The ijtihad of the mujtahid is based on the religion of the people, and sometimes this ijtihad goes against the religion of the people, then it is called tafarrud. Tafarrud is a scholarly term referring to a person of knowledge and virtue, and experts in their field, who, being fully aware and informed of all demands of knowledge and skill, establish an independent opinion based on scholarly evidence, separate from the majority of scholars.

تفسیر قرآن میں جاہلی شاعری سے استشھاد: فتح القدیر کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ Allah Almighty revealed the Holy Qur’ān on Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم in the most eloquent form of Arabic language. That’s why the knowledge of eloquent and rhetorical Arabic language is considered one of the main sources which help to understand the meaning of Allah’s words. Jahilī poetry because of its highest level of eloquence and rhetoric, is called Dīwān e Arab. Keeping in view of this fact, most of the Narrators (Muffasireen) right from the time of Sahaba (R.A) used to get help from the ancient Arabic poetry to clarify the meanings of Allah’s Book. In this regard, the method of Tarjumān Al- Qur’ān Ḥazrat ʿAbdullah Ibn ʿAbbās(R.A) is very vivid. Almost all the great Narrators (Muffasireen) followed his footstep in this field. The writer of Tafsīr Fatḥ Al-Qadīr, Imam Muhammad AL- shokānī also is not different from the others in this regard. He used the Arabic poetry generally and Ancient Arabic poetry specifically to elaborate the meanings of the revealed book. This thesis will justify the fact that in first half of Quran imam shokānī very often got help from Ancient Arabic poetry while interpreting the Qur’anic text. Th subject matter is divided into four chapters and each chapter is further divided into sub-units.The first chapter is about the importance and requirement of invoking jahili poetry for interpreting the words of God. It also covers the introduction of Fathul qadeer and its writer. The second chapter covers the details of verses where jahili poetry has been invoked to elaborate the linguistic matters. The third chapter gives the details of places where syntactical issues have been elucidated through invoking jahili poetry. Last chapter deals with the rhetorical matters in this regard.

Islamic Response to Radicalization: Issues and Challenges in Higher Education Institutes of Islamabad-Pakistan From the past two decades, Pakistan has seen the worst terrorist attacks on schools, mosques, madāris (Islamic Religious institutions), and law enforcement agencies. The War on Terror has caused great damage, in terms of lost precious lives and millions of dollars’ worth of business. With the rise of militancy in the country, a specific discourse on Jihād has also prevailed, creating a huge chasm between the national narrative on terrorism and popular discourse in the country. The phenomenon of radicalization or extremism is not new in Pakistan, but a dangerous turn came when it seeped into the educated university-going youth of the country. Educated youth have committed numerous unfortunate incidents as planned acts of violence. The term ‘Radicalization’ ‘itself needs clarification as there is no agreed-upon definition. The first chapter is related to introduction and significance of the study, research questions, hypothesis and research design. In the second chapter the phenomenon of radicalization has been compared with Islamic concepts of Ghūluw fi ad-Dīn, Hirabah and Al Wala wal Bara in understanding radicalization in Pakistan along with explaining the significant drivers of radicalization in society and academia that have been identified by the interviewees and previously held studies. The third chapter shed some light on formation of Muslim identity in Sub-Continent and particularly in Pakistan. Keeping in view the diverse educational systems in the country, the issues and challenges are discussed at the HEIs. The fourth and fifth chapters have explored the Islamic scholar's response to radicalization, especially in the academic circles of Islamabad, resulting in devising a de-radicalization strategy based on Islamic principles of moderation, justice, compassion, and tolerance. The research adopts a qualitative paradigm with analytical approach to reach to the conclusion. This thesis has explored the challenges of growing radical views and intolerance in our youth. The research set out to test this claim by conducting semi-structured interviews with Islamic Studies instructors and Islamic scholars/experts to confirm whether there is any radicalization support within academic settings. Scholars suggested that radicalism persists in the region if there is active or passive support for this in society. The findings of this study indicate that Islam inherently denounces all forms of radicalization and instead fosters a culture of peaceful coexistence, ethical engagement in dispute, and meaningful dialogue with individuals of differing perspectives. This study proposes the implementation of technology-based refresher courses for instructors of Islamic Studies, uniform single curriculum for all and the promotion of peacebuilding initiatives.

صحیح البخاری اور الکافی کی تفسیری احادیث و آثار کا تقابلی جائزہ A comparative study of the Tafseeri Ahadith and Asaar (narrations) from Sahih al-Bukhari and Al-Kafi involves analyzing the approach of these two key Islamic texts in the interpretation and explanation (Tafseer) of Hadiths, with a focus on their authenticity, content, and theological implications. Both texts are highly significant in Sunni and Shia Islam, respectively, but they belong to different traditions and therefore reflect distinct interpretative methodologies and theological perspectives. Sahih al-Bukhari: Sahih al-Bukhari, Compiled by Imam Muhammad bin Ismail al-Bukhari, this collection is widely regarded as one of the most authentic books of Hadith in Sunni Islam. Sahih al-Bukhari contains narrations attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and is known for its rigorous criteria for authenticity. The collection consists of over 7,000 Ahadith (including repetitions). Imam al-Bukhari established Kitab al-Tafseer in Sahih al-Bukhari, in which he described the Tafseeri hadiths and Asaar. Al-Kafi: Al-Kafi, compiled by the Shia scholar al-Kulayni, is one of the four main Hadith collections in Shia Islam. It is considered the most authoritative source of Hadith in Shia. The collection is divided into three main sections: Usul al-Kafi (dealing with theology), Furu’ al-Kafi (dealing with practical law), and Rawdat al-Kafi (miscellaneous narrations). Imam Kulaini did not establish Kitab al-Tafseer in al-Kafi, but in other chapters he described the interpretation of hadiths and Asaar. The following basic questions will be addressed during the research: 1) What are the interpretation principles of Ahl al-Sunnah and Ahl al Shia? 2) What are the explanatory hadiths and Asaar of Sahih Al-Bukhari and Al-Kafi regarding beliefs, worship and society? 3) What are the commonalities and differences between Sahih al-Bukhari and al-Kafi's commentary hadiths and Asaar? 4) How can interfaith coordination be created? A comparative study of the Tafseeri Ahadith from Sahih al-Bukhari and Al-Kafi reveals significant differences in their theological approaches, methodologies, and implications. Sahih al-Bukhari tends to align with the broader Sunni understanding of Islamic history and jurisprudence, whereas Al-Kafi offers a Shia perspective deeply rooted in the concepts of Imamate and the unique spiritual and legal role of the Ahl al-Bayt. A study of both these books revealed that they contain Tafseeri hadiths and Asaar, and that they also have similarities and differences.
سيرتِ انبياء كی روشنی ميں خاندان كی اصلاح و تربيت Allah sent many Prophets for the guidance of people. For every nation there was a prophet according to the need of time. Some of them are mentioned in the Qur'an while others are not. Every Prophet guided his nation to the straight path and tried to bring them to the right path in different ways. Some people used to accept this invitation while some refused and even made fun of it. The methodology of Da’wah that every Prophet followed was that they started from their own family and close friends. Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم also gave the message of Islam first to his wife Khadija 􂟤رااھن􀆷ع 􃠕ا. In this thesis it is discussed that what were the teachings of the Prophets regarding to their family. Which methodology was adopted by them when they conveyed the message of Islam to their family? How they reformed their beliefs? How they dealt with the family matters? How they reformed their way of worship what was their methodology? All these questions are answered in the light of Quranic verses. The research method is analytical. The verses of the Quran that are related to the Prophetic teachings of Islam to their family are found and then those verses are explained in the light of such tafaseer which have been written on the basis of Da’wah. The study came up with many results and one of the most important result is that the Prophets not only ordered their family to act upon the teachings of Islam but also they became a role model for them so that their way of living became an example for their families. This research suggests that there is a need to study about the seerah of the companions of Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that what was their way of conveying the message of Allah to their families and how they went through severe hardships while dealing with their families.
