Nahj ul Balagah, the seminal work of wisdom by Ali ibn Talib (Karm Allah Wajho)[i] comprises the sermons, letters and sayings, delivered by him on various occasions during his life till his death. Every piece of writing in this work is exponent of his wisdom and his scholarship. The objective of this article is to highlight the role of Hazrat Ali’s insight and wisdom in the history of theology and theosophy of Islamic history of thought. Moreover, the focus of this humble research is to bring into light the missing aspect of Hazrat Ali’s personality as Theologian and Theosophist along-with to reveal the significance of his sermons and saying in the hot debates of that time theological sects and schools of thought. All his sermons, sayings and letters had been collected (Sharif al-Radi, 970 –1015 AD) and named as Nahj ul Balagah. This book has been read, quoted and revered but it is tragic fact that it had neither been given proper place nor understood impartially. In the same manner, the author, Hazrat Ali (KAW) had been respected and remembered as valor, wise, generous and pious person but very little had been mentioned regarding his being as a Theologian and Theosophist. This research article would reveal the significance of this book, and its relevance regarding the theological or theosophical dimension of the problem of Muslim Theology and Theosophy.
Nahj ul Balagah》是阿里-伊本-塔利卜(Karm Allah Wajho)[i] 的开山之作,包括他生前至死在各种场合发表的布道、书信和言论。这部著作中的每一篇文章都体现了他的智慧和学识。本文旨在强调哈兹拉特-阿里的洞察力和智慧在伊斯兰思想史的神学和哲学史中的作用。此外,本文研究的重点是揭示哈兹拉特-阿里作为神学家和哲学家的人格魅力中缺失的一面,同时揭示他的布道和箴言在当时神学教派和思想流派的激烈争论中的意义。他的所有布道、言论和书信都被收集起来(Sharif al-Radi,公元 970 -1015 年),命名为《Nahj ul Balagah》。这本书一直被人们阅读、引用和尊崇,但可悲的是,它既没有得到适当的重视,也没有得到公正的理解。同样,作者哈兹拉特-阿里(Hazrat Ali (KAW))作为英勇、睿智、慷慨和虔诚的人受到人们的尊敬和怀念,但关于他作为神学家和哲学家的事迹却很少被提及。这篇研究文章将揭示这本书的意义及其与穆斯林神学和神哲学问题的神学或神哲学层面的相关性。

The greatest tutor of all time is widely regarded as being the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). In the field of Seerah literature, several study researchers have so far conducted a great deal of work with a combination of passion and devotion. One of the most amazing aspects of the noblest personality of the Prophet Mohammad (SAW) is that people of all religions, regardless of their affiliation, have produced masterworks of literature. In this regard, each contributor has made an effort to absorb and share nuggets of wisdom, love, and sacred attachment with the Prophet of Islam (SAW) to the best of their abilities. One of the most notable figures in Seerah Writing is Allam Sayad Sulaman Nadvi, who is regarded as a significant pioneer in the field. He published a few works on Seerah, including Seeraat-un-Nabi (SAW), Khutbat Madras, Rahmat Alam, and Muhammad the Ideal Prophet. He also gathered a wealth of information on Seerah. The main goals of this article are to provide an overview of the scholarly literature on Seeraat un-Nabi and to emphasise Allama Sayad Sulaman Nadvi's biography.

The creation of Pakistan was the result of Islamic ideology. The Muslims were demanding a separate homeland where they would apply the teachings of Islam. Following Pakistan’s establishment, the principles of Islam were included in the constitution-making process in the form of an Objective Resolution. The Constitutions of 1956, 1962, and 1973 were all based solely on Islamic principles. Any laws that were considered to be anti-Islam were firmly rejected by the public at large, resulting in severe agitation. When the socialist Pakistan People’s Party tried to re-emerge in Pakistan’s political arena in 1977, Islamic ideology proved to be a binding force against PPP, prompting the formation of the Pakistan National Alliance. In 1988, the socialist PPP returned to Pakistani politics, and supporters of Islamic ideology, including the military, government, and religious political parties, formed an alliance against her, forming Islami Jamhuri Ittehad. IJI took part in elections but did not win the support of the voters. Now the question is why IJI, Pakistan’s largest religious-political alliance, was unable to defeat the PPP, a single political party. What were the reasons behind its failure? How the PPP dealt with opposition strategies in elections, including the President, Military, and IJI? What were the real causes of PPP’s success in the elections? The answers of these question are the real motive of this research.
巴基斯坦的建立是伊斯兰意识形态的结果。穆斯林要求建立一个独立的家园,在那里他们将奉行伊斯兰教义。巴基斯坦成立后,伊斯兰教原则以客观决议的形式被纳入宪法制定过程。1956 年、1962 年和 1973 年的宪法都完全以伊斯兰原则为基础。任何被认为是反伊斯兰教的法律都遭到了广大民众的坚决反对,导致了严重的骚乱。1977 年,社会主义的巴基斯坦人民党试图重新崛起于巴基斯坦政坛,伊斯兰意识形态被证明是反对人民党的一股强大力量,促使巴基斯坦民族联盟的成立。1988 年,社会主义的人民党重返巴基斯坦政坛,伊斯兰意识形态的支持者,包括军方、政府和宗教政党,组成了一个反对人民党的联盟,成立了伊斯兰民众联盟(Islami Jamhuri Ittehad)。伊斯兰祈祷团参加了选举,但没有赢得选民的支持。现在的问题是,作为巴基斯坦最大的宗教政治联盟,伊斯兰祈祷团为何无法击败人民党这一单一政党?失败背后的原因是什么?人民党在选举中是如何应对包括总统、军方和伊斯兰教祈祷团在内的反对派策略的?人民党在选举中取得成功的真正原因是什么?这些问题的答案才是本研究的真正动机。

Allama Iqbal is a poet of life, creation, evolution, passion and love. Life is a creative process for them. According to Iqbal, the value of this art is that it is life-giving and an interpreter of life. However, according to them, skill and art should be such that it is possible to achieve the highest values of life, to lead the society from low to high. According to Iqbal, art is that which gives life and is the interpreter of life, which moves the dead and depressed emotions, which teaches to live and die for a higher purpose. The true art is the one who makes his art a means of curing national diseases, the purpose of art is to enhance the beauty of life and to lead the society from low to high, to familiarize with the pleasure of revolution and to usher in a new era, a new era. In the search for revolution, one has to keep a hot head. Iqbal Jalali attaches great importance to trend. It is an expression of glory and self-power, creative values, creative meanings and the existence of the universe depends on it.

The main aim of this study was to explore the relationship between personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experiences) and anxiety with the mediating role of desire for fame among TikTokers. For this purpose, cross-sectional research was conducted on the sample of 205 male and female young adults using purposive sampling technique. Ten Item Personality Inventory, Hamilton Anxiety Measure scale, and Desire for Fame scale were used to measure the variables. Results showed a significant positive association between Extraversion and Desire for fame, while a non-significant relationship with anxiety. It showed a significant positive relationship between Agreeableness, anxiety and desire for fame. Conscientiousness shows a significantly positive relationship with anxiety and desire for fame. Emotional stability is significantly positively related to anxiety and desire for fame. Openness shows a significantly positive correlation with anxiety and desire for fame. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation exists between anxiety and desire fame. The t-test results showed that there will be a gender difference in extraversion trait, agreeableness trait and openness to experience trait. There is no statistically significant difference in terms of area (urban and rural). Individuals with age range 18-21 reported higher anxiety as compared to the 22-24 and 25-28 age ranges. Desire for fame appeared to fully mediate the path between personality traits and anxiety. These findings fill the research gap and have practical implications in the area of psychological health concerns and social media use.

Desire for fame appeared to fully mediate the path between personality traits and anxiety. These findings fill the research gap and have practical implications in the area of psychological health concerns and social media use.","PeriodicalId":165966,"journal":{"name":"Al-Qamar","volume":" 35","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140221685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Islamic Studies, the status of Hadith comes next to the Holy Quran. The teachings of Quran are interpreted in the light of Hadith. Moreover, all commandments and queries of Shariah have come through Hadith. In the beginning of Islam, the Muslims considered the Hadith as the most important source of knowledge. In this regard, Muhaddiseen offered such services and wrote such books as ever exemplified in the history of the world. It is fact that the concoction of Hadith started in the Nabvi Era and continued till the period of followers (Tabeen). There were multi-dimensional motives behind this evil like lust, atheism, religious biasness, sectarian indifferences, fame and obedience of kings and rulers etc. Muhadditheen face this evil’s challenge with zeal and zest in every era of the Islamic history. They framed the best principles to overcome the situation for the safeguard the Hadith. In this regard, the Muhadditheen of the Sub-continent played an unforgettable and historical role. So that I have discussed the concocted the Hadith in this article. The article is so informative and enlightening that the reader feels it useful in this field. Particularly, the Sub-continent has always played a vital role in this regard, for the most authentic books of Hadith have come from this part of the world.

It is an undeniable truth that the channel through which revelation became known to humankind is prophethood. Both revelation and prophethood are thus intertwined; the explanation of one will remain wanting without reference to the other. But majority of the Orientalists have tried their best to criticize and accuse Qur’anic revelation with a lot of misconceptions and allegations concerning wahy since dawn. So, this paper tries to find out the Orientalists view and concept on wahy based on the writings of western scholars. This paper gives high focus on analyzing their concepts and views related the issue and to answer and rectify the misconceptions describing the real facts and teaching of Islam in the issue related to wahy. So, this paper will be helpful to establish fact on Qur’anic revelation to the Prophet. Like other Orientalists, William Montgomery watt and Robert Spencer have actually denied Islamic scholars views about revelation and Prophet hood in their Qur’an commentaries. In this paper, an effort has been made to examine the arguments of both western scholars and to deduce the actual position about this topic. In this research written with a descriptive, comparative and analytical approach, it is proved that according to Quran, sciences of Tafsir and Hadith literature, history and logic, the explicit concepts of both scholars about revelation of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are baseless and have been rejected with the arguments given by the majority of the Muslim scholars and thinkers.
