Purpose of the study: This paper will discuss the gaps in the current and Islamic education systems, focusing on Indo-Pakistan. Islamic education aims to bring attitudinal changes and build a value system among humans that should transform society by promoting love, peace, equality, purity, integrity, forgiveness, and justice. Methodology: This is descriptive research where Islamic education and Contemporary education have been analyzed. Emphasis has been placed on Indo-Pakistan, the Western education system, and the Islamization of education in Pakistan and its future. Principal Findings: As a state, Pakistan comprises politically, geographically, culturally, linguistically, and educationally diverse people. They cannot trace their origins by calling themselves Arabs or Indians. That conflict is reflected in Pakistan's education system – which has lost its identity to be called either religious or contemporary. The moral and ethical standards to bring any positive behavior change are hardly maintained to groom the graduates in the current education system. The Western education left by the British in the Subcontinent, including Pakistan, has its colonial drawbacks, which need to be addressed. Application of this study: In Pakistan and other Islamic states, it is essential to instill Islamic values within the current education system. One of the viable solutions that could make the Muslim world, including Pakistan, move forward is to accept modern-day learning practices and introduce a hybrid education system. A system that safeguards Islam's values and principles and has rich content of research and development in various fields carried out by the West, irrespective of religious affiliation. This study would benefit researchers and policymakers in framing such an education system. The novelty of this study: The paper frames some recommendations to tailor the existing education system according to the Islamic education system.

Purpose of the study: The targets of the review were to figure out the effect of perusing literary texts on the improvement of language abilities, working of jargon, punctuation, grammar, composing articulation and the highlight composing abilities of the ESL students. The ESL students deal with a ton of issues in language learning, especially during the time spent composing abilities; because the most common way of composing needs its very own topic, a circumstance, which customary course books loaded with syntax practices can't give. Methodology: The data-gathering instruments include Questionnaires; an Open-ended Questionnaire, a Close-ended Questionnaire and a Semi-structured Interview. This research was qualitative. For the convenience of the current research, the researcher primarily gathered open-ended items from the respondents through an open-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interview schedule from students and teachers respectively. Main Findings: In order to take maximum benefits from literature for language learning especially writing skills, activity-based leaning needs to be given emphasis in the classroom. But there should be systematic criteria for selection of classroom activities. Applications of the study: This study provides an awareness of the way language is used in literary discourse for the conveying of unique message.The students can study literature for only language learning. Literature should first succeed as literary experience no matter how much it helps in language learning. Novelty/Originality of the study: This study can pave grounds for the ESL learners in the language classroom using literary texts as the material especially designed for the writing activities (for children aged 5-12 years).This study would increase ESL learners’ interest in both reading literary texts and doing writing tasks based on them.

Purpose of study: The objective of this study is to demonstrate that, when compared to science, religion offers more potent and successful treatments for depression. While healing procedures provided by science are not accessible to everyone, Divine connections' solutions are more affordable and accessible. Methodology: Comparative analysis has been utilized as a methodological framework focusing on individualizing, universalizing, discovering variation, and embracing. As a conceptual framework, Abrahamic religions have been kept in view. The often-employed and highly regarded experimental and observational strategy for comparing studies has been implemented. Findings: Abrahamic religions claim God Almighty is the sole creator of the universe. Since God made human beings and only He knows how humans can live a happy life during their stay on the earth, the ways given to humankind by Him as compared to artificial solutions are the best in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. Application of the study: If the search for peace and contentment leads man to hunt for ways how to tune in his internal divine spark with the spark of nature outside to find the best solutions for freeing himself from mental stress and depression, then this study can serve as a foundation stone. Moreover, this article provides some primary material for those who make up their mind to study monotheistic religions (Corrigan et al., 1998) for peace of mind.
研究目的:本研究的目的是证明,与科学相比,宗教为抑郁症提供了更有效、更成功的治疗方法。虽然科学提供的治疗程序并不是每个人都能获得,但神圣连接的解决方案更实惠,更容易获得。方法:比较分析作为一种方法框架,侧重于个体化、普遍化、发现变化和拥抱。作为一个概念框架,亚伯拉罕诸教一直在考虑之中。已经实施了经常使用和高度重视的比较研究的实验和观察策略。发现:亚伯拉罕诸教声称全能的上帝是宇宙的唯一创造者。因为上帝创造了人类,只有他知道人类在地球上如何才能过上幸福的生活,所以与人为的解决方案相比,上帝给人类的方法在效率和效果上是最好的。研究的应用:如果对和平和满足的追求导致人们寻找如何将内心的神圣火花与外在的自然火花相协调的方法,以找到将自己从精神压力和抑郁中解放出来的最佳解决方案,那么这项研究可以作为基石。此外,本文还为那些决心学习一神论宗教(Corrigan et al., 1998)以获得心灵平静的人提供了一些主要材料。
