Paradigm Shift in Shariah Law: From Traditional Islamic State to Modern Islamic State
The goal of man has always been to enhance his social, economic, and political circumstances. He was able to discover better means of living in terms of food, shelter, and education through his tireless efforts. In diverse places of the world, the groundwork for a new set of culture and civilisation was gradually laid. Some of the greatest men who transformed social conventions and developed significant ethical, political, and philosophical ideals of life came from Babylonia, Assyria, Greece, India, and China. Plato and Aristotle stood out among them. Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Politics hold sway among the political treatises. The Greek intellectuals left behind their heritage of political organisation in a scientific form and imagined citizen rights as well as the moral and just ideals with felicity of expression. Among contemporary political theorists, Rousseau stands out for having beautifully articulated his thesis of the "social contract." The assumptions that are made when Islamic law and international human rights law are mentioned in the same sentence or title can differ. Some people can interpret that juxtaposition as an attempt to oppose current Islamic law norms in the human rights agendas' interest. Others might detect an implied message in the juxtaposition aim to maintain Muslim colonial subjugation to the global North portions of the South. Others, however, might perceive a qualification of any assertion of truth or desire for a universally understood language.

The Use of load speakers in Pakistan, an analytical study in perspective of noise pollution.
Every Muslim says five-time prayer in a day. The prayer can be said in home, but Islamic teachings focus the Muslims to say prayer in mosque with Jamaat. For jamaat prayer it should be Azan and Eqama. Nowadays Azan done by load speakers, and there are many mosques in one street, so when the Azan start in every mosque the atmosphere will become strange.

In this paper, an attempt will be made to examine the various aspects of noise pollution in the light of Pakistani society.

The Article aims to highlight the views of the Orientalists about the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم hadiths, especially in terms of their origins and authenticities. It is a critical analysis of the approaches of Western scholars. Their approaches are not always the same, it may be said that often they use combinations of different methods, however they have asked one question in their quest for authenticity: Is the Hadith historically reliable? Hence the results of their studies are considered nowadays as reliable in the European and American Universities, therefore any exploration of the orientalist view of the authenticity of Hadith literature must focus on this specific question. The Article also discusses that how the contemporary Muslim scholars disprove the theories of orientalists about Hadith literature.
Children's Rights in the Light of Islamic Teachings and the International Convention on the Rights of the Child CRC: An Analytical Study
Background/Introduction:The Rights that Islam has given to children, cannot be extended to the west and Europe. For every stage of life, from pregnancy to death, the universal principles of human nature are given. As soon as he born, he is commanded to provide the best food, to have a good name and to celebrate it. From the beginning, he is commanded to train well. The rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of the rights of the child are superficial and inadequate. And most of the emphasis in the convention is on the freedom, which creates an environment of wandering. Conclusion: According to Islamic Teachings, every child is born with the nature of Islam, and after birth his environment makes him a Jew or a Christian or a magian. The Islamic way of life and education is very different from the way of Europe and the west. Here in Islamic Teachings the child can be allowed to be reprimanded, if necessary, while there in West, the child is left unchecked. This article outlines the limitations of children’s rights in the light of Islamic teachings and CRC (Convention on the Rights of Children) along with the characteristics of Islamic teachings.
Shariah Partnership and Islamic Banking in the Light of Shariah Injunctions - A Research Study
The modern day institutionalization of Islamic Banking is viewed as the manifestation of the political will of independent Muslim nation states that emerged after the Second World War. The Muslim population of these newly formed nation states pleaded for a financial system that is aligned with their religious value system. Over five decades ago the earliest conceptualization of an Islamic banks was pegged on the ideals of participatory forms of financial intermediation. The profit/risk-sharing and equity based contracts of Musharaka and Mudaraba have always been idealized in the Islamic finance literature. However, the contemporary Islamic banks are predominantly engaged in debt-based asset and liability structures based on Murabaha, Salam, and Istisna contracts. This divergence is often attributed to lack of knowledge development around participatory modes, and also Islamization of knowledge to co-opt the existing financial structures. This paper seeks to address this gap, by conducting a thorough review of the historical, intellectual, and religious foundations of participatory business and finance, with a special focus on the institutionalization of Musharaka and Mudaraba contracts. This paper presents a comprehensive review of religious injunction drawn on Quran, Hadith, Sunnah and Fiqhi sources around participatory modes. Finally, this paper also presents the international standards, implications and applications of participatory modes in the contemporary settings e.g. (AAOIFI Standards, joint stock companies, and depositor’s profit pool management in Islamic banks). Findings of this paper shall potentially elucidate the practitioners, regulators, investors, and borrowers in fostering participatory/risk-sharing/equity based modes of financial intermediation.

Trend of "Summary of Quran" in Qur’anic Tafseer and Interpretation: Principles and Rules
The tendency to "Abstract" in the interpretation of the Qur'an has a clear benefit for the people. The interpretation of Qur'an is summarized from the point of view of ease in understanding the message of the Qur'an because sometimes due to a long subject the mind of the reader shifts to the other side. Sometimes the attention of reader diverts from the main idea or message to a subtopic. Summary of the Qur'an is actually the focal point of a long topic, in which the conclusion and essence of Qur'anic verse/subject presented. The trend of summarizing the Qur'an has come to the fore in modern times. In this regard, several books have been written under the name of "Khalasat-ul-Quran". In these summaries, Qur'anic topics are explained in a concise, simple and easy to understand language. In this article, the methodology and style of these summaries has been reviewed in the commentary of the Holy Qur'an. The benefits, types, and features of summaries are discussed in detail. This is an initial attempt at a topic that discusses the basic aspects of the subject, but there is still room for research on other aspects.

The movements of stars in the light of Quranic Study
Almost everyone frequently has questions regarding how the world came into being, the stages of the earth's genesis, the emergence of light and darkness, and the existence of both living and non-living things. In other words, considering the many facets of Nature is a fundamental feature of human nature. The theological review will be provided here with consideration for the human need to learn about nature. We have talked about these characteristics of the universe from both a religious and scientific standpoint. The focus of the current article is on the details of the universe's creation, the way it works, and the origin of life that are detailed in the Holy Quran and the Bible. Furthermore, a comparison of the religious claims with scientific explanations, such as the Big Bang and other related occurrences, has been offered. Therefore, it is obvious that none of the modern studies and discoveries can be taken to be the actual goal of the Qur'an, as modern scholars have stated. Similarly, contrary to what some conservative scholars have said, these discoveries do not violate the Holy Qur'an. The truth is that the Qur'an is quiet on these topics and does not address them. If a fact is established via trials or observations, it cannot be seen as in conflict with the Qur'an, and it should not be attempted to impose unproven realities on the Qur'an through imaginative interpretations.

The Word Lost; It’s Usage and Causes in the Holy Quran; A Research Overview
The Holy Quran is the starting point for all kinds of sciences and from very beginning of the revealing to the Holy Quran many chapters of new sciences was opened. Especially, the sciences of the Holy Quran (علوم القرآن)ware given keen attention due to its importance because it defined and sought out several aspects for reformation of life of the this world and hereafter.

Unity of the Ummah - Obstacles and Solutions
To bring about the unity and creations within Muslim Ummah, Quran and Sunnah are the only two ways to be followed as Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) started his prophetic mission via them, and subsequently, scattered tribes embroidered with silk of guidance, like a bright jewel in the ring. First, to shut the door of sectarianism, all the mosques and religious institutes must be governed by the Auqaf department in order to accumulate erudite people. Non-serious individuals usually fan the sectarian fire in random mosques and irregular institutes. Second, "The Council of Islamic Ideology" must be established on the international level in order to accumulate different Islamic schools of thought in which they ought to research and compose Islamic postulates rather than subsidiaries. In addition, they have to be responsible for advertising and implementing it as well. Third, political movements must be run under the auspices of Islam so that all parties can be on the same page regarding religious issues. But the right to gain support for their political manifestos. They deserve it only in the field of welfare. Fourth, to preserve the rights of all Muslims, an "International Council of Islamic Politics" must exist. Fifth, an "International Islamic Military" must be formed in the pattern of western NATO forces, who should work under the authority of the "International Council of Islamic Politics". These aforementioned five points can create real unity within the Muslim Ummah.

Legal Pluralism in Pakistan: The Lawfare Legacy of the British Indian Empire athwart the Islamic Social Justice System
Historically, religion, unity and justice in the Age of Empires were the basis of civilizations, and not merely avowals of various civilizational worldviews. In the context, the growth of Islam and Muslims as opposed to Hindus in Hindustan is perceptible. Islam and the Islamic civilization in the various stages of its historical development and diffusion is part of history. The subsequent creation of Pakistan and India from the womb of Hindustan is fathomable too. Although Muslims and Hindus finally broke the British shackles, the threefold legacy of the British Indian Empire still endures. It includes foreign policy, the frontier policy and the Lawfare. Both India and Pakistan as residuary legatees of the British Indian Empire inherited the legacy in order of succession with the foreign policy going to India, the frontier policy to Pakistan and the two as co-sharers in the Lawfare. Besides, the idea to establish Islamic social justice system in Pakistan after the partition of British India is explored. Plus, the legacy of the British lawfare in the framework of development of legal system in Pakistan is analyzed too. Still, this paper is primarily the study of etymology of law in Pakistan.
Minor Portents of the Day of Judgement from Tafseer ibn Abi hatim
To be a true believer in Islam, it is of significant importance to believe in the Day of Judgment. The concept of the Day of Judgment is the fundamental segment of a true believer. This research mainly focuses on a comparative analysis of minor signs of the hour. The study investigates this concept in the light of the Holy Qur’an, Ahadith of the Prophet (P.B.U.H), and the sayings of the Companions. The study then compares all these findings with the beliefs of philosophers, mystics, and theologians. Moreover, the study explores the beliefs of philosophers, mystics, and some theological sects, such as the Shiites, the Mu'tazila, and the Sunnis in their beliefs towards the minor signs of the hour. Therefore, the diverse nature of this comparative research makes the contribution more significant in the field of the Islamic faith. It has become clear through this research that the unseen is not known by empirical science, but rather its sources are the Holy Qur’an and Ahadith. The study validates that the interpretations of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) are most authentic and reliable, as these interpretations of beliefs have been directly extracted and practiced according to the true guidance of the Holy Qur’an, and Ahadith. The study also substantiates that the philosophers, mystics, theologians and other religious scholars of various sects adopted different methods and approaches to comprehend the concept of signs of the hour and the Day of Judgment, so, the authenticity of their beliefs is considered less credible. Finally, the research suggests to follow and practice the most authentic sources, i.e., Holy Qur'an, Ahadith, and sayings of Companions of Prophet (P.B.U.H).

“Imam al-Aini’s concern to the Exegetical Sayings through Umdat al-Qari, Explanation of Sahih al-Bukhari” “Surat al-Nisaa”
This entire article revolves around the exegetical narrations in Surat An-Nisa through Umdat Al-Qari, and I mentioned the method of Allama Aini, may God have mercy on him, and I quoted from his book to set an example in every field of interpretation, where as in some places I just copied the relevant example part instead of whole narration. As I divided my research into three sections (and each section had four to six headings); The first is about the narration of the explanatory sayings in Umdat al-Qari, the second is on its exegetical sources, and the third is about the most important investigations that Allama al-Aini, may God have mercy on him, was exposed to in the transmission of explanatory sayings in his book. Al-Ayni is that he deals in his book with linguistic and grammatical research, and research related to the sciences of the Qur’an and the principles of interpretation, including the reason for revelation, the arbitrator, and the abrogation. And the readings, as well as mentioning the difference in the chain of narration, the text and the narrator’s chain, as well as during the research in the interpretation of the verses. He deals with (Prophetic hadiths), the sayings of the Companions, and sayings of the successors and their successors, also the sayings of scholars who are considered interpreters. This research resulted that God has endowed him with knowledge like a sea that does not fill the searcher of pearls. Then ended with a conclusion in which I mentioned the most important results and some recommendations and suggestions.
Iqbal’s Life, Thought and Work for Muslim Ummah: An Analysis
Humanity delights in the exploits of great men, as they show to what heights man can rise, and Iqbal’s life provides a noble and inspiring example of the heights to which the human intellect can soar in spheres so widely apart. Iqbal is generally known as the greatest poet-philosopher of this age. Who had written poetry and prose having a depth of philosophy, which is a very rare combination. But when someone try to analyze all the facets of his work the versatility of his genius simply staggers his imagination. He had discussed the fundamental problem as a true believer, poet, and philosopher. He also possessed another characteristic essential to the genius which is a critical understanding of the past to meet the demand of the present and the challenges of the future. As the philosophy of Iqbal deals with matters concerning mankind, other thinkers in the East and the West have given their thoughts to the same problems considered by Iqbal. It is an extremely hazardous task to discover whether affinities exist between the ideas of Iqbal and those of other great thinkers of the world, but to trace the sources of his thought is more so. Sir Muhammad Iqbal, despite his learning and wide reading, is no mere echo of other men’s ideas but is distinctly an original thinker. A descriptive analysis of Iqbal's life, distinctive thought, and creative output are presented in this paper. Iqbal has described his own solutions to address the various flaws of the Muslim Ummah, which are still relevant.
Fatāwā related to Khul‘ in Pakistan & Egypt : An Analysis in the light of sharī‘ah
Among different ways of separation through husband and wife khul‘ is the one of the way which is the right of wife. Wife has given right of khul‘ when she feel dissatisfied living with her husband. Talāq is the right of husband and the khul‘ is the right of wife both of which has a difference in ruling but the separation takes place between them by both of the ways. The separation (talāq) happens the minute a man expresses some particular words. Anyways the Khul‘ doesn't happen by minor explanation of the female or her interest for Khul‘. Or maybe there is a technique for its occurring. Pakistani culture does not recommend women to ask for her right of khul‘ because the culture does not support it. Mostly, woman need to approach court for khul‘. In Sharī‘ah it is the woman right but she needs to take the consent of husband. Traditional law is also in view that for khul‘ the consent of husband is necessary. In modern times the courts do not seek the presence and consent of husband. The woman is suffering due to non-presence of husband in the court. According to Hanafi school khul is, where wife requests her husband to release her on which husband gives his consent, but on receiving back from her, the Mehr. The present research is a comparative analysis in light of Fatawa regarding Khul‘ in Pakistan and Egypt and its effect on women family life.
Jurisprudential Singularities and Anomalies: A Critical Comparative Analysis of Tafeer-ul-Quran and Matalib-ul-Furqan in the Light of Tafseer-e-Haqqani and Tafseer-e-Sanai
The paper aims at analyzing the jurisprudential singularities and anomalies arising from the individualistic opinions of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and Ghulam Ahmad Pervaiz in their exegeses of Quran, namely Tafseer-ul-Quran and Matalib-ul-Furqan respectively, in critical and comparative light of Tafseer-e-Haqqani by Maulana Abdul Haq Haqqani and Tafsser-e-Sanai by Maulana Sana Ullah Amratsari. It has remained a common practice throughout Islamic history that various sects have moulded Quranic interpretations according to their beliefs and ideologies. Consequently, different kinds of exegeses of Quran appeared on the horizon. In the context of the Sub-Continent, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan is considered the torch bearer of the first era and Ghulam Ahmad Pervaiz led the second era of the reason-based deviant school of thought. Their Quranic commentaries are full of ideological and jurisprudential anomalies as they preferred their opinions over the interpretations of majority of Muslim scholars and jurists. The main reason for the jurisprudential anomalies in their exegeses is that both of them negate authentic Hadith as a basic source of Islamic law, whenever it is in contrast with their personal preferences. However, the orthodox scholars like Maulana Abdual Haq Haqqani and Maulana Sana Ullah Amratsari have critiqued such individualistic opinions by criticizing their authenticity in light of the teachings of the mainstream Islam. Moreover, they have tried to explain jurisprudential ordinances, such as Hajj, Sacrifice, Compensation of Fasting, Food of Ahl-e-Kitab (people of the book) and Usury, in the true Islamic spirit.
The Center of Existence and Consciousness in the light of Islamic Teachings: An Analytical Study
Wisdom and lucidity is a blessing from Almighty Allah and its accurate and precise application makes mankind, the noblest of creatures; but the negative approach leads to convert one into immorality (Asfal us Safileen). Mankind is the most superior to all other creatures and bound by the Allah’s commandments. It is because of this intellect and logic that man realizes, understands and meditates on self and universal blessings. This is also a part of human soul which is under the domination of our logic and is called subconscious or unconscious. All our emotions, feelings and thoughts come into the subconscious; When left unmanaged, they can be left astray and lose the right path resulting a person getting into depression or mental sickness and beliefs can ruffled. The core point of a Muslim concoction is Eman (belief in Allah SWT), the whole orbit of which is based on confession and confirmation in heart. If Eman (faith) becomes the only center of conscious; people with strong faith (Eman) can draw much more benefits from religion (deen) and they will be able to unite Allah’s creatures. At present, scientific challenges are preventing our conscience from becoming true Muslims with strong faith (Eman) and now that it is necessary to unite conscious and learn to dispel the doubts of today’s advanced era. In order to develop the centre of existence and consciousness as an ethical being, it is vital to part with opposing and conflicting penchants and leanings

National Integration: A Scholarly Approach in the light of Quran & Sunnah
Allah Has descended man on this earth with a very systematic and guided way to live and run the business of life. This purpose could not be achieved without a proper guide and hence Allah Has sent different prophets on this earth to guide man and has been instructed to follow the guidelines of the prophets in order to live a successful life. This following basically requires man to hold a kind of integrity and unity and Quran clearly instructs man to do so if he wants to be successful. Quran is full of such verses in which man has been instructed to hold on to the unity and integrity and theses verses are vigorously supplemented by Ahadith as well. Hence shows how important it is for man as a vice-regent of Allah on this earth to hold unity and integrity. Of course, that does not mean there is no room for dissent but within the limit and that of scholarship which is in fact beauty of Islam. The difference of opinion allowed and appreciated is meant for the progress only not for the enmity purposes. Hence throughout the history it can be noted that all of the prophet’s preached to their nation to be united and do not fall prey to the divisions on any basis. To conclude it can be said in order to be successful in both in this world and life hereafter one has to hold to the teachings of Quran and Sunnah about the unity and integrity and has to refrain from all kinds of divisions which are prohibited by both.
Environmental Sustainability through Pro Environmental Behaviors in the light of Prophetic Guidance
Constantly, humans interact with their environment that always has great influence on them to smaller or greater extent. So the human behaviours (especially related with environment) can be called environmental behaviours. With the passage of time, due to malpractices of human in ecosystems, biosphere and climate, scholars in general and professionals in particular have tried to focus on such environmental behaviour related to, pollution, waste production, raw materials, and usage of energy. Due to improper guidance and socialization of individual, most of the people do not realize the consequences of their behaviour and their impact on environment– e.g. plucking flowers or smoking. Being based on the environmental science, most of the cases can be judged according to their impact and can be attributed to the friendly or unfriendly conduct. Pro environmental behaviour (PEBs) is a behaviour which consciously finds to capitalize on positive impact of individual’s action on nature and construct a healthy world which means that the major purpose of pro environmental behaviour is to minimize the negative impact of individual activities. It is important to understand the factors promoting the environmental protection behaviours. The factors underlying environmental behaviour have generally been found from different theoretical perspectives; culture, social norms and ethics of society and religious inclination etc. Islam, a divine religion provides complete code of life and offers its guidance for every sphere of life which includes the environmental protective behaviour. Ḥadīth being the explicit part of Islamic teaching determines the protective environmental behaviours, its principles and precautions and discussed them in detail but this guidance was not compiled in a single framework. Some of these guidelines include usage of water resources; eradicate pollution, purity of food, etc. The literature related to these aspects will be employed in this research study to analyze the guidelines provided by Prophet Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) for pro environmental behaviour that can be derived from Usūl e- Sitta-the basic six collections of the sayings of Prophet Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم).The emphasis of research is on protective behaviour only which on one hand helps in developing an environmental consciousness and provides the solutions of the environmental problems on the other.
The Approach of Imam Shah Wali-ul-Ullah in Calling to God (An Objective Study)
After the establishment of the Islamic state in the Indian subcontinent, Muslim rulers played a great role in spreading Islamic culture, which led to the emergence of a new and unique civilization in world history. This region was very prosperous and developed in terms of trade, industry and economy to the extent that it was called golden bird. Europe at that time was passing through a period of poverty and social misery, and European society at the same time was also suffering from various types of crisis. When they heard about the Indian continent and its development, they suddenly started moving towards India for trade and for their own nefarious purposes.

A Jurisprudential Review of the Rules of Reluctance in Apostasy
Islam is not the name of few rituals rather it is a complete code of life. Being a Muslim after humanity is great blessing and entering to it is great hatchment of everyone. Breaking the siege of Islam after accepting it and deviating from its miles disobedience, rebellion and apostasy. Due to the riot of the ruler of this world, the slaves are punished, in the same way, whoever rebels against the Almighty will be punished in this and hereafter. Islam does not believe in punishing its servant in any case rather, he is punished if he deviates from Islam by his own will and consent and in a situation where his consent is lost, which is a state of coercion, then the Shari'ah gives him leave in which he can be forgiven. Coercion is one of the most important issues from which man is always involved and especially in the present era, the need for it is felt even more. In Islamic jurisprudence, Coercion is very broad, but this article will only present a research review of its effects on apostasy.

Exploring the Concept of Hiba (Gift) in Islamic Law: A Study of Gift Giving during Marz-ul-Mout (Death Illness) and Its Legal Implications in Pakistan
This study delves into the concept of Hiba (Gift) as rooted in Islamic law, which centers on the act of gift-giving.

Siraiki language has more then one thousand years old written literary heritage. This is rich in creative literature. Every type of old and modern specie is present in this. Siraiki language has the treasure of knowledge in creative and folk literature which encompasses centuries. This treasure of knowledge is transferred from person to person through oral tradition, from one generation to other generation. Folk stories are part of folk tradition. Folk stories told in any language, present not only nations’ life style, but also indicates the traditions of the nations. Siraiki folk stories also reflect the life style, religious interests, beliefs, superstition and rituals of its speakers. Despite being part of the oral tradition, their chests are full of material that we are forced to protect. These folks are very close to life, and the lessons of wisdom are taught by actions not by words. Siraiki society is the oldest human society of this region. Every society gives the importance to its ideology and believes. Folk stories are the part of oral traditions, in these stories there is a clear expression of the beliefs of ancient time. However, majority of this society is Muslim right now. Islam has five basic pillars, no one can become a Muslim without believing in them. In case of being Muslim, it is obligatory to fulfill these duties. The first pillar is “Shahada” which is to testify of that there is no God except Allah, and Muhammad (PBUH) is the last Prophet of Allah, the second is to be perpetual to Salah, third to pay Zakat, fourth is to keep Fasting during month of Ramzan and fifth is to go for the Hajj in case of having sufficient money. In this the first one is belief whereas other are the worships (Ibadah). This essay is not about Siraiki folk stories but about the implementation of its Islamic believes. In these stories we have to see how they have the faith on these believes, and what they do to fulfill other four duties.

The tafseer, mafateeh ul ghaib, of Imam Fakhr Ud Din Al Razi (544-606ah) is one of the selected tafaaseer in the world all over, which has been enjoying an international repute for quite long period. This tafseer is known as the masterpiece of uloom e islamia. In this article the tafseer has been highlighted in the problems of mutashabihaat (that which is not known by anyone except allah).

Afterward some people started the explanation and the ummah went astray. Therefore the religious scholars have given comprehensive explanation in their tafaseers. Imam al razi has given intellectuals and logical arguments in his tafseer at different places about this issue and tried his level best to make it understandable to reason and intellect. The strayed and unfounded ideas have been addressed effectively. This dissertation reflects the rational arguments of imam al razi supported by quran, hadith and other relevant materials.
A critical study of “Muhammad and his Power” by “P De Lacy Johnstone”
The objective of this article is to draw the general public's notice to P De Lacy Johnstone’s book "Muhammad and His Power." He addressed a number of criticisms leveled towards Muhammad (PBUH). A specific school of thought is preaching this enmity toward Islam under the misleading appearance of hypocrisy, alluding to the well-being and benefit of the people. They are executing their annoying work in a cryptic, covert, and crafty manner, since they are mistaken by the public for educated and modern religious experts with the expertise and solutions to the age's issues. This article analyses Johnstone’s (1901) allegations against the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The focus is to answer main three allegations he has put on the Holy Prophet (PBUH) from the perspective of the Holy Quran and Sunnah. In these allegations, Johnston states that during the first ten years the Prophet Muhammad did not oppose “Kufar and Shirk”; an indication of likeness towards evil. Secondly, the Prophet married Hazrat Khadija (RA) without the consent of her father. Thirdly, he (PBUH) is not the founder of Islam rather it is a distorted form of Christianity and Judaism. These allegations have been concocted mere on heresy or citing inauthentic sources. This article refutes these allegations using authentic sources of the time and also excerpts from the Holy Quran and the Sunnah. This awful tumult could not penetrate the brains of ordinary people because they are unaware of Muhammd's Seera. It is thanks to the savants of Islam's ceaseless and unrelenting battles and strives that this horrible tumult could not reach the minds of ordinary people. The qualitative analysis of anti-Islamic actions is done using the subject-focused research approach.
