The modern world has turned multicultural and the socio-political changes have created a new code of conduct at the global level. Multireligion societies are getting developed. Now the nature of modern politics creates new questions. It has been said that Muslim countries have also to choose a new democratic system of politics in which it is not inevitable now to appoint only Muslim rulers in Muslim states. Traditional and liberal narratives have got into the clash in Muslim countries in this regard. This study deals with the logic of both above-said categories of thinkers. The shreds of evidence from the Quran and Hadith, which prohibit the appointment of non-Muslim in Muslim countries, are presented first along with the logics of Muslim scholars who take them into consideration. The later liberal narrative has been explained followed by ending remarks through conclusion.
The document discusses different types of non-Muslim religious celebrations and the ruling on Muslims participating in them or imitating them. It defines imitation as resembling another in appearance, characteristics or attributes. The main points are:
1) Imitating non-Muslims is forbidden as it contradicts distancing oneself from disbelief and being proud of Islam.
2) Specific forms of imitating non-Muslim festivals discussed include joining in their celebrations, bringing their festivals to Muslim countries, and participating in events originated from pagan rituals like the Olympics.
3) Adopting invented non-Muslim celebrations and holidays is forbidden if they have religious origins or connections to paganism.

The document discusses recent events in Gaza between Hamas and Jund Ansar Allah and whether the actions of Hamas warrant declaring them disbelievers (takfir). It analyzes the Islamic legal concept of replacing divine law with man-made law and determines that while Hamas has ruled against shariah at times, they have not instituted an organized alternative legal system, so their actions do not meet the standard for takfir according to the Quran and hadith. The document urges caution and relying on Islamic evidence rather than emotions when making judgments about declaring takfir.
Matters Which Nullify One's Islaam [Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn Baaz]Zaffer Khan
1) The document discusses matters that nullify one's Islam, such as shirk (polytheism), not considering non-Muslims as disbelievers, believing in other religions besides Islam, and abandoning Islamic teachings and rulings.
2) It warns against the concept of "interfaith" which aims to equate Islam with other religions and destroy clear differences. Participating in interfaith activities is forbidden.
3) Building religious structures of other faiths alongside mosques is also prohibited as it implies acceptance of other religions as means to worship God, contrary to core Islamic beliefs.

There is no inherent conflict between Islamic teachings and established scientific facts. While some may perceive apparent disagreements in areas such as evolution, cosmology or medicine, Islamic scholars have resolved such issues using several approaches:
1. Reconciling verses with established science using textual analysis and historical context. For example, Quranic verses on creation refer to God as initiator, not timeframes.
2. Distinguishing between religious truths and scientific facts. Religion addresses spiritual guidance not scientific minutiae.
3. Considering the continuous progress of science. Earlier interpretations may require revisiting in light of new evidence. Islam encourages seeking knowledge at all times.
As a teacher of Islamic studies, I would emphasize
1. The document discusses whether Muslims are permitted to participate in voting or elections in democratic systems. It argues that democracy is incompatible with Islam as it allows man-made laws to override Allah's laws.
2. It provides several Quranic verses that establish Allah as the sole authority for legislation and that following any laws other than His is a form of shirk (polytheism).
3. It asserts that engaging in the political process of democratic countries, where laws may be passed that contradict Islam, would constitute mocking Allah and his religion. The document strongly advises Muslims not to participate in voting or support secular political leaders.
Religious Tolerance from Islamic Perspective: An Analytical Studyinventionjournals
This document discusses religious tolerance from an Islamic perspective. It begins by defining tolerance and explaining its importance in Islam. While Islam is the final revelation, tolerance does not mean abandoning convictions; it means respecting others' right to their beliefs. The Quran and hadith show Islam emphasizes equality, justice, and freedom of belief. Non-Muslims living in Islamic states, such as dhimmis, enjoyed full rights in exchange for loyalty and tax. The Prophet modeled tolerance by respecting other religions' laws and protecting all citizens from oppression. Conflicts were managed through respect and protection of rights for all.
The document discusses hudud offenses in Islam and their application in Malaysia. It defines the 7 categories of hudud offenses according to Islam which include theft, robbery, zina, qadhf, drinking intoxicants, apostasy, and rebellion. It then examines laws related to hudud offenses in the Malaysian states of Kelantan and Terengganu, including details on punishments for specific offenses like amputation for theft and stoning for married persons committing zina. The document also discusses debates around implementing hudud laws in Malaysia and rebuttals to criticisms of certain provisions.
The document discusses the importance of obeying lawful authority according to Islamic principles. It cites Quranic verses and hadith that emphasize obeying Allah, the Prophet, and those in positions of authority. However, obedience is not required if commanded to do something sinful. The document provides historical examples from the Prophet's life and guidelines from scholars on addressing disagreements with or flaws in leadership without causing disruption. It stresses continuing obedience while working for peaceful internal reform through approved channels.

Mut'ah refers to temporary marriages practiced in Shia Islam. The document discusses how mut'ah is criticized by Sunni Muslims as it allows men to use women as sexual outlets and oppresses women. While mut'ah was permitted temporarily early in Islam, mainstream Islamic scholarship agrees it was later prohibited. However, Shia scholars argue it was only banned by Umar and not Muhammad. The document analyzes primary Shia texts and concludes mut'ah promotes debauchery rather than chastity and using women as commercial objects rather than upholding their rights and dignity as required by Islam.

The document discusses the importance of remembering the sacrifices of warriors like soldiers and police for the peace and safety of the country. It emphasizes the need to continue preparing for security threats from both external enemies and internal influences. This includes improving security, the economy, education, religion, and social conditions. Muslims are advised to be willing to sacrifice for their country as warriors in the past have done, and to always be ready to respond to threats through designated plans and movements, to ensure the country remains peaceful, prosperous, and blessed.
1) Mut'ah refers to a temporary marriage contract practiced by Shi'ah Muslims. It involves marrying a woman for a fixed, limited period of time in exchange for compensation.
2) Shi'ahs believe Mut'ah is sanctioned by the Quran and was practiced during the Prophet's time, but Sunnis argue it was later prohibited.
3) Historians say Mut'ah originated as a pre-Islamic practice where travelers could marry local women temporarily. It was allowed briefly early in Islam but later texts and traditions indicate the Prophet completely prohibited it.
This document discusses the importance of trustworthiness in Islam. It defines trustworthiness as honesty in relations, dealings, business, and actions. It cites verses from the Quran and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad emphasizing the importance of keeping trusts and being trustworthy. The document outlines the views of classical Islamic authorities on trustworthiness and discusses the characteristics of an untrustworthy person according to the Prophet.
"I Have Been Ordered to Fight"- HadithMaha Youssuf
My presentation submitted to Dr. Gharib on the Hadith "I Have Been Ordered to Fight"-- Also shedding light on the notion of Jihad between widespread misconception and truthful meaning as presented in the Hadith.
This document seeks to address and dispel several common misconceptions about Islam, including that it tolerates killing innocents, that Muslims are inherently terrorists, that jihad means holy war, and that Islam spread by the sword. It argues that the Quran unambiguously prohibits killing innocents and that terrorists who do so commit a grave sin. It explains the true meaning of jihad as struggle, including fighting oppression. It also notes Islam's judicial system only mandates retaliation with strict conditions and forgiveness is better. The document concludes that Islam could not have spread by force, as the Quran states there is no compulsion in religion.
The document introduces Islam by summarizing a dialogue between the Prophet Muhammad and Gabriel. Gabriel asks Muhammad to define Islam, which Muhammad does in three parts - declaring belief in God and Muhammad as his prophet, performing rituals like prayer and fasting, and having true faith in God and the afterlife. The document aims to explain the true bases and principles of Islam to counter false accusations and help readers understand Islam.

Government or individual has any right to declare whether a person is muslim ...muzaffertahir9
Based on the Holy Quran and the tradition of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), no Government or individual has any right to declare whether a person is Muslim or not. Only Allah can judge it, according to the Holy Quran. It is a universally agreed upon principle that before determining whether an individual or a group belongs to a particular species, an all-encompassing and exclusive definition of such a species is made, which acts as a touch-stone. As long as such a definition exists, it becomes quite easy to decide whether or not any particular individual or group may be counted as a member of that species
Sharia is the moral and religious law of Islam based on the Quran and teachings of Muhammad. It covers both criminal and civil aspects of law, including crimes like theft, highway robbery, adultery, false accusations, drinking, and apostasy. These crimes fall under strict Had punishments if strong evidence exists, such as amputation for theft and stoning for adultery. Lesser crimes and sins are punished under the discretionary Tazir system. The goal of Islamic criminal law is to deter crimes while upholding principles of justice, mercy, and wisdom.
Islam is a religion for all human everywhere and every timeAyman Refaat
Islam is meant for all people everywhere and throughout time, not just for certain groups or places. The document discusses three reasons why Muslims should follow Islam itself and not just other Muslims. First, Islam as transmitted by God and the Prophet Muhammad is perfect, while Muslims as human beings are imperfect. Second, after the Prophet's death Muslims divided into sects and schools of thought. Third, Islamic civilization has been stagnant for eight centuries, but Islam encourages independent reasoning and thinking rather than blindly following traditions.
This document provides an introduction and table of contents to a book critiquing Sufism. It summarizes that Sufism developed from mixing Islamic teachings with Greek, Manichean, Hindu, and other philosophies. It incorporated pantheism and the idea that God and humans are one essence. The document critiques Sufi mystic Ibn Arabi for claiming prophetic revelations and communing with spirits, contradicting Islamic beliefs. It presents the argument that Sufism introduced innovations not from the Quran or Sunnah.

This document discusses the concept of riyaa, which is defined as performing acts of worship to gain praise or admiration from others rather than to please Allah alone. It is considered a form of hidden shirk or polytheism. The document outlines hadith that warn of riyaa being a serious sin and the primary cause as weakness in faith. It also identifies three symptoms of riyaa: love of praise from others, fear of criticism from others, and greed for what others possess. Lastly, it provides seven ways to avoid falling into riyaa, such as increasing religious knowledge, making dua to seek refuge from shirk, reflecting on heaven and hell, and accompanying pious people.
The document defines Shar'u Man Qablana as the body of rules ordained by Allah for previous nations through revelation to prophets. A key Muslim belief is that Allah revealed scriptures to prophets before Muhammad, including the Torah, Gospel, Psalms and Scrolls. Some laws from the Torah are mentioned, such as worshipping Allah alone and prohibitions against murder and adultery. The document discusses different views on whether laws of previous scriptures still apply to Muslims, concluding the majority view is that Islam only abrogated rules disagreeable to its teachings, so quoted rulings without abrogation are part of Islamic law.
This document discusses the importance of worshipping Allah and being a true believer. It provides Bilal ibn Rabah as an example of a worshipper who loved Allah and the Prophet Muhammad above all else. It outlines attributes that true believers should seek to embody, including loving Allah and the Prophet above all, being honest, enjoining good and forbidding evil, weeping and repenting to Allah, and worshipping Allah alone as he commanded. The document stresses that the purpose of humanity's creation is to worship Allah alone.
This document discusses and addresses several common misconceptions about Islam. It explains that the hijab is mentioned first for men in the Quran and is about modesty, not degradation of women. It argues that Western society falsely claims to uplift women but actually exploits them. Hijab prevents molestation and rape. It also addresses why prophethood is only for men according to God's law, why some Muslims are wrongly labeled as terrorists, and the purpose of allowing limited polygyny in Islam to protect women.
The document is a lesson from Shaykh Allaamah Ahmad Ibn Yahya An Najmee explaining Imaam Al-Barbahaari's Sharh us Sunnah. It discusses how Islam is synonymous with following the Sunnah, and deviation from the Sunnah is a form of deviation from Islam. It also explains that clinging to the Jamaa'ah (main body of Muslims) is part of the Sunnah, and rebellion against Muslim leadership is forbidden. It provides evidence from Quranic verses and hadiths to support this.
This document discusses the importance of implementing Allah's governance on Earth through Islamic law (Sharia). It notes that nations before who oppressed were destroyed, and Muslims were made rulers to establish the Sharia. It argues the Ummah has suffered trauma from losing the Sharia. The author aims to clarify the relationship between humanity and Sharia, and why leaving Sharia leads to societal disintegration. It seeks to discuss debates around Sharia and democracy, and define tawhid al-hakimiyyah or Allah's authority as the sole legislator. The introduction thanks scholars who upheld tawhid and calls readers to support the Sharia through word and action.
This document provides an introduction to a larger work on establishing Allah's governance on Earth. It begins by thanking scholars who have supported the concept of haakimiyyah (Allah's authority). It then introduces the author and editor of the work and their credentials. The introduction explains that the work will discuss issues like the state of the world without sharia law, the relationship between sharia and humanity, and debates around implementing sharia.

The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.
This Tafsir is particularly suitable for Muslims with no direct access to the Arabic original.
1) The document outlines Islamic principles that reject secularism, nationalism, democracy and man-made laws. It argues Muslims should only have one identity through Islam and should reject terms like "extremist" used by the British government.
2) It states Muslims must not join non-Muslim forces like the British police or army. They can only abide by sharia law and must reject secularism, democracy, celebrating non-Islamic holidays, and having non-Muslim friends.
3) The document warns Muslims against the UK government's Prevent strategy and urges them to call for implementing sharia wherever they live and to enjoin good and forbid evil according to Islamic teachings.
This document is the preface to a book discussing the ruling on having allegiance to polytheists. It emphasizes that Allah created mankind solely for the purpose of worshipping Him alone without any partners. It argues that true worship requires rejecting all false gods and legislations. The preface criticizes those who do not declare enemies of Allah and his religion as disbelievers due to their actions, as long as they claim to love Islam. The rest of the book aims to discuss the obligation of hostility against disbelievers according to the methodology of the Salaf.

It argues extremists violate these by fighting without authority, killing unlawfully, and distorting the true message of Islam.
The document outlines 10 pillars that form the basic covenant of the Muslim Brotherhood: understanding, sincerity, action, jihad, sacrifice, obedience, perseverance, resoluteness, brotherhood, and trust. It provides explanations for each pillar, with an emphasis on understanding Islam based on 20 principles, dedicating actions solely for Allah's pleasure, and engaging in jihad through both spiritual and physical struggle. Members are called to reform themselves, their families, society, liberate Muslim lands, and spread Islam globally through perseverance and sacrifice.
This chapter discusses different types of Muslim rulers and whether they should be considered Muslims or not. It outlines four categories of rulers: 1) Just Muslim rulers, 2) Oppressive Muslim rulers, 3) Heretical Muslim rulers, and 4) Non-Muslim rulers. It then examines hadith and scholarly opinions on each type. The chapter argues that a ruler who does not implement sharia law fully and replaces it with secular law should be considered a non-Muslim, as this constitutes shirk (polytheism) by attempting to share legislation with Allah. A ruler who disobeys sharia occasionally but maintains its authority remains a Muslim, albeit a sinful one.
The document discusses different scholarly opinions on whether Islam permits a Muslim man to marry a Jewish or Christian woman. The first opinion presented is that some scholars, including Ibn Umar, absolutely forbid such marriages. Their evidence includes verses indicating Muslims should not befriend or be subject to non-believers, as marriage could foster close ties. A second opinion allows such marriages but considers it distasteful. The third and most lenient view permits marriage to Jewish/Christian women without reservation. The document aims to analyze the scriptural evidence and arguments used by each position.

This document outlines rules for interacting with non-Muslims according to Islamic jurisprudence. It begins by defining non-Muslims and dividing them into two main types: those who are openly non-Muslim and those who outwardly appear Muslim but conceal disbelief. It then discusses creedal rulings pertaining to the afterlife and rules of this world, including the obligation to disavow non-Muslims. Finally, it outlines fiqh rulings related to acts of worship, cleanliness, prayer, and the permissibility of using certain non-Muslim utensils. The overall message is to maintain religious boundaries while allowing basic interactions.
This document discusses several topics related to women in Islam:
1. It explains that describing women as a "fitna" or trial refers to testing men's obedience to God, not an insult.
2. It refutes claims that Islam views women as devils, noting hadith describe both genders as capable of evil.
3. It provides examples from the Quran and hadith showing women's voices are not considered private in Islam.
4. It explains the hadith about Eve being created from Adam's rib refers to their close relationship, not implying women are inferior.
5. It emphasizes Islam teaches women should be treated with kindness.

Study on the Impact of FOCUS-PDCA Management Model on the Disinfection Qualit...MehranMouzam
To analyze the impact of FOCUS-PDCA management model on the disinfection quality of flexible endoscopes. Method: A study was conducted on 128 flexible endoscopes in our hospital. According to different management plans, flexible endoscopes were divided into a control group (conventional management model) and an experimental group (FOCUS-PDCA management model). The flexible endoscopes evaluated in both control group and the experimental group were 64 each. The ATP values, management quality, and bacterial colony exceeding standards were observed in two groups. Results: Before management, there was no significant difference in ATP values between the two groups, with P>0.05; after management, compared with the control group (106.25 ± 6.812), the ATP value in the experimental group was lower, with P<0.05. The scores of disinfection standards (4.39 ± 0.49), cleaning standards (4.22 ± 0.45), management systems (4.13 ± 0.34), and management assessment (4.97 ± 0.25) in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (3.89 ± 0.31, 3.20 ± 0.41, 3.12 ± 0.13, 3.95 ± 0.21), with P<0.05. In the experimental group, the bacterial colony exceeding standard rate of gastroscopy was 3.13%, bacterial colony exceeding standard rate of colonoscopy was 0.00%, bacterial colony exceeding standard rate of bronchoscopy was 1.56%, and the total bacterial colony exceeding standard rate of total colonies was 6.25%, which were significantly lower than the control group's 12.50%, 7.81%, 12.50%, and 32.81%, respectively with P<0.05. Conclusion: The FOCUS-PDCA management model is more conducive to reducing the ATP values of flexible endoscopes, improving the disinfection qualification rate, and improving management quality. This model is worthy of further promotion.
Reduced Radiation Exposure in Dual-Energy Computed Tomography of the Chest: ...MehranMouzam
ABSTRACT:
Objective: This study purports to answer the question: Does a dual-energy CT scan of the chest using reduced radiation result in images of equal or better quality compared to those produced by the gold standard of care?
Methods: With the agreement of the Ethical Review Committee and written informed consent from 32 patients, who received dual-energy CT (DECT) scan of the chest in a dual-source scanner, a second set of images was taken at a reduced radiation dose. On virtual monochromatic images at 40 and 60 keV, three thoracic radiologists evaluated image quality, normal thoracic structures, and pulmonary and mediastinal aberrations. Students analyzed the data using analysis of variance, Kappa statistics, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.
Results: No irregularities in the scans were missed in the virtual monochrome photographs of all patients at a lower radiation dose, and the images were found to be of sufficient quality. At 40 and 60 keV, standard-of-care pictures produced equal contrast enhancement and lesion detection. Observers were entirely consistent with one another. Among other characteristics, reduced-dose DECT had a CTDIvol of 3.0 ±0.6 mGy, and a size specified dose estimate (SSDE) of 4.0 ±0.6 mGy, a dose-length product (DLP) of 107 ±30 mgy.cm, and an effective dose (ED) of 1.15 ±0.4 mSv.
Conclusion: Dual-energy computed tomography of the chest allows for the administration of lower radiation doses (CTDIvol <3 mGy).
The Evolving Nature of Mother-Representations Across the Waves of FeminismMehranMouzam
Whether they’ve occupied the foreground or the background of literary works, mothers as primary subjects or as their shadows - have forever been weaved into the vital, in stories told either about them and/or, about their children. Motherhood and the matrifocal narrative, on the whole, have undergone various conceptual reconstructions that have been both a direct and indirect result of the different waves of feminism across the globe. Feminist concerns over ideas of motherhood and their related representations in literary texts, popular culture, and media, etc. have sought to understand the dichotomy between biological ideas of being a mother and its social and cultural constructions, which essentially shape the gendered expectations of mothers, especially because such socio-cultural constructions carry the cis-gendered heteronormative expectation of what it necessarily means to be a ‘socially accepted’ mother. The ''maternal'' representations in literature and other artistic mediums have evolved to accommodate the ever-changing, dynamism that the term ''mother'' brings forth. The mother figure is no longer only nurturing, ever-suffering and sappy but also loud, angry, and articulate.
Investigating the Challenges Faced by Iraqi Secondary School Students in Engl...MehranMouzam
The aim of the current study is to uncover the challenges encountering Iraqi students in the secondary school classrooms. Five students in a public secondary school located in Misan province participate in this investigational study. The study explores the challenges the students face in the learning process; particularly in the acquisition of oral proficiency. However, oral proficiency, even as used by the teacher, hardly ever functions as a means for students to acquire knowledge and explore new ideas. This paper attempts to identify the challenges or problems that students encounter in teaching English oral proficiency.
Data collection methods used in this study include students’ interviews and classroom observations. After collecting information and taking notes on the students’ oral proficiency. Data collected demonstrates that the acquisition of the students’ oral proficiency is associated with several challenges and problems that inhibit their pursuit to interact and express themselves in real-life situations. In sum, the study concludes that when learning English oral proficiency, several challenges prevent the students’ oral performance or progress such as improperly trained teacher, government policy, assessment systems, exposure to English, and less use of audio-visual aids etc.
RIGHT TO DIE: A STUDY OF DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONSMehranMouzam
1. INTRODUCTIONThe right to die is the concept based on the opinion that a human being is entitled to end their life.
Euthanasia, or mercy killing, means the deliberate killing of a patient who is terminally ill and/or
in severe and chronic pain. The word ‘Euthanasia’ is a derivative from the Greek words ‘eu’ and
‘thanotos’ which literally mean “good death”.1 The death of a terminally ill patient is accelerated
through active or passive means in order to relieve such patient of pain or suffering. However, the
issue of euthanasia is not as simple as the literal translation of the term. The issue is complex and
involves several moral, ethical, societal and economic aspects.2 Those who are in favor of
euthanasia argue on the right to self-determination and futility of prolonging a life without meaning
and dignity and those who are against the practice believe that emphasizes must be given to
palliative care, and that legalizing euthanasia would be violate of the principle of sanctity of life.3
It is because of this that most of the States allow only passive euthanasia and to check the misuse
enacted laws on the subject.
A study on urdu speakers’ use of english stress patterns phonological variationMehranMouzam
The aim of this research paper is to study Urdu Speakers’ use of English Stress Patterns and their phonological variation from native speakers of Pakistani EFL learners. The stress patterns of English language are affected by the influence of L1Urdu speakers’ perception in Pakistan which ultimately influences English pronunciation and sometimes its meanings as well. It also results difficulties faced by learners in our class rooms. Based on phonological differences between two languages, the researchers assume that there is a wide discrepancy in stress patterns among those spoken and used by native speakers and read and perceived by Pakistani students in our classrooms using English as second language. It carries a tangible impact of Urdu stress pattern with almost equal stress on all the syllables which is quite problematic both for teachers and learners of English whether it is as Second Language Learning or as Foreign Language Learning. To find out concrete results quantitative analysis of stress patterns was made on the selected sample taking from public sector university students. Findings of the research provide a useful pedagogical insight into the perspective of English language teaching with particular emphasis on spoken proficiency of English among students whose L1 is Urdu. The findings of the research suggest invariably the wrong placement of lexical stress in English words in Pakistan by Urdu speakers who have Urdu as L1 because they either place the stress on the syllable preceding the actual syllable or following it. Finally, it is suggested to follow the native speakers tone as a final remedy.
Forensic discourse analysis of legal and courtroom interaction dr arshad aliMehranMouzam
The primary objective of this study is to look into the complexities and complications of legal discourse and how they manifest themselves in the courtroom. The research looks at the dynamics in a courtroom and the jury room in the film 12 Angry Men. The study aims to show how language acts as a source of agency and power in a legal setting, as well as to look into how speakers cooperate in a legal setting. The researcher devised a framework based on Heffer's (2013) legal and forensic discourse model as well as Grice's (1975) Cooperative Principle and its maxims. The data for the study comes from the film 12 Angry Men, which is based on a true story. Forensic discourse analysis was used to analyse the data. This method analyses the utterances and other features present in the legal discourse, as well as its implications. The main findings of the study show that the judge's voice is projected in the court with a significant amount of dominance. Similarly, there is a lack of direct communication that affects the trial by making it difficult for the jury to fully comprehend the facts of the case. Furthermore, the agency is frequently removed from the jury, resulting in a misunderstanding of the case. The majority of the jury members are bored and sleepy, while others have an unhealthy fondness for the prosecution. The final finding concerns the jury members' power play in the jury trial, as evidenced by the jury members' failure to project their voices effectively, and their lack of cooperation. The forensic discourse analysis reveals that all of the maxims were repeatedly violated by the jury members. The most frequently flouted maxims, however, were those of quantity and relevance. This demonstrates how the desire for authority and the lack of agency can have far-reaching implications for the final decision.
IMPACT OF PATERNALISTIC LEADERSHIP ON EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT AND INNOVATIVE WOR...MehranMouzam
1. Description of Research Work
Innovation is a key concern of HR now a days. It is the key requirement for organizational success (Akram,
Lei, Haider, & Hussain, 2018). It gives new ways to do work, to overcome situations, to solve problems
and to make decisions. Dedahanov et al. (2019) claims that PLB and EE promotes innovative work
behaviour of employees. This positive impact can be enhanced by I-deals that are now trending in
manipulating job behaviours of employees. Recent studies conducted by Microsoft Japan on a four-day
working week claims that, not only the employees became happier and satisfied, they became productive
at workplace. These shortened working weeks and flexibility made employees more efficient and
productive at workplace (Paul, 2019). Leadership styles are now playing major roles in organizations and
are proved to be crucial factors for their success. PLB is a practical approach to get maximum out of
employees. According to Hornung, Rouseau, Glaser, Angerer, and Weigh (2011), loyalty and commitment
of employees are major outcomes of PLB. When employees are committed at workplace, their performance
boost ups which ultimately effects the organizational performance positively. This study is conducted to
observe and to describe the role of PLB on employee’s commitment level and how I-deals can mediate this
relationship in pharmaceutical sector. According to PPMA (2017), Pakistan’s pharmaceutical industry is
progressive, vibrant and future oriented. It consists of more than 700 manufacturing units, having 25-
multinational pharmaceutical units working in country. 70% of country’s demand of finished medicines is
been met by this sector and have shown a remarkable growth over last ten years and has export turnover of
more than 12 million and accounts for less than one percent of country’s GDP. To observe this productive
phenomenon of PLB, I-deals, EE, IWB and commitment in such a fast-growing sector can help to develop
positive outcomes for them.

Abstract
The modern world has turned multicultural and the socio-political changes have
created a new code of conduct at the global level. Multireligion societies are getting
developed. Now the nature of modern politics creates new questions. It has been said
that Muslim countries have also to choose a new democratic system of politics in
which it is not inevitable now to appoint only Muslim rulers in Muslim states.
Traditional and liberal narratives have got into the clash in Muslim countries in this
regard. This study deals with the logic of both above-said categories of thinkers. The
shreds of evidence from the Quran and Hadith, which prohibit the appointment of
non-Muslim in Muslim countries, are presented first along with the logics of Muslim
scholars who take them into consideration. The later liberal narrative has been
explained followed by ending remarks through conclusion.
Key Words: Islam, Politics, Ruler, Khalifa, President
Introduction
At the time of the formation of Pakistan, the question before the Muslims was what
would be the status of non-Muslims in the formation of the governmental structure of
an independent and sovereign state. In view of its importance, the leading scholars of
the subcontinent had replied that the Islamic state would be an ideological state in its
own way. Therefore, the running of its government could be entrusted to those who
2. 2
would believe in the Islamic way of life. Those who adopt a non-Islamic way of life
instead of believing in the Islamic way of life are in charge of the Islamic state
government. In this regard, the inhabitants of the Islamic state will be divided on the
basis of Muslims and non-Muslims, and distinctions will be made between the two in
specific matters. Thus, politically, Muslims and non-Muslims will have equal status.
(1) The main reason for this distinction is that non-Muslims living in an Islamic state
may be equal to or even superior to Muslims in terms of intelligence and
qualifications, but based on religious psychology, there is always the fear that they
[non-Muslims] will not be able to demonstrate sincerity and determination to improve
the intellectual discipline of Islam on the face of the earth. They cannot play an active
role in promotion and development. No person can be entrusted with the emirate or
leadership of an organization, movement, institution or state that is in conflict with its
beliefs and ideology. Thus, Muslim scholars have made it clear that a number of
conditions must be met for the appointment of a ruler of the Islamic state. In this
regard, Mawardi has emphasized that the ruler should not only be a Muslim, but also
that he should have expertise in Shariah and religious sciences and should have the
ability of ‘Ijtihad’. (2) However, they did not consider it necessary to have ijtihad
ability in the ruler like Al-Mawardi, but rather made his acquaintance with the Shariah
sciences quite credible. (3) Ibn Khaldun also discusses the conditions of the ruler of the
Islamic state, and he does not mention the assignment of this position to a non-
Muslim, which shows that according to him, the ruler of the Islamic state must also be
a Muslim. There are no two opinions in this regard. Imam Ibn Taymiyyah, in addition
to being a Muslim in the ruling party, has relaxed the conditions set by the
predecessors. His position is that future rulers do not meet the standard set by the
attributes of the rightly guided caliphs, so even if a weak ruler is available to meet this
standard (4), there is nothing wrong with swearing allegiance. However, Imam Ibn
Taymiyyah has not indicated any possibility of non-Muslim rule. (5) Apart from them,
the scholars who have declared being a Muslim as the first condition for the ruler of
the Islamic state including Imam Tabari, Imam Jasas, Allama Alusi, Imam Ibn Kathir,
Al-Mawardi, Al-Qaya Al-Harithi, Al-Jawini, Ibn Arabi, Imam Qurtubi, Imam
Zamahshari , Qazi Beizawi, Tabatabai, Imam Shokani, Hassan Al-Banna, Syed Qutb,
Hassan Ismail Al-Hudaibi, Syed Maududi, Abdul Wahan Al-Khalaf, Wahba Zakheli
and Taqi-ud-Din Nabhani. (6) Not appointing non-Muslims as rulers of Muslims is
also considered logical in the sense that non-Muslims are considered enemies of
3. 3
Muslims. Therefore, according to Zamahshari (1953), no one can make his enemy his
ruler. (7) The perpetrator of this act has in fact admitted that non-Muslims are
absolutely right in their religion. A person who does not consider a dibeliever [kaafir]
but agrees with his beliefs also becomes a kaafir. (8)
Arguments:
The position of these scholars is based on the following Qur'anic verses:
َِّ
اّلل انِم ا
ْسيالاف ا ِ
ِلاذ ْلاعْفاي ْناماو انيِنِمْٔوُمْلا ُِوند ْنِم ااءايِلْؤَا اينِرِف اَكْلا اونُنِمْٔوُمْلا ِذِخَّتاي ا
َل
ء ْ ا
ْ ِ
(
9
)
Do not befriend the disbelievers except the believers, and whoever does that is not
from Allah in anything.
In addition, the following eleven Qur'anic verses reject the appointment of a non-
Muslim ruler in a Muslim state:

Referring to the above verses, Imam Jasas writes:
شئی فی المسلم علی للکافر وَليۃ َل ان علی دَللۃ ونطائرها اَليۃ هذہ وفی "
"
.
(

This verse (Al-Imran: 28) and other similar verses indicate that the disbelievers
cannot be superior to the Muslim in anything.
Appointment of Non-Muslims to sub-posts:
Allama Mohammad Asad has found a way to take advantage of the capabilities of
non-Muslims in the Islamic state politically and administratively that they can be
assigned specific ministries because the minister is a trustee to the ruler and a
secretary. In that case, it would not be able to legislate or make policy, nor would it be
recognized as a priority. One of the benefits would be that the "discriminatory
attitude" of Muslims towards non-Muslims would be remedied. (20) Imam Jassas not
only misunderstands the choice of non-Muslims as rulers, but also says that it is not
permissible for Muslims to allow a non-Muslim to interfere in the affairs of Muslims,
even if he is a member of a non-Muslim family. No Muslim can include a non-
Muslim in the marriage of his children because of differences of religion. In this
regard, Ibn Arabi has also imposed a ban that non-Muslims cannot be given the
5. 5
leadership of the Muslim army. In this regard, they should be considered unreliable.
(21)
Ibn Katheer writes that choosing a non-Muslim ruler means that Muslims are ignored
or left behind as inferior. Anyone who goes so far as to fall in love with a non-Muslim
will have to suffer the consequences of this act. (22) No one is superior to other but
they are influential in Shariah teachings.(23)Maulana Ishaq Sandelvi and Maulana
Idrees Kandhalvi have also laid down the condition that the workers of the Majlis-e-
Shura should not only have intellectual and intellectual advancement but also their
practical role should be spotless and free from corruption. (24)
Justifiable thinkers:
Any system is formed in a specific cultural and social context. Democracy is
prevalent in most of the countries of the world in the present age. Democratic political
systems are based on philanthropy, so religion is given secondary status in modern
political systems. It has been established that the condition of being a Muslim should
be abolished in the appointment of a ruler in a Muslim state as in other states.
If non-Muslims are allowed to rule in Muslim states, it will increase the chances of
Muslims living in non-Muslim countries pursuing political interests as well.
Therefore, Muslims should consider appointing a ruler. I revise the traditional terms.
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim says that if the divine teachings are interpreted in such a way
that a particular group is discriminated against because of them, then no such law can
be called Islamic. (25)
Sudan's leading political and religious leader, Mahmoud Muhammad Taha, founded a
political party in Sudan in 1945 called the "Republican Brotherhood". Mahmoud
Muhammad Taha was one of the highest level secularists of his time. He was
executed by former Sudanese President Gafar Nemri on the grounds that he was an
apostate for his views.
Mahmoud Muhammad Taha is of the view that the verses of the Holy Quran should
be used as a beacon for Muslims to formulate their own political, social, religious and
family plan of life.
6. 6
This is because in the verses revealed in Makkah, the distinction of color, race, sex
and religion has been put aside and human equality has been taught.
Both the leading and the last of the Muslims, the scholars, ignoring this important
aspect, in order to strengthen their dominance over the non-Muslims, ignored the
Meccan part of the Qur'an and argued and testified from the verses revealed in the
Madani era. (26) This political approach is extremely detrimental to modern Muslims.
At present, this approach fails to meet the demands of democratic politics, so it is
necessary to change this style and mood. (27) Taha was arrested by the Sudanese
government in 1967 and charged with apostasy for propagating the tribe's ideas. The
court declared his ideas ineffective and released him. (28)
In 1985, Taha launched a campaign against the implementation of Sharia law in
Sudan, which led to his arrest and trial. He rejected the doctrine of the legal
supremacy of Sharia and refused to repent for propagating this doctrine. (29) In a four-
hour court hearing, Taha stood his ground, after which he was sentenced to death the
next day along with four of his followers. The charges against him included
opposition to the implementation of Islamic law, disruption of public security, revolt
against the government and revival of the banned political movement. (30) Abdullah
Ahmed Naeem, a Sudanese-American thinker, supports the same position. His
position or stand is that Muslims should form all their systems in the light of the
following verse:
َخ اَّنِإ ُاسَّنال اَهُّئَا اَي
ْتَٔا ِ َّاَّلل َدْنِع ْمُكَمَرْكَٔا َّنِإ واُفَارَعَتِل َلِئاَبَق َو ًابوُعُش ْمُكَانْلَعَج َو ىََْنُٔا َو ٍرَكَذ ْنِم ْمُكَانْقَل
يمِلَع َ َّاَّلل َّنِإ ْمُكاَق
يرِبَخ
)
31
(
O people! Surely, We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into
nations and tribes that you may know one another. Surely the most honorable of you
in the sight of Allah is the most pious of you. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-
Aware.
This verse transcends the boundaries of color, race, language and religion and paves
the way for praise and support for every human being. This verse creates an
environment for Muslims in which they can treat the followers of other religions in
the same way as they treat their fellow believers. Therefore, if a non-Muslim wants to
be the ruler of a Muslim country or a Muslim wants to be the ruler of a non-Muslim
state, both of them will have this right. (32) Abdullah Ahmad Naeem writes that at a
time when Muslim jurists were laying down the principles of Islamic law, no human
7. 7
rights movement was active in the world, but human rights movements began
centuries later. The conditions, events and requirements of that era were different
while today's conditions are before us with new requirements. (33) Human attitudes can
no longer be shaped on the basis of religion because basic human rights have been
established internationally. If political interaction based on religion is built in a state,
it would be tantamount to violating human rights. Muslims should reconsider their
stance in this regard and if they do not do so, not only will this stigma tarnish the
image of Muslims and Islam, but it could lead to many deadly wars in the modern
world. (34)
Indian Muslim engineer Asghar Ali, who is known for his liberal and secular
temperament and has won many government awards, also supports this position and
logic. His stand is that all government positions, including the presidency, should not
be given on the basis of color, race or religion, but on the basis of merit alone. Asghar
Ali writes that the job of the state is to establish law and order, so if this ability is
found in a non-Muslim more than in a Muslim, then this position should be given to
him. He spoke up for justice. That is why the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to
consider it a matter of pride to be born in his time. (35) Asghar Ali later narrated this
incident with reference to Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Tabataba ibn Taqtaqi's book "Al-
Fakhri fi Adab al-Sultaniyya wa al-Dawl al-Islamiyyah" that when Halagu Khan
captured Baghdad in 656 AH (1258 AH), he asked the scholars there, "Who is better,
a just non-Muslim ruler or a tyrant Muslim ruler? None of them could give a
satisfactory answer." When it was the turn of Razi-ud-Din Ali ibn Taus to answer, he
waved a piece of paper in the air on which the answer was written, "A just non-
Muslim ruler is more preferable than an oppressive Muslim ruler." He signed the
reply and declared Razi-ud-Din's reply as authentic. (36)
Egypt's leading liberal jurist and Supreme Court Judge Mohamed Saeed al-Shamawi
has also strongly supported the appointment of a non-Muslim ruler in a Muslim
country. Temporary rulings become ineffective with the passage of time. These
rulings were limited to the time of the Holy Prophet and the state he established in
Madinah. The Almighty had given important teachings to the Muslims on internal and
external affairs.
8. 8
So now the rules have changed. One of these changes is the appointment of a non-
Muslim ruler in a Muslim state. (37) Al-Ashmawi clarifies that the verses of the Qur'an
which deal with the prohibition of this work were only for the past and they were
related to certain events. Now that those events have become part of the past
consequently, we should extract good things from them. The significance and
usefulness of the coherent verses have also been lost. At this time, it is imperative for
Muslims to abide by the requirements of this covenant and to abide by the established
principles and rules of modern covenant democracy. (38)
Comparison the positions of the two classes:
The debate over the appointment of a ruler in any Muslim-majority state also raises
the question of whether the teachings of the Qur'an are eternal or whether some of
them are of a temporary and transient nature. The system of life provided is of a
permanent nature and its teachings cannot be completely deviated from till the Day of
Judgment. It seeks its total implementation without any distinction of time and place.
Or even if they agree on different positions and ideologies, Muslims still have a duty
to follow Islamic principles and law and reject non-Islamic views. On the basis of this
principle, a statement has been made by this class that since the Qur'an and the
Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) show that the rule
of the Muslim state can be given only to Muslims, non-Muslims It is not permissible
to hand over power to an Islamic country. According to the second category, some of
the commandments of the Qur'an are of a permanent nature, while many of them were
temporary and belonged only to the Prophetic period and the region of Arabia. These
include the appointment of a ruler. Therefore, the verses of the Qur'an and the
parables of the Sunnah of the prophet (PBUH) which forbid the rule of a non-Muslim
in a Muslim state are not applicable in the present age. There is need to follow the
established political system in this contemporary era. This system is democratic in
nature and in democracy every special and ordinary person is given the opportunity to
showcase their talents without any discrimination. Therefore, both Muslims and non-
Muslims can be appointed to administrative positions in every state of the world.
There should be no problem. Khalid Abu al-Fadl writes that insisting on a Muslim
ruler alone is a sign of arbitrariness and no rational justification can be given for it.
(39) Here the question arises as to whether there is any practical example behind this
9. 9
debate on the scientific and intellectual front. In this regard, Banu Abbas mentions Isa
bin Nasturus bin Sooris who served as a minister in the pig of the Fatimid ruler
Azizullah. (40) Apart from this, there is mention of appointment of non-Muslims to
government posts but there is no mention of ministry or emirate. In the present age,
many Muslim states have been ruled by non-Muslims and still exist.
Of the contemporary Muslim states, Nigeria has 76 percent Muslims, with Olusegun
Obasanjo, a Christian, as its president. Despite being a Christian, he has been elected
President of Nigeria three times (1976 to 1979, 1999 to 2004, 2004 to 2007). Like
Nigeria, Senegal has a Muslim population of 91%. Leopold Sedar Senghor, a
Catholic, held the presidency from 1980 to 1988. The strangest situation is in
Lebanon, where Muslims make up 75 percent of the population and has been ruled by
Christian presidents since 1947. The reason is that Lebanon signed the "Pact of the
Nation." The clause also stipulates that the Lebanese president must be a Maronite
Christian, the prime minister a Sunni, the speaker of parliament a Shiite, the defense
minister a Druze or ruler (a sect of Syrian-born Ismaili Shiites) and the foreign
minister a Greek Orthodox. (41) This treaty is still in force in Lebanon.
Tunisian law makes it clear that "the president is the head of state. His religion is
Islam." (42)
According to Algerian law, "a candidate must be a Muslim to be eligible to become
president of the country." (43)
Syrian law stipulates that "the law of the country's president must be Islam." (44)
Jordanian law also states that "no one shall ascend the throne unless he is a Muslim."
(45)
The law of the beloved homeland of Pakistan also stipulates the same condition that
"no person shall be eligible for presidential election unless he is a Muslim". (46)
Muslim countries that oppose the election of a non-Muslim president follow the
teachings of Sunni classical literature that relate to the Khilafah system. In the
Khilafah, the head of state not only carries out worldly affairs. He is also the head of
religious affairs. In Islamic political terminology, he is called the guardian of religion
and the politics of the world. Therefore, the power he possesses is related to religious
and worldly affairs. The head of state protects the Islamic region from enemy attacks.
(47) Religiously, he is the imam of prayers, the leader of Hajj (Amir al-Hajj), preaches
Friday and Eid sermons in mosques. The people of the state trust the caliph not only
in worldly affairs but also in religious matters. The current socio-political situation is
10. 10
very different from the socio-political situation of the classical era of Islam.
Therefore, it is necessary to consider the possible consequences of a non-Muslim ruler
ruling a Muslim state without the consent of the Muslims.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that Islamic teachings are definite and cannot be changed in any
way. It is also certain that Allah Almighty has given eternal form to Shariah and any
form of deviation from it is incapable of obtaining any justification. Therefore, the
position of the first class is absolutely correct that it is unfair (haraam) to make any
change in Islam. But at the same time, it is clear that this class has not been able to
cope with the political demands of the modern age. The flexibility of ‘ijtihad’ in the
Islamic mood has been somewhat overlooked in this regard. As a result, a practical
work has turned into a mere intellectual deliberation and demonstrative front. If the
law of the Muslim state is enacted and all its aspects are determined in the light of the
Qur'an and Sunnah, then the ruler is bound to enforce these laws. If a non-Muslim is
appointed on the basis of merit in which he does not have the power to change the law
and the constitution, then there is no problem in it. Believing in the appointment, the
background of his formal religious education and training has not come to light and he
does not go beyond the principles and details of Islamic law, but his inclination is
towards Western ideas. Their opinion cannot be correct.
