Islam gives priority to peace, dialogues, treaty and co-operation. In order to social behavior, Peace is the basic principle in the Holy Qu-ran. Holy Qur-an considers that the violence and war is as act of evil and those who engage in it are following the evil actions.

Abstract Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s philosophy on prophethood is so much transparent than other Islamic philosophers. He used clear cut language and idioms to exposure the reality of prophethood and the message of Islam while others were in mostly complicated fashion in narrating the Islamic philosophy. Said Nursi’s risale-I nur is the best example for his approach to the prophethood. By using the mass language in his treatises and even his speeches he could succeed the heart of people and attract to his fine thoughts on principles of Islamic faith. Manifestation of Said Nursi’s philosophy on prophethood is basically derived from Holy Quran and prophetic teachings. Most of medieval period’s Islamic philosophers were in influence of other philosophies like Greek, Persian and Indian interpretations on ultimate truth and reality of divine intervention in human life. But Said Nursi has never approached to those complex versions of narration. The paper exposes Said Nursi’s approach to p...

Abstract Key Words: Islam, Sufism, unity, co-existence, religious tolerance I adopt Sufism, by considering existing nomenclature in academia, but in mind Ulema. In the discussion on Sufism all over the world particularly Muslim world, they cite as withdrawal from mundane world. But most of the Sufis were involved in socio-political reform as they advised then rulers and supported them to maintain peace and security in their respect regions. Another significant observation is that their service to society is derived from religious duty. They believed service to people is obedience to the God. The religious tolerance and co-existence stem from this fundamental. They knew that Islam has never taught to divide the people in respect of faith and belief. Islam teaches to see all as one family and sons and daughters of Adam (A). These Sufis presented Islam as religion of tolerance and source of inner and outer peace. It is important to mention this perceptive while Islam is being quest...

The Companion  January 2013 Vol:07 Issue:08 Maryam jameela’s hatred of western civilization and materialism in all its varied characteristics is restless quest for absolute, transcendental ideals. But she tried to incline to be more traditional in life and in ideals particularly.   All of her criticism on western culture and its impacts on Muslim world are derived from her reading of her own life. Her life taught her the adventures of the lavishness of the ideas and the distractions from the real instincts and the lack of spiritual feelings. Her long way to find the ultimate truth led her to the direction of Islam. For her, Islam was that gives more meaningful life, purpose and value. In her first period, she was more inclined towards political and vibrant thoughts. But after coming to Pakistan she became more traditional, that does not mean that she became more spiritual. In fact she was against the revivalist tendency of Islamic movements and Islamic figure...

My Eid Mubarak for you, my friends. Don’t think it as mere a greeting. But it’s a humble gift from my deep heart.  In this current scenario, everywhere Muslims makes horrible problems and somewhere they get accused by others doings. Anyway this Eid says to you to accept with whole heart.  This whole month of Ramadan Muslims from all over the world were fasting for the consent for the God almighty. But the fasting is only accepted when he/she obeys all instructions and rulings of Ramadan. These regulations are not just confined to avoid the food and water and pray all five times and find some times to read holy Qur-an. If you harm anyone feelings irrespective of religion or any other differences your fasting is broken and if you wasting your time in back biting and gossiping your fasting is not worthy. Don’t think that your Ramadan was on best way because of your praying and sitting at mosques. Your Ramadan was not worthy if anyone did not get any tiny message of love an...
