There are many words in the holy Quran which are used out of the literary boundaries of their specific meanings. One similar word is used in variety of meanings even in contrast shades. Thus, reader of the holy Quran needs interpretation to comprehend the actual sense of a same word used in different verses. The most authentic interpretation is one which is uttered by the speaker itself. But in the case of the holy Quran we cannot have such interpretation from the speaker, Almighty Allah. So we have to rely on the only mediation source in whom we trust as the messenger of the speaker. Context, atmosphere, era, addressees, and their status are also of the vital importance in comprehension of the descended text. These aspects are known by the audience who witnessed the articulation of the text themselves. To have the knowledge of all these aspects we have to rely on the Companions of the holy Prophet PBUH who viewed all these aspects as the part of the scenario. This speech paper specifically discusses the Quranic interpretations made by the companions in the times of war or mutual conflicts. In contemporary chaotic age this paper likely to facilitate the understanding of the right conduct of the Muslim when two groups of Islam conflict with each other by following the ways and interpretations of the companions (RA) which they followed after the holy Prophet PBUH.</p> 2024-02-04T00:00:00+05:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Prof. Dr Asim Naeem http://www.iqan.com.pk/index.php/iqan/article/view/434 Concept of Establishment of Din 2023-07-21T12:24:39+05:00 Dr Hafiz Waqas Khan waqas.khan@riphah.edu.pk Muhammad Naeem mnaeem.ss@riphah.edu.pk Raja Umair Mir umair.mir@riphah.edu.pk <p>In the present era, the Muslim community faces various internal and external challenges, one of which is the issue of establishing religion, referred to as "Iqamat-e-Deen" in the terminology of the Quran. There are differences of opinion among scholars regarding the interpretation of this term. According to some interpreters, it is considered a hypothetical responsibility imposed on the community, while according to others, it is a fundamental directive related to the entire religion rather than a hypothetical duty. Syed AbulA'laMaududi presents the stance that Islam has come to prevail over the entire world as a religion, and therefore it is the responsibility of every individual in the Muslim community to strive according to their abilities. On the other hand, Javed Ahmad Ghamidi's theory suggests that the responsibility of establishing religion lies with the authorities of contracts and agreements. According to him, it is not one of the obligations of religion, nor is it a commandment among its instructions to make it an additional obligation by classifying it as a duty of establishing religion. Due to the contradiction between these two opinions, the approach to the implementation of the community's obligations and the method of serving religion undergoes a change. This discussion, while evaluating the merits of both opinions, will also clarify their arguments and present a balanced perspective considering the differences present in both stances. This discussion will also provide answers to questions such as the meaning of establishing religion and the contexts in which this term is used in the Quran and Hadith. Additionally, it will propose recommendations through which the concept of establishing religion can be clarified and a methodology for its implementation in the present era can be determined. Furthermore, this discussion will also suggest measures regarding the practical implementation of prevailing Islam, which can be beneficial in terms of establishing the dominance of Islam.</p> 2023-12-31T00:00:00+05:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Author http://www.iqan.com.pk/index.php/iqan/article/view/445 Quranic Influences on the Fables of Premchand And Khadija Mastoor 2023-12-28T11:10:46+05:00 Sajid Ali saeedahmadgcuf@yahoo.com Dr. Saeed Ahmad saeedahmadgcuf@yahoo.com <p>This research delves into the profound influence of Quranic verses on the fiction of two distinguished authors, Premchand and Khadija Mustoor.

In those countries by the start of school, the finding of the field of interest of the child is carried and he is put on the path of his interest. Due to this, he gets his education happily according to his aptitude and becomes expert of his field.</p> <p>In opposite to this, in our societies, students have to face different types of difficulties in the field of education. Fortunately, if anyone reaches a university-level education then the biggest difficulty he has to face in the BS, MS and even PhD level education is the selection of the topic for himself. Students face huge difficulties in the selection of their theses topic and seems very anxious in that situation. In the contemporary era, students have deficient in study. In our country there are few high quality libraries. If few libraries of high standard are present then there are few studying people at there.&nbsp; The high-standard libraries of the well repudiated universities of our country have a lesser number of students for studying purposes. The situation of the students of the Islamic department is alarming because most of the students in Islamic studies are not know the different fields of Islamic studies. Islamic studies have different fields which have been discussed in this article. If students become familiar with these fields and improve themselves then their difficulties will be overcome.

The teachings of Islam are based on revelation here we have discussed the reasons of the decline of Pakistani society and then we suggested its remedy (in the light of Islam). When we see in the past people recited the verses of the Holy Quran in their houses, they discussed about teachings of Islam, Almighty Allah and the teachings of our Holy Prophet ?. They discussed about sacred personalities, Halal and Haram, business method, trustworthy, truthfulness, fear to Allah and other teachings of Islam to lead a peaceful and prosperous life. But now all these have gone away in our houses and societies. There are many reasons. Riba (usury, murder, telling a lie, theft, drink alcohol, Haram food and drinks etc) are become the part of our lives.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We should follow the teachings of Islam for living a good life. We should help each other; we should like the things for ourselves like for others. Allah has ordered us for justice and truth but we are far away from these things. We should create a sense of sacrifice, love, help and fear of Allah. This is our responsibility that we change our minds and follow the teachings of Islam with full zeal and zest.</p> <p>Keywords: Islamic teachings, followers, revelation, poverty, injustice, social values</p> 2024-02-04T00:00:00+05:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Muhammad Ajmal Qasmi, Dr. Muhammad Azam Panuhan
