By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal From the very dawn of creation, the universe has moved according to a divine equilibrium. Allah Almighty brought into existence innumerable creatures, assigning each its sphere and sustenance. On land, human beings were endowed with intellect, conscience, and moral responsibility; in the oceans, an astonishing diversity of life emerged, numbering in the hundreds of thousands of known species, with many more still undiscovered. Among these aquatic beings, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) stands as the largest fish, gliding through the seas and sustaining itself by filtering vast volumes of water to consume plankton and tiny fish.…

By Advocate Syeda Anam Sana Naqvi Pakistan stands at a crossroads, witnessing a quiet yet significant transformation in the role of women in society. Education, professional opportunities, and the pursuit of independence have inspired many women to carve out lives on their own terms, pursuing careers, moving into cities, and living independently. Yet, this very assertion of autonomy brings with it an often invisible but deeply entrenched struggle—a struggle against societal suspicion, legal gaps, and systemic inertia that continue to undermine the safety and dignity of single working women. In a society still negotiating between tradition and modernity, these women…

In recent statements that have sent shockwaves across international corridors of power, former United States President Donald Trump laid bare a worldview that is at once audacious and profoundly alarming. Speaking to The New York Times and a range of international media outlets, he proclaimed that no force on Earth could restrain American military action save his own moral compass. In doing so, he positioned the United States not merely as a leading global power, but as an entity above the rules, treaties, and norms designed to prevent catastrophe. The implications of this declaration are sobering: global peace, nuclear stability,…

By Uzma Ehtasham The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has once again reaffirmed its commitment to the resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, invoking the United Nations Commission resolution of 6 January 1949. This resolution, which enshrined the right of the Kashmiri people to self-determination, remains, according to the OIC, the only legally recognized framework for addressing a conflict that has spanned more than seven decades. Yet, decades of international attention have yielded little tangible change, leaving the people of Kashmir caught in a cycle of occupation, resistance, and persistent human suffering. The OIC’s renewed appeal, while significant in…

By Asghar Ali Mubarak Global demand for Pakistan’s JF-17 Thunder fighter jets is on the rise. The success of the country’s arms industry has the potential to transform Pakistan’s economy. During the four-day conflict with India in May last year, Pakistan not only demonstrated the effectiveness of Chinese-made military equipment but also showcased its indigenously developed weapons, including the JF-17 Thunder fighter jet, the Al-Khalid main battle tank, and the Fateh series guided multi-launch rocket system. The JF-17 Thunder, in particular, proved its combat capabilities during clashes with India in both May last year and in 2019. Last year, it…

Despite pouring millions into lobbying efforts in Washington, India has recently encountered a rare diplomatic setback—an outcome that underscores a growing dissonance between its global aspirations and domestic realities. According to a report by a leading American investigative agency, the Indian government paid a lobbying firm $450,000 in an effort to restore its tarnished diplomatic image. This initiative, codenamed “Operation Sandor,” sought to use lobbying as a conduit to reach the Trump administration, enlisting the firm’s assistance to secure meetings with U.S. officials and gain access to corridors of power that often remain opaque even to seasoned diplomats. In addition…

By Dr Barkat Ali Khan and Dr Iqra Shamsher Islam recognizes this sacred role. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) declared, “Paradise lies beneath the feet of mothers.” This is not merely a statement of affection but a profound acknowledgment of a mother’s influence in shaping the moral and spiritual foundation of the next generation. An educated and morally upright woman does not just elevate herself; she elevates her family, her community, and her nation. When women are empowered with education, they become agents of change—teachers, leaders, scientists, and reformers who guide society toward enlightenment. As Muslims, we must continue this legacy…
