Nearly four years after the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, the promise that the country would emerge from decades of war as a more stable state has proved increasingly difficult to sustain. Instead of becoming a source of regional stability, Afghanistan has continued to face deep political isolation, economic collapse, humanitarian distress and growing concerns over the persistence of extremist networks. These developments have not remained confined within Afghanistan’s borders. They have had a direct impact on neighbouring countries, particularly Pakistan, while also raising wider international fears that the country could once again become a safe haven for militant…

By Prince El Hassan bin Talal The beginning of a new Hijri year is not merely a moment to recall a historic journey that transformed the course of Islamic history. It is an opportunity to revisit the deeper philosophy of the Hijra and reflect on the values it represents: sacrifice, perseverance, dignity, justice, truth, solidarity and a sense of responsibility toward humanity. The Hijra was not simply a migration from one place to another; it was a profound movement of faith, resilience and moral purpose that continues to inspire generations. These meanings become even more significant when the Muslim world…

By Dr. Zawwar Hussain World Population Day, observed each year on 11 July, is more than an annual entry on the international calendar. It is a reminder that population is not simply about numbers but about people, opportunity and responsibility. The size of a nation’s population shapes its economy, healthcare, education, environment, employment and social stability. The real challenge is not how many people a country has, but whether it can provide them with the resources and opportunities needed to lead productive and dignified lives. The world’s population has expanded at an extraordinary pace over the past two centuries. After…

By Dr Mushaiyada Mairaj                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Shipping rarely dominates public debate, yet it remains the backbone of the global economy. More than 70 per cent of global trade, accounting for around 80 per cent of goods, is carried by sea. A successful and cost-effective maritime transport sector is essential for goods shipped in containers, including textiles, rice, surgical products, seafood and sporting goods from Pakistan. Yet the regulations governing international shipping are evolving rapidly. Maritime decarbonisation is no longer on the periphery of environmental policy; it is at the centre of international trade, and countries that fail to adapt will lose both…

By Atiq Raja Life is often described as a journey, but too many people travel it while looking in the wrong direction. Some remain captive to memories of the past, replaying old disappointments, missed opportunities and painful conversations as though they could somehow rewrite what has already been lived. Others become consumed by uncertainty about the future, allowing fears of what might happen to overshadow what is happening now. In this constant tug-of-war between yesterday and tomorrow, the present moment quietly slips away. Ironically, the very time that holds the greatest potential for change is the one we most frequently…

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s latest accusation that Afghanistan is providing support to terrorist groups operating against Pakistan marks another sharp escalation in the increasingly strained relationship between the two neighbouring countries. Speaking at a meeting of the provincial Apex Committee on the National Action Plan in Quetta, the prime minister alleged that terrorists responsible for recent attacks were using Afghan territory as a launching pad while receiving logistical backing and weapons from Pakistan’s eastern neighbour. His remarks, delivered in the presence of the country’s senior civilian and military leadership, underscored Islamabad’s growing conviction that the country’s deteriorating security situation is…

Dr. Mehmood Alam Aasi Khurram Jahangiri Hazrat Sufi Syed Muhammad Mujtaba Hassan Ali Shah occupies a distinguished place in the spiritual history of the Indian subcontinent, not because he sought recognition or worldly influence, but because his life reflected the enduring ideals of humility, devotion and selfless service.

His journey from privilege to profound spirituality remains a reminder that genuine greatness is measured not by status…
