By Pervaiz mughal ISLAMABAD: Maulana Muhammad Abu Bakr Hameed Sabri, president of the Pakistan Ulema Council, had urged the government to draw lessons from early Islamic governance, as he addressed a Friday congregation in Islamabad, calling for a more people-centered approach to policy at a time of mounting economic strain. Speaking to worshippers, the cleric said that historians had consistently recorded that early Muslim rulers governed with a singular sense of accountability, driven by a desire to seek the pleasure of God rather than accumulate wealth or impose excessive taxation. He pointed to the example of Umar ibn al-Khattab, describing…

There is a particular cruelty in watching a place you love forget itself. Orangi Town, sprawling and restless on the fringes of Karachi, once carried a quiet, improbable pride that few outside its narrow lanes fully grasped. It was not merely its size — though it is often described as one of the largest informal settlements in Asia — but its sense of self-belief. For years, residents spoke of a literacy rate that brushed past ninety percent, a figure that sounded almost implausible in a country where educational attainment remains uneven and deeply stratified. Yet here, amid precarious housing and…

By S.M. Inam I was in London when the broadcast came through, the kind of damp April evening that seems to settle into the walls of the city. Light rain traced the windowpane, my tea had long gone lukewarm, and CNN’s live feed had taken over the room with the quiet authority of a global event unfolding in real time. On screen, Capitol Hill stood formal and unyielding, the chamber filling with that familiar choreography of American state power. Inside, the joint session of Congress rose as King Charles III entered the chamber. There was no British prime minister in…

By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal May 1 arrives each year with the predictable rhythm of ritual. Across continents, it is marked as a public holiday, a symbolic pause in the machinery of work that is itself built and sustained by workers. In cities from Karachi to Paris, Jakarta to São Paulo, the day unfolds in familiar patterns: rallies that gather in prescribed spaces, banners lifted high with slogans that have changed little over decades, speeches delivered from makeshift stages or polished conference halls, and official statements reaffirming a commitment to labor rights that is often more rhetorical than real. There is…

By Rukhsar Zehra In the Horn of Africa, Somalia has remained at the center of a long-running terrorism crisis for more than three decades. Despite sustained international efforts, the militant group Al-Shabaab continues to carry out deadly attacks against civilians, government institutions, and security forces. In the past year alone, hundreds of people have been killed in bombings and targeted assaults in Mogadishu and across the southern regions. As this violence increasingly spills beyond Somalia’s borders, international cooperation is no longer optional but essential. Somalia’s instability traces back to the collapse of its central government in 1991. That breakdown created…
