In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has triggered a diplomatic and political controversy after referring to Britain as the “Islamic Republic of Britain” and suggesting that it could become the “first Islamic republic to get a nuclear weapon.” His remarks, made during an interview with Israel’s Army Radio, have been condemned by the British government as “completely unacceptable.” ( The Guardian ) The statement is striking not merely because of its provocative language, but because it combines two highly sensitive subjects: the alleged “Islamisation” of Western societies and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Taken literally, however, Netanyahu's formulation is factually wrong. Britain is a constitutional monarchy and a nuclear-armed state; it is neither an Islamic republic nor a country that is seeking to acquire nuclear weapons for the first time. The significance of the statement therefore lies less in its li...

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Pakistan Secures Second Command in Saudi-Led Multinational Maritime Defense Coalition Pakistan has secured a major command position in the newly established Saudi-led Multinational Maritime Defense Coalition (MMDC) , marking a significant expansion of Islamabad's role in the emerging maritime-security architecture of the Middle East and the wider Red Sea–Indian Ocean region.

اقوام کی آزادی اور خودمختاری کوئی ایسا حادثہ یا واقعہ نہیں جو ایک ہی دن میں اچانک رونما ہو جائے، بلکہ یہ ایک تدریجی، مرحلہ وار اور مسلسل عمل ہے جس کی مکمل تعبیر حاصل کرنے میں بعض اوقات کئی دہائیاں اور نسلیں لگ جاتی ہیں۔ کسی ملک کا محض سیاسی نقشے پر نمودار ہو جانا یا نوآبادیاتی حکمرانوں کا چلے جانا "ابتدائی آزادی" تو کہلاتا ہے، لیکن معاشی، ثقافتی، علمی اور ادارہ جاتی آزادی کا سفر بعد میں شروع ہوتا ہے۔ پاکستان کا 14 اگست 1947ء کو قیام دراصل آزادیِ کامل نہیں بلکہ سفرِ آزادی کا نقطۂ آغاز تھا۔ اس تاریخی حقیقت کو سمجھنے کے لیے تاریخِ اسلام کے زریں دور کی مثالوں اور پاکستان کے ارتقائی مراحل کا جائزہ لینا انتہائی ضروری ہے۔ 1. التزام و تدریج: تاریخِ اسلام کی روشنی میں ایک تاریخی سبق اقوام کی خودمختاری میں "حالات کے سازگار ہونے" اور "مرحلہ وار ارتقا" کی اہمیت کو سمجھنے کے لیے دورِ خلافتِ راشدہ سے بڑی کوئی مثال نہیں ملتی: اسلامی کیلنڈر اور کرنسی کا تدریجی سفر: خلافتِ راشدہ رضی اللہ عنہم کے ابتدائی سالوں میں، باوجود اس کے کہ مسلمان ایک آزاد اور عظیم الشان ریاست قا...
