عالمی اتحاد و یگانگت کے لئے مکالمہ بین المذاہب کا کردار: تعلیمات نبوی کی روشنی میں

During these troubled times fallacious notions are being deliberately and repeatedly spread throughout the world by many biased, ill-informed and even mischievous persons regarding Islam and Holy Prophet Mohammad(SAW). Those writers have tried to damage the graceful and towering personality of Mohammad(SAW) in the eyes of the world. Thus, Islam is under the pressure of media, politicians, and even financial world donor institutions. The result of all this propaganda is that Muslims are considered a threat to Western way of life. Muslims are portrayed as fanatics, fundamentalists and terrorists. This article presents the Islamic view about interfaith dialogue especially in the light of the Quranic verses and Hadith of Prophet (SAW). Certain events from the life of the Prophet (SAW) have also been quoted when the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) held interfaith dialogue with the rulers, envoys and other factions. These incidents include different strategies of the prophet (SAW) calling DAWA and preaching for interfaith dialogue. At the same time Prophet (SAW) presented Islam as a religion of harmony and peace.

Family of Numerical Methods for the Solutions of Two Point Boundary-Value Problems Using Non-Polynomial Spline Functions

The research presented in this dissertation is aimed at the development of family of numerical solutions of Two Point Boundary-Value Problems (BVP) in all the branches of engineering sciences with higher precision. In such engineering related boundary-value problems the boundary conditions are specified at two points. The core of this dissertation is focused on the development of a new technique based on quartic non-polynomial spline functions, connecting spline functions values at "mid knots" for the numerical approximations to engineering BVPs and their corresponding values of the fourth-order derivatives. This new approach, which is recently being cited, is so developed that it leads to a family of numerical methods that may be used for computing approximations to the solution of a system of boundary-value problems of third and fourth-order associated with contact and sandwich beam problems. This research work is furthered on the development of a family of higher order numerical solutions to special non-linear third-order boundary-value problems. It is shown that the developed family of higher order methods gives better approximations in contrast to the existing numerical methods. It has further been shown that the existing second, fourth- order and higher order finite-difference and spline functions based methods become special cases of our new technique developed at mid knots presented in this dissertation. Results from the numerical experimentation of renowned problems are also given to illustrate applicability and efficiency of the newly developed family of numerical methods.
