اللہ ہی ساری کائنات کا نظام چلانے والا ہے کوئی اس کا شریک نہیں عبادت اور رازونیاز کا صرف وہی مستحق ہے اللہ تعالیٰ نے قرآن مجید میں اپنی صفات جگہ جگہ بےنظیر طریقے سے بیان کی ہیں جن سے ذات الٰہی کا نہایت واضح تصور حاصل ہوتا ہے۔
دل کے لئے سلامتی اور کوئی صلاح وبھلائی اللہ وحدہ لاشریك له کی توحید کے بغیر ممکن نہیں۔ جس قدر انسان کے پاس توحید کی صداقت اور سلامتی اعتقاد میں پائی جائے گی اسی قدر اس کے لئے سلامتی صدر اور اصلاح قلب پائی جائے گی چنانچہ دل کی تخلیق کا مقصد یہی ہے کہ اپنے پیدا کرنے والے کو پہچانا جائے اور اس کی شایان شان اس سے محبت کی جائے اور اس کی وحدانیت کا اقرارویقین کیا جائے اور اس بات کو بھی عملی تطبیق دے کہ اللہ ہی دنیا کی ہر شے سے بڑھ کر اس کو محبوب ہےاور دنیا کی ہر چیز سے بڑھ کر وہی ہستی نہایت عظیم ہے، تو دل کی بھلائی بس اسی چیز کے حصول میں ہے۔
اللہ تعالیٰ قرآن میں ارشاد فرماتے ہیں:
"وَہُوَاللہُ لَآ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا ہُوَ لَہُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْاُوْلٰى وَالْاٰخِرَۃِ وَلَہُ الْحُكْمُ وَاِلَيْہِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ"۔[[1]]

Maulānā Muḥammad Ismāʿīl al-Ūdwī al-Shikārpurī (1897-1970) was one of the very prominent scholarly personalities of Pakistan. His life and works are studied and analyzed in detail elsewhere. (See. IRJAH, Faculty of Arts, University of Sindh, Jamshoro, Vol. 42, 2014 and Ma’arif Research Journal, Islamic Research Academy, Karachi, issue. 13, 2017). This paper mainly deals with al-Ūdwī’s theory of iʿjāz al-Qurʾān. With regard to the theory of iʿjāz al-Qurʾān, classical scholars including al-Rummani, al-Khaṭṭābī, al-Baqillani, al-Rāzī significantly emphasize the linguistic nature of iʿjāz as an argument to support the doctrine of iʿjāz al-Qurʾān. Al-Ūdwī on the other hand, after accepting the linguistic iʿjāz of the Qurʾān, proceeds to go further than his predecessors in supporting the doctrine of iʿjāz al-Qurʾān by emphasizing and situating iʿjāz in the content of the Qurʾān. Therefore, his book Nūr al-Īqān bi iʿjāz al-Qurʾān seems to be considerably different in its arguments from his predecessors’ theory. There is no exaggeration to say that al-Ūdwī has distinctly added several new arguments in his book, which, according to him, provide the certainty in the doctrine of iʿjāz, as he names his book as Nūr al-Īqān bi Iʿjāz al-Qurʾān, ‘Light of the faith through the inimitability of the Qurʾān.
Betterment of Humans in the Light of Khutbah Hajjat-ul-Wadah and the Universal Declaration of 1948 (A Comparative
Study)
Human rights are the most complicated issue and challenge for 21st Century. Islam has granted some fundamental
rights for the whole humanity, without any discrimination that needs be practiced under all situations. The west
claimed to be founder of Human rights due to which the people of the world are blessed with all human rights otherwise
they were steped in ignorance. The question arises are human rights absolute and bestowed on men by God or they
caused by development of society on created by the society itself. Basically to answer this question, the present research
is conducted by making a comparative study of the human rights granted by Allah Almighty through Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) in his last sermon and contemporary human rights practiced in the west specially documented in
universal declaration of 1948. The objective of the study is to compare both document, their origin and development.
After detailed study it is clear that Islam has laid down a comprehensive charter of universal fundamental rights for
humanity 1400 years ago. This charter granted a very note worthy profound declaration of rights. Furthermore it is
concluded that there is no substantial difference between some of the fundamental principles set forth in the west and
the Islamic precepts, whereas, there is difference in their approaches. On the basis of the research it is concluded that
the inherent dignity of man and his fundamental freedom tracing its origin back to God or Divine inspiration.
The main purpose of this study is to reveal and disclose the similarities and dissimilarities in respect of social human
rights and freedom in universal declaration on human Rights (UDHR 1948) from the Islamic political perspective by
defining the concept of human rights and its characteristics in both Islam and western perspectives, studying the UDHR
with a view to extract the social human rights and freedom contained therein and finally stating the similarities and
dissimilarities between the last sermon and declaration in respect of such rights alongside the description on how such
rights supposed to be in the declaration in particular and in the western ideology in general in the light of Islamic social
reforms.
