Radical Feminism and its Major Socio-Religious Impact a Critical Analysis from Islamic Perspective

Women’s rights and freedom is one of the most debated subjects and the flash point of contemporary world. Women maintain a significant place in the society catered to them not only by the modern world but also by religion. Yet, the clash between Islamic and western civilization is that they have defined different set of duties for them. Islam considers women an important participatory member of the society by assigning them inclusive role, specifying certain fields of work to them, given the vulnerability they might fall victim to. Contrarily, Western world allows women to opt any profession of their choice regardless of tangible threats they may encounter. Apparently, the modern approach seems more attractive and favorable, but actually this is not plausible from Islamic point of view. Intermingling, co-gathering and sexual attraction of male and female are creating serious difficulties and problems for both genders, especially for women. Women are currently running many movements for their security, rights and liberties under the umbrella of “Feminism”. Due to excess of freedom and lack of responsibility, a radical movement came into existence which was named as ‘Radical Feminism’. This feminist movement is affecting the unique status of women in the whole world, especially in the west. This study seeks to explore radical feminism and its major impact on socio-religious norms in addition to its critical analysis from an Islamic perspective. Analytical research methodology will be adopted in this study with qualitative cum quantitative approach. This study reveals that the radical feminism has some notorious impacts on ethical, social and religious norms of the society, with especial reference to Muslims. Thus, it is a dire need of time to encounter these impact and consequences in the light of legal and moral approaches.

Numerical Simulation of Some Boundary Layer Flow Problems

The purpose of this thesis is to present the numerical study of some boundary layer flow and heat transfer problems related to the channel with stretching/shrinking walls, orthogonally moving disks, stretching cylinder, vertical square duct, the stagnation point flow and the pulsatile flow. The study includes the self-similar problems and also the ones for which no similarity solution exists. For the problems of first type, a similarity transformation is used to convert the governing Navier-Stokes equations into a set of nonlinear third or fourth order ODEs. The ones of third order are solved by using the order-reduction technique whereas the later are solved by employing quasi-linearization or pseudo transient approach in which the time plays the role of an iteration parameter until the convergence is reached. In case of second type problems, we have used the three step explicit Runge-Kutta method for the numerical study of the unsteady pulsatile flow of a biofluid in the channel, whereas the numerical simulation in a vertical duct has been carried out by employing the Spectral method and the finite difference method. We have studied the flow and thermal properties of not only the Newtonian fluid but also the biofluid (blood), micropolar and Nano fluids as well. The effects of the governing parameters on different aspects of the problems are discussed through tables and figures.
