The only religion Islam provides the thorough layout for human beings not only covers the spiritual needs but also shaped the materialistic desires in a better way.

This study emphasis on analyzing the practice of ʼijāra as a financing mode in the wake of Parallel Banking system of Bank of Khyber in the light of Sharʽiah teachings and to portray the real picture of it to enhance the level of satisfaction of customer.
This is a research-based effort, an attempt to illuminate heart with the light of Qur'anic knowledge and
to enable human mind to have a clearer vision of the matter in this divine light. Worthwhile research
already exists on this topic but I ventured to write with the faith that those who have quest for knowledge
can get satisfactory answer for all the questions emerging in their minds. The writer explored the word
"Nation" and explained the meanings of "rise and fall" after that the ummahs of all the prophets termed
as nations with ages when human society got organized have been discussed.
The nations whose rise and fall have been discussed in Holy Quran either in detail or briefly become main
stay of this thesis. It begins with the rise and fall of Hazrat Idrees's (A.S) nation as his period is regarded
as the beginning of organized human society. This nation started its march in the sagacious leadership of
Hazrat Idrees (A.S). this nation never suffered degradation as it remained obedient to the prophet and
his commandments: Besides Holy Qur'an, Hadith has also been consulted as saying of the Holy Prophet
an explanatory to Holy Qur'an. In this way all the prophets down to Hazrat Ismail (A.S) have been
discussed. From Hazrat Ishaq's (A.S) prophethood, leadership and kingship were vested in his posterity.
Their separate accounts make the work bulky. So after Hazrat Yaqoob (A.S) all the nations have been
combined under the name of Israelites to study the causes of their rise and fall. Hazrat Ishaq (A.S) has
been blended as father of Israelites. All the prophets till Hazrat Isa (A.S) belong to Israelites so they have
been combined for the sake of discussion. After that the most remarkable nation belongs to the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). So the causes of rise and fall of Mulsim nation have been combined.
If we study carefully, the mention of rise and fall of others is only as a warning to the ummah of Holy
Prophet (P.B.U.H) so that they may continue their upward journey. In the last chapter, comparative study
of causes of rise and fall between western thinkers and those given by Holy Qur'an is given: this
comparative study includes three thinkers:
- The book of Dr. Micheal The rise and fall of nations; how Christians interpret History.
- Edward Gibbon's book Decline and fall of Roman Empire.
- A Study of History by Toynbee.
The crux of these three books is compared with the Qur'anic perspective of this topic. A lot of stuff is
available on this topic.
