صوفیہ خام اور علمائے سوء کا علمی محاسبہ کشف المحجوب کی روشنی میں

This paper is an attempt to elaborate and highlight the attributes and qualities of leading specialists and reformative factors of Islamic society blessed with moral par-excellence known asṢūfiyā and‘Ulamā’. As unfortunately, with an exception of few, these responsible characters have gone astray following ill commanding self like a wolf in sheep’s dress hiding their harmful aspects with friendly appearance. These so-called knowledge spreading elements and spiritual mentors are also accountable to disparage the values and thought associated with Islamic system of learning and self-purification. So, it is necessary to remove the curtain in order to visit the real picture of Taṣawwaf. For this purpose, a book ‘Kashf al-Maḥjūb’ of great Sufi scholar Syed Alī bin ‘Uthmān al Hujvairī (R.A)has been selected to examine analytically how he discussed the situation in the light of Qur’ān and Sunnah elaborating the misconduct and bad behavior of under discussed. One who disguised himself instead of having conflict between his internality (self) to that of externality. The habits and attitude of imperfect Ṣūfiyā and the misleading ‘Ulamā’ and their injurious impact on society have been discussed by Alī Hujvairī (R.A) in his comprehensive treatise. The author also setout a strategy to know how to get rid of these so-called Ṣūfiyā and‘Ulamā’ and suggested various outlines and framework for recuperation in order to save the humanity from their lethal side effects.

The Application of Doctrine of Necessity in Shariah and Contemporary Medical Issues With Special Reference to Family Matters and Pakistani Law

This research work aimed to study the Shariah doctrine of necessity and its application to contemporary medical issues. After thorough investigation of the classical treatises of the Islamic law, it is clear that necessity was not given separate and proper attention by the earlier jurists, although they have discussed it from the human life perspectives, but they did not discuss its application in medical issues related to family matters. Since, the biomedical issues we are facing today were not available at the time of the compilation of Islamic law. However, related materials can be found in different classical manuals of Islamic law, such as discussion on medication, debate on family cases of fertility and etc., but this was deemed to be insufficient to meet the present day requirements, as it is apparent from their writings that necessity had been applied by the former jurists in a state of exigency, and that is limited towards food and drinking necessity only with a view that the rule of necessity can be extended to other abnormal situations as well. That is why the contemporary scholars extended necessity to other cases and paid much attention to the protection of five basic necessities. Hence, the contemporary jurisprudence has taken the principle of necessity into account believing that the basic understanding of the rule of necessity is gradually developed in the jurists'' minds, but the available work is too deficient, as been unable to explain every aspects of the human life. Therefore, this research study is an attempt to discuss the doctrine of necessity on one hand acumen that necessity is not a free license to act otherwise of the standard rules, while on the other hand it elucidates the application of necessity to contemporary medical issues related to family matters and Pakistani law in order to avert its abuse and let the Muslims know that how the doctrine of necessity works in contemporary medical issues.
