Behavioral finance is the new-fangled discipline of research in finance. Behavioural finance examines individual investors and market behavior through application of psychology. It addresses the question that how investors behave in the market rather than how they should behave. To address this question, behavioral finance relaxes the assumptions of standard finance and claims the efficient market hypothesis. Behavioral finance also identifies the stock market anomalies that serve as the cornerstone for allowing the market to deviate from the efficient market hypothesis. The market is a combination of buyers and sellers. Therefore, investors‘ behavior is the key notion to generate anomalies in the stock exchange that deviates the market from efficient market hypothesis and makes market inefficient. Asian markets and it‘s individual investors are irrational in contrast to other regions. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the investors‘ behavior and their performance regarding risk, return, and satisfaction. Subsequently, this study proposed two models in this dissertation named model 1 (heuristics) and model 2 (Prospects) and Chapter 5 entails the results of both these models. The primary objective of this dissertation is to investigate the investor‘s behavior toward their investment performance about stock market anomalies. This current research centers on applying the multi-mediation model in the context of behavioral finance. Hence, the major problem addressed in this study is ―How appropriate is the multi mediation hypotheses model for measuring individual investors‘ investment performance while using stock market anomalies‖? Previous studies have examined the direct impact of behavioral factors on the investment performance of individuals. In contrast, this study examines mediated links through fundamental, technical, and calendar stock market anomalies. Findings rely on data collected through surveys and obtained 324 responses. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to analyze the collected data. Results show that two mechanisms, fundamental anomalies and calendar anomalies mediate the heuristics–investment performance link, and technical anomalies are not significant mediators of impact on investment performance of individuals. Of the four heuristics components, Availability and representativeness are the strongest predictor of investment performance, followed by fundamental anomalies. Overconfidence is a strong predictor of investment performance of individuals followed by calendar anomalies. Furthermore, the findings imply that two processes, Fundamental and calendar anomalies mediate four prospect dimensions-investment performance link. Among four dimensions of prospect regret aversion and self-control is the strongest predictor of investment performance followed by calendar anomalies. Regret aversion is also strongest predictor of investment x performance via fundamental anomalies. Practical implications are discussed separately in the analysis. This study concludes that anomalies and investors‘ behavior plays a key role in the investment decisions if they use the heuristics and prospects within pertinent bounds. A unique conclusion is that multi mediation analysis can reveal the detailed nature of regular patterns rooted in behavioral finance. Thus, a multi mediations model can be used for future research to investigate the investors‘ behavior and market anomalies. However, it will not be used to measure the traditional finance hypotheses.

مولانا سعید احمد اکبرآبادی کی رحلت،علمی، ادبی، اوردینی، اور صحافتی دنیا کا ایک ایسا نقصان ہے جس کی تلافی کی کوئی صورت بظاہر موجود نہیں ہے وہ ان نادر شخصیتوں میں سے جن کے اندر قدیم اورجدید علوم جمع ہوجاتے ہیں اور وہ زمانہ کو اپنی خداداد ذہانت اور طبائع کی روشنی سے منّور کرنے کاایسا عظیم الشان کام انجام دیتے ہیں، جوقدیم علوم کے ماہرین اور جدید علوم کے علمبردار وں سے الگ الگ صورت میں ممکن نہیں۔ مولانا سعید احمد اکبرآبادی ایک طرف علامہ انور شاہ کشمیریؒ کے ذریعہ اورواسطے سے ،اس سلسلۃ الذہب سے منسلک نظرآتے ہیں،جواسرار علوم نبوت کے محرموں اورفقہ وحدیث کے بالغ نظر عالموں، اسلامی شرع اوردینی کمالات کے حامل شخصیتوں کاایک ایسا قافلہ ہے، جس نے دینی علوم کوتحقیقی صلاحیتوں کے قالب میں ڈھال کر ہرزمانہ اور ہرعہد کے مطابق بنانے اور اس کی رہنمایانہ استعدادقائم ر کھنے میں ناقابلِ فراموش حصّہ لیا۔ دوسری طرف سے وہ جدید علوم سے پوری طرح واقف، اور دنیا میں سائنسی اورصنعتی اورمعاشی انقلابات کے اثرات ونتائج سے مکمل طورپر باخبر اور نئے زمانے کے تقاضوں کاپورا شعور رکھنے والے ایک دانشور تھے، جوقدیم علوم کی آب و تاب،مذہبی روایات کے تقدس کی برقراری اور اصول واحکام دین کی پاسداری بلکہ نگہبانی کافرض آدھی صدی سے بھی زیادہ مدّت تک انجام دیتے رہے۔وہ ایک طرف مفتی عتیق الرحمن عثمانی ؒ،مولانا حفظ الرحمن سیوہاروی ؒ، مولانامحمد یوسف بنوری ؒ، مفتی محمد شفیع دیوبندیؒ،قاضی زین العابدین سجاد میرٹھی(تعالیٰ اﷲ عمرہٗ) مولانا احمدعلی لاہوریؒ،اورمولانا قاری محمد طےّب قاسمیؒ ،جیسے نابغۃ العصراور فقید المثال ماہرین علوم شریعت اور...

Doctrine of Peace: An Islamic Perspective, an Analysis of the Hindrances in Peace Making Process

The present day global community is confronted with several challenges, absence of peace being the biggest one. The UNO and other regional organizations strive hard to achieve this goal. Unfortunately the world is far from achieving the goal of ensuring peace. It is also a fact that in most cases the Muslim world is in turmoil and it is involved or has been involved in one way or another. In order to find out the real causes of unrest, it is imperative to analyze the situation from academic, political, economic and social aspects.  This article deals with first aspect i.e. The academic. It has three parts, in the first part importance of peace has been elaborated in the light of the Quran and the Sunnah. In the second part, importance of peace treaties of the Prophet (PBUH), and one of His successors Umar, the second Caliph, has been brought in to focus. The issue that the foreign policy of Islamic State is based on perpetual peace has been discussed in this part. While in the third part those obstacles have been discussed which have caused to damage the  peace process in the world.

The Dilemma of National Consciousness and the Making of National Culture an Analysis of the Literary Works by Pakistani Writers 1964-2011

This qualitative interpretive research seeks to explore the dilemma of Pakistani English literature in terms of inculcating a national consciousness and national culture. The selection of literary works is made from a range of fictional and non-fictional texts written by different Pakistani writers in a time spanning from 1964-2011. The works selected for analysis encompass the wide and complex aspects of Pakistan’s national culture and history in the backdrop of the subjective perspectives and experiences of the writers. By employing an intertextual and comparative method of reading as my principal methodological strategy, my study has attempted to read across texts in order to identify thematic links and parallels which demonstrate the dilemma of Pakistani English writers in constructing a composite national culture. Besides questioning the validity of Pakistani English writers in representing the question of nation, the present research has also questioned the fallibility of metropolitan critics in offering a viable and more grounded interpretation of Pakistani English writings. It has also highlighted the need to come up with a more culture-specific and context-bound intellectual and critical perspective that can become a building block for a genuine national culture with the promise of transformation for individuals and communities.
