Sustainability - an endeavor to stable, durable and eternalness performance - has become a renowned and most important fact, recognized and consciously emphasized by various international agencies, interested parties and consumers, that has caused extra pressure in widening the organization’s purpose to make productive use of input resources to create value and benefits for its constituents and stakeholders, of current and future generation, without harming the environment or society. Corporate sustainability management makes sight to grow business activities, by balancing the complementary and competing interests of key stakeholders, in three dimensions; economic, social and environmental; to lead superior and long-term success. Literature suggests that Corporate Sustainability Performance (CSP) can be substantiated with the very foundation of TQM or Business Excellence Models. Authors have also contrasted the principles and practices of three international management system standards (MSSs); i.e. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001; in fulfilling requirements related to Quality, Environment and Health & Safety (QEHS) to attain goals of three pillars of sustainability performance. Moreover, the ever growing industrial and technological advancement, in the world, creates new and diversified risks and challenges for the organizations, and for the environment, that can be dealt with attention to dimensions of Technology Management (TM). Managing technology entails production and use of alternatives which are economically and environmentally viable for the benefit of society. In literature, TQM and TM have been treated in separate fashion, and only little research is available that combines the both. This is a novel research study that co-aligns TQM and TM to empirically investigate their association and impact on sustainability performance while taking into account the contributing role of QEHS MSS. The study initially establishes research objectives and questions, and develops ten hypotheses, and then adopts a positivism philosophy, deductive approach, quantitative method and questionnaire based survey strategy for data collection from 209 organizations, of different sectors, sizes and locations, in Pakistan. Normality, homogeneity, reliability and validity of data is confirmed prior performing data analysis. Factor analysis, structural equation modeling (SEM) and path analysis techniques through sophisticated statistical softwares (Minitab, SPSS and AMOS) have been used for data analysis and relationship measurement of the factors. Results of the study reveal that TQM iv significantly impacts CSP and each dimension of sustainability, whereas TM significantly impacts economic sustainability only. It is also found that TQM mediates relationship between TM and CSP, whereas QEHS MSSs has no moderated mediation effect in the relationship but significantly contributes in achieving higher sustainability performance. After discussion, the study also proposes a six-step strategy to implement sustainability practices, and then highlights some valuable findings, conclusions, recommendations and limitations at the end. The study contributes to literature as it empirically investigates the association between the contemporary concepts, particularly in the context of a developing country, and suggests an implementation framework for attaining corporate sustainability performance.

Marriage has been given the status of half-faith, based on which a family is formed, and society is established. Marriage is associated with issues of lineage and inheritance and a section of the Quran describes this subject. The jurists have explained in detail the issues of marriage, dowry, breastfeeding, 'iddah, and alimony under the book of marriage. Ibn Taymiyyah, like other jurisprudential issues, has differed from several jurists on issues related to marriage. For example, it is fair for a man to marry his wife's foster mother and foster daughter. Marriage can take place in any of the terms or words from which the meaning of marriage is derived. Like the father, the grandfather also has the right to marry a minor girl without her permission, it is permissible to marry, the wife has the right to terminate the marriage in case of defect in Haq-e-Mahr, etc. All such jurisprudential dissent will be explained with arguments so that one can be aware of Ibn Taymiyyah's dissent and the arguments behind it.

Drugs contain the different component with different dosage concentration and some of them
cause the toxicity in liver and kidney. In current study, male wistar rats were divided into three
groups and kept in the animal house of the University of Health Sciences Lahore under standard
conditions. Group I was serve as control while Group II and III had given by benzaldehyde and
salicyldehyde derivative of pregabalin for 28 days, respectively. The behavioral changes, body
weight and eating habits were remained same in all groups. There was not mortality rate occur in
all groups. After sacrificing the animals, it was observed that there is not morphological and
gross change in the color and texture of the liver and kidney. Hematological analysis has not
showed the any significant difference in leukocyte count and MCV, platelet count, hemoglobin
concentration (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), erythrocyte count, mean corpuscular hemoglobin
(MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). Biochemical analysis showed
the elevation in AST and creatinine while the vales of bilirubin, BUN and ALT remain normal.
