Allah sent his prophets for the guidance of the Human beings. Prophet Muḥammad (SAW) was the last of them. In the short span of only twenty three years, he changed the scenario of the world through the teachings of Islam. Apart from countless Muslims, the Non Muslim scholars also wrote about his life. Lesley Hazleton is a Non Muslims scholar wrote "The First Muslim-The Story of Muhammad". This book is divided into three parts; 1 The Orphan, 2 Exile & 3 The Leader. She expressed her views about the Prophet in her book openly. Many times she praises the prophet (SAW) for his achievements but like her successors, she criticizes his life. Sometimes she criticizes the family (forefathers) of the prophet, sometimes, in soft words criticizes the family life and polygamy of the Prophet (SAW). This research paper discusses her approach to the life of the Prophet (Seerah) in the light of her book.

A Psycho-semiotic Study of Franz Kafka's Text

A Psycho-semiotic Study of Franz Kafka's Text This Psychosemiotic study of Kafkan text explores how signs and symbols in the Kafkan text play a significant role in bringing the structured imagination of Kafka's psyche and signification process on the surface of the narrative. These embedded sign complexes help to appreciate the in-depth dimensions meanings of Kafkan text with reference to his personality by positioning him in the multidimensional theoretical framework of Psychosemiotics. The proposition of the sign phenomenon has been contested through the critical review of the related literature on Kafka, and this analysis opens up the existing spaces and gaps, and thus creates a prerequisite and rationale for the Psychosemiotic study of Kafka. From this methodological, analytical, and theoretical perspective, I have investigated signs and symbols in their subliminal context, and scrutinized them to see as to how they appear in Kafkan narratives. This explicit display of Kafkan fiction, as a discourse within the particular context of interpretation of signs and symbols, has been argued in the light of theoretical assumptions of Sonne & Grambye's (2006) Psychosemiotic model at propositional, narrative and argumentative levels simultaneously spotlight the psychic structures of id, ego and super ego manifested in the text. The analysis and interpretation of the delimited text of Kafka shows that linguistic signs resurface the psychic structure of Kafka that refers to the subconscious, unconscious and conscious sensibilities of Kafka's personality in the symbols at representational and conceptual levels. This propensity verifies the Psychosemiotic perspective of discourse as how narrative is displayed on the surface and how it stirs up and excites various meanings at deeper levels on the part of reader, exposing and corresponding to the hidden recesses of Kafkan intellect. This predisposition emphasizes the appreciation of Kafka with reference to the diversity of meanings at various dimensions in linguistic and perspicacity categories existing in the psychic structure of Kafka this further authenticates linguistic and perceptive composition of Kafka's mind at abstract levels.
