Religious texts are texts which various religions consider to be of central importance to their religious tradition. Islamic texts are believed to be the sacred source of law for the entire humanity. Therefore, religious texts i.e. Quran, Hadith, Sufi text, Islamic history & culture etc. are included as a mandatory course (Islamic Studies) in the curriculum of higher education Institutions in Pakistan. Translation of the Holy Quran is also taught separately at undergraduate level in some of the provinces as a mandatory course in HEI. The core objective of such courses is to add value education and the character building of future generation. Such courses, of course, has positive impacts regarding awareness and mindfulness. However, it has some negative response regarding adoption of radicalism and extremism. The paper aims to attempt in discussing the need of value education with questions that how religious texts impacts on the students in Pakistani society, whether religious texts are shaping a moderate or radical society and how the religious texts can have more positive impacts on the students regarding value education.

Poets in the Arab countries still send praises about the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and depict his heroism, generosity, the beauty of his character, the greatness of his morals, and the sublimity of his message. We cannot do justice to these poets by mentioning them, presenting their poetry, and criticizing it. Rather, we suffice with glossing over it to prove that this type of literature has not ceased from pre-Islamic times to our present era.

Keywords: the Prophet, Poets in the Arab, Arabic literature, pre-Islamic era.

Meanwhile, cutting hair with modern tools has no problem. This issue is very essential and importance therefore I want to disclose its religious and legal verdict to people.

Finally, I would better say that modern tools should be used with much concentration and full attention

On a global scale, an important driving force in the unfolding transformation was the nurtured organization of Judaism, Freemasonry, whose purpose was to bring about the establishment of a free Jewish state in Palestine by inducing Turkish dying men into the embrace of death so that the resurgence of Greater Israel and the renaissance of Judaism could be initiated. Furthermore, its aim was to provide non-Jews with opportunities to step freely into every sphere of life by eliminating all kinds of privileges against Jews. Freemasonry mentally and physically fashioned non-Jews into a harness of Jewish destinies and built a collective mentality of Jewish philosophy and thought, generating sympathy for Jews, overseeing their interests, and engraving the greatness of Israel in their minds. Keeping this perspective in mind, we now present a brief introduction to Freemasonry in a question-and-answer format. We have also presented the Freemasons' viewpoint for clarification and provided its response.

This study seeks to monitor the mythological elements in Urdu ghazal, by monitoring the cultural dimensions of the myth and its reflections in Urdu ghazal in general, and Shakib Jalali’s ghazal in particular. The researcher has tried to present a vision of the mythical discourse in Urdu ghazal since its first inception at the hands of the first Urdu poets. To the image it has reached today in modern and contemporary Urdu ghazal, which is naturally linked to a new view of myth as a literary and cultural phenomenon linked to the nature of the development of societies and thus the development of creative arts.

The study also reveals the diversity of methods of employing mythological elements in Urdu yarn, and the multiplicity of tributaries of Urdu myth, which derived its first data from ancient Hindu myths.
