Religious discourses remained at the top in all corners of the world, addressing the issues that threaten peace of the world.

There are different models of interfaith dialogue emanating from theological, social and mission perspectives of religions and contemporary challenges of the modern world. Nature of theological perspective makes a difference in dealing with the followers of other religions, hence it is important to analyze theological factors involved in interfaith dialogue in both Muslim and Christian worlds. Concept of salvation is the major doctrine of theology that needs to be discussed in detail with reference to the perspectives of interfaith dialogue.

    Fredrick William Natshay or Allama Iqbal k tasawar e taqat ka taqabli mataliya
    (UMT, Lahore, 2020) Muhammad Ghayas
    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) gave a novel concept about ethics. He declared religious traditions and ethics superstitious. He attached morality with power and to strengthen his point of view declared God’s death. Moreover, he is of the view that the major duty of a person is to attain the power. The person who has more and more power is a real superman. In the days of Nietzsche, concept of evolution was the intellectual foundation of that age. After adding in Darwin’s theory, he said man must create a new race of human beings like superman. He thought that physical evolution has been completed however the process of psychological and ethical evolution must be carrying on. His three principles are well-known; first, replaced God with superman; secondly, man’s power instead of God’s blessing and finally urge to get more power and control instead of longing hereafter’s life.

    (UMT, Lahore, 2020) Sajid Anwar
    It is a fact that the two-nation theory was a very effective and timely needed ideology in the subcontinent. It was the strength and power of the ideology that attracted the Muslims of India to it. When Muslims were in power it was not a problem either because they had no hatred feeling for Hindus and the people of other religions of Indian. The non-Muslims were always been safe and the lives of individuals were secured in all aspects by Muslims in their regime. They had the freedom to live their individual and communal life freely; they were never forced to convert to Muslims’ religion ever. Their places of worship were safe and they had every kind of social protection. The war of independence 1857 was fought by both Muslims and Hindus together and both wanted the British expulsion from India. But history narrates that after the failure of the independence of movement; only Muslims were subjected to atrocities of the British in the subsequent. In the later years, both the British and Hindus turned against Muslims and butchered them. The two nation theory which came into existence right after it became the soulful soil of the concept of Pakistan. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, Syed Maududi, Allama Asad, Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanhvi, Liaquat Ali Khan and other prominent leaders had the same feeling that an Islamic state should be attained where the principles of Islam to be implemented. It was the sincerity of their visions that the independence was achieved eventually.

    Comparative Study of the Strategies of Jamat-e-Islami Pakistan (JIP) and Justice and Development Party Turkey (AKP)
    (UMT, Lahore, 2020) Muhammad Rafi
    Islamic activism is under radar of international academia since 1970s. Many contending views have been expressed by different circles on the phenomenon, however, still it is perceived as a negative development by many of the policy makers in the West. Mostly it is considered monolithic, totalitarian, anti-democratic, anti-western, against modernity and opposed to universal human rights. Recently there have been considerable efforts to contest this perception, especially through thick description of the Islamic actors. These studies have found many flaws in the prevailing essentialist views of this activism. Rather many similarities have been noted among the social and political actors worldwide. The present study was carried out on two of the prominent Islamic actors of the Islamic world i.e. Jama‘at-e-Islami Pakistan (JIP) and Justice and Development Party Turkey (AKP). It was to explore their views on democracy, women‘s role in public sphere, interaction with the West and the secular elements in their own countries. Moreover, it was to study the transformation of their policies on these issues with the passage of time.

    Contemporizing Christian Theological Trends in Pakistan An Analytical Critique of Christian Discourses Since 1970
    (2020) Farman Ali
    When Christianity came out from European peninsula and it was promulgated in Africa and Asia by the Christian missionaries under the patronage of colonial powers, Christian missionaries and theologians faced several problems in order to relate Christian message and faith because of the cultural diversity in their mission fields. In the beginning, they did not pay heed to their host cultures, religions and philosophical traditions however latter they realized that in order to relate Christian message with the lives of the new converts, there is an immense need to contemporize/contextualize Christian message in the indigenous cultures. So, they argued that that no theology is absolute and all the theologies, especially the western Christian theology, developed in the western environment is contextual and to incarnate Christian teachings and faith, they had to develop a theology relevant to the live of new converts. This study investigates the aspects of Christian theology developed in the particular context of Pakistan by using the methods of content analysis and semi-structured interviews.

    DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF RESPONSES TO POLITICAL MODERNITY IN TWENTIETH CENTURY MUSLIM SOUTH ASIA
    (UMT, Lahore, 2021) Shahid Rasheed
    This study seeks to explore the response by Muslims of South Asia to notions of political modernity in the twentieth century. I have divided the twentieth century into four separate time-frames defined by specific historical and intellectual contexts. Within each time frame, I identify religious leaders who aspired to transform the collective life of Muslims in South Asia. These people can be traditional ulama, intellectuals, Muslim modernist reformers and Islamist ideologues. Relating notions of Islamic modernism with their historical context and the agency of scholars and ulama, I attempt to develop an intellectual map of the twentieth century political Islam.

    ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE ON THE IDEOLOGY OF NEW ATHEISM
    (UMT, Lahore, 2021) Ataur Rehman
    Traditionally in atheism, the idea of God’s existence has been rejected via philosophical arguments only, but “new atheism” has reinforced this stance by giving scientific, moral, and historical arguments, and this addition of arguments has played a significant role in spreading atheism, including Muslims countries, across the globe. There is a long history of refutation of atheism by different religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Hinduism. Similarly, Muslim scholars also have rejected the beliefs of atheism but the academic community is not much familiar with this rejection. The objective of the study is to understand the emergence of ‘new atheism’ and to examine how new atheists have conceptualized the non-existence of God and the scientific moralities, and how Muslim scholars have responded (internal objective). By doing so, this study will put forward a theory and a method to study new atheism through the Islamic perspective (external objective). The study compares new atheist thinkers with Muslim scholars and analyzes the differences. The study also traces the history of atheism in the Western world with a special focus on the Muslim world.
