The Rise of Islamic Civilisation: Lessons from History and the Imperatives of the Present Age
History is not merely a chronicle of events consigned to the irretrievable past; it is a mirror in which the rise and decline of human societies, the ordering of their intellectual priorities, and the consequences of their collective decisions are reflected. Within its accumulated wisdom lie intimations of the future and the means by which...
Who Shall Hold the Reins of the Future?
Let us suppose that, one morning, the world awakens to the announcement that artificial intelligence has successfully passed every examination by which mankind has hitherto presumed to measure the reach of its own intellect. It can traverse billions of pages of accumulated knowledge, examine millions of decisions, anticipate economic tendencies, map the prospective spread of...
Capital Punishment and the Questions of Diplomacy
A State’s commitment to the rule of law is tested not simply by its willingness to punish those found guilty of an offence, but by the fairness and transparency with which justice is administered. When a judicial decision ends in the taking of a human life, the evidence on which the verdict rests, the opportunity...
New province, new unit or a new system?
Pakistan has entered its 79th year as a state. Eight decades have brought changes in constitutional arrangements, governments, administrative boundaries and centres of power.

The Prophetic Political Ethos: A Message for the Contemporary Age
Throughout the vast theatre of history, innumerable thrones have risen, countless crowns have glittered, and empires intoxicated by the magnificence of their own power have cast their shadows across successive ages; yet the inexorable dust of time has effaced the traces of them all. There arose, however, one polity whose authority rested less upon the...
The Stalwart of Urdu Who Transformed a Language into an Institution
Let us summon before the mind’s eye that Karachi evening of 16 August 1961, when an aged scholar, having traversed the final confines of his mortal existence, departed upon the irreversible journey towards eternity. The city, indifferent to the magnitude of the moment, continued its accustomed rhythm: traffic coursed along its thoroughfares, markets remained animated,...
The New Era of Maritime Power
“Indeed, the laws of history do not remain confined to their original forms; rather, they renew themselves in different manifestations.” The study of history bears witness to the fact that the destiny of civilizations is not always determined amid the dust and turmoil of battlefields. More often, it is inscribed in the silent waves of...
Al-Andalus: The Rise of Knowledge and the Decline of Thought
Walking through the cities of Granada, Córdoba, and Seville in Al-Andalus is not merely an act of visiting historical sites; rather, it is an encounter with the remnants of a grand civilizational narrative that once reshaped human thought. The silent minarets, stone arches, and vast courtyards of these cities are not only symbols of a...
