ENGLISH: Illuminating Human Psyche: A Comparative Analysis of Similarities in Ghazalian Theory of Soul and Freudian Psychoanalysis

There have been several theories in the Western world, highlighting various features of human mind, but none of them seems to present the whole truth. The richness and diverse outlook of human experience makes it imperative to look for a model, which contributes in better and all-encompassing understanding of human nature. The present study intends to provide the venue to the spiritual insights of Ghazalian thought to be incorporated into the study of Freudian psychoanalysis, with its central focus on the similarities between them. Besides the current study proceeds from the assumption that though Freudian psychonalytic theory has provided insightful psychological interpretations, equally appropriate readings result from analyzing Ghazalian theory of soul. This study follows the descriptive and analytic methodology to investigate the similarities in both the models and has been developed according to the guidelines provided by Zepetnek’s (1998) theory of comparative literature. This analytical approach may lead to an alternative critical agenda for the better understanding of human psyche. In addition, it is also hoped that the insights yielded by this research study may develop into new forms of understanding in the realm of psychology.

ENGLISH: Warm and Cold Sources of Conflict and Conflict Resolution in Abrahamic/Semitic Traditions

All the three Abrahamic religions are considered as the monotheistic sources of violence around the globe. The Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments are criticized for encouraging radical religiosity, chauvinism and othering leading to violence in the name of religion while the Quran is blamed for promoting highly political religion which encourages violence in the name of Jihad. Both the militant movements affiliated to these religions and their leftist critics cherry-pick the verses of these holy books and demonstrate them as the religious grounds of radicalism leading to violent extremism. The current endeavor highlights such “warm” sources from the main religious books of these religions which can be/are used to promote violence and become sources of conflicts. It is opined that such sources are highly contextual, and not meant to be generalized in every situation. On the other hand, “cold” sources from these religious books are also unearthed as the timeless teachings of these religions which are both eternal and meant to be propagated to general public for the nurturing the society on peaceful and cooperative grounds so that they avoid conflicts in the first place and even if conflicts do arise, resolve them nobly.

URDU: ” قطعی الدلالۃ “اور” ظنی الدلالۃ “کے تصورکا اطلاقی پہلو تفسیر تفہیم القرآن اور تدبر قرآن کی روشنی میں ایک تقابلی مطالعہ

Holy Quran consists of the words and phrases with multiple connotations. On the issue of multiplicity and variation in the meanings of the Qur'anic words, there are diverse approaches adopted by Muslim scholars. Some of the researcher believe that a Quranic verse can be interpreted in more than one way, this phenomena of interpretation is called “Zanni-ul-Dalalah”, while the other group of scholars claim that the Quranic verses contain a fixed interpretation and don’t have provision of any other meaning, this type of interpretation is called “Qati-ul-Dalalah”. In the nineteenth century, Hamid-ud-Din al-Farahi put forward another theory that every word, sentence, and verse of the Qur'an has a definite meaning, and no other meaning or interpretation is correct, so in his view point whole quranic text is “Qati-ul-Dalalah”. Tafseer “Tafheem ul Quran” by Abu-ala –almawdoodi belongs to 1st category, i.e. Quranic verses may contain more than one meaning, while Tafseer “Tadabbur-e-Quran” by Ameen Ahsan Islahi is written on “Qati-ul-Dalalah” approach. So the author has compared the both approaches & concluded that the claim of “Qati-ul-Dalalah” in Quranic verses is not correct rather than the view point of the majority scholars (Jamhor Ulama) is quite perfect. The correct concept of interpretation is that, “some of the verses are definite, but we can’t deny the importance of external references along with additional information which is seldom required to understand the complete sense of the verses”.
