This research critically explores the intersection between modern warfare technology and human rights through the lens of Sīrah al-Ṭayyibah and Islamic jurisprudence. The rapid advancement of military innovations such as drone strikes, artificial intelligence-based weaponry, cyber warfare, and autonomous defense systems has introduced complex ethical and legal dilemmas that challenge the compatibility of these practices with Islamic principles of justice, peace, and the sanctity of human life. Drawing upon Qur’anic injunctions, Prophetic traditions, and principles of Islamic law (fiqh al-jihād), the study critically examines how such technologies may conflict with Islamic moral values or, under certain conditions, be ethically regulated. It further highlights the Prophet Muhammad’s (ﷺ) humane and reconciliatory approach during warfare as a timeless model for restraint, mercy, and respect for human dignity. Ultimately, the research advocates for a comprehensive application of Islamic ethical frameworks to guide and govern the use of modern warfare technologies, ensuring accountability, justice, and the protection of human rights in all contexts.

This study presents an analytical examination of the concept of neutrality in inter-state relations in the light of the Sīrah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It explores how the Prophet’s diplomatic conduct, treaties, and interactions with diverse political entities reflected a principled form of neutrality grounded in justice, peaceful coexistence, and moral integrity.

By employing an analytical methodology, the study situates the Prophetic approach within contemporary international relations theory, emphasizing its relevance to modern diplomatic ethics. The findings highlight that neutrality in Islamic political thought is neither passive nor indifferent but a constructive instrument for peace, balance, and fairness among states. The study recommends that contemporary Muslim states adopt the Prophetic model of principled neutrality to promote global peace and ethical diplomacy.

This study explores the contemporary dimensions of interfaith harmony in Muslim societies through the lens of the prophetic biography (Sīrah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Despite the geographic and social proximity of diverse religious communities, a lack of mutual understanding and tolerance continues to threaten societal cohesion and global peace. The article argues that the Prophetic model offers a comprehensive and timeless framework for fostering peaceful coexistence and interreligious dialogue. Drawing upon historical instances—such as the Constitution of Madinah, the Treaty of Najran, and other Sīrah-based examples—the study highlights the Prophet’s principles of mutual respect, religious freedom, non-coercion in faith, and equitable treatment of non-Muslim minorities. The research examines how these principles can be actualized in the contemporary context to counter extremism and promote a welfare-oriented society. Furthermore, the article proposes that fostering shared moral values and common human dignity through dialogue and social integration is essential for maintaining peace and justice in Muslim-majority societies. It concludes by offering policy-level recommendations for scholars, media professionals, and religious leaders to enhance interfaith understanding in accordance with Islamic ethical teachings.

This study explores the subject of attire in Islamic jurisprudence, focusing on the Sharia rulings that govern it and its profound impact on the behavior, identity, and values of individuals and society. It begins by defining the concepts of libās (attire) and sulūk (behavior), and by tracing the significance of clothing, both physical and symbolic as mentioned in the Qur’an. The study also examines the descriptions and examples found in the Sunnah regarding the attire of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), thereby highlighting the prophetic model of modesty and decorum. Furthermore, the research elucidates the legal dimensions of covering one’s nakedness (awrah), outlining the various Sharia rulings related to permissible, recommended, and prohibited forms of clothing. Beyond jurisprudential discussions, the study investigates the broader ethical and social dimensions of attire, analyzing how Sharia-compliant dress influences moral behavior, personal identity, and the overall fabric of Muslim society. Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, this research addresses the central question: What are the Sharia rulings concerning attire, and how does clothing affect individual and collective conduct within a legal, moral, and social framework? The study ultimately underscores that attire is not merely an external expression of style or culture, but a reflection of faith, modesty, and moral consciousness, one that shapes the spiritual and social harmony of the Muslim community.

This research examines the concept of "Risk Management through the Prophetic Migration (Hijra)," presenting Prophetic strategic planning. The noble Prophetic Migration from Makkah to Madinah constitutes a pivotal juncture in Islamic history. This investigation is predicated upon a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted dimensions of risk management demonstrably present within the Prophetic Hijra blueprint. This encompasses an initial phase of proactive risk identification and assessment, followed by an elaborate proactive planning regimen designed to avert or mitigate potential adversities.

Ultimately, the plan culminated in the profound manifestation of reliance upon Divine Providence and celestial endorsement. The methodology employed herein entails a systematic dissection of the Hijra's sequential phases from the vantage point of contemporary risk management principles, drawing extensively from authoritative primary sources of Prophetic biography (Seerah) and Hadith. The overarching objective is to present this momentous historical narrative as an exhaustive managerial archetype, from which invaluable insights and applications may be derived for contemporary strategic planning endeavors.

This study explored the relationship between Prophet Muhammad’s (ﷺ) reconciliatory practices, spousal communication quality, and marital conflict, focusing on how communication mediates the link between reconciliatory behaviours and conflict. Rooted in marital relationship dynamics and guided by ethical principles demonstrated by Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), the research examined whether a decline in reconciliatory practices adversely affects communication and increases marital discord. The study was conducted in Peshawar using a purposive sample of 721 married individuals (359 females, 362 males) representing diverse age groups, educational backgrounds, and family types. Data were collected through validated self-report measures and analyzed using SPSS and AMOS, incorporating exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, structural equation modelling, and mediation testing. Findings revealed that low adherence to Prophetic reconciliatory practices was significantly associated with reduced spousal communication quality and increased marital conflict, with communication quality playing a strong mediating role. The study concludes that strengthening reconciliatory practices and communication skills can effectively promote marital harmony and stability.
