The Story of Humans – Final Season

The author had written academic books contributing scholarly to the theory of civilizational decline and Islam’s position on human slavery, both at the individual level and collective level in the form of dynastic and authoritarian rule. In his later part of life, the author has shown a sublime way of writing which emphasizes the moral conduct in personal and social choices. With both an inclination as well as proficiency in literary writings, the author has produced life-changing novels in Urdu which have been translated in English as well. These novels are not only a unique addition to the propagation of Tawheed, but also are a unique addition to Urdu literature where the genre of novel is limited to romantic and thriller storytelling.

Highlights of World Inequality Report 2026

The number of billionaires has surpassed 3,000, with Elon Musk becoming the first person to hold over half a trillion dollars in wealth. However, this extreme wealth concentration is happening amidst widespread hunger, with one in four people globally facing food insecurity. The issue isn’t just the lavish spending of billionaires, but how they use their wealth to influence politics, governments, and media, undermining democracy and fairness. As US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said, ‘We must make our choice. Either we can have extreme wealth in the hands of the few, or we can have democracy. We cannot have both’. This report is about that choice.

Remembering Royal Prof. Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas

Prof. Dr. Naquib at Attas lived a prolific scholarly life which spanned almost a century. One of the pioneer figures in Islamisation, Decolonisation and Desecularization literature. He shared his profound thoughts in his books and public lectures. He provided deeply profound critique of contemporary philosophies of his time and how to respond by not copying rather than deconstructing, decolonising, desecularizing and embracing the ideals, values and principles of Islamic revealed knowledge as foundation. May Allah bless him for his tremendous contributions and mentoring generations of Muslims relentlessly, devotedly and wholeheartedly.

Environmental Sustainability in the Prophetic Sunnah: A Foresight Perspective

The author argues that the Sunnah presented a forward-thinking model long before the modern concept of sustainability emerged. This model emphasizes resource preservation, responsible consumption, and the protection of future generations’ rights. Unlike modern secular models, the Sunnah is argued to provide a holistic framework that integrates spiritual, moral, and practical dimensions into environmental care. The author argues that environmental protection is an inherent part of the higher objectives of Islamic law (Maqasid al-Shariah), specifically the preservation of the five essentials: religion, life, intellect, progeny, and wealth.
