Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used to investigate and research the facts about the Islamization process and the struggle of women against it. The memoirs and interviews of participating women activists, scholars, and other leading figures have also been consulted to fill the leftover scholarly gap. Pakistan is predominantly a feudal and tribal nation with patriarchal beliefs and mindsets. In the South Asian region, religion has always played an essential role in the lives of ordinary men and women, although women have been enslaved and dominated in the name of religion far more than males.

Abstract The inevitability and significance of Ijtihad has been obvious at all times and is still evolving as per necessity. Amongst two illustrious procedures of ijtihad; Ghair-mansos-minun-nuss (indirectly derived from Quran and Sunnah) includes Istihasan, Masalih Mursala, and Maqasid Shari’ah. From all these; Maqasid Shari'ah and the procedures of deriving masails (finding solutions to the newly arise problems) using it, are imperative and advantageous as well as deep-rooted to be precise, as the probability of committing a gaffe is significantly high. Hence, it is indispensable to acquire a comprehensive understanding of Maqasid Shari'ah and its evolution, and procedures for deducing Masails using it. Since its inception, Maqasid Shari'ah evolved to its current prominence through long, continuous and valued miscellany discourses. Time has come where all those diverse researched are to be made modest for vibrant understanding of it; bringing forward the valuable researches of scholars at different times and moreover error-free inference of its rules. This article broadly particularizes Maqasid Shariah, its significance, its evolution, and procedures for rules inference, using prominent wide-ranging illustrations. Key words: Ghair-mansos-minun-nuss, Mujtahid, Masalih Mursala, Maqasid Shari’ah, Masails

Among the Jews, The Old Testament has the same status as the status of The Holy Quran for the Muslims. According to the Jews, God gave Moses (AS) the Bible as a scripture and also gave him another oral law. The oral law is passed down from generation to generation through the elders and the oral law is definite and obligatory for the Jews. The Jewish scholars believe that oral law provides the complete interpretation of Jewish sharī‘ah. This oral law was handed over to Yūsha‘ bin Nūn by Moses (AS), its initial script is called Mishnā which was published in 70 CE. The description of Mishnā is called Gemārā which was published in 200 CE. The combination of script (Mishnā) and its description (Gemārā) is called Talmud which was published in 400 to 500 CE. Talmud is considered to be the most authoritative text for the Jews. This article will give a brief overview of all volumes of Mishnā. These volumes include Zerēm (order of seeds), Mo‘id (festivals), Nashīm (Women), Nazīkīn (demages), Kedāshīm (holy ones), and Tohūrat (purities). This article will provide enough discussions in making researchers understand the theme of Talmud.
