Volume 2

The second volume, Islamic Philosophy of Life, offers a clear and inspiring presentation of Islam’s holistic worldview. Centered on tauheed, it shows how faith shapes human psychology, ethics, and purpose. Through the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ exemplary life and the Qur’anic vision of accountability and the afterlife, the book presents a coherent moral framework. It invites readers to embrace a balanced, meaningful, and spiritually fulfilling philosophy of life.

Volume 1

The first volume, Religion in Modern Age, examines Islam as a holistic worldview that reconciles faith and reason while restoring unity to fragmented modern life. It critiques secularism, materialism, and individualism for engendering moral and existential crises, and contrasts them with Islam’s integrated spiritual, ethical, and social order. Drawing on revelation and history, it presents Islam as a timeless yet dynamic paradigm for moral renewal and civilizational harmony.

Humanity stands today at a civilizational crossroads to rediscover their identity, character, and future in line with their religion and the contemporary needs of humanity. In the increasing interaction of different faiths and ideologies in the post-modernist environment, Islam is not often represented and understood in its comprehensiveness. “Islamic Paradigm of Life” by Professor Khurshid Ahmad helps understand the distinction of Islam as a paradigm of life (deen). Written in the context of modern and traditional streams of knowledge, the book touches upon diverse realms of theology, philosophy, and policy with a rational approach.

Written by the renowned scholar Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmad, ‘Women and Social Justice: An Islamic Paradigm’ is the collaborated effort of Institute of Policy Studies and The Islamic Foundation, UK. This monograph is an effort to understand the nature of gender issue in view of the gross misinformation about women’s issues in Pakistan and elsewhere. Referring to some basic assumptions about women’s status in the beginning, the book proceeds on to examine the social, moral and legal issues that are being debated in the contemporary society particularly in the context of the introduction of hudud laws in Pakistan. With the realization that the women situation is marred by injustice, the writer seeks out prescription from Islam while stressing the need to develop an Islamic paradigm that is based on Qur’an and Sunnah and takes into consideration the realities of life in contemporary Muslim society.
