This paper delves into the historical evolution of marriage laws within the Islamic and Western contexts, highlighting the distinctive cultural, religious, and socio-political factors that have shaped each system. By examining the historical background, this comparative study aims to elucidate the divergent paths taken by Islamic and Western societies in regulating marriage and family life.In the Islamic tradition, marriage is deeply rooted in religious teachings, with Quranic principles and Prophetic traditions serving as the foundation for legal frameworks governing marital relationships. The concept of marriage as a sacred bond ordained by God, encompassing rights and responsibilities for both spouses, has influenced Islamic jurisprudence throughout history. The evolution of Islamic marriage law reflects a balance between religious injunctions, customary practices, and socio-cultural norms, adapting to diverse regional contexts while retaining core principles of equity and justice.Contrastingly, the development of Western marriage laws has been influenced by a complex interplay of religious, philosophical, and legal traditions. From the Roman institution of marriage to the Christian sacrament and subsequent secularization, the Western conception of marriage has undergone significant transformations over centuries. Legal codes, such as those derived from Roman law, canon law, and later civil law, have shaped the contractual nature of marriage, emphasizing individual rights, property, and inheritance.This analysis explores key historical milestones, including the codification of marriage laws, the impact of colonialism and globalization, and contemporary debates surrounding marriage equality and gender rights. While both Islamic and Western traditions have sought to regulate marital unions and family structures, they have diverged in their approaches, reflecting distinct worldviews and social norms.By examining the historical trajectories of Islamic and Western marriage laws, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the cultural, religious, and legal dynamics that continue to influence contemporary debates and practices surrounding marriage and family life in diverse societies.

Accountability is a divine practice, where humans, as Allah's stewards, are sent for a period as representatives to implement divine commands, forming the basis for judgment in the afterlife. It is inherent to all revealed and non-revealed religions and laws.Personal, familial, societal, cultural, and civilizational accountability encompass the various dimensions of this process, affecting individuals and spanning past and future generations. Starting with the creation of Prophet Adam, accountability evolved through a sequence, reaching its pinnacle during the era of the final Prophet Prophet Muhammad imparted principles and guidelines of accountability, applying them across all facets of society and removing obstacles on its path. Understanding the principles and types of accountability is crucial, as the Quran and Sunnah guide us in this matter. Ignoring foundational principles hinders the attainment of accurate results.

The study of the Prophet's biography, known as Seerat, has been ongoing for centuries, but Western cultural influences have given rise to a new trend in Seerat studies. Muslim biographers have transitioned from narrating historical events to focusing on the practical aspects of the Prophet's life. This shift has not only expanded the breadth of Seerat literature but has also introduced new methodologies and approaches.On one hand, there has been a proliferation in the literature exploring the practical dimensions of Seerat, while on the other hand, a new style and methodology have become prevalent. Muslims, benefiting from practical guidance in their daily lives, have also found solutions to contemporary economic, social, political, cultural, national, international, and ideological challenges through Seerat.This evolving trend has led to the emergence of a new discipline called "Fiqh al-Seerah." This approach aims to derive insights, wisdom, morals, practical lessons, and general guidelines from the events and life of the Prophet. This interdisciplinary method not only enriches Seerat literature but also provides solutions to modern issues illuminated by the teachings of Seerat.The benefits of this approach are evident, as it has gained popularity in both Arab and non-Arab regions. The newfound methodology, known as Fiqh al-Seerah, has become a prominent feature in Seerat literature, serving as a guide for Muslims in various aspects of life and addressing contemporary challenges through the lens of Seerat.This paper highlights that the book written under the title of Fiqh al-Seerah by Dr. Muhammad Al-Salabi cover a wide range of topics, including treaties, military expeditions, national and international military and organizational principles, benefits, and laws. The findings of this research article contribute to a nuanced understanding of Hazrat Muhammad's seerat, offering insights that can inform interfaith dialogue, foster cultural understanding, and promote a deeper appreciation of the Prophet's legacy. The article concludes with reflections on the enduring significance of studying the seerat of Hazrat Muhammad in the pursuit of global harmony, justice, and compassion.

The nature has been put subservient to the man by Allah Almighty and the Islam being a natural religion puts utmost emphasis on guiding its followers for living such a life which is not harmful for the nature and environment. Actually, all the natural resources have been created by Allah Almighty for the comfort and wellbeing of mankind. The life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is replete with the sayings and incidents when he practically highlighted the importance of protecting the weak and natural environment. He instructed the Muslims to never harm the beasts of burden, birds, trees and all the living creatures which do not harm the human being. Therefore, there is no doubt that different types of pollution can be not only handled but also eradicated by following the guidelines related to the cleanliness and hygienic lifestyle given by our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Taking care of children and taking care of their rights is one of the important responsibilities of parents, guardians, and other members of the society and the state. When one in them lacks behind in responsibilities, as a result, the child involves in crimes and gets stuck in different dangerous swamp. In Islam, there is a command to deal with children with compassion and gentleness. The one who punishes a child without any reason will be punished severely and will be given penalty. As a precaution, it is not permissible to punish children without committing any mistake. However, there is a concept of punishing children in Islam for committing mistakes. It is very important to keep the child's psychology and age in mind while giving punishment. It is forbidden to punish the child for a small mistake. It is ordered to adopt a gradual method while giving punishment to the children. Children can only be punished by hand. It is not permissible to hit with a stick etc. The condition for hitting with the hand is also that it should not be more than three times. It is strictly prohibited to hit the body with such force that the body becomes scarred or injured or a bone is broken. It is not permissible to hit the sensitive parts of the body (face, stomach, pubic area, etc.). In case of coercion, the child can also be punished with imprisonment.
