The Muslim Speaks

By: Khurram Hussain

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Muslim Speaks

By: Khurram Hussain

The Muslim Speaks reimagines Islam as a strategy for investigating the modern condition. Rather than imagining it as an issue external to a discrete West, Khurram Hussain constructs Islam as internal to the elaboration and expansion of the West. In doing so he reveals three discursive traps – that of 'freedom', 'reason' and 'culture' – that inhibit the availability of Islam as a feasible, critical interlocutor in Western deliberations about moral, intellectual and political concerns. Through close examination of this inhibition, Hussain posits that while Islamophobia is clearly a moral wrong, 'depoliticization' more accurately describes the problems associated with the lived experience of Muslims in the West and elsewhere. Weaving together his conclusions in the hope of a common world, Khurram Hussain boldy and quite radically deems that what Islam needs is not depoliticization, but infact repoliticization.

Contracting Fear

Islamic Law in the Middle East and Middle America

By: Khurram Dara

If you've ever read a news story about radical Islam, you've probably seen "sharia law" mentioned. But for something that is becoming increasingly prevalent in political rhetoric, it's hard to believe how little most people actually know about Islamic law. In this concise and instructive book, Khurram Dara explains not only the history and origins of Islamic law but also the interesting role it has played in the politics of the Middle East and Middle America. Challenging the conventional wisdom that Islamic law is rigid and permanent, Dara argues that the political and cultural realities of its formation suggest otherwise and should change how Islamic law is thought of and discussed in both the East and the West. Combining religious history with legal analysis, Contracting Fear explains Islamic law in the context of the global political climate today.

Islam as Critique

By: Khurram Hussain

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Islam as Critique

Sayyid Ahmad Khan and the Challenge of Modernity

By: Khurram Hussain

What would it mean to imagine Islam as an immanent critique of the West? Sayyid Ahmad Khan lived in a time of great tribulation for Muslim India under British rule. By examining Khan's work as a critical expression of modernity rooted in the Muslim experience of it, Islam as Critique argues that Khan is essential to understanding the problematics of modern Islam and its relationship to the West. The book re-imagines Islam as an interpretive strategy for investigating the modern condition, and as an engaged alternative to mainstream Western thought. Using the life and work of nineteenth-century Indian Muslim polymath Khan (1817-1898), it identifies Muslims as a viable resource for both critical intervention in important ethical debates of our times and as legitimate participants in humanistic discourses that underpin a just global order. Islam as Critique locates Khan within a broader strain in modern Islamic thought that is neither a rejection of the West, nor a wholesale acceptance of it. The author calls this “Critical Islam”. By bringing Khan's critical engagement with modernity into conversation with similar critical analyses of the modern by Reinhold Niebuhr, Hannah Arendt, and Alasdair MacIntyre, the author shows how Islam can be read as critique.

By: Khurram Shahzad Siddiqui

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Security of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)

Counterinsurgency in Balochistan

By: Khurram Shahzad Siddiqui

This book analyses the strategic and economic significance of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), with a particular focus on the region of Balochistan. Given the history of multiple insurgencies that the Pakistani Military has confronted in Balochistan, the book examines the region's intricate conflict ecosystem and security landscape, which poses potential threats to the CPEC. Structured chronologically, the book traces the evolution of the Pakistani Army's counterinsurgency practices inherited in 1947 from the British Indian Army's culture of fighting small wars through to the contemporary counterinsurgency (COIN) adaptation in the ‘war on terror’, and afterwards, to the fifth round of the Balochistan insurgency. The analysis centres on the development of counterinsurgency theory and practice by the Pakistani Army. It empirically investigates the efficacy of the COIN strategy in Balochistan. The author argues that the approach significantly changed after conceptualising the doctrine, especially from 2016 onwards, from ‘butcher and bolt’ to the inclusion of critical components like political primacy, affect-based and focused use of force, ‘winning hearts and minds’ and rules of engagement. As a result, there was reduced violence and an increased number of insurgent surrenders. The book concludes that the Pakistani Army has largely controlled the insurgency in Balochistan. However, simultaneously, there is an urgent need to reduce tangible support to the insurgents through porous borders and implement an effective strategy to sever the nexus between the Islamic State of Khorasan (ISKP) and the Baloch insurgent organisations, as well as the sectarian militant organisations in Balochistan province. This is crucial to ending the insurgency and ensuring the security of CPEC. A novel contribution to the study of counterinsurgency and the importance of CPEC to China’s foreign policy and diplomacy, as well as its effects on the conflict dynamics in Balochistan, the book will be of interest to researchers studying War and Conflict Studies, Terrorism Studies, International Relations, Security and Strategic Studies, and South Asian and Chinese Studies.

Impacts of Manipulative Advertising on the Consumer Perceptions of Ready-To-Eat Foods Market in London

By: Muhammad Khurram

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: A, BPP University, language: English, abstract: An appeal of the consumers for ready to eat-RTE products is forecasted to grow fast in next five years because consumers are demanding more because of its convenient availability, premium quality, along with textural properties and exciting flavours (FMI, 2016). This sector achieves many milestones in recent years, for example, an extrusion technology was extensively used in producing RTE snacks or cereals because of operating ease and also the ability to create different shapes and texture that appeal to the eyes of consumers. However, several existing products of RTE are relatively higher in salt and sugar, hence, is considered as energy dense yet lack of nutrients in food. Nevertheless, some potential for manipulating exists in the nutritional status of RTEs through altering the potential of digestion of protein and starch, and also through the incorporation of some bioactive elements like dietary fibre. Thus, current observation and review of articles have explored many new types of research and studies in this area and illustrates many opportunities through which global industry of food could react actively to the requirements of consumers for the healthful snack of RTE products in future years. The consumer perceptions about the impact of advertisements on purchase behaviour are the vital field of research. The analysis will disclose the extent to which manipulative advertising is successful in portraying RTE foods as a healthy replacement of the home-cooked meal.

The impact of change management on employee’s engagement during mergers and acquisitions in Hire Vehicle Industry of UK. The case study of IRide

By: Muhammad Khurram

Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A, BPP University, language: English, abstract: The outcomes of M&A strategies not only reflected in the organisational performance but the employees in the merged organisation also get affected. Ngyuen and Kleiner, (2003) added that confusion and lack of surety are observed in employees in the post-merger situation as they become unsure of their future in the new organisation. Moreover, the issues created due to the role conflicts and uncertainty can lead to increased turnover and increased expectation from the job I new organisation (Hewitt, 2013). Thus, the merger of ride compares in the UK also resulted in the formation of a new Company iRide. Therefore, the level of employees’ commitment and their engagement in iRide need further exploration. Seo and Hill (2003) added that participation in decision making and drastic changes in organisational policies make it difficult for employees to stay intact with their roles and responsibilities. Hence, the individual and organisational productivity are normally questioned in post-merger situations. Thus, it is essential to evaluate the existing commitments and expectations of employees with the new organisation. The policy makers of iRide aimed at resolving raised issues and problems from the fleet of 850 plus drivers and other employees.

Waqf in Islamic Economics and Finance

An Instrument for Socioeconomic Welfare

By: Muhammad Ayub,Khurram Khan,Muhammad Ismail

Waqf is emerging globally as a distinctive institution, serving as a vital bridge between societal and economic needs, and resource allocation. Waqfs functioning in some parts of the world, of a variety of assets such as cash, stocks, securities, intellectual property rights, and other financial instruments by individual, institutional, and corporate wāqifs, are paving the way for financial and social inclusion. This book explains how the system of awqāf leads to welfare in society by facilitating financial and social intermediation. It describes waqf in accessible terms, focusing on how it helps people, communities, and nations, and how it can help make societies equitable, peaceful, efficient, and more prosperous. It comprises eight key themes, including a brief overview of the historical role of waqf in various periods in Muslim societies in socioeconomic sectors; the evolutionary aspects of waqf as an institution; the role of waqf in promoting entrepreneurship; the role of awqāf system in an economy by facilitating financial and social intermediation; potential options for using waqf as financial intermediation; an overview of the management and regulation of waqf entities; the organizational and legal framework for the institution of waqf; and key findings and recommendations for realizing the capacity of waqf in the pursuit of socioeconomic welfare. Specifically, the book takes Pakistan as a case study. This research-oriented book is tailored to readers interested in understanding the fundamental concepts of Islamic finance and social welfare, without requiring a background in the discipline. It caters to academics, researchers, policymakers, and those keen on exploring the transformative potential of waqf to achieve societal welfare and shared economic growth.

Citizen and Non-Citizen Surveillance in Australia. Where is it justified?

By: Khurram Khan

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: Higher Distinction, University of Melbourne, language: English, abstract: Government surveillance is turning out to be a great interference into privacy not only of non-citizens, but also of citizens. The primary argument is the basic legal standard, which should be applied on the two specific cohorts (i.e. citizens and non-citizens), to rationalize the major state duties and rights of residents. This reflective essay discusses successively diverse, significant factors that create an understanding of the policies and regulations concerning the national surveillance policy of Australia. The subject would be explained through description and core analysis of; government responsibilities in the light of liberty, protection and trust to shape policies; identification of privacy as a fundamental human right; use of technology as a tool for surveillance; surveillance of citizens as potential suspects; surveillance of non citizens in threat of shipped terrorism; and future aspects of changing levels of monitoring. Finally, in the conclusion, the laid arguments and examples would lead the subject to identify the basic legal standards, which should be applied to government’s surveillance of their citizens and their non-citizens.

Factors influencing the female consumers’ attitude and purchasing behaviour of functional foods in UK

By: Muhammad Khurram

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: A, ( Middlesex University in London ), language: English, abstract: Functional food products or diets are classified on the basis of the one or more unique aspect or benefit to the body functions further than the normal nutritional benefits of the food to the human body (Khan, et al 2013). Though the growth rate of the global food industry declined in recent decades the growth rate of functional food recorded at 10% to 15% per annum in the UK. Moreover, the functional foods annual turnover forecasted to reach £1.4bn in the UK in 2012. Additionally, the rate of increase in the consumption of dietary functional products is significant in the UK in recent years. In view of this significant value of functional foods in the UK market, it is important to understand the implication of external and internal influences of the consumers purchasing behaviour. Hence, this proposal addresses important issues to be discussed in the proposed research.

A Righteous Heart

The Axis of One's Deeds

By: Khurram Murad

Examining the depths of our personality and character, this essay analyses the extremely important role played by the "heart" in guiding one's intellect, comprehension, emotions, wisdom, perception, thought, responsibility and deeds/actions towards righteousness.This is a translation into English of Khurram Murad's book "Dil ki Zindagi" which was written originally in Urdu. The translation by Kazi Zulkader Siddiqui has tried to bring out the true meanings and connotations through explanations and usage of the English idiom.The essay is centered on the Arabic word "qalb" or "dil" in Urdu. The closest literal translation of the word in English is "heart". Khurram Murad has very beautifully brought out the different meanings, connotations and implications of "qalb" as understood through the Qur'ān and ḥadīth.One of the key elements of our demise today is this move away from the center of our conscience which lies in the qalb. As we race solely towards worldly benefits, Muslims at large have forsaken the essential principles of ethics and human values that emanate from this inner self. The core of the Qur'ānic values have been forgotten from our lives. While our tongues seem to ritualistically repeat the holy words liturgically, our actions are no longer dictated by the qalb. The fiṭra (instincts and laws of nature endowed to us by God) with which we were born is lost in the maze of worldly glitter.The translator Kazi Zulkader Siddiqui has tried to give a clearer understanding to the reader on what to expect in the text. The heart or qalb is the epicenter of all of man's goodness or misdeeds. It is the fulcrum of the essence of man, regulating his inner conscience and the goodness of his personality - to bring out the best in him. Such a man is righteous, and so is his qalb.
