The Silent Cry of the Newborns By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal Indeed, Allah, the Most High, is the protector and sustainer of this entire universe, as He Himself declares in the Holy Qur’an: “Allah is the Protector of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light” (Al-Baqarah 2:257). After the divine decree, human beings are charged with a share in the preservation of life, acting within the limits of their understanding, authority, and the trusts placed upon them. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,…

From Family Discipline to National Defence by Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal After creating man, Allah Almighty included within his nature an administrative structure for the family, whereby he might continue the journey of life according to the needs of his age. With the passage of time this structure was obliged to expand; the family pressed onward and at length arrived at the threshold of the state. In the present family order, while the grandfather yet lives he is acknowledged head of the house, and his permission and consent enter into all…

Educating Daughters, Protecting Their Dignity by Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal Every parent cherishes the hope of bestowing upon their children an education superior to that which circumstance once permitted them, believing that knowledge alone can lift a family from the constraints of limited means and open doors long closed. Islam itself places the highest value upon learning, for the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) declared that the seeking of knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim, male and female alike. The first revealed word of the Holy Qur’an was “Iqra”—Read—and this…
Read MoreUN Security Council Reform: Why Permanent Privilege Should Not Be Expanded
Reforming the Security Council Without Entrenching Privilege by Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal The United Nations was founded in 1945 after the League of Nations had failed to preserve peace. Its Security Council was designed for the world that emerged from the Second World War, with five permanent members holding the veto and a small number of elected seats.

Read MoreWhat Have We Returned? A Reflection on Pakistan’s Independence and National Responsibility
What Have We Returned? by Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal Pakistan was achieved on the fourteenth of August in the year nineteen hundred and forty-seven, after sacrifices of a magnitude that still stir the soul and a struggle whose tirelessness remains an enduring lesson. Millions crossed borders in those turbulent months, leaving behind ancestral homes, familial graves, and the familiar soil of generations, so that a new homeland might rise where Muslims could live according to their faith and their free will. We stand now upon the threshold of the eighth decade…
Read MorePakistan, Partners and Perception: From RCD to the Makkah Defence Agreement
Pakistan, Partners and Perception by Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal Time is a stern teacher of nations. It changes the character of alliances, reshapes national priorities and repeatedly reminds states that geography is destiny only when political wisdom knows how to use it. Countries may differ in ideology, resources and ambitions, yet history repeatedly brings them to the same conclusion; in an uncertain world, security and prosperity are rarely achieved in isolation. Sixty-two years ago, Pakistan, Iran and Turkey confronted a similar question. In July 1964, the three regional members of the…
Read MoreDefending Pakistan with Prophetic Guidance: Islam, Justice and National Unity
Defending Pakistan with Prophetic Guidance by Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal In the shadowed epochs before the dawn of Islam, the affairs of mankind were beset by profound confusion and moral clutter. The pursuit of ethical values, the recognition of basic human rights, the establishment of social equality, and the fair administration of justice remained fragmented ideals, often trampled beneath tyranny, tribal feuds, and unchecked passions. It fell to the boundless mercy of Almighty Allah to illuminate this darkness through His divine word, the Holy Quran, which brought order, harmony, and clarity…

Martyrdom and National Rebirth: The Iranian People’s Enduring Struggle The history of Iranian civilisation unfolds as one of the grandest tapestries in the story of mankind, spanning more than two thousand five hundred years of recorded glory and endurance.
