The economists throughout the history have attempted to address the issues of poverty, inflation and economic instability in conventional economic systems like capitalism and socialism. The fact remains undeniable that so far these sincere efforts have not been able to achieve the goal of social well-being and economic prosperity. Islamic Economics is a relatively new paradigm and based on revelation and moral values which are new concept in conventional economic systems. In the research article, it has been discussed in a logical and deductive method from the sources of Quran and Sunnah that how Islamic Economics addresses the issue of economic problem. Moreover, how the relative scarcity of economic resources has been discussed in Islamic economics. The paper concludes that it is not the issue of relative scarcity and shortage of the resources that causes the economic problems, but it is the secular way of thinking based on greed, faithlessness, materialistic approach, selfishness and immoral behaviour of the people which creates problems.

So, its understanding is necessary in the way that is closest to the meaning of Allah Almighty. That is why, the highest level of understanding of Glorious Qur'ān is Tafsīr al۔Qur'ān with the Holy Qur'ān. Then, the best and standard source of interpretation of the Qur'ān is with the Hadith of our beloved Holy Prophet PBUH. After that the tafsīr of Qur'ān is very important in the light of Holy Companion's sayings. Like that a source of Tafsīr is literal interpretation. So, in this paper, this specific aspects of tafsīr have been discussed that the sources through which the literal interpretation of the Holy Qur'ān can be done, along with it, how a special arrangement has been made about it and how these sources can be utilized? Therefore, in this article, there are discussions about deriving commentary from the books of Mu'ajm, A'arab Al۔Qur'ān, and Al۔wajuh o Al۔Nazair, as well as briefly describing the authors of these books and their compilations and presented many examples as a sample for them.

This belief is the basis and roots of the religion of Islam and all other beliefs are established through the belief in the Prophet Hood, because the belief in Tawheed and the belief in afterlife is also based on the belief in the Prophet Hood. This unseen belief in the existence of Allah and the event of the Day of Judgment also indicates the belief in the Prophet Hood. For example, if Islam is a tree, then Aqeedah-e-Rasalat is its foundation and root. Similarly, Islam is a building and Aqeedah-e-Rasalat is its foundation. If the foundation is intact then the building is also intact. May Allah not be willing if the foundation is shaken or cut the root, no faith will survive. Similarly, all other beliefs are through the doctrine of the Prophet Hood.

During his formative years in his native Tursh (now in Algeria), which was incorporated in the Ottoman Empire, al-Sanūsī observed the corruption of the Ottoman administrators. To continue his religious studies, in 1821 he went to Fès, Morocco. Morocco was then nominally independent but actually a colony of France. Al-Sanūsī"s experiences under foreign rule and his observation of the inherent weakness of the Islamic states convinced him of the need for a revitalized Islamic community. The Sanūsiyyah became popular among the tribes of Cyrenaica. In the 20th century, under the leadership of al-Sanūsī"s grandson Idris, the Sanūsiyyah spearheaded the liberation movement against Italian colonization. After Libya gained independence, Idris ruled Libya as king from 1951 to 1969.

It looks like the difficulties are descending with line on the Muslim Ummah. It can be said that it is the toughest time after the era of Muslims climax. In the twenty 1 st century, we are suffering from a challenge that is quite different from all of the intellectual challenges; it is the challenge that has been created by the modern technology that has already created major problems. One of these main issues is the growing psychological problems and moral disadvantages in our society especially in the young generation, which is increasing every day. Distances from Islamic teachings, unnecessary and unhealthy use of Internet and community pressure are big reasons to increase psychological problems. The culture and intellectual disruption, regional dilemma, mutual hatred, distance, terrorism, suicide, fame of shameless culture in society are demanding a satisfactory solution of these problems to eliminate this unrest and anxiety. That's why, it is necessary to find the solutions of youth's intellectual disruption and psychological problems through the teachings of the holy Qur'ān as well as the guidance of psychologists and psychological method of treatment for the betterment of humanity. The success of the Muslim Ummah & the solution to the cultural challenges lies in the fact that people firmly follow islamic teachings through the Holy Qur'ān & the life of the holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

It has also a significant proportion and balance of life in Islam. So, it also sustains the subtle balance in all walks of life. It creates a balance between the rights of people which may be collective or individual. As he depicts the responsibilities of the Rulers and masses as they have their own coordinate rights and duties. It is also a fact that un-Islamic ideologies have been ruling the whole world and they attacked from the East and West and showed their control over the Islamic Countries. But now there is a strong wave of change in order to implement their Islamic ideologies in the Islamic countries such as Pakistan, in the light of glorious Quran and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet PBUH.

Among them, there is a group of Sufis who are very popular in the Islamic State. Most of the peoples were guided from the shrines of the Sufis, millions of misguided people found their path and this chain has been going on for a long time, every part of the world. There are people associated with Sufism in the field and it cannot be denied that Sufism has a deep influence on the soul. Thousands of books have been written on Sufism, each book presents a new side of the picture, immense objections have been made to Sufism and qasidas are also recited in praise of Sufism, but now a days Sufism between criticism and praise someone says that Sufism is the religion of worldly and lazy people, and someone said that it is the favourite pastime of scumbags. The intellectuals have confused Sufism with philosophical reasoning, logic and rational aspects so much that Sufism has become a science. That's why I have chosen the title of writing this paper to see this subject in the light of contemporary requirements. What is the impact on the visitors and the public will be examined in detail.

Centuries later, a personality emerges and organizes scattered crowds. These great people come to the world as the star of the fate of their nation. People with such high objectives are a beacon for their future generations. The poet has said very well about such great personalities. "Don't be easy to know us, the flicks come out of the dust screen for years". If we pick up the history of Islam, we are aware that not only men but women also have a great share in this field, but history introduces us to many women who have served different lying in different walks of life, especially in the field of knowledge. There are vivid examples of this. The role of women in the society in terms of education and training is very clear. Today, I have taken up a pen to write on one such great personality who has done the duty of training women and young girls. He is a great teacher, a commentator, a well-known religious figure as Astaza Nighat Hashmi Hafzaullah.

Philosophers consider it a creature bound to ethical rules and capable of distinguishing between right and wrong. Biologists categorize it as an animal due to its physical structure. Some religions consider it representative of evil, while some divide it into superior and inferior categories. After a clear definition of the human being, it is possible to build his personality. Islam, the last revelation of Almighty Allah, considers it the best creature. As human beings, Islam declares that Muslims and non-Muslims are equally respectable and want to build the human personality due to this importance, like a queen of bees. Islam wants to see it as a representative of good in the battle of good and evil. So that it invites the human being to think about the universe and even him because it wants to become the human being conscious even if he is on the wrong side. Islam wants to become independent from the slavery of other human beings' supremacy and other inferior creatures. For this purpose, it educates him the monotheism. Islam builds a personality based on beneficial education within a pious environment and good company. A human being is a unity of soul and body (the soul itself represents within the body (matter), separately soul or body has no value in this world). We have wrongly divided Islamic education into religious, worldly, spiritual, and physical. The so-called explanations of these concepts completely changed the situation of personality building that is not according to Islam and reality. The personality, built on the Islamic concept, is the supporter and representative of the dominancy of right and a strong barrier in the path of wrong. It is the only hope in the world for the welfare of humanity here and hereafter. It is clear from the analysis of our past and present that we have given up the Islamic concept of personality building, so we have declined due to the lack of persons who were able to continue our dominancy by leading the Muslim world and the whole of humanity also. It is no other way to recall the renaissance of Muslim Ummah without adapting the Islamic personality-building concepts.
