Arshad Shaikh studies the recent collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in America. The spectacular failure of the 16th largest bank in the United States represents a systemic failure of the banking system. While analysts and media pundits debate the bank’s over-reliance on its held-to-maturity (HTM) portfolio, the lack of regulatory oversight, moral hazard and the tightening monetary policy by the Fed, very little is being said about the concept of conventional banking and the design of the global financial system. The American administration is intervening aggressively to avoid contagion and restore confidence in the depositors and investor community. However, the cracks in the banking system are openly visible and only its complete overhaul can prevent an impending apocalypse.

a petition which wants the court to declare same-sex marriages legal,Dr. Javed Jamildelves deep into the havoc and chaos the so-called ‘sex revolution’ has created and can create in society, the loss it has caused and the danger it poses to human health. He hopes that the Union Government would forcefully present its case against same sex marriages, and the Court would decide the case purely on the basis of the highly dangerous consequences of this perversion on life, family peace and social order rather than on the basis of the mischievous arguments based on the concept of Freedom of Choice advanced by the forces of economics just for the interests of the market.

The Qur’ān presents the stories of earlier communities who were destroyed for their rejection of the Truth. It directs our attention to the fruits of labour they reaped owing to their stubbornness in rejecting the Message of Truth conveyed to them by the Messengers of God, because they are indicative of human life and its course of history. The crime of their rejection of the Truth was so enormous that God did not defer His Chastisement to the Day of Judgement, but rather He punished them right on earth and made them serve as deterrent to the generations to come.
AbūHurairah relates: The Messenger of Allah ﷺsaid, “When any one of you is observing a fast on a day, he should neither indulge in obscene language nor should he raise his voice; and if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him, he should say: ‘I am observing fast’.”
“During the month of Ramadhan the Qur’ān was sent down as guidance to the people with clear signs of the true guidance, and as the Criterion (between right and wrong). So those of you who live to see that month should fast it, and whoever is sick or on a journey should fast the same number of other days instead. Allah wants ease and not hardship for you so that you may complete the number of days required, magnify Allah for what He has guided you to, and give thanks to Him.”
