  • Concept of Welfare State in Islam and in Western Welfare States
    Concept of Welfare State in Islam and in Western Welfare States AFKĀR Research Journal of Islamic Studies Volume 3, Issue 2, December 2019, PP: 1-18 E-ISSN 2616-8588 ; P-ISSN 2616-9223 www.afkar.com.pk ; www.iri.aiou.edu.pk Concept of Welfare State in Islam and in Western Welfare States: A Comparative Study Wing Commander Dr. Nasir Majeed Registrar, PAF Air War College PAF Base Faisal, Karachi. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT According to Britannica on line Encyclopedia ”A welfare state is a form of government in which the state protects and promotes the economic and social well- being of citizens, based upon the principles of equal opportunity, equitable distribution of wealth, and public responsibility for citizens unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life. The first and foremost policy of a welfare state is to provide basic facilities equally to all its citizens. Post-modern world is trying to gain a selective mechanism to reinstate the system of welfare as a political and economic theory. Most of Western welfare states establish ideas of Marxism, while the Islamic welfare state is based on teachings of Quran and Sunnah. The major difference between a western welfare state and an Islamic welfare state is based on the economic factor. Western theory of a welfare state is the theory of economic progress, while in an Islamic welfare state, the economic factor is just a part of a comprehensive system. According to some critics, the idea of an Islamic welfare state is obsolete because they believe that the codes and conducts used to establish an Islamic welfare state are no longer active.

In the province of Sindh, the ICRC provides support to First Aid training conducted by the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and hosts seminars on emergency response for medical doctors. It provides training in International Humanitarian Law (IHL) for the Pakistan Armed Forces and promotes IHL in civil society through educational institutions. It contributes to the training of the Police, teaching human right norms governing the use of force in law enforcement. It carries out prison visits, supporting the authorities' efforts to comply with international norms and standards and helps separated family members to restore and maintain contact with each other. When the devastating floods hit Sindh in 2010, the ICRC set up a logistic base in Karachi and launched a large-scale relief operation in northern Sindh in partnership with the PRCS. Throughout 2011, the ICRC continued to assist the population in their efforts to recover from the consequences of the 2010 floods and supported the response of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in the areas affected by the floods in 2011. The ICRC adapts its presence in Pakistan Increasingly over the past year, the ICRC has been facing difficulties in accessing certain areas and populations. A number of issues related to the ICRC's operational procedures, the scope of its activities and set-up in the country have been raised.

(The views expressed here are of authors own and do not purport or represent PAF) Email: [email protected] Dr. Rizwan Naseer Expert on South Asian Security Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Extremism in Pakistan has been the outcome of so-called Jihadists who wanted continuous recruitment for the Afghan-Soviet war(1979-89) and madrassas were settled with primary aim of propagation of so-called Jihad. Pakistan, being an Islamic Republic had already fertile ground for the promotion of Islamic ideology but this unfortunately was misconstrued by U.S. funded war which later turned Pakistani society into an abyss of extremism. Wave of sectarianism, drugs and political instability fomented extremism in the society. Internal strife coupled with international dynamics, badly distorted Pakistan‟s image internationally. That is the reason terrorists enjoyed support of masses despite military operations against them. This paper highlights that how the extremism rooted into Pakistani society caused wave of extremism, terrorism and hate. Pakistan faced serious challenges to economy and internal stability. Pakistan waged counterterrorism operations under the National Action Plan (NAP) but there is a need of counter-extremism policy that will normalize the society and regain its potential to excel.
