J.P.H.S., Vol. LXVIII, No. 2 69 A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DOMES OF CONTEMPORARY JAMIA MOSQUES AND MUGHUL HISTORICAL MOSQUES OF LAHORE * USMAN MUHAMMAD BUKSH ** UMER MAHBOOB MALIK * Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture, University of Management and Technology, Lahore e-mail: [email protected] ** Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture, Superior University, Lahore A Jamia mosque has been a major landmark in any Muslim settlement since ages and one of the most important institutions of the Muslim world. A dome, with its typical shape, has been a significant architectural element of a mosque from early times. However scientific, technological and industrial developments gave birth to new structural forms and shapes. Thus there are numerous new possibilities for the shape and form in place of a typical dome. It is being observed that the contemporary features and styles of domes of Lahore are different from the historic mosques of the Mughul era in terms of form, construction methodology, structure support system, materials and interior finishes. Thus objective of the current paper is to compare the architectural features and styles of domes in the Mughul historical mosques with those of the contemporary mosques built in newly established housing colonies in the same city. The objective is focus on evaluation of the changes in stylistic features of the new domes and also on the identification of factors responsible for new developments and contemporary trends in the domes of Lahore. In order to assess, a comparative analysis with the domes of Mughul historical mosques and domes of contemporary mosques from different locations of Lahore is done. -

Catholic Students Are Involved in Protecting Mosques in Pakistan
Chain gang: Students ring mosques in Pakistan Catholic group makes strong show of solidarity in defiance of terrorist attacks on shrines and other religious venues Kamran Chaudhry, Lahore, Pakistan, La Croix International , 22 May 2019 Student activist members of the Catholic-led Youth Development Foundation form a human chain around the Masjid Wazir Khan mosque in Lahore. (Photo by Kamran Chaudhry/ucanews.com) After a suicide bomber killed 12 people on May 8 outside a major Sufi shrine in Lahore, capital of the Pakistani province of Punjab, Sikh activist Gurjeet Singh and his friends made a pact to form human chains around local mosques to physically and symbolically ward off religious extremism. "We spend our weekends protecting Muslim worshipers. This shows our solidarity with our brothers and sisters who subscribe to Islam, the majority faith in Pakistan. It also strengthens interfaith harmony in our troubled society," the 26-year-old told ucanews.com, adding the group plans to ring the bombed Data Darbu shrine in June. The Sikh activist, who launched a free ambulance service last year at a government hospital, joined other interfaith activists in locking hands around the city's Jamia Masjid Minhaj-ul- Quran mosque on May 18 to safeguard the 50-odd worshippers inside. For 20 minutes after sunset, they stood on the grounds of the mosque as it hosted a fast- breaking ritual known as iftar . The morning counterpart to this is known as suhoor — a meal taken just before sunrise. Both are practiced daily during the holy fasting month of Ramadan, which this year runs from May 5 to June 4. -

AIPS 1998 Newsletter
Pakistan Studies News Newsletter of the American Institute of Pakistan Studies Fall 1998 POWER AND CIVIL SOCIETY Power and Civil Society in Pakistan by Anita Weiss A number of Pakistan-based and U.S.-based scholars have been participating in a project entitled "Power and Civil Society in Pakistan." Professor Anita M. Weiss (University of Oregon) and Dr. Zulfiqar Gilani (University of Peshawar, AIPS/PLS visitor, 1996), project coordinators, will also jointly edit the resulting volume. The task of the project is two-fold: 1) to understand historic relations of power and authority in a range of social relationships in Pakistan as a means to create a baseline understanding of traditional conceptions of power. While these vary somewhat by region, class and gender, ample common features exist to form a foundation of what can be termed "Pakistani society." The country's founders envisioned its civil society -- intermediate institutions in the Tocquevillean sense free from both church (i.e., mosque) and state, in effect operating as a bulwark against the state amassing unbridled power -- within a pluralistic framework. albeit initially providing room for a variety of interpretations of its founding principles and future directions, and 2) to grapple with understanding the causes behind the disintegration of a moral consensus within Pakistani civil society, with the ultimate objective of reconceptualizing development priorities. The project's focus is on shifting power relationships in various social domains as contributors examine how changing power dynamics are precipitating or responding to the erosion of existing local social contracts, and ways in which they are affecting the emergence of alternative contracts between the peoples of Pakistan. -

Pakistan 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
PAKISTAN 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution establishes Islam as the state religion and requires all provisions of the law to be consistent with Islam. The constitution states, “Subject to law, public order, and morality, every citizen shall have the right to profess, practice, and propagate his religion.” It also states, “A person of the Qadiani group or the Lahori group (who call themselves Ahmadis), is a non-Muslim.” The courts continued to enforce blasphemy laws, punishment for which ranges from life in prison to execution for a range of charges, including “defiling the Prophet Muhammad.” According to civil society reports, there were at least 84 individuals imprisoned on blasphemy charges, at least 29 of whom had received death sentences, as compared with 77 and 28, respectively, in 2018. The government has never executed anyone specifically for blasphemy. According to data provided by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), police registered new blasphemy cases against at least 10 individuals. Christian advocacy organizations and media outlets stated that four Christians were tortured or mistreated by police in August and September, resulting in the death of one of them. On January 29, the Supreme Court upheld its 2018 judgment overturning the conviction of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman sentenced to death for blasphemy in 2010. Bibi left the country on May 7, after death threats made it unsafe for her to remain. On September 25, the Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a man who had spent 18 years in prison for blasphemy. On December 21, a Multan court sentenced English literature lecturer Junaid Hafeez to death for insulting the Prophet Muhammad after he had spent nearly seven years awaiting trial and verdict. -
