Shah Waliullah and his Concept of Welfare State: An Analysis
Muslim scholars have contributed enormously to the concept of welfare State. Among them Shah Waliullah is the rising sun who was born in South Asian sub-continent in the 19th century. He was holding the firsthand knowledge of Quran and Hadiths, the first primary sources in Islam. Shah Waliullah's point of view regarding welfare state occupies central theme in his works. His basic concepts like equality, justice, anti-usury, and rights of working classes, espoused with responsible governance, are the pillars of the edifice of the Islamic polity. To purge the Muslims out of dogmas and channelize their energies in compliance of the true religion, Islam, Shah Waliullah has left deep imprints on modern mind. His solutions to the prevailing ills of the society can be found in his works and thought. This paper is aimed to present Waliullah's thought on establishing a happy society by curbing the inequality in the socio economic conditions of the Muslims. Historical descriptive approach is adhered to investigate the ills and present solution thereof.

Challenges & Suggestions of Online Teaching: Opinions of Public and Private Universities in Pakistan
Online learning has transformed higher education. Many empirical studies have been done on the challenges with online courses, but few have presented an overview. We reviewed the literature using Cooper's framework. Concerns were found to be common in three large groups: online students, teachers, and people who make materials. Online education had problems because students had different ideas about what was expected of them, their level of preparedness, and their level of engagement. Teachers had to deal with problems like getting used to their new roles in the classroom and having trouble with time management and how to teach. Considerations for content development, the role of instructors in content creation, the use of multimedia in content, the importance of instructional methods, and more came up during this research. Higher education institutions can help both teachers and students get past these problems by giving them opportunities.

Management Practices in Private and Public Higher Education Institutions
The study's goal is to compare and contrast public and private university administration practices in Pakistan. Using a random sampling technique, 200 institutional heads from (various departments) of public and private institutions (universities) of Punjab were selected for the study.According to the study, managing operations at higher education institutions in these locations is difficult for both commercial and governmental universities. However, these two categories of institutions' management strategies differ significantly from one another. According to the survey, private institutions of higher learning place a greater emphasis on marketing and financial
management than public ones. Private institutions place a high priority on promoting their offerings to draw students and donor support as compared to public institutions.

Financial Development and Private Investment
This paper finds that financial sector growth is key to boosting private investment in Pakistan. Banks, as financial intermediaries, enhance private investment by lowering risks and supporting decision-making through strong accounting standards. A broader financial system—measured by the ratio of commercial bank assets—positively impacts private investment. Financial deepening, or increasing liquid liabilities, also plays a critical role, as a developed banking system reduces transaction costs and improves fund access. Increasing private sector credit drives investment, so aligning the credit system with Pakistan's investment needs is essential. Strengthening financial intermediaries, enforcing contracts, and managing risks are necessary steps to support Pakistan’s financial sector growth and stimulate investment.
