Item PUNISHMENT OVER INTENT IN PAKISTANI LAW(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2025) Kainat Azeem; FA21-BDE-002; LHR TP 9655; Zain Ul AbideenThis thesis investigates how poverty, inequality, and desperation frequently lead individuals to commit crimes in Pakistan. Although modern laws often answer back with strict sentence, traditional Islamic law documented intent, necessity, and setting— offering compassion for crimes compelled by survival. Historical instances, such as Caliph Umar Ibn Khattab suspension of hudud during famine, redirects this empathetic methodology. The study analyses Pakistan’s unyielding legal responses and calls for reforms grounded in Islamic principles of justice and mercy. As Kanwel, Asghar, and Khan (2024), “A criminal justice system that focuses solely on punishment without addressing the underlying causes of crime fails not only the offender but also society at large” To complement the study, this project takes the account of a mixed-media visual book uniting photography and illustration. It narrates stories of people who committed crimes out of desperation, pointing to civilize them and induce understanding in audiences. The design highlights emotional storytelling and challenges societal decision, linking academic research with art and advocacy. This thesis ultimately argues for a justice system that balances accountability with compassion and reflects the ethical spirit of Islamic jurisprudenceItem HOME, HURT, AND HEALING: LETTING GO OF EMOTIONAL CHILDHOOD BAGGAGE(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2025) Ayesha Imran; FA21-BDE-015; LHR TP 9651; Zain Ul AbideenA home is supposed to be a place of love and safety but many times it becomes a source of long term emotional pain that is passed down through generations. According to John Bowlby’s attachment theory, early childhood experiences define their emotional development, saying first attachments with their caregivers mold them for life (Bowlby J. , 1978) and Ronald Rohner's Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory was developed to explain how parental behavior influences a child's emotional and psychological development. So such experiences often result in emotional neglect, feelings of abandonment, and struggles with self-worth in adulthood. The core idea of this thesis is aimed at healing childhood wounds and moving on from the pain of the past. This thesis design shows how a person can let go of the hurt when it is time, as an act of self-healing and not for anyone else, including their parents. Healing happens by accepting the past, making sense of the past, and deciding to move forward. By gaining perspective from their parents' experiences, it becomes easier for a person to forgive. Ultimately, the person releases themselves from the baggage of intergenerational trauma and re-births their negative core beliefs. This thesis serves as a reminder that healing is an internal job. Moving forward is hard but important.
