The research explores the historical and intellectual background of modern Islamic thought, the constitutional and policy frameworks, and the role of state institutions in facilitating or constraining its dissemination. It analyzes structural, legal, educational, and social challenges, including curricular inadequacies, insufficient teacher preparation, bureaucratic inefficiencies, political pressures, and societal ambiguities influenced by global and media trends. Furthermore, the study provides a comparative perspective by evaluating the experiences of other Muslim countries, drawing lessons for institutional coherence and policy alignment. Based on this comprehensive analysis, it argues that a well-structured institutional framework, integrating research-based educational reforms, teacher training, and policy harmonization, is essential for bridging the gap between theoretical formulation and practical implementation of Islamic thought. Such a framework can enhance students’ intellectual and ethical development, ensuring sustainable promotion of Islamic values within Pakistan.</p> Zaheer Ahmad Babar Zaheer Ahmad Babar Dr. Ahmad Raza Dr. Ahmad Raza Copyright (c) 2026 Al-Aijaz Research Journal of Islamic Studies & Humanities 2026-02-28 2026-02-28 10 1 1 10
