Restraint doctrine and martyr veneration on the same printed page

Punjab's class-9 Islamiyat teaches a deliberately narrow conception of jihad — defensive, a state monopoly, framed by the 2018 Paigham-e-Pakistan counter-terrorism declaration and distinguished from fasad fil-ard. The activities block on that same printed page directs pupils to write the names and deeds of Nishan-e-Haider recipients in their diaries.

The lesson itself is narrow and deliberate. At pp. 113–116 the learning outcomes require pupils to distinguish jihad fi sabilillah from fasad fil-ard, glossed as terrorism, and to do so “in the light of Paigham-e-Pakistan” — the 2018 counter-terrorism declaration. The doctrine taught is defensive and a state monopoly. Then the activities block on that same printed page directs pupils to write the names and deeds of Nishan-e-Haider recipients into their diaries. The lesson argues restraint; the homework rehearses valour.

What the books say

Each entry below is the catalogue's own record for that book on that axis, printed as it stands. Pages marked PDF p. are counted from the first page of the scanned file, which is how most of this corpus was read; pages marked printed p. are the folio printed on the paper. The two differ by however many unnumbered cover leaves a volume carries, so the label matters when you go to check.

Punjab Islamiyat 9 (Urdu) observed A5 Militarism PDF p. 113 Urdu, read at theme grade — described, not quoted

Theme-grade. Jihad lesson pp.113–116. SLOs require distinguishing jihad fi sabilillah from fasad fil-ard (glossed دہشت گردی) "in the light of Paigham-e-Pakistan" (islamiyat-9-ur · PAGE 113); purpose stated as eliminating fasad, terrorism and lawlessness (· PAGE 113). But the lesson's own end-of-unit activity directs pupils to record in their diaries the names and achievements of the shuhada awarded Nishan-e-Haider (· PAGE 115). See §6

Limits

Verified by rendering the printed page as an image and reading it directly, because Nastaliq OCR is not reliable enough to quote. The book is Urdu-medium and is therefore described, not quoted.

Boards and confidence

Punjab high confidence

Confidence reflects the evidence tier this rests on. High means native or English-medium text verified by exact string match; medium means it depends partly on Urdu-medium material read at theme grade, or on an absence. See the method.

Challenge this finding

This is a claim about a printed book, so it is checkable, and it should be checked. If the citation is wrong, the edition is misidentified, the passage is quoted unfairly, or the finding does not survive its own evidence, that is worth reporting and it will be acted on whether or not the correction is convenient for the argument. Corrections are logged publicly in the corrections log; this applies fully to the boards themselves.
