The Final Stability
By Muhammad Irfan
With the sparks of cold war rivalry and polar confrontations, the theories of strategic studies were profoundly developed by the laureate professionals who altered their related aspects of strategic studies frequently as per the circumstances required.

The theoretical developments as par international escalations which ushered during the early modern era confrontations between east and west and even during the era of global maritime engagements and their relevant consequential lessons have helped experts to witness mature observation, systematic analysis and made them opt for the complex usage of material technology during the late modern period.
With the sparks of cold war rivalry and polar confrontations, the theories of strategic studies were profoundly developed by the laureate professionals who altered their related aspects of strategic studies frequently as per the circumstances required.
Actually, the cold war rivalry and its hazardous consequences led the idea of need of stable relations between the two super powers of the time particularly when the nuclear power was materialized as the destructive weaponry.
The proposals for avoiding any mishap in wake of any miscalculation were ushered. Subsequently, diverse theories were proposed such as nuclear stability and nuclear deterrence. Therefore, stability as the policy pursuit has significant importance in the international security studies together with relevant theoretical aspects.
Stability refers to two spectrums of stability; internal and external. First assessing the aspects regarding external stability, an analyst observes the on-going state of circumstances and similarly he has to insight the forthcoming global strategic interaction.
Thus, external stability denotes the peaceful, balanced and stable inter-state relations where no one could dictate and influence other state's policy as well as decision makings.
Essentially, this manuscript deals mainly with the internal political as well as domestic stability of a society. There are following literary reviews which highlight the following important facets of stability.
Political stability is defined as a variable of great importance in a country's evolution since, across time, it was identified as causing law level of economic growth, but also it was presented as a consequence of poor economic development. [i]
Political instability can have an even greater impact on business and it may make them reluctant to invest in new capital or enter new markets. [ii]
Anthony defines the instability as the opposite of stability and states that instability is the result of a wide variety of long-term pressures growing out of poor governance, corruption, economic failures, demographic pressures and other forces within the civil sector. [iii] Euromonitor explains the following aspects as very important features for domestic stability.
1. Political stability is important for business environments in EMEs, as it affects investor and consumer confidence, thus having a wider impact on the economy. A stable political setting has partly helped Poland to maintain a favorable business environment.
2. Changes in political stability, therefore, have implications for investment, consumption and economic growth.
3. A rise in political instability is also found to hinder the growth potential of emerging economic markets.
4. Maintaining political stability will continue to be a challenge for many countries in the coming years, due to rising income inequality; rampant corruption; and high unemployment rates in some markets. [iv]
Subsequently, the state of stability shows the complete absence of internal security threats. It indicates the economic prosperity prevailing in the society. It also requires a consummate ruling authority to rule the country.
The robust and systematically working institutions enactment is the backbone of the stable societies. The rule of law is regarded as the soul of the stability.
The prevailing justice is a worth-mentioning dynamic of stability. The absence of corruptions and its by-product menaces is a remarkable characteristic of stability.
The induction of the able men on the basis of merit, transparency and fairness is note-worthy feature of the society. The devotee government led by the men of piety and enlightenment is the hall mark of the internal stability.
Importantly, the ongoing phase of human history is entering into the final generation phase which has been corroborated by many eschatological sciences.
Eschatology is a part of theology concerned with the final events of history, or the ultimate destiny of humanity. This concept is commonly referred to as the end of the world or end times. [v]
Islamic eschatology is the aspect of Islamic theology concerning ideas of life after death, matters of the soul, and the Day of Judgement, known as Yawm al-QiyÄmah , the Day of Resurrection or Yawm ad-DÄ«n , the Day of Judgment). [vi]
Subsequently, in this phase, the humanity needs the stability vigorously so that it may continue to grow and get rid of social menaces.
This book is a unique addition to the scholarly work compiled and authored yet. Actually, it is enticed with the Quranic verses which highlight the diversified dynamics of stability in a comprehensive way, encompassing both internal and external features of stability.
The methodology of the book is a formulation of an important research collection. Accordingly, certain dynamics of stability are assessed which follow the Quranic verse and its related analysis. Finally, it is of significant importance for both academia and professional experts.
