Abstract
Religion is an absolute reality of human life. As one of the major and worldwide religions, Islam also guided and taught its followers about all strides of life through the Quran. The sacred book of Allah comprises the “dos” and “don’ts” clearly for Muslims. One of the discourses behind the creation of the state of Pakistan was Islam and the majority of the Pakistani population also consists of Muslims. This context suggests a strong portrayal of Islamic values in the contents of Pakistani dramas. This study evaluates how Pakistani dramas are portraying Islamic ideology (the teaching of Islam with reference to domestic life) in their story themes. Drawing upon the theoretical perspective of “agenda setting,” this study investigates how Islam is projected in HUM TV dramas. For this purpose a sample for content analysis includes three dramas of HUM TV titled “Zara Yad Kar,” “Man Mayal,” and “Pakeeza.”
