The study was under taken to explore the representation of Islam and Muslims through print media discourses. For this purpose, the data was collected from Dawn Daily. The time span for data collection ranges from 1 Feb 2023 to 30th April 2023. The data has been analysed by using Dijk’s (2006) research model. The significant themes that emerged regarding representation of Islam and Muslims include appointment of Immas, concept of Hilal and Haram and role of religions bodies to curb extremism from society. Besides, the study finds that in order to maintain peace and harmony the religious bodies should play their roll in true letter and spirit. The study recommends that ministry of Religious Affairs should observe the practices of religious schools and the Imams appointed there should be qualified enough to perform their duties comprehensively. In the regard, the roll of media is of vital significance.
