بھولنا تیرا نام مشکل ہے

بھولنا تیرا نام مشکل ہے
درحقیقت یہ کام مشکل ہے

چلنا تجھ بن اے مہرباں میرے
زندگی کا نظام مشکل ہے

خواہشوں کو لگام دو یارو!
گرچہ دینا لگام مشکل ہے

اب نکلنا تمھاری صورت کا
دل سے ماہِ تمام مشکل ہے

کیا کہوں تیرے شہر میں اب تو
صبح مشکل ہے، شام مشکل ہے

ناتوانی سی ناتوانی ہے
چلنا ایک ایک گام مشکل ہے

راحتیں چھوڑ جائیں گی تائبؔ
راحتوں کو دوام مشکل ہے

ولادت النبیﷺ سے متعلق سیرۃ کی چند روایات کا تحقیقی جائزہ

Allah sent Hadrat Muhammad (SAW) as last Prophet and preserved his all aspect of life for the complete guidance of mankind. Love with the Holy Prophet (SAW) is a part of the Faith. But it has become the standard of his love that all the things which are attributed to him either authentic or unauthentic are accepted without research. Regarding the S╚rah (life) of Holy Prophet (SAW) numerous authentic narrations are exist, but on the other hand some fabricated narrations also mentioned by the story-teller historians, so be careful while propagating these narrations. Some narrations are very famous regarding the birth of the Holy prophet (SAW) which are far away from the reality. In this article some narrations regarding the birth of the Holy prophet (SAW) are scholarly reviewed in the light of the views of the scholars of Jarh-o- Ta‘d┘l in order to find their legal status.

Food Price and Households Welfare Comparisons: Evidence from Household Panel Data in Rural Pakistan

This study analyzes static and dynamic welfare impacts of real food price changes across various income and land holding groups, low price, and high price periods as well as across region. This study uses panel data set, Pakistan Rural Household Survey, PIDE, with the objective to analyze dynamic consumption behavior. All three rounds (2001, 2004 and 2010) are used. This research work makes three main contributions in literature. First, this study uses QUAIDS demand model to estimate demand functions for eight food groups''-cereals, meat, milk and milk products, vegetables, cooking oil, pulses and other food. The system of equations is estimated by NLSUR using the result of Lagrange Multiplier, and of test on the coefficient of squared expenditure term, which supports the inclusion of squared expenditure term in food demand model. This study tests for endogeneity and uses control function for its correction. The problem of observed zero expenditure is dealt with a two-steps procedure. Second, it decomposes overall sample into low price and high price periods, and uses expenditure and price elasticity coefficients from QUAIDS to analyze static and dynamic welfare effects of real food price changes. The compensated variation (CV), money metric loss from food price changes, is estimated for all subsamples: upper and bottom income quintiles, landless, small and large landowners and Sindh and Punjab. Third, this study compares the findings of this study on welfare implications of food price changes based on QUAIDS with the earlier research, which used other specifications of the demand system. In addition, this study analyzes the food insecurity of rural household by using various indicators across periods, and for the entire sample. The indicators used in the study are per adult equivalent calorie, vii calorie availability per capita, calorie from staple food, and percentage share of food expenditures. The findings indicated that dynamic welfare impacts of real food price changes are lower than static welfare impacts in all subsamples. The static and dynamic welfare impacts are higher for poorest in the income group and for landless in the land holding group. Across regions, static and welfare impacts of real food price changes are smaller in Punjab as compared to Sindh. Across periods, money metric losses from food price changes are significantly larger in high price period than low price period. Households are food insecure on the medium scale in the sample period. All indicators, except percentage share of food, worsen in high price period implying negative welfare impact of food price changes on food security. The findings of this study, based on appropriate methodology, answers many questions raised by policy makers on food insecurity.
