قاضی محمد عدیل عباسی

قاضی محمد عدیل عباسی
جناب قاضی محمد عدیل عباسی مرحوم کی رحلت کی خبر دارالمصنفین میں بہت ہی رنج و الم کے ساتھ سنی گئی، مرحوم قوم و ملت دونوں کے لیے بہت ہی مخلصانہ جذبات رکھتے تھے، وہ ایک اچھے خدمت گزارِ ملت کے ساتھ ہی بڑے سچے محبِ وطن بھی تھے، انھوں نے اپنی علمی سرگرمیوں سے یہ عملی نمونہ پیش کیا کہ ایک سچا مسلمان ہی سچا محبِ وطن ہوسکتا ہے۔ قاضی صاحب نے اردو، علی گڑھ اور مسلمانوں کی دینی تعلیم کے لیے جو خدمات انجام دی ہیں وہ مدتِ مدید تک یاد رہیں گی۔ (صباح الدین عبدالرحمن، جون ۱۹۸۰ء)

قاضی محمد عدیل عباسی
جناب قاضی محمد عدیل عباسی کے انتقال کو کئی مہینے ہوگئے، دارالمصنفین سے ان کو جو اخلاص و تعلق تھا، اس کا تقاضا تھا کہ ان کے ذکر سے معارف خالی نہ رہے، اس لئے تاخیر کے باوجود اس تحریر کی اشاعت نامناسب نہ ہوگی۔
قاضی محمد عدیل صاحب کا تعلق ضلع بستی کے ایک کھاتے پیتے زمیندار گھرانے سے تھا مگر ابتداء ہی سے ان کا رجحان قوم پروری اور حب الوطنی کی تحریک کی جانب ہوگیا تھا، اس لئے کالج کی تعلیم چھوڑ کر وہ علمی سیاست میں داخل ہوگئے، ان کو اس میدان میں پنڈت جواہر لال نہرو، رفیع احمد قدوائی، مولانا حسین احمد مدنی اور مولانا حفظ الرحمان وغیرہ کے ساتھ کام کرنے کا موقع ملا، خلافت، ترک موالات اور ہندوستان چھوڑ دو، تحریکوں میں سرگرم حصہ لینے کی بنا پر وہ کئی بار جیل گئے۔
قاضی صاحب کی عملی زندگی کا آغاز صحافت سے ہوا ان کو اس کا ذوق کان پور میں مولانا حسرت موہانی مرحوم کی صحبت میں پیدا ہوا، پھر وہ مشہور قوم پرور اخبار مدینہ بجنور اور زمیندار لاہور سے وابستہ ہوئے، زمیندار اس زمانہ کا...

کلام اقبال اور عشق مصطفے ﷺ

Dr. Muhammad Iqbal is an outstanding poet-philosopher, perhaps the most influential Muslim thinker of the 20th century. His poetry, both Urdu and Persian, is great. Iqbal's philosophy is known as the philosophy of selfhood (KHUDI). His philosophy determines the fact that the purpose of life is the development of inner-self. This goal of human being is definitely achieved by the true love of God, and sincere obedience of His Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). As the holy Quran declares loud and clear: "Say: if you do love Allah, follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins."  This article is about the gist of Dr. Iqbal's poetry, which is the love and devotion of Allah's beloved Messenger Muhammad (PBUH). Just like Rumi, Dr. Iqbal had a similar pattern of love for the personality of the prophet. He made Him to be the role-model in bringing the socio-political change within the Muslim society of his time. He firmly believes:  If you are loyal to Muhammad, then We are yours The world is naught: The Pen of Destiny shall be yours

Tunneling or Propping: Evidence from Family Business Groups of Pakistan

Corporate governance has two types of agency issues with respect to ownership and control of firms. The Type I agency issue is related to conflict of interest between shareholders and firm’s managers (i.e., principal-agent conflict); whereas, the Type II agency issue (i.e., principal-principal conflict) is between controlling (majority) shareholders and minority shareholders. The tunneling and propping in business group firms are examples of Type II agency issue. Tunneling is the process of expropriation or transfer of business resources by controlling shareholders from low cash-flow rights (CFR) firms to high CFR firms in a business group. Tunneling is carried out through certain transactions at the cost of minority shareholders in group firms. Whereas, propping is the opposite process through which resources are provided by controlling shareholders to firms under financial distress in a business group. This thesis examines these Type II agency issues between controlling and minority shareholders of firms related to family business groups of Pakistan. A family business group is a combination of two, or more firms under the control of a particular family. In this regard, the study examines whether tunneling, or propping is carried out in family business group firms, how it occurs and what impact it has on minority shareholders of these firms? The thesis has three major parts: first, this study explores regulatory and corporate environments in Pakistan; develops the pyramid ownership structures of family business groups; and examines the cash flow leverage, cash-flow rights and voting (control) rights of ultimate owners in family business group firms. The study finds that corporations in Pakistan have high degree of ownership concentration. Controlling shareholders own about 87% of firms with equal to or greater than 10% shareholding and 60% of firms with equal to or greater than 20% shareholding. Moreover, most of the businesses in Pakistan are controlled by families. In 62% of business group firms, families own about 20% or more top shareholdings. The study also finds considerable difference in voting, and cash-flow rights in family business group firms, which provides incentives for expropriation of resources. Secondly, the thesis focuses on finding the empirical evidence of tunneling, or propping in family business groups firms of Pakistan by taking a sample of 326 non-financial firms listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) for the period 2004-17. The study finds that majority or controlling shareholders expropriate minority shareholders by tunneling or transferring resources from group affiliated firms containing low CFR of majority owners. While measuring the sensitivities of firms to the industry earnings shocks through indirect methodology; the empirical results elucidate that about 31% resources are tunneled from low to high CFR group firms. The study further finds that equity held by directors (representing majority shareholders) has negative relationship with earnings of minority shareholders of low CFR group firms. Thirdly, the thesis examines different categories of four thousand five hundred Related Party Transactions (RPTs) taken place among sample firms during the period 2008-2013. Using the direct methodology, the study categorizes, classifies, describes and analyses the RPTs. The study finds that group affiliated firms extensively involve in RPTs as compared to non-group, foreign and state-owned firms. The controlling shareholders significantly use various RPTs for both, tunneling and propping depending upon the characteristics of firms, and corporate governance. Moreover, the study finds that considerable amount of intra-group loans is outstanding on firms’ financial statements. Besides, direct cash payments, cash receipts, assets sales and trade of goods & services have been observed as major RPTs, and sources of Type II agency issues. The study further finds that market assigns lower multiple of reported earnings for the top other receivable balance firms and vice versa. The study finally finds that firms are less likely to reduce their outstanding other receivables balances despite qualified audit opinions and lower returns. Overall, the results show that business interests of dispersed minority shareholders are xi significantly affected by crafty operations of majority shareholders in family business group firms mainly because of pyramid ownership structure and inadequate enforcement mechanism of corporate governance.These findings have certain implications for regulatory institutions, firm management, shareholders, and researchers.
