ماحول کی آلودگی

ماحول کی آلودگی
اللہ تعالیٰ قادرِ مطلق ہے، ہرشخص کے رزق کی ذمہ داری اس نے خود لے رکھی ہے، اس نے اس کے بیٹھنے،اُ ٹھنے، چلنے پھرنے کے کچھ قاعدوں اور کلیوں کا قرآن و حدیث کی شکل میں تعین کر دیا ہے، اور اسلام جو اُس وحدہٗ لاشریک کے نزدیک پسندیدہ دین ہے، گو انسان کے لیے مکمل ضابطہ قرار دیا ہے۔ جہاں دیگر مذاہب میں ماحول کو صاف ستھرا رکھنے پر زور دیا گیا ہے، وہاں اسلام میں بھی اس کی تاکید کی گئی ہے۔ جب آلود ہ، آلودگی، آلائش قسم کے الفاظ نظروں کے سامنے متحرک یاساکت صورت میں ہوتے ہیں تو بغیر کسی ظاہری تعفّن کے بغیر کسی نظر آنے والی عفونت کے دماغ کے جملہ گوشوں کومتعفن کر دیتے ہیں۔ جب یہ غیر مرئی تصورات ،خیالات ، دماغی آلودگی کا سبب بنتے ہیں، تو مادی شکل میں موجود آلودگی کا وجودکتنا قابل نفرت ہوگا۔
آلودگی کے تصور کو ہم نے محدود کر دیا ہے کوئی چیز اگر اپنی اصلی اورحقیقی شکل میں موجود نہ ہو تو وہ آلودگی کی آمیزش کا شکار ہے۔ اُس میں آلائش شامل ہے وہ نہ صرف منحوس وجود سے اپنے آپ کو نقصان پہنچاتی ہے بلکہ اس کی زد میں آنے والی گردو پیش کی اشیاء بھی متاثر ہوتی ہیں۔ اللہ تعالیٰ نے انسان کو اشرف المخلوقات بنایا اور اُس کو شرف، عظمت، بزرگی کے زیور سے آراستہ اور مزیّن فر مایا، اور اس کو اپنی صورت پر پیدا فرمایا۔ گلستان ہستی میں چلنے والی بادِنسیم ، در یائوں، سمندروں، بحروں اور بحیروں کی لہروں سے پیدا ہونے والی کھڑ کھڑاہٹ ، صحراؤں کی سنسناہٹ ، فضاؤں کی سرسراہٹ، سورج کی چمک، ستاروں کی دمک، چاند کی چاندنی ، تو حید کی مئے سے مست ہونے والے کی راگنی ، نرگس و گلاب کی پتیوں پر...

A Sharia’h Perspective of Minimum Account Balance Requirement in Islamic Banking

ABSTRACT: Banks charge fee on saving and current accounts or downgrade them when the balance drops below a threshold point. This could be justified in conventional banking on pure business grounds; however, it is an issue of concern in Islamic banking because of the underlying Shari’a (Islamic Law) issues in this practice. While some Islamic banks charge incidental fees, as practiced by conventional banks, on accounts with low balances, others simply stop paying profits on such savings accounts and some even downgrade them by stopping some of the free sendees. This conceptual paper addresses the Shari'a aspect of such practices in Islamic banking. The paper first presents a broader picture of Islamic banks’ practices in relation to this issue and then explores relevant Shari'a principles. The current market practices are then analyzed in light of Shari’a principles. The findings reveal that imposing restrictions/ charges on low-balance savings and current accounts are against the basic tenets ofShari’a principles. The implications of the paper are twofold. Firstly, it opens up a whole new dimension of literature in the field of Islamic banking by instigating an important untouched area. Secondly, it strongly recommends that Islamic banks reconsider their practices in this regard in order to stay viable in the long run. The paper also gives alternative recommendations for addressing the problem in a Shari’a compliant way

Identification and Estimation of the Role of Internal Micro Level Factors Towards Efficient Working Capital Management

Pakistan is a developing country and for the accelerated growth of its economy an effective route is through proliferation and growth of commercial firms by enhancing their profitability. However, this requires reduction in the marginal cost of output of these firms. Therefore, the most important consideration is to find ways and means of reducing cost in the components of working capital. This thesis aims to look into firm-specific internal micro level factors that may impact the working capital efficiency of large scale manufacturing firms in Pakistan. The study is empirical in nature and attempts to check working capital efficiency standards for firms of different sectors. In addition to this, economic effect of micro level factors on business performance is investigated. Working capital requirements, liquidity requirements, and working capital efficiency of business firms are examined on the basis of firm-specific internal micro level factors. All findings are based on an objective sample of 207 non-financial business firms listed on Karachi Stock Exchange from thirteen large scale manufacturing sectors of Pakistan. Reliable sources that are used for secondary data include State Bank of Pakistan, Ministry of Finance, Federal Bureau of Statistics, Business Recorder, websites of sampled firms, Trade Associations for some sectors etc. The thesis relies on using fixed effect method after controlling multicollinearity, autocorrelation, hetroskedasticity, and misspecification biases. Firms of different sectors are found more inclined towards improving their business performance through the use of current assets. Few firms in a sector are found improving their efficiency standards and are in status-quo with respect to their working capital strategies. Cash conversion cycle and size of the firm are identified as some main firm-specific internal micro level factors having significant influence on business performance of firms in most of the sectors. Leverage, cash flows, and growth of the firm are found to significantly influence the working capital requirements of firms. Liquidity needs of the firms are found to take significant influence of firms’ profitability, leverage, cash flows, and growth of the firm. It is observed that liquidity requirements and working capital requirements of business firms increase in poor economic conditions. A notable finding in the thesis is that receivables management, inventory management, cash conversion cycle, and firms’ growth have significant influence on the efficiency of working capital management in all economic sectors. This finding confirms that there exist internal micro level factors which impact the working capital efficiency of business firms.
