خواجہ عبدالحی فاروقی
افسوس ہے پچھلے دنوں لاہور میں خواجہ عبدالحی صاحب فاروقی داعیٔ اجل کو لبیک کہہ کر رہ گزاے عالمِ جاودانی ہوگئے۔مرحوم بلندپایہ عالم، مفسر اور اسلامیات کے فاضل تھے۔تعلیم کی تکمیل دارالعلوم دیوبند میں کی تھی۔عرصۂ دراز تک جامعہ ملیہ اسلامیہ دہلی میں شیخ التفسیر رہے۔تقسیم کے بعد پاکستان منتقل ہوکر اسلامیہ کالج لاہور میں صدر شعبۂ علوم اسلامیہ ہوگئے تھے۔طبعاً کم سخن اور مرنج و مرنجان مگر بڑے خلیق و ملنسار تھے،اﷲ تعالیٰ رحمت وبخشش کی نعمتوں سے نوازے۔ [مارچ ۱۹۶۵ء]
Since the past few years, muslims all over the world are being brutally accused of severe extremism. Many muslims now a days condemn terrorism and extremism and are not willing to connect these terms with the religion Islam. However there are a few who are in favour of these things. Terrorism is basically caused by a number of different acts of brutality. Its actually a chain reaction caused by the conspiracies against Islam, double standards of different super powers and injustice to the convicted and oppressed. Killings of the innocent and unarmed in the name of aggression is some thing which is totally against the Islamic teachings. Things become more complicated and dangerous when such acts of vandalism are done in the name of religion. Although many goals of ISIS are Islam based, however these very goals are achieved through non-Islamic ways. They feel no shame and go against all the ethics and moral values to reach their goals. Hence causing much more damage to their own muslim fellows. Even the cemetries are no more safe. They kill their opponents in the worst possible way and disrespect the dead bodies by kicking and hanging them to the trees. If this situation persists, it is inevitable that ISIS might replace the Halaku Khan and Genghiz Khan is brutality.
This study examines the influence of board control on the firm performance. The board structure, board power,
board communication, board meetings are the predictors of a firm performance. The objective is to investigate
either there exist an association between the firm performance and the selected predictors. For measuring the
performance, sales of the textile firms have been used and 250 textile firms of Faisalabad are used as sample
and for collecting the data convenient sampling method have been used. For collecting the data five point Likert
scale questionnaire is used and descriptive statistics in which mean and standard deviation is calculated on the
response data. Pearson correlation and simple linear Regression and multiple linear regression methods have
been applied to test the hypothesis.
The purpose of the first research hypothesis is to explore whether any significant relationship between the
board structure and firm performance is found or not. The simple linear regression has been used in which
significant result and positive coefficient indicates that positive association between the board structure and
the firm performance is observed. Further to check the association between the board power and firm
performance simple linear regression is used which also indicates significant result. Simple linear regression
and significant relationship between the board communication and firm performance is confirmed. The simple
linear regression results indicate that there is significant association between the board meeting and firm
performace.The last research hypothesis has significant relationship between the firm performance and board
structure, board power, board communication and board meeting. The multiple linear regression model is used
and the assumption of multiple regression has also diagnosed the linearity and normality of the data and found
that data is following the assumption of multiple linear regression.
It is concluded that well defined board structure and authorized and responsible board of directors that used
their power for the long term decision and keep an eye on the management increase performance of the firm.
The strong communication system among different levels of management and the board of directors and the
increase in the frequency of board meetings boost the performance of the firm.
