فإن للغة العربية سحرًا لا يعرفه إلا من سبر أغوارها من أهلها أو من غير أهلها، وحب اللغة العربية متجذر في قلوب المسلمين، عربًا وغير عرب، بل إن شئت الحق؛ يهيم بها المسلمون من غير العرب ممن أنعم الله عليهم بمعرفتها قراءة وكتابة وتحدثًا، وقد يندهش العرب من هذا الكلام، مستبعدين أن يكون هناك من ينافسهم في حب لغتهم، ولكني سأفاجئك بقولي إن من المسليمن غير العرب من بَذَّ العرب أنفسهم وتفوق عليهم في معرفة اللغة العربية ودقائقها، والأمثلة على هذا كثيرة، وخاصة في باكستان التي يتميز شعبها بحب اللغة العربية تبعًا لحبهم لدينهم، ولنبيهم صلى الله عليه وسلم؛ ولنا أن نذكر العالم الجليل الأستاذ الدكتور عبد العزيز الميمني رحمه الله، والأستاذ الدكتور ظهور أحمد أظهر، والأستاذ الدكتور خورشيد رضوي، والأستاذ الدكتور سليم طارق حفظهم الله؛ فهؤلاء هم النبراس في اللغة العربية وعلومها في شبه القارة الباكستانية الهندية في عصرنا الحاضر، وبهم تستنير الأجيال، وتسير على خطاهم، والباحثة الباكستانية الدكتورة مكية نبي بخش من الجيل الجديد الذي تتلمذ على يد واحد من أولئكم العلماء الأفذاذ؛ أقصد الأستاذ الدكتور سليم طارق خان أستاذ اللغة العربية بالجامعة الإسلامية ببهاولبور؛ فنهلت من ينابيع علمه ما جعلها تجيد اللغة العربية إجادة يغبطها عليها أهلها، رغم أنها عاشت بين أهل العربية زمنًا، إلا أن الأساس عندها يرجع إلى هذا الأستاذ العظيم، وإليه يعود الفضل في توجيهها التوجيه الصحيح لخدمة اللغتين العربية والأردية؛ فأعدت رسالتها للدكتوراة دراسة مقارنة بين الشاعرة العربية العراقية الكبيرة "نازك الملائكة" والشاعرة الباكستانية الأردية الكبيرة "بروين شاكر"، وبعد أن مَنَّ الله عليها، وأتمت أطروحتها، وحصلت بها على درجة الدكتوراة من الجامعة الإسلامية ببهاولبور، قررت أن تنشرها في شكل كتاب بعد تنقيحها ومراجعتها، لتعم...
Defending Prophet’s honor is religious and social duty of every Muslim, The Holy Prophet (r) being more valuable than our own lives and souls. The theme of love rests in its high correlation with obedience. That the one whom someone loves, his obedience and submission to him becomes easier, even to the extent of contentment and pleasure. Love of Allah and Holy Prophet (r) has been stressed upon in the article so that obedience of Allah and his Prophet and submission to them is expressed as easy and doable, and an instigation to avoid disobedience is generated. Success of a man lies in obedience of Allah and that of Holy Prophet (r). In this article, the facet of “Love” with Holy Prophet (r) has been comprehensively narrated. The prophet was deputed to be obeyed and followed to the dooms day unchecked of followers’ class, color or ethnicity. Such unconditioned following required his person to be of an extensively inclusive character, which it did, and that every single instant of his esteemed life is preserved. The most divinely of the services is moral building of nations on practical patterns. One way is of preaching, while even cultured is to assemble written material to be followed for long or elsewise forcefully bind people to follow ethical doctrines and avoid vice.
Curriculum, to a great extent shapes students' experiences in school. Assessment as a major component of curriculum plays an important role in students' academic life because it not only assesses students learning but also contributes in their learning. Unfortunately, there are many issues in our curriculum, teaching learning and assessment. Almost in all the public and private schools, government prescribed textbooks are the only source of knowledge that are followed religiously, which provides one-sided, limited and outdated knowledge to the learners. Teachers are transmitting knowledge and there is no connection of teaching and learning with learners' daily lives. Moreover, assessment encourages rote learning and tests only knowledge, neglecting other higher order skills. The purpose of this research was to explore the success and challenges of three private schools in Karachi, Pakistan, who have initiated the Aga Khan University- Examination Board (AKU-EB) based portfolio assessment in their schools. The design of the research was a qualitative paradigm case study. One hundred and eleven students from all three schools, along with head teachers, and mathematics teachers of each school participated in this research. Besides students and teachers, one of the AKU-EB officials was the research participant. For data generating, I conducted semi-structured interviews of the teachers, head teachers and AKU-EB official and surveyed the students through a questionnaire. The findings revealed the portfolio assessment minimised teacher centered teaching approaches and promoted students active participation in teaching and learning. Use of reflection, self-assessment, peer assessment, presentation, and a collaborative learning environment in a school were major successes of this project. Stakeholders also a highlighted a few challenges regarding conducting and assessing group work, self – and peer - assessment. Stakeholders also faced challenges because of limited time available for the projects and ambiguity in the instructions for some projects.
