سیرت نبوی ﷺ: ایک تحقیقی جائزہ

Prophet Hood consists of guidance from Allah to humankind. It is a Allah given blessing and a favor that is bestowed on an individual chosen be Him to convey His message, which cannot be acquired or earned otherwise. There has never been a human being so well-respected, loved and followed as Muhammad (SAW), the final messenger of Allah. There has never been a person who has changed world history so dramatically as Muhammad (SAW) and his message. The Prophet (SAW) was the single most important person in the history of the world. Knowledge of the Prophetic Biography is necessary for every Muslim and sharing it with everyone is a responsibility. The importance of a complete biography of the Messenger as available to us cannot be under estimated in this troubled time since both Muslims as well as Non-Muslims have serious knowledge gap when it comes to even approaching the nature of the Final Prophet and the Ultimate Messenger of God sent to all of humanity, who came to restore the primordial religion of Man, the submission to Allah and His Commands. Muhammad (SAW) serves as: - Allah’s messenger and prophet to all mankind as an example of human behavior and noble character Therefore, in studying his life-story we should derive lessons and morals that can help us in our lives today.

Ext-Spiimm: Process Improvement Framework for Global Software Development

Organizations developing software have realized the importance of processes for improving their productivity and quality of their products. There are different Software Process Improvement (SPI) models and methods available to improve processes of software development. If an organization wants to benefit from these models or methods then there is a need to identify Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and Critical Barriers (CBs) that affect the processes of software development in an organization. In Global Software Development (GSD) software projects are developed in an environment where team members reside in different geographical regions. This type of software development crosses the boundary of a company, a city or even a country. In GSD environment organizations play two types of roles. One role is client role and other is vendor role. Client organization acts as client and outsources software projects to other organizations. On the other hand vendor role works as producers or sellers of GSD environment and develops software for the client organizations. Involvement of these two roles in software development makes GSD environment different and complex. Therefore, models and methods made for GSD organizations should be different from conventional software development. There have been fewer SPI models available for GSD environment One such model is SPIIMM model which is only for client role (organizations acting as clients in GSD environment). Purpose of this research work is to devise an SPI model by identifying CSFs and CBs for vendor roles in GSD environment and to extend software process improvement implementation and management model to assist vendor organizations in GSD environment evaluating and improving their process maturity levels. Flow of this research work consists of a systematic literature review, survey from different Pakistani organizations, development of a model called Ext-SPIIMM for vendors of GSD organizations and assessment of developed model with a case study.
