فتوی کی ذمہ داریاں
افتاء کا منصب علمی سلسلوں میں سب سے مشکل سمجھا جاتا ہے فقہ کے لاکھوں ملتے جلتے مسائل کا تھوڑے تھوڑے فرق سے حکم بدل جاتا ہے۔ بہت سے احکام اور حالات کے تغیر سے بھی بدلتے ہیں دار العلوم دیو بند میں تدریس کا جب آغاز کیا تو اس وقت دارالعلوم کے صدر مفتی حضرت مولانا عزیز الرحمن عثمانی ؒ تھے ۱۳۴۴ھ میں مفتی اعظم ہند جب دارالعلوم سے مستعفی ہوگئے تو مفتی شفیع ؒکو منصب افتاء کی پیش کش ہوئی جو انہوں نے مولانا اشرف علی تھانویؒ کے مشورے سے قبول کرلی۔اور ۱۳۵۰ھ کو دارالعلوم دیو بند کی مجلس شوریٰ نے آپ کو منصب افتاء پر بحیثیت صدر مفتی فائز کردیا۔
فتوی سے تدریس کی طرف منتقلی
بزرگوں کے حکم پر فتوی کی ذمہ داری کو قبول تو فرمالیا مگر بعد میں تدریس میں واپس چلے جانے کی اجازت چاہی لیکن اجازت نہ ملی آپ کے دوبارہ اصرار پر ۱۳۵۴ھ میں دارالعلوم کی مجلس شوری نے یہ مشکل فیصلہ بھی کردیا کہ فتویٰ سے تدریس کی طرف منتقل کردیا جائے۔
سیاسیات میں فکری و عملی حصہ

Background of the Study: To compare the effects of relaxing music therapy with task-oriented training of lower limbs on the balance and functional status in patients with chronic stroke.
Methodology: This randomized clinical trial was conducted in three outpatient physiotherapy clinics in Lahore, Pakistan. A sample of 76 participants with chronic stroke, aged 40-60 years, and on assistance walking, were recruited through a purposive sampling technique. Individuals who had physical impairments and visual or hearing deficits were not included in the study. Group A received task-oriented training with routine physical therapy while Group B received Music therapy additionally. Three sessions on alternate days per week for eight weeks were given. Balance and functional independence were the outcome variables measured using the Berg Balance Scale and Functional Independence Measure respectively. Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman ANOVA were applied for between-group and within-group differences respectively. P-value was significant at ≤0.05.
Results: The mean age of participants was 54.05 ± 3.64 years, the majority i.e., 55 (72.4%) were male, 46 (60.5%) had ischemic stroke and 53 (69.7%) were presented with left-sided weakness. A statistically significant difference was observed among both groups in balance (p =.000) and functional independence (p=0.000). The within-group difference was also significant for balance (p=0.000) and functional independence (p=0.000).
Conclusion: The integration of relaxing music therapy, task-oriented training, and routine physiotherapy is effective in improving balance and functional independence in chronic stroke patients.
Present day world as a global village is marked by what we call the challenges of strategic power game, oil politics, economic adventurism, military occupations and invasions in the name of ‘self-defense’. Global players have national interests and their foreign policy revolves around energy security, strategic economic interests and how to access mineral and energy reserves. Afghanistan strategic location provides access and proximity to the West Asia, the Middle East, South Asia and Central Asia but peace and stability inside Afghanistan is question of the day. Hence the question to be investigated are that What is the importance of a strong and independent Afghanistan for major players like Pakistan, China and the US? What are the major grounds of convergence and divergence of interests of triangular relations in Afghanistan perspective? What are the viable policy options for Pakistan, China and the US for strategic reassurance and resolve? For conducting this research sequential mixed method design is used with three major phases namely, an initial data gathering stage, a questionnaire survey, and a qualitative data gathering phase. The United stated interests in Afghanistan revolves around myriad factors as neutralization of the Afghan Taliban threat by military means, training and arming the Afghan National Army and the Police, to strengthen the capacity of the Kabul government to govern effectively and help in economic reconstruction of Afghanistan. Pakistan wants peace and stability inside Afghanistan, to secure economic and defence interests as well to access natural resources of Central Asian Republics. While China interests revolves around economic and security, and to play role of mediator in Afghanistan peace process because the very security of Xinjiang is threatened. All these three players are having convergence on fighting against violent extremism, improving of regional relations, regional stability and peaceful dispensation in Afghanistan, dialogue with Taliban and Pakistan’s Key Role in Afghanistan peace talks. Pakistan and the US have divergences as preferential Treatment of India, growing Role of India in Afghanistan, Chinese Ingress in the Area; Challenge to US hegemonic design whereas Pakistan and China are having irritants as security of CPEC and resurgence of ETIM. China and US have divergences as role of India in future regional Afghan dispensation and Indo-US nuclear deal. Peaceful Afghanistan can be only through dialogues based on pluralism, democracy, constitutionalism and recognition of rights of minorities. The three players must counter terrorism and restore peace in Afghanistan, neutral policy towards Afghanistan and regional economic cooperation.
