فصل دوم : حدود قوانین کے عدم نفاذ کی وجوہات
پاکستان میں اسلامی قوانین کی عملی تنفیذ کا اگر جائزہ لیا جائے تو یہ بات سامنے آتی ہے کہ اس حوالے سے سب سے زیا دہ کوششیں محمد ضیاء الحق کے دور میں ہوئی ہیں ۔ اس گیارہ سالہ دور اقتدار میں اسلامی قانون سازی کے لیے کئی اقدامات کیے گئے ۔ ضیاء الحق کا سیاسی کردار اور قانون سازی کے سلسلے میں کیے گئے اقدامات کے اسباب ومحرکات اپنی جگہ، لیکن یہ کہے بغیر نہیں رہا جا سکتا کہ انہوں نے فی الواقع اسلامی قوانین کے لیے جو اقدامات کیے ان کے مثبت نتائج برآمد ہوئے ہیں ، تاہم اس حوالے سے مختلف آراء پائی جاتی ہیں ۔ افرط و تفریط سے بچتے ہوئے اگر غیر جانبداری اور معروضیت سے جائزہ لیا جائے تو قانون سازی کے سلسلے میں ان کے قابل قدر اقدامات کے باوجود معاشرے پر نمایاں اثرات نظر نہیں آئے ۔ اس کی مندرجہ ذیل چندوجوہات ہو سکتی ہیں:
الف) ضیاء الحق قوانین کو اسلامیانے کےپروگرام کے حق میں عوام کو فعال طریقے سے متحرک نہ کر سکے ۔ اس کی کئی وجوہات ہو سکتی ہیں ، جن میں سے ایک وجہ یہ ہےکہ ان کا تعلق فوج سے تھا اور وہ عوامی مینڈیٹ لے کر نہیں آئے تھے، نہ انہوں نے سیاسی جماعت بنانے یا کسی سیاسی جماعت کو اپنانے یا عوام سے براہ راست رابطہ قائم کرنے کی کو شش کی ۔ ایک ریفرنڈم انہوں نے اس مقصد کے لیے ضرور کرایا لیکن وہ اتنا مصنو عی تھا کہ وہ اپنا وزن منوانہ سکا ۔
ب)انہیں فعال اور مؤثر دینی عناصر کی حمایت بھی حا صل نہ تھی ۔ اس کی متعدد وجوہ ہوسکتی ہیں لیکن یہ بھی ایک حقیقت ہے کہ اس ملک میں دینی حوالے سے کوئی کام...
The modern scientific concepts were clearly envisioned in the Qur'an date back to 7th century, when observational facilities were not available, mathematical principles were not discovered, primary principles (quarks) and fundamental forces i.e. Gravitational and electromagnetic were not identified. The word earth (أرْضَARD) appears 409 times in Quran. The number of verses in which the Earth is mentioned first is quite small, e.g. Sura 2, verse 29 and sura 20, verse 4, where a reference is made to "Him Who created the earth and the high heavens". On the other hand the numbers of verses where the Heavens are mentioned before the Earth are much larger e.g. Sura-l-araf (7), Verse 54; SuraYunus (10), verse 3; SuraQaf (50), verse 38; Sura l-Hadid (79), verses 27 to 33 etc. The Quran describes itself as a book of guidance. Sura l-Baqarah, verse (67)[i] states: قَالَ أعُوْذُ بِاللهِ اأنْ أَکُوْنَ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِيْن He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from being among the ignorant."The Qur'an does not render a coordinated description of the Earth Creation. In lieu of a continuous story of creation, there are verses dispersed all over the Quran which deal with certain aspects of the Earth Creation. These scattered verses provide information on the sequential events marking its development with varying degrees of detail. The Quran referred toward at least five points which shed light on the creation of heaven and earth. And these points are entirely confirmed by scientific facts.
High rates of postnatal depression have been reported in the developing world. It has also been reported that more than 200 million children under 5 years of age in developing countries do not reach their developmental potential. This study examined the possibility of maternal depression as a risk factor for psychological development of infants. There is likely to be a particularly high risk during the first year of life, not only because this is a time of increased susceptibility of mothers to a depressive episode but also because it is during this period that the infant requires most responsive care. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate this association in a representative rural community- based sample in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, using a natural groups design. 160 infants of mothers diagnosed to have depressive disorder in the third trimester, and 160 infants of mothers psychologically well in the third trimester, were followed up for one year. Mothers’ mental state was re-assessed postnatally at 2, 6 and 12 months using the WHO Schedule for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN). While, Bayley Scales of Infant Development were administered to the infants of both depressed and non-depressed mothers at the age of 12 months. Information was also collected about demographics, birth, socio-economic, and socio-cultural variables. Significantly lower developmental scores (Bayley mental, motor & behaviour rating scores) were found through univariate analysis in the infants at 12 months age who were exposed to maternal depression at 2 months postnatally as compared to infants of non-depressed mothers at 2 months postnatally. This association did remain significant for motor and behaviour rating scores at multivariate analysis, while mental scores did not remain significant along with significant association with infants having low birth weight and mothers having 4 or more children. Maternal depression is a significant risk factor of poor psychological development of infants in the first year of life. It may also be a significant marker for other infant risk factors such as low birth weight and maternal risk factor of having 4 or more children. The findings have implications for both infant and maternal mental health policy and practice.
