مجبور
وقت کے نازک لمحوں میں
ہم دونوںبہت قریب تھے
پرایک دوجے کے دل سے بہت ہی دور
اس پر بھی بلا کی خاموشی طاری تھی
میں بھی بولنے سے عاری تھا
دونوں اپنی اپنی انا کے ہاتھوں مجبورتھے
According to the certain teachings of al-Qur’ān mentioned at four different places (4: 1, 6: 98, 7: 189 and 39: 6), all humans have their origin in a single cell or soul. One of the objectives behind these proclamations is perhaps to ensure that the unity of humanity at large and of the Muslims in particular, is never to be compromised and that the differences existing among them are to be resolved through a process of mutual understanding on the basis of the notions derived from the al-Qur’ān (2: 213) and Sunnah. AlQur’ān and Sunnah acknowledge the human diversity, rather, describe it as a functional aspect of existence, but not as structural. Referring to the Quranic verse 5: 48, Allah would have made humanity a single people, but, His plan is to test them in whatever He has given to them, so they should emulate for virtues. The present article is an attempt to shortly describe the role of the seven crucial factors in disruption of peace, all starting with the Arabic alphabet fā, i. E., Fitnah, the false Fatāwā, Fujūr, Fakhr, Furqah, Fisq and Fasād, with the purpose of developing an overall religious harmony for strengthening the inner and the outer peace. These seven factors play significant role in disturbing the stability of society. The Islamic injunctions also stress that these factors should be avoided in order to live a righteous and peaceful life.
This study sought to find out the effect digital disruption has had on the Daily Nation Newspaper, while also looking at the strategies the publication has put in place to ensure its survival. The study was guided by the following: (a) The changes and challenges posed by digital disruption on the newspaper and how this has affected its operations, (b) The strategies employed by the newspaper to respond to disruption and (c) The effectiveness of these survival and growth strategies. The study was guided by two theories – Disruption Innovation Theory and Media Economics Theory. The researcher used a Qualitative Research Approach, with the research design being a case study. The researcher employed in-depth interviews as data collection methods. The respondents for this study were experienced journalists and editors, who shared their experiences, while in the newsroom on how the disruption manifested itself and how the newspaper adapted to it. The findings of the study were varied. Briefly, they include Daily Nation’s intent on changing how they report their stories – with the main idea being coming up with exclusives and in-depth stories that consumers can pay for, the publication’s focus on retraining key staff, including hiring individuals with key digital skills to navigate this new dispensation, encouraging skill development and hiring multi-skilled employees. From the findings, it is clear that the future of newspapers is going digital. The researcher recommends that Daily Nation, however, needs to further scale up the publication of more exclusive content. The publication should equally explore new ways of telling its stories as well as invest more in improving technology used to deliver its information. But this process should be gradual. From the study, it is clear that diversification of revenue sources is the way to go. Business wise it sounds a great idea, but ethically, what should the media house do when one of the sponsoring organization is caught up in a scandal? This is an area future researchers should explore.
