پروفیسر حافظ محمود خان شیرانی مرحوم
ہم کو ابھی تک اپنے ملک کے علماء اور محققین کی پوری قدر نہیں ہوئی، کیسے افسوس کی بات ہے کہ ہماری قوم اور ملک کے ایک نامور محقق پروفیسر حافظ محمود خان شیرانی کا انتقال ۱۶؍ فروری ۱۹۴۶ء کو ٹونک میں ہوگیا، اور ہم میں سے بہتوں کو اس کی خبر نہیں ہوئی۔
شیرانی مرحوم کا وطن ٹونک تھا، شیرانی پٹھان تھے، اور ان کو اپنے پٹھان ہونے پر فخر تھا، ٹونک ہمیشہ سے علماء اور محققین کا مقام رہا، وہاں کا نادر کتب خانہ اکثر محققوں کو اپنی طرف کھینچ کر لے جایا کرتا ہے، اور شیرانی کا تو وہ وطن ہی تھا، شیرانی صاحب کی انگریزی کی استعداد پوری تھی، فارسی کی تعلیم متوسط اور عربی کی معمولی مگر ان میں تحقیق و تلاش کا مادہ فطرۃً تھا، تاریخ اور خصوصاً تاریخ ادب سے ان کو بے حد شغف تھا، تاریخ کے ذوق سے ان کو کتبوں اور سکون کا شوق تھا، اسی شوق سے وہ لکھنؤ بھی آتے تھے، اور چونکہ ہمارے مدرسہ دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء کے درس اول و شیخ الحدیث مولانا حیدر حسن خان صاحب مرحوم بھی ٹونکی تھے، اس تعلق سے وہ کبھی کبھی ہمارے مدرسہ میں بھی ٹھہرتے تھے اور اسی واسطہ سے میری ان کی ملاقات ہوئی، اور اس کے بعد جب وہ لاہور تھے، تو کئی بار ملنا ہوا۔
مرحوم کا سال پیدایش ۱۲۹۸ھ ہے، عمر قریباً سرسٹھ برس تھی ۱۹۰۴ء میں اسکول کی تعلیم چھوڑ کر بیرسٹری کے لیے لندن گئے، جہاں سے والد کی وفات پر ۱۹۰۶ء میں واپس آئے، پھر فوراً واپس گئے، اور ۱۹۱۴ء میں واپس آئے، بیرسٹرتو نہیں ہوئے، مگر قلمی کتابوں کا شوق پید اہوگیا، پیرس کے قومی کتب خانہ میں تین ماہ مصروف رہے، اور وہیں بعض فرانسیسی اہل علم کے ساتھ مل کر...
Islam gives the idea of collective life and tries for human development. The basic idea of the teaching of Islam is that the individual must be true and active worker of society. He must have moral values and principles clearly. In addition, he tries constantly that a Muslim should perform saying of Allah and human rights properly. In this way, Islam tries to work on the behavior, morality, and habits of people and tries his best to properly enhance the different aspects of personality. For this, the life of Prophet Muhammad? Is a complete code of life. The good characteristics of Muslims are considered praiseworthy that are truth, brotherhood, justice, forgiveness, the oneness of Allah and keepings. In the same way, the things which are condemned by Islam are bride, misery, theft, backbiting, telling lies, blaming others, self-centeredness, close vision, dishonesty, garrulous, greediness, showiness manners, jealousy, un-obligation, clashes, hatred and etc. The philosophy of character building and personality development in Islam is the Muslims should avoid all bad works and develops good qualities in him as discussed before so that a Muslim should be a very useful and pious citizen of society. And we all know that education especially we can say that Islamic Education is a tool of change. So education is worthless if it does not create change in the minds of people and society. It is useless if it does not build the moral character regarding the personality development of the students. Islam tells us all about the values which are fruitful for humanity and are beneficial to human beings. For this purpose, it is necessary that we should give awareness of Islamic values to the people through Islamic education. It is only possible if the textbooks are designed according to the Islamic concept and values as well as teachers and parents play their effective role in the development of the personality of their children. Pakistan is a Muslim country and has its own religious, moral, political and social values and being a Muslim through an effective Islamic educational system, we can transfer these values to our new generation. Our curriculum is playing key role in the personality development and character building of the students or not is the main question so that this article is being written. In this article keeping in view the aims and objectives of the curriculum of Islamic Studies and following the Quranic verses and Hadith, we will try to analyze whether it is building the personality or character of students or not. After that, the conclusion and recommendations will be given keeping in view the analysis.
Imperialism extended the sovereignty of the European Nations and Europe originated “modernity” beyond European space. Trinity of Resources, State and Markets operated vertically to construct the identities and subjectivities of the people. The study will employ Foucault concepts of governmentality, Power/knowledge, and discourse to understand the Archaeology (History of Present) of Globalization. Foucault believes that objective of Archaeology is to study change and transformation (Foucault, [1969], 2004). Foucault treats ‘concepts’ as strategies 2 of domination so his work drew attention of thinkers like Michel Watts working on repression of Post colonial state “development governmentality” (Watts M. , 2003), treating the state in third world as apparatus and instrument of control used indirectly by the ex (colonial)masters. One expression of “European Modernity” is its mode of political organization i.e. State and State system, which originated in Europe but that is now global in nature. Development of State or State system with its instrumental reason and processes that rationalize society, economy and polity was a unique feature of Europe. Twin doctrines of state and capitalism served as structures of rationality for modern world has their origin in Renaissance European state where they first devised their mechanisms of subjugation. Foucault aims to do “without a theory of the state” and one claim of Globalization narrative is that Globalization has made state ineffective. Foucault objects two fundamentals of state theory. · 2 State is a universal entity Strategy is defined by Deryfus and Rabinow (1983) as rationality involved in arriving at a solution or addressing a question or to attain the intended objective. 13· State is an independent, autonomous source of power. For him the “state is neither a universal nor in itself an autonomous source of power” (Foucault, 2008, p. 77). Foucault treats “Emergence of state as a fundamental political issue” is an episode in “general history” of Governmentality. (Foucault, 2004, p. 247) Foucault believes that state is nothing else but mobile effects of multiple governmentalities. Apex of state making for postcolonial world is European model of nation state. Nation state model of Europe is capitalist where state becomes a tool in construction of Bourgeoisie hegemony and capitalist accumulation. In Postcolonial world state serves the dual purpose of capitalist accumulation for the indigenous bourgeoisie and accumulation at world scale. Present singular world has its origins in age of European imperialism; however despite claims of homogeneity today we encounter with the problem of time/ space in this singular Globalised world. People living in different spaces are living in different times (traditional, modern and postmodern world is present within the global space The prime preposition for this study is that hybrid, heterogeneous, local compositions in “global homogenous singular formation” termed as “Globalization” and people living in different time zones of modernity across different spaces in age of globalization are products of different “governmentalities” (conduct patterns) employed by states to facilitate the requirements of global capitalism. We have further deconstructed this main preposition in components. · The governmentality employed in Core states is essentially different from Peripheral states. OR The different patterns of conduct and rules of governance are employed in Eurocenter (West) and non Western others. 14· The will to knowledge is not separate from will to power. Western knowledge produced and sustained the “structures of rationality” and different versions of same political organization i.e. state to sustain hegemonic orders. · State and Capital are intrinsic to each other and state is still meaningful in this era of triumph of capitalism. · State is not only the structures of dominance sustaining global and local hegemonies but also provide a conception of “just rule” for resistance movements fighting against global and local forms of subjugations. Study is divided in four main chapters 1. Archaeology of Contemporary Political Reason 2. Hegemonic Governmentality: A Nexus of Power/knowledge and Subjectivities 3. Chapter 3: Emergence of New World Order and Post Colonial Structures of Rationality: Case of Nigeria and Pakistan 4. Myth of Globalization The first chapter will provide an archaeological approach to World-System. Colonial Governmentality adopted in British India and Colonial Nigeria will be discussed as “Other” to European Governmentality in second Chapter. In third Chapter governmentality employed by Post colonial state of Pakistan and Nigeria that gave rise to ethno national movements of Biafra and Bangladesh will be discussed. Fourth Chapter will discuss along with a new concept of governmentality employed in Europe as well as impacts of anarcho- capitalism of neoliberal Washington Consensus on Postcolonial states. Religious Revivalism and Ethnicity are two responses to this development. Our finding is that despite its failure, state is still relevant in the age of Globalization and we suggest a state remedy for state failure.
