نعت کو دیگر اصناف ادب پر وہی تفوق حاصل ہے جو اس کی موضوعہ ہستی کو باقی انسانوں پرہے(یعنی بعدازخدا.....)۔گزشتہ صدیوں میںنعت کا تخلیق کردہ سرمایہ بہت زیادہ ہونے کے باوجود طلب سے کم ہے۔زمانوں کے تغیر نے کیسے کیسے نامیوں کے نشانات کو بود سے نابود کردیا ۔ دنیا کے فٹ پاتھ سے انسانی نسلوں کے نہ جانے کتنے گروہ بے خیالی میں گزر گئے ،ایسی مقدس ہستیاں بہت کم ہیں جنھوں نے جلوسِ جہاں میں اپنی یادوں کے دستخط ثبت کیے ۔وقت کے بہتے دھارے نے انسانی چہروں پر فراموشی کی دھول جما دی، لیکن چنیدہ لوگوں میں سر فہرست ایک باکمال ذات ایسی بھی ہے کہ وقت کا یہ سیلِ بے پناہ اس کے جمال ِپرانوار میں روز بہ روز اضافہ کرتا جارہا ہے۔اس کا ذکر حسب ِوعدہ بلند سے بلند تر ہوتا جارہا ہے ۔دنیا کے دیگر مذاہب اور عقاید میں تصویریں اور بت بنا کر اپنے مشاہیر کو خراج تحسین پیش کرنے کی روایت موجود تھی،اسلام میں اس کی سخت ممانعت کی وجہ سے پیغمبراسلام ﷺ کی خدمت میں الفاظ کا نذرانہ بہ ذریعہ نعت پیش کرنے کا آغاز ہوا۔
نعت کی صنف اپنے جلو میں متعدد فکری زاویے رکھتی ہے ۔آپ جناب سرکار صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی سیرت کے ساتھ ساتھ صورت میں بھی نورونکہت کی ہمیشگیاں فی الحقیقت اسی مقدار میں موجود ہیں جسے دوسرے لفظوں میں خیر کثیر کہا جاتا ہے۔جس طرح زندگی کے جمالیاتی زاویوں کی افادیت سے انکار ممکن نہیں بالکل اسی طرح اس عظیم ہستی کے جمال پرنور کی عظمت سے کیسے انکارممکن ہے۔ہماری شاعری میں داخلی کیفیات کی ترجمانی ہو، یا ملت کے اصلاح احوال کے تذکرے، ملتِ بیضا کی مشکلات کو استغاثے کی صورت میں بیان کرنے کا ہنر ہو یا حسن وجمال روحانی نقش گری...
This study aims to draw a comparative analysis of the powers of local governments in Karachi. The subject of local government structure and its authority has become more important in the current local scenario. The findings of the study reveal that in past successive civilian governments in Pakistan did not pay attention to developing a solid local government system and instead preferred controlling districts and tehsils through the bureaucracy, with the absence of democracy and accountability at the local level. Instead of using this third tier of the government for the delivery of swift and better municipal services, they always made an effort to keep them weakened through legislation at different levels. The situation has now got worst in the biggest city and economic hub of Pakistan where people are deprived of basic facilities due to a handicapped system. The Mayor of the biggest city of Pakistan felt powerless as the provincial government through the Sindh Local Government Act 2013 deprived the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation of its main functions. The local bodies will have to be given the authority and essential powers. Only then these institutions can be made capable of providing basic services to the people.
