رئیس احمد جعفری
سید نجیب اشرف صاحب مرحوم کی موت کا زخم ابھی تازہ تھا کہ ندوے کے ایک اور نامور فرزند رئیس احمد جعفری نے بھی داغ مفارقت دیا، اکتوبر کی آخری تاریخوں میں پاکستان میں ان کا انتقال ہوا، جوار لکھنؤ کا قصبہ خیرآباد ان کا وطن تھا، مشہور شاعر، ریاض خیر آبادی کے نواسے تھے، راقم جب ندوہ میں آخری درجوں میں تھا، مرحوم ابتدائی درجوں میں تھے، عربی کی تعلیم کے بعد جامعہ ملیہ میں انگریزی کی تعلیم حاصل کی، پھر خلافت اخبار بمبئی کے اڈیٹوریل اسٹاف میں ملازم ہوگئے، بعد میں اس کے اڈیٹر بھی ہوگئے تھے، قیام پاکستان کے بعد لاہور چلے گئے۔
مرحوم میں تالیف و تصنیف کا ذوق فطری تھا، طالب علمی کے زمانے میں بھی خامہ فرسائی کیا کرتے تھے، ان کے قلم میں بڑا زور تھا، جس پر ان کی پہلی تصنیف سیرت محمد علی شاہد ہے، اس وقت ان کی عمر پچیس چھبیس سال سے زیادہ نہ رہی ہوگی، بڑے زودنویس تھے، ان کا قلم ہمیشہ رواں دواں رہتا تھا، بڑی بڑی ضخیم کتابیں چند دن میں لکھ ڈالتے تھے، ادب و افسانے سے لے کر تاریخ و مذہبیات تک میں ان کے قلم کی جولانی یکساں تھی، ہر صنف میں ان کی تصانیف موجود ہیں، اس دور کے مصنفین میں کثرت تصانیف کے لحاظ سے ان کا نام سرفہرست ہوگا، ادارہ ثقافت اسلامیہ لاہور کے قیام کے بعد اس سے متعلق ہوگئے تھے، اور اس کے لیے کئی کتابیں لکھیں، اس کے رسالہ ثقافت اسلامیہ حال المعارف میں ان کے مضامین نکلتے رہتے تھے، اس کے تازہ اکتوبر نمبر میں بھی ان کا ایک مضمون ’’عالم اسلام سے مسلمانان برعظیم کی وابستگی‘‘ شائع ہوا ہے، کیا خبر تھی کہ یہ ان کا آخری مضمون ہے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، نومبر ۱۹۶۸ء)
No doubt, that Allah’s book, the Holy Quran came for gathering the hearts, joining the ranks, strengthening the love and affection, kindness and justice, coordination between family and society, to build the strong coordinated society and orphan especially about the loss of their rights and depriving of their properties or engulf them wrongly. This paper discusses the care of the Quran with the orphans in all the dimensions of their rights and the situation of Qura’nic training/education for them, so that they can become strong parts for the society. Most of the coming verses discusses/narrates about them. Stating the meaning from them for all the justices that the Quran preceded all those demanding the justice for orphans rather it gave them with complete explanations. No explanations disturb anything about it knowledgeable, that the verses of the Quran presented 22 verses in which word of the orphan mentioned with the people 8 times and with the dual once and with the plural 14 times and he who explore these verses finds them divided into three types and the 1st type presents the mentioning of kindness/ charity, and testament/will for them in our Shariah and in the previous Shariahs, and the 2nd type mentions their social rights, so this paper studies all the dimensions of orphans’ life in the light of Qura’nic method with detail, so I liked to divide my this research paper into preface, 3 chapters and ending whereas preface includes the definition of orphan, and 1st chapter states the kindness/charity to the orphan and testament for them in the light of our Shariah and including the definition of orphan, and 2nd chapter presents their social rights as the 3rd takes care of their financial rights. In the ending comes with the important recommendations and suggestions.
This research was designed to measure students’ satisfaction with learning facilities at universities level in Pakistan. The major objectives of the study were; i) to find out students’ satisfaction level on learning facilities in universities; ii) to find out the gaps between desired and available learning facilities for the students. The population of this work consisted of the students of the universities working in public sector. Multiple stage random sampling technique was used to select the sample. The students of eleven (11) general universities were randomly selected for this study; 4 from the Punjab, 2 from Sindh, 2 from Khyber Pakhtoon Khawa, 1 from Baluchistan and 2 federally administered universities. Total sample comprised of 1320 students from 6 disciplines of social sciences. Two research tools were used to collect the required information; one was survey questionnaire based on 3-point Likert-scale having two major options on satisfaction and importance, second tool was group interviews having questions on four learning facilities with leading questions. The group interview helped to find out information not accessed by the survey questions. This study focused only on four learning facilities; curriculum, teaching faculty, classrooms, and library. Before giving final shape to the questionnaire its reliability was assured with the help of internal consistency method and validity by getting expert opinions as well as construct validity by calculating correlation values among items and variables. It took three steps to bring the questionnaire into final shape. Levels of satisfaction and importance were measured by giving range to mean values. The study concluded that the respondents level of satisfaction was moderate on four learning facilities while have indicated high level of importance to three facilities. The study also concluded that the respondents were more satisfied on courses provided by the universities among the measured learning facilities while less satisfied to classroom facilities. With respect to importance the respondents have given more importance to teaching facility and less to the courses. It is recommended that government, administrations as well as teachers should adopt necessary measures to look into the matter to more satisfy students. The need to improve and appropriate training has also surfaced as a result of this investigation. Lack of students’ satisfaction with facilities could be a factor among youth decisions to avail the chance to study in other country and study elsewhere.
