غزل
ڈاکٹر مقصود جعفری
کب تک رہِ اُلفت پہ تُو نادان رہے گا؟
اِس رہ پہ چلے گا تو پریشان رہے گا
اب بارِ محّبت کو سفینے سے اتارو
ورنہ یہ سفینہ تہہِ طوفان رہے گا
ہر دور کے آمر سے لڑائی رہی میری
ہاتھوں میں مرے اِن کا گریبان رہے گا
اِن دین فروشوں میں ہے اوہام پرستی
اِنساں کی اسیری میں ہی اِنسان رہے گا
یہ بارشِ الہام تو ہوتی ہی رہے گی
جب تک میرے اشعار میں وجدان رہے گا
کیا اہلِ جُنوں عقل و خرد کے ہوۓ دشمن ؟
کیا کلبۂ ادراک بھی سُنسان رہے گا؟
دربانی مجھے آتی نہیں جعفری صاحب
دربار کا دربان ہی دربان رہے گا

جو ووٹ دوسروں کے تھے آپس میں بٹ گئے
چشمِ زدن میں سارے نتائج اُّلٹ گئے
اپنی طرف سے کچھ بھی اضافی نہیں کہا
جو لفظ بھی رٹائے گئے تھے وہ رٹ گئے
پوچھے کوئی کیوں اپنی صفیں روندتے ہوئے
پورس کے ہاتھیوں کی طرح وہ پلٹ گئے
محروم اپنے حق سے جو ناحق کیے گئے
مظلوم ظالموں کے مقابل میں ڈٹ گئے
سورج نئی سحر کا نمودار ہوگیا
بادل جو گِھر کے آئے تھے کالے وہ چھٹ گئے
دھندلا دیے ہیں وقت نے اپنے بھی خد و خال
آئینہ رخ بھی دھول میں لمحوں کی اٹ گئے
خسروؔ لکھیں گے نوکِ مژہ سے بھی حالِ دل
چھینا گیا قلم جو کبھی ہاتھ کٹ گئے

There are a lot of profound effects of attributes of Allah on the human social life. When the person recognizes the attributes of Allah, he starts efforts to adopt those attributes through which he succeeds in his practical life. In fact the knowledge of Allah’s attributes is the base of all kinds of knowledge and beleives. This paper is a study to develop the moral narms, human behavior and impact of attributes of Allah Almighty on the human society in this life and in the life hereinafter, so that it may be practiced to strengthen the moral attitudes and beleieves of the Muslim society as well as the human behavior in their life.
This study explored the key stakeholders' experiences of the BEd (Hons) elementary programme in two teacher education institutions (TEIs)-a teacher education department at a public sector university and a government elementary college of education, in Karachi, Pakistan. Within qualitative research tradition, phenomenological design was employed to explore key stakeholders' perceptions and experiences about selected aspects (i.e. curriculum, teaching, assessment and practicum). Twenty-two participants including two heads of departments, four teacher educators, four cooperating teachers, four graduate students and eight graduating students, were selected purposefully, thereby, ensuring maximum variation sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis. The findings revealed that the programme is appreciated mainly in relation to its new features (e.g. revised curriculum and practicum). Factors pertaining to stakeholders' involvement and programmatic changes facilitated programme delivery. Whereas, factors in relation to resources, conduction of practicum, teachers' capacity, alignment of the programme with the overall education system, coordination among the related stakeholders, specialisation courses, background of the prospective teachers, and accountability, hindered stakeholders' efforts towards programme delivery. However, initiatives at personal, group and TEIs levels (e.g. utilizing personal resources and revising practicum), were reported to be taken to overcome the challenges. The study also found that the stakeholders at the university are more privileged in that they enjoy more autonomy in decision-making with regards to programme delivery as compared to their college counterparts, which makes the university more enabling for the programme as compared to the college. Overall, stakeholders see less hope and opportunities than fears and uncertainties, pertaining to the future of the BEd (Hons) programme. The findings of the study suggest that the programme could be delivered more effectively if the required material resources were provided to the TEIs, capacity building of the teacher educators and the cooperating teachers were ensured and coordination and alignment were ensured amongst various stakeholders at the level of policies and practices. Moreover, the regulatory bodies (e.g. The National Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (NACTE)) have to play an active role to constantly review and monitor the programme for ensuring its relevance and effectiveness. For future studies, it is suggested that a country wide analysis of the current scenario of teacher education and TEIs be carried out for improving the missing links in the system.
