مولانا حیدر حسن صاحب محدث ٹونکی کی وفات
مولانا حیدر حسن خاں صاحب محدث ٹونکی جو تقریباً دس پندرہ برس تک دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء لکھنؤ میں شیخ الحدیث رہ کردوسال ہوئے کہ ریاست کی خواہش پر اپنے وطن چلے گئے تھے، افسوس ہے کہ چند روز ہوئے کہ اپنے وطن ہی میں وفات پائی ، محدث مرحوم اورا ن کے بڑے بھائی مولانا محمود حسن خاں صاحب مصنف معجم المصنفین اس وقت کے علماء میں ایسے دو نامور فرد تھے کہ جن کے وجود پر علم و فضل اور ورع و تقویٰ کو ناز تھا، الحمدﷲ کہ ابھی مولانا محمود حسن خاں صاحب ہم میں موجود ہیں، مگر افسوس ہے کہ ان کے چھوٹے بھائی مولانا حیدر حسن خاں صاحب نے اس عالم فانی کو الواداع کہا، ایسے زمانہ میں جب نام کے مولویوں کی تعداد گو کثرت حاصل کررہی ہے، مگر کام کے علماء روز بروز کم سے کم ہوتے جارہے ہیں، مرحوم کی وفات مشرقی علم و فضل کی کائنات میں حادثہ عظیم سمجھی جائے گی۔

Prisoners’ reintegration is the core concept of almost all penal systems in the world. One of the potent tools to ensure prisoners’ reintegration is effective network of religious services within prisons. This paper aims at exploring the role of religious interventions in the reintegration of prisoners with specific focus on Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) jails. Six high profile jails---Central Jail Peshawar, Haripur, Bannu, and District Jail Timergara, Mardan and Kohat of KP were purposively selected. Mixed methodology, more specifically concurrent triangulation technique, was used to collect and analyze the data. Of all 261 respondents, 250 comprised of jail inmates (under-trial and convicted adults and juveniles male prisoners) were randomly selected within the six jails of the province and interviewed through semi-structured questionnaire. The remaining 11 respondents, purposively selected and interviewed through interview-guide included jail officials of all the selected prisons (6 in numbers) and ex-prisoners (5 in numbers). It was found that a clear majority of the respondents considered religious interventions instrumental in accomplishing the goal of prisoners’ reintegration i.e, making them law abiding, productive, contributing and pro-social citizens. Many of the apparently incorrigible and potentially dangerous prisoners altered the course of their lives once they went through religious programs inside prisons. It was also discovered that in KP prisons, there was no effective network of chaplaincy services, and often these services were provided by self-motivated religious prisoners and rarely by the prison management with the collaboration of NGOs. Yet, the existing religious interventions had an extraordinary impact in terms of reforming the inmates. Hence, it is recommended that any prisons’ reform strategy must incorporate a well-designed framework of religious programs to transform criminals into an asset for society.
A Study of Human Motives In The Light of The Holy Quran
This research work aims at the study of human motives of actions and behaviour in the light of the Qur'an,
psychoanalysis and some theories of behaviorism and genetics. It also includes the study of the factors,
which initiate, motivates and affect the motives behind human actions and behaviour.
Mainly, psychoanalytical or psychodynamic approach has been adopted. However, in addition to it,
following are some of the theories, which, have largely been employed in this research work:
1. Genetic Behaviour
2. Social Learning Theory of Albert Bandura
3. Situational Attribution by Philip Zimbardo
4. Hierarchy of Human Needs by Abraham Maslow
5. Narcissism
We believe that God is the creator of man, He knows him well. He knows the innermost secrets of his
heart. Since we know from the holy scriptures that God wants to cure and correct man's actions and
behaviour, it is obvious that He must have revealed to man his true nature and the real motives of his
actions and behaviour in His divine books, especially in the Qur'an; so that, man may beware of himself
and his true nature and may improve his actions and behaviour with the help of this knowledge. This is
the theme of this research thesis. Therefore, the postulation of this research work is that God is the best
psychoanalyst.
Some philosophical and metaphysical problems have also been discussed in this research work to
establish foundations and parameters for the proposed study. Then, different modes of human behaviour
and actions, mentioned in the Qur'an, have been discussed in the light of the Qur'an, psychoanalysis,
psychodynamics, and the above-mentioned theories of behaviorism and genetics. Next, the good and bad
personalities of the Qur'an have been discussed to determine the motives of their behaviour and the
factors, which caused such behaviour. Next, the nations and their collective behavior have been analyzed
with the same methodology. Scientific theories of behavior, except for genetics, are least consulted here
as the author believes that human behavior and motives are not a subject completely scientific. They are
more the subject of social sciences. In the end, the thesis concludes with some conclusions and
recommendations for possible application of the findings of this work and for further research work, in
the future.
