جسٹس خواجہ محمد یوسف
سخت افسوس ہے کہ جسٹس خواجہ محمد یوسف ۹؍ دسمبر ۲۰۰۴ء کو میڈی ویو نرسنگ ہوم میں وفات پاگئے، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
وہ کلکتہ کے بہت محبوب اور ہر دل عزیز شخص تھے، مہینوں سے موت و زیست کی کشمکش میں گرفتار تھے، چند ماہ قبل برلاہارٹ ریسرچ سنٹر میں ان کے دل کا آپریشن ہوا تھا، اس کے بعد ہی سے کچھ نہ کچھ تکلیف رہتی تھی، انتقال سے پندرہ روز پہلے بیماری بڑھ گئی تو نرسنگ ہوم میں داخل ہوئے، ڈاکٹروں کی نگرانی میں امبولنس اور اسٹریچر پر تھوڑی دیر کے لیے ایران سوسائٹی میں تشریف لائے جہاں ۸؍ دسمبر کو ان کے بڑے صاحبزادے خواجہ جاوید یوسف کی شادی ہورہی تھی اور نکاح ہوتے ہی نرسنگ ہوم واپس چلے گئے، ۹؍ دسمبر کی صبح کو اچانک طبیعت زیادہ خراب ہوگئی مگر دوپہر تک سنبھل گئی تو کھانا تناول فرمایا اور سوگئے، شام کو پھر طبیعت خراب ہوئی اور ڈاکٹر کے آنے سے پہلے ہی مالک حقیقی سے جاملے۔
میت گھر پر آئی تو تعزیت کے لیے آنے والوں کا تانتا بندھ گیا، دوسرے دن غسل اور کفن کے بعد دیدار کے لیے جسد خاکی گھر سے متصل اسکول کے ہال میں رکھا گیا تو خلقت ٹوٹ پڑی اور جمعہ بعد جب جنازہ ایک نمبر گوبرا قبرستان لے جانے کے لیے اٹھا تو اس کے ساتھ مسلمانوں کے تمام طبقوں کے علاوہ سکھ، عیسائی، پارسی، ہندو اور بنگالی ہر مذہب و ملت کا ازد حام تھا جو زبانِ حال سے کہہ رہا تھا۔
چل ساتھ کہ حسرتِ دلِ محروم سے نکلے
عاشق کا جنازہ ہے ذرا دھوم سے نکلے
خواجہ صاحب کی موت ملک و ملت خصوصاً کلکتہ اور مغربی بنگال کے مسلمانوں کے لیے بڑا دردانگیز سانحہ ہے، ان کا وجود ان کے لیے رحمت و نعمت...
Many assume that people who have grown up do not have the opportunity to memorize the Qur'an because of the difficulties that will be faced in the process of memorizing it rather than in childhood. This research aims to find out (1) the application of the takrir method in Ponpes Matholib As-Suluk. (2) factors that affect students' ability to memorize by takrir method, (3) the quality of memorization of the holy verse of the Qur'an using the takrir method. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods. Through the technique of interviewing, observation and documentation studies, several findings were obtained: (1) the application of the takrir method in Ponpes Matholib As-Suluk was applied through the repetition of santri memorization in four ways: individual takrir, collective takrir with friends, takrir with teachers, and takrir at prayer time; (2) there are 2 factors that affect the application of takrir methods: internal (santri mood) and external factors (pesantren environmental support); and (3) the application of this method succeeded in improving the quality of santri memorization because the students were able to improve their memorization quite quickly and they were also able to reread verses and surahs that had been memorized quite smoothly.
The underlying research study explores effectiveness of the resources for the users in the Central Library, UoP under topic ‘‘Information Seeking Behaviour (ISB) of Teaching Faculty (TF) and Master (Previous/Final Year Students) (MPFYS) Using Central Library, University of Peshawar.’’ The main objectives of this inquiry were to investigate information resources used by the TF & MPFYS of the UoP in the Central Library and to analyze the extent to which the existing information resources met their needs. It was presumed that the TF & MPFYS were dependent on and faced some problems in using resources in the Central Library. The current investigation is based on a population of 5474 from all the six faculties under stratified random sampling of 890 TF & MPFYS. A sequential and quantitative method approach was adopted to collect the research data through questionnaire as in the earlier similar studies most frequently used methodologies were questionnaires and interviews based surveys. An extensive amount of literature available on information needs and information seeking behaviour of the users was reviewed. The past readings also showed that the determined investigation would influence on the information style of the TF & MPFYS. However, literature relevant to the staff and students using Central Library of the University of Peshawar was not available. Information needs and its seeking behaviour had effects in one way or the other on the learning process that the TF & MPFYS used. All the participants of the study were overall dependent on resources of the Central Library of University of Peshawar. These resources were important, satisfactory and preferable to some extent for the respondents. The printed materials and e-resources available in mother or in non-mother languages in the Central Library appealed to a maximum number of users to accomplish their desired pursuits. The respondents were highly satisfied with the subject books, e-resources, reference books and newspapers. They visited the library as frequently as they felt the need of information. They stayed 2-3 hours per week in the library for using the resources in a peaceful environment. Although the findings indicated that the respondents faced several problems, causing anxiety while using resources in the Central Library, yet they could find 50% of their desired information. The respondents had ‘good’ skills to seek help of the library staff in search of information resources in the Central Library, UoP. They could not be satisfied fully with the staff’s help. It was suggested that the Central Library, University of Peshawar should have designed information system, like orientation programme measures, enrolling high qualified and experienced staff to balance development of collection, manage system for human resources development, addition of computers in the laboratory, provision of secondary services and to arrange alternate power supply. This study may well be repeated after every ten years. No such study like the present one in the University of Peshawar has been conducted so far. This study will, therefore, be of great importance for this university, may for any university in the country.
