مسلسل جدوجہد کا میابی کی کنجی ہے
ایک بچہ ہاتھ میں کتابوں سے بھرا بیگ اٹھائے خراماں خراماں گاؤں کے مشرقی کونے پر موجود سکول کی جانب جارہا تھا۔ چہرے پر بشاشت کے آثار نمایاں تھے۔ کسی منزل پر پہنچنے کا شوق دامن گیرتھا، اپنے بوڑھے والدین اور بہن بھائیوں کی خدمت کا جذ بہ بھی پیش نظر تھا۔ یہی شوقِ تعلیم اس کو اپنے مقصد کی تکمیل کے لیے ممدو معاون ثابت ہوسکتا تھا۔ اس کے شب و روز حصول مقصد کی لگن میں گزررہے تھے۔ دریں اثناء اچانک جاں گسل صدمہ پیش آیا اور اس کے ارمانوں پر پانی پھیر گیا۔ آفت آسمانی سیلاب کی صورت میں اس کے گھر کو قبرستان بنا کر چلی گئی۔ اور گھر کا جملہ سامان عذاب کی صورت میں آنے والے سیلاب نے ختم کر دیا۔ اپنی اس گفتگو کے دوران اس کی آنکھوں میں آنسوؤں کی شکل میں نمی کے آثار نمایاں تھے۔ عظیم منصب پر فائز شخص نے موونگ چئیر پراپنے جسم کو دائیں بائیں متحرک کرتے ہوئے اپنی کامیابی کے راز کو فاش کیا اور کہا کہ شوق اگر چہ کا میابی کے لیے یوں ہے جیسے مچھلی کے لیے پانی ، زندہ رہنے کے لیے خوراک، اور سانس لینے کے لیے ہوا، لیکن شوق کے ساتھ محنت اور مشقت نہ اٹھائی جائے تو صرف شوق بلبلہ بر آب ثابت ہوگا۔
حدیث نبوی صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم ہے کہ استقامت کرامت سے بھی بڑھ کر ہے۔ ایک شخص محنت شاقہ کا بارگراں اُٹھاتا ہے لیکن اس میں بے قاعدگی کا عنصر موجود ہے، باقاعدگی اور تسلسل کا فقدان ہے تو اس کی محنت رنگ نہیں لائے گی ، اس کے گلشن میں بہارنہیں آئے گی، اس کے کھیت و کھلیان کشتِ زعفران کا نمونہ پیش نہیں کریں گے، اس کے طائران خوش الحان...
Compilation and codification of Islamic jurisprudence is a great achievement of the Islamic literary history. The productivity andfertility of the mind of the Muslims Scholars was a true and brilliant field of cognitive process. Ilanafi school of thought display in these Muslims societies from practice point of view always dominated. In this respect the Imam Zufar (RA) (110AH) had been a great scholar in Ilanafi Canon with his unique multi-dimensional features and characteristics. Nevertheless, He iras a prominent jurist, Muhaddis, Justice and Mujtahid. He paved a different path to have difference of opinion with his great teacher Imam Abu Hanifa as well as with the rest offamous jurists. This article emphasis on those principles along with examples that at the end evolved to have become his exclusive principles for inference of the Shari. ahka am. This article will also highlight his versatile scholary life and will help the researchers to investigate about his seminal work.
As regional integration across the globe has proliferated, therefore, the developing countries have made it a leading policy objective to move in parallel and find access to the global market through the instrument of trade liberalization. This strategy has led to the establishment of various bilateral and regional free trade zones across the world. Pakistan is also a member of various bilateral and regional trade organizations. However, Pakistan’s achievements are negligible. To enhance its trade performance, Pakistan is anxious of negotiating additional free trade agreements (FTAs) with the trade partner economies. In addition, the recently proliferated large regional agreements in the Asia-Pacific and Europe such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) have outsiders to these agreements. They are anxious about the implications of these agreements for their own economies and trading relations. Presently, Pakistan is neither the member of TPP nor RCEP; however, desirous to join the two partnerships. In the above-mentioned background, this study aims to undertake an assessment of Pakistan’s position in the free trade agreements. The study also aims to examine the implications of TPP and RCEP for Pakistan and to identify alternative strategies for Pakistan to follow in case the consequences of the said agreements on its economy are negative. This research examines different possible scenarios (simulations) by using the global CGE model framework (MyGTAP). The first one tests the implications of trade liberalization in the context of Pakistan’s existing bilateral FTAs with its trading partners-China, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. The second scenario tests the implications of Pakistan’s potential FTAs with Turkey, Thailand and Korea on its economy. In addition to the primary focus on Pakistan’s FTAs, further simulations are carried out to project the implications of RCEP for the economy of Pakistan. The first one tests the implications of trade liberalization for the existing members of RCEP. The second scenario investigates the impact of Pakistan’s proposed membership of RCEP on the economy of Pakistan. Next is the focus on TPP. The first scenario projects the implications for Pakistan with usual implementation of TPP regulations. The second one investigates the implications of Pakistan’s proposed joining the TPP. The third scenario tries to see the implications of the proposed US’ rejoining of the TPP. Likewise, additional projections are obtained to see the impacts of the European Generalized System of Preferences arrangements such as GSP+ and ‘Everything But Arms’ (EBA) status on the economy of Pakistan.The results of simulations intimate that the overall impact of RCEP and TPP on the economy of Pakistan (as outsider) is negative. However, in case Pakistan succeeds to join the said trade agreements, there will be an overall gain for Pakistan. The impact on the other RCEP and TPP member economies’ GDP and trade is positive with a slightly larger increase in real GDP and trade when Pakistan is included in RCEP and TPP. It is also found that there are overall positive gains for Pakistan from the existing FTAs with China and Malaysia. As such, Pakistan should acquire additional market access from the partners. The results also indicate an overall beneficiary position of Pakistan in the FTA with Thailand. The impact on the GDP and trade volume of the partners is also positive indicating that the agreement leads to win-win position. It is found that the impact of European GSP+ and EBA status on the economy of Pakistan is positive and considerable if Pakistan overcomes the domestic productive limitations.
