ڈاکٹر سید عبداﷲ ۱۴؍ اگست ۱۹۸۶ء کو لاہور میں اس عالم فانی کو چھوڑ کر عالم جاودانی کو سدھارے، اس خبر کو سن کر دل کو ویسی ہی چوٹ لگی جیسے اپنے خاندان کے کسی عزیز فرد کی دائمی جدائی سے لگ سکتی تھی، ان کی رحلت سے علم و ادب کی ایک زمردیں مسند خالی ہوگئی، وہ علمی حلقوں میں عربی زبان کے قدر شناس، فارسی شعر و ادب کے رمز شناس، اردو کے عناصر خمسہ اور شعراء کے اداشناس، علامہ محمد اقبال کے جوہر شناس، اور اپنی نظر و فکر کے نکتہ شناس کی حیثیت سے یاد کیے جائیں گے، پاکستان میں اردو کو قومی زبان بنانے میں شاہین اور عقاب بن کر جس طرح جھپٹے، پلٹے اور پلٹ کر جھپٹے، اس کی یادیں بھی لوگوں کے دلوں کو گرماتی رہیں گی، ان کی تصانیف سے یونیورسٹی کے اساتذہ نے اردو کے ادیبوں اور شاعروں کو سمجھ کر جس طرح طلبہ کو سمجھایا، اس کی عنبریں یادیں بھی زریں حروف سے لکھی جائیں گی، اور پھر انسائیکلوپیڈیا آف اسلام کی تکمیل کر کے لوگوں کی دیرینہ آرزوؤں کے ریگ زار کو جس طرح شاداب مرغزار بنادیا، اس کی یادوں کے کنول بھی ہمیشہ کھلے رہیں گے، اور کس کو اس سے انکار ہوسکتا ہے کہ وہ علم و فن کے سیاروں میں عطارد بن کررہے، اور ساٹھ ۶۰ سال کی علمی خدمت کے بعد اسی حیثیت سے رخصت ہوئے۔
میری یادوں کی شبستان میں وہ اس طرح دکھائی دیں گے کہ وہ مجھ سے مل رہے ہیں، گلے لگارہے ہیں، اور کہہ رہے ہیں کہ میں تو اپنے کو مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ کا فرزند معنوی سمجھتا ہوں، ان ہی کی تحریروں سے تحقیق کرنا سیکھا ہے، میں تم سے ملتا ہوں تو محسوس کرتا ہوں کہ سگے بھائی سے مل رہا...
Religion Islam has given equal rights to men and women in the field of education. For men education was compulsory and women were encouraged to seek education. Both males and females have been referred to using polygamous section for education while women are often encouraged and especially emphasized. The Prophet(SAW)arranged special seats for the gender critical in order to highlight the importance of women education. That was way the passion for special education in women grew so much that women discussed global issues with men and solved to reject men’s judgement. It was the influence of this academic moment that many Muslim women not only made a name for themselves, but also wrote books on various research topic in the field of Hadith, Commentary, Iftaa and many other Sciences. Thanks for this global revolution Muslim rulers not only provided a learning environment for their children but also established large educational institutions for ordinary women. The astonishing thing is that despite this wonderful past today Muslims are unable to provide a safe and secure opportunity for education to women.
It is very sad to see that most of the parents spend their hard earned money for their children to get education but in return their children pass out from some private schools only with a certificate saying passed in so and so grade, but having failed to literally learn all the four skills of English language like the listening, speaking, reading and writing. They leave school without especially having the confidence of speaking in English. It was this concern that made me to initiate my study. Furthermore, experiencing the students practicing rote memorization for each and every subject was also very disturbing. This study explores the practices for teaching and learning of English and science disciplines. The purpose was also to look at the hindering and facilitating factors for oral proficiency in the classroom teaching in an English medium private school. I used the qualitative research method for this study. It is a case study where I used multiple sources for data collection. Through a series of interviews with the science and the English teachers of classes four and five, I collected the data to know the underlying causes for the students in this English medium school as far as their speaking skill is concerned. I also used the observation method to see the teaching strategy in the classrooms and interviewed students to inform me about the teaching strategy of science and English in their classrooms, and whether this pedagogy is helping them to learn the skill of English speaking. I also wanted to be informed as to what the students consider as opportunities for developing their speaking skill. The teachers were interviewed too, to inform me about their adopted ways of teaching content as well as the speaking skill. The study revealed that developing the speaking skill hard not been given much importance, but the teachers expected students to learn the language by being passive listeners. The study also showed that teaching English language only in the English language period has not sufficient to enhance students' speaking skill, rather incorporating speaking skill across the curriculum was beneficial in developing students' oral proficiency. Factors that hindered the students' oral proficiency were the assessment process which was not practiced in the school and the feedback provided to students also did not give them any opportunity to learn about their mistakes, at the same time did not allow students to express
