وہ جو روٹھیں گے تو ہر بار منانا ہو گا
پیار کرنا ہے تو یہ بوجھ اُٹھانا ہو گا
ہے یقیں مجھ کو نہ آئیں گے شبِ وعدہ وہ
پھر نیا اُن کا کوئی اور بہانہ ہو گا
کیوں بناتے ہو محلات ذرا سوچو تو
ایک دن تم کو انھیں چھوڑ کے جانا ہو گا
ہم چلیں گے تو کوئی ساتھ نہ دے گا اپنا
وہ چلیں گے تو رفاقت کو زمانہ ہو گا
گو کہ مشکل ہے زمانے سے بچانا تائبؔ
پھر بھی دامن تو بہر طور بچانا ہو گا
BackgroundMany women enjoy wearing high heels despite knowing they can harm their feet. Many uncomfortable conditions can originate from wearing this shoe, leading to biomechanical changes in ankle joints. Hence, the study is aimed to identify the effects of massage therapy in improving muscular flexibility among women wearing high heels. MethodologyForty female participants with chronic heel pain were included in the single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Participants were divided into Group-A (Stretching and deep heat) and Group-B (petrissage and deep heat). The treatment was performed for 4 weeks, 3 sessions/week in both groups. Foot function index and ankle dorsiflexion were recorded at baseline and after 4-weeks of intervention. ResultsForty female participants with a mean age of 28.23±6.24 were recruited. Both groups showed significant improvement in all three variables, i.e. Pain, disability, and ankle dorsiflexion. However, Group-B showed more significant results with mean differences of 1.80±2.22 and 4.1±6.7 (p<0.05) for pain and disability, respectively. A similar result was observed for ankle dorsiflexion in which a mean difference of 0.95±1.08 in the left and 1.25±1.12 in the right ankle was observed. ConclusionBoth treatment programs are highly effective in reducing pain, reducing disability, and improving ankle joint ROM. However, petrissage massage and deep heating were superior to superficial heat with static stretching for females with chronic heel pain. DOI: https: //doi. Org/10.59564/amrj/01.01/006
The desire of Muslim economists to have a distinct discipline by establishing this all-encompassing term ‘Islamic economics’ and a system based on the injunctions of Islam to be rightly called Islamic Economic System started off almost five decades ago. This generic qualitative study is an effort to investigate into topical development and the current state of Islamic economic system as an alternate paradigm. The contention of this thesis is to seek answers as to why this viable third alternative of Islamic economics had been ineffective to leave a long-lasting mark in the scholastic circles and most importantly why the paradigmatic shift has not happened for this nascent discipline? For this reason, semi-structured face-to-face and email interviews from a panel of experts both in Islamic and mainstream economics, Islamic theologians, Islamic scholars and banking practitioners, as well as direct references from the two major sources that are Qur’an and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) were taken. Based on the findings of Thematic Analysis (Braun and Clarke, 2006) of this study, this alternate paradigm is a frontrunner in the attempts toward establishing a moral and social economy. Although a lot of efforts are being made towards its application, yet it still fails to attract a large audience and claimed gaps between theoretical construct and real activities seem to suggest otherwise and support this claim made by its opponents that it is no more than a utopian state that tends to challenge the viability of the Islamic economy idea. The study reveals that the stagnation in Islamic economics as a distinct discipline is caused by the scholarly world focusing on peripheral issues rather than shifting their focus on making some serious attempts to address the core aspects of modern economics. This alternative paradigm needs to re-adjust its focus and the Islamic scholars, Islamic and mainstream economists and academicians need to reintroduce Ijtihad, the study reveals the call for attention and strong emphasis on usul-al-ilm (to seek knowledge) primarily usul-al-iqtisad (to seek economics) that could provide solutions to our economic problems.
