شاہ مصطفی احمد ردولوی
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ مہینہ ایک بڑی محترم شخصیت شاہ مصطفی احمد صاحب ردولوی نے انتقال کیا۔ گو ان کو پبلک میں کوئی شہرت حاصل نہیں تھی، لیکن ان کی زندگی مسلمانوں کے لیے نمونہ تھی۔ وہ حضرت مخدوم احمد عبدالحق ردولوی قدس سرہ کی اولاد میں تھے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ نے ان کو دین و دنیا دونوں سے نوازا تھا۔ وہ علی گڑھ کالج کے پرانے تعلیم یافتہ تھے۔ اکاؤنٹسی کی تعلیم کے سلسلہ میں ان کا قیام لندن میں بھی رہا تھا، مگر بڑے راسخ العقیدہ اور دیندار مسلمان تھے، تہجد کی نماز تک کبھی ناغہ نہ ہوئی، لندن کے قیام کے زمانہ میں بھی روزے نماز کی پابندی میں فرق نہیں آیا، اس زمانہ میں جب تک ذبیحہ کے متعلق پورا اطمینان نہ ہوجاتا تھا گوشت نہ کھاتے تھے، سبزی اور انڈے پر قناعت کرتے تھے، پہلی جنگ عظیم چھڑنے کے بعد ایمڈن جہاز سے واپس آرہے تھے جس کو جرمنی نے تارپیڈو کردیا تھا، اس کے جو مسافر بچ گئے تھے، ان میں ایک شاہ صاحب بھی تھے، انھوں نے کل سامان چھوڑ کر صرف کلام مجید ساتھ لے لیا تھا۔
انھوں نے معمولی حیثیت سے ترقی کی اور بڑی دولت پیدا کی اور اسی فیاضی سے اس کو مذہبی و ملی کاموں اور غرباء و مساکین پر صرف کیا، ان کے در سے کوئی مستحق واپس نہ جاتا تھا، اہم کاموں کے لئے بڑی رقمیں دے دیتے تھے، خواجہ کمال الدین مرحوم کو کلام مجید کے جرمن ترجمے کے لیے دس ہزار روپے دیئے تھے، تحریک خلافت کے زمانہ میں خلافت کمیٹی اور اس کے لیڈروں کی بھی مدد کرتے رہتے تھے، اس زمانہ میں ترکوں کی مدد کے لیے ہندوستان میں جو انگورہ لیجن قائم ہوا تھا، اس کے پرجوش رکن تھے، مسلم یونیورسٹی سے پرانا تعلق تھا،...
Dispensation of justice is a prerequisite for any society to move forward. The concept of justice encompasses whole spheres of life. The judicial system of Islam is based on a very strong footing. According to the Sharia, testimony is one means of proof. One aspect of it is 'evidence of woman' which has been discussed by the jurists in detail. According to the majority opinion, evidence of women is acceptable only in civil cases and Ta'azirat. , while it is not acceptable for the punishment of Hudood and Qisas. They have based their opinion on some verses of the Holy Quran and the Traditions, while there is a strong opinion of some other jurists that there is no restriction on the evidence of women in all kinds of cases. This article deals with the issue in which different opinions of the jurists have been presented with their arguments
This study explores how a teacher in an English language classroom of Early Childhood Development section (ECD-IV) teaches young children's creative writing skills. Using a qualitative case study method, the research was conducted in a community school in Karachi, Pakistan. In this study, the primary research participants were one ECD- IV language teacher and four young children aged between seven to eight years. The data was generated through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations and the document analysis. The major findings reveal that although the language teacher (LT) provides opportunities to the young children to practice creative writing, the children do not explicitly express their creative thoughts and ideas while writing creatively. During the study, the six lessons that I observed, informed me that once in a week, the LT provides a topic to the children for doing creative writing. Most of the time, the children are expected to complete the given story, which indicates that the teacher only expects the product in one lesson from the children and ignores the process of writing. In addition, it is also evident from the data that the LT has an ambiguous perception about the writing process. Rather, she mixes it up with the steps she follows to introduce creative writing. Moreover, the teaching pattern exhibits similarity in the lesson delivery of the teacher. The LT introduces the topic through a detailed or lengthy discussion, after which she asks children to write some sentences to complete the task. During lesson presentations, it was observed that teacher's interactions with the children are most of the time bilingual or sometimes translation from English to Urdu, where as children completely used Urdu language in interacting with their peers and teacher. Hence, when it comes to writing, they experience difficulty in expressing their thoughts in English language. Findings also inform that the LT checks creative writing only for the assessment purpose, as she checks the grammar, spellings and hand writing of the children. This creates ambiguity between the concept of nurturing creativity and the convention of language, which consequently increase young children's struggle to write creatively. Eventually, the whole picture of findings project that there is a dire need to bring improvement in the practice of teaching and learning of creative writing in the ECD classroom. Therefore, the study ends with some recommendations offered for the purpose of improvement.
