میاں مہر محمد خاں شہاب
میاں مہر محمد خاں شہاب کی وفات بھی اہل علم کے حلقہ میں رنج و افسوس کے ساتھ سنی جائے گی، وہ مالیر کوٹلہ کے رہنے والے تھے، لیکن پچاس سال سے بمبئی میں قیام تھا، اردو، فارسی، عربی اور انگریزی سے خوب واقف تھے، ہندی بھی جانتے تھے، اور مرہٹی سے بھی ایک حد تک مانوس تھے، ان کی زندگی علمی کمال کے ساتھ حسن اخلاق سے بھی آراستہ تھی، وقت کے التزام اور معمولات کی پابندی میں بے نظیر تھے، وہ بڑے منکسرالمزاج تھے، لیکن کبھی خودداری پر آنچ نہیں آنے دیتے تھے، وہ خوردوں کے ساتھ بڑی محبت و شفقت کے ساتھ ملتے تھے، مگر اس کے باوجود خوردوں کے دل ان کی عظمت کے احساس سے لبریز رہتے تھے، زندگی بھر دوسروں کے ساتھ سلوک کرتے رہے، مگر چار گز کفن کے لئے بھی کسی کا احسان گوارا نہیں کیا، دارالمصنفین کے بڑے قدرداں تھے، اور اس کے کارکنوں سے بڑی محبت سے پیش آتے تھے، اﷲ ان کی روح کو اپنی رحمت و مغفرت سے شاد فرمائے، اور ان کی صاحبزادی، دونوں صاحبزادے، عزیزوں اور دوستوں کو صبر عطا فرمائے، اور ان کی پاکیزہ زندگی کی تقلید کی توفیق نصیب فرمائے۔

Inheritance is a key issue in the Islamic Knowledge base. Its importance has been clarified in Qur’an and Sunnah. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) has referred to it as half of the knowledge and has ordered of seeking inheritance and warned that this will be eliminated first from my Ummah, and also notified that this is volatile nature of knowledge which get lost after memorization if not fully cared and practiced. In the light of above mentioned Hadīths it is worth consideration to make knowledge of Inheritance practicable in everyday life. A reason could be that the arithmetic means used for the solution of Inheritance problems is complicated and time consuming. There it is important to introduce such easy and short arithmetic rules for the solution of Inheritance problem that are easily understandable by both the scholars as well as the common man. This will result in making Inheritance easy to handle and hence will become practicable. In a hadith it is stated that near the day of judgement there will be a conflict between two persons in an Inheritance issue and they will not find a scholar to resolve their problem. In this Article an Introduction and comparison of old and new easy arithmetic principles are made in scholarly manner to introduce new easy methods and draw the attention of the people to such a valuable knowledge and relieve the Phobia of the people regarding it.
The study was designed to investigate the perceptions of principals, teachers, and students regarding capacity building initiatives for Special Children Education of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Those children who are facing some sort of slight impairment can easilyacquire education with normal children. But, the children who are having severe and moderate impairment, need to go to different school, which are especially designed for the special children. Such schools design their own methodology and have different syllabus and methods of instruction. The objectives of the study were to identify the perceptions of students, teachers, and principals regarding capacity building initiatives that are undertaken by different special education institutions for the Special Children Education and formulate workable suggestions for theimprovement ofSpecial Children Education. In order to obtain quantitative and qualitative data in the study, mixed methodology was used which employed a survey questionnaire thatcontained 44 items grouped into 04 broad categories, which were collected from special children and their teacher’s fromtenspecial children schools in Khyber Paktunkhwa. The data were collected from 302 students out of which both were male students and female students of equal number of 151. The total sample teachers were 217 which include 83 male teacher and 45 female teachers.However, the interviews were taken from 10 principals of special children schools. To analyze quantitative data, statistical procedures were run by using SPSS version 16.0. The perceptions of Teachers and students about various capacity building initiatives of students, teachers, and institutions as well as a different problem faced by special children was analyzed by using mean and standard deviation. Secondly, the data was collected through Likert scale which was further put to analyzed through t-test in which Mann Witney U test and Kruskal Wallis U test were applied. As far as qualitative data analysis is concerned, the results from the interview of principals were recorded, coding, theming and documented by making transcripts, along with taking notes by the researcher. The null hypothesis was rejected and it was found out that various services and facilities are provided free to special children in their schools, but most of the time they were neither sufficient nor up-to the mark. As reflected by th quantitative and qualitative data, the curriculum must be equipped with the national and international requirements because the present curriculum needs modification. The data reflected a broad consensus that a teacher may be a good researcher and must be able to tackle classroom problems. There is a need to link research with practice in order to facilitate learning and school life as a whole. It is recommended that all vacant posts of the teachers in the schools need to be fill up as in every special children school there is a shortage of teachers, establish teachers training institutes in the province, initiate awareness campaign on regular basis in order to develop awareness in people and remove the negative attitude towards special children.
