جہاد کے نام پر اغوا کا کاروبار
جہاد کے نام پر اغوا کا کاروبار ایک المیہ ہے ہمارے معاشرے میں بہت سی تنظیمیں جن کا وجود اب معاشرے میں موجود ہے اور ان کی بہتات کی وجہ سے اکثر دشمن سادہ لوگوں کی سادگی کا فائدہ اٹھاتے ہیں کوئی مذہب کا واسطہ دے کر بچوں کے کچے ذہن سیکھیلتا ہے،تو کوئی وطن کی محبت کا لالچ دل میں ڈال کر ور غلاتا ہے۔غیرت کا سودا کرنے کا ہنر ایسی تنظیموں میں عروج پر پایا جاتا ہے۔گاؤں میں آکر ایسی تنظیمیں بچوں کو اپنے وطن کو خطرے میں بتا کر اور ان کے آباؤاجداد کے قصے سناکر ان کے ایمان کو ہتھیار بناکر کہ تم لوگ مومن ہو کیسے چپ بیٹھے ہو اور ان کوان کی مرضی سے یہاں سے ایک ایسی دنیا میں لے جایا جاتا ہے۔جہاں گھر والوں کو وہ اپنی مرضی سے چھوڑ چلے جاتے ہیں اور وہاں انھیں اپنے غلط عزائم کیلئے استعمال کیا جاتا ہے۔ایسی ہی صورت حال کا ذکر اس نے بھی کہانی میں کیا ہے ایک ایسا گروہ جس نے گاؤں کے سکول میں آکر کچھ ایسے ہی کہانی سنا کر بچوں کو جہاد کے نام پر اپنے ساتھ لے گئے۔لکھتے ہیں :
’’کہتے ہیں جس یاجوج ماجوج کا ذکر قرآن میں آیا ہے وہ قوم بڑی ظالم ہیاور اس نے ہماری دیواروں کوچاٹ کر توڑ دیا ہے۔اگر انھیں نہ روکا گیا تو سب کو کھا جائیں گے۔اس لیے اپنے آپ کوبچانے کیلئے نکلو‘‘(13)
یہاں مصنف نے ناول کو ایک نیا موڑ دیا۔ عدیلہ جو کہ عماد کی ماں ہے وہ اپنے بیٹے کی جدائی میں اس گروہ کے پیچھے لگ گئی اور سارا ماجرا سامنے آگیا۔یعنی یہ تنظیم جو کہ جہاد کے نام پر ...
The position of poetry remained unchanged in Islam as it was before Islam, however with due some changes it was used as a weapon for the sake of Islam. This article will explain that how the poetry played a vital role in preaching of Islam. Islam absolutely encourages good wholesome poetry, which inspires one towards the fear of Allah, towards His awe and obedience, and towards anything that is good and made permissible by Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ). Following discussions are made in this article: Firstly Qur’anic views towards poetry; as the word poet came in Qur’an four times while the word poetry once. The total verses in which we see the word poetry are six. Secondly preaching of ethics through poetry; as we see that before Islam the Arab society was without any ethics, the Muslim poet called them for an exemplary life like of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) Using of Qur’anic notion in poetry. Thirdly the Qur’anic notion was used largely in the beginning of Islam, especially by Ḥassān bin Thābit, ʻAbdullāh Bin Rawāḥah, Kaʻb Bin Zubayr and Nābighah Al Jaʻdī etc. Fourthly Answer to non-believers through poetry; as Ḥassān bin Thābit did through his poetry, and answer to the opposition, which impacts more sharp than sword and lastly using of Poetry during the war; it was considered as one of the biggest source for encouraging towards holly wars, the example of Haḍrat Khansā is most prominent. The research article basically focuses upon the importance of poetry in Islam, moreover how the weapon of poetry has been used by Islamic poets for defending Islam and how Islamic poetry vastly used for spreading of golden teachings of Islam.
Classroom experiences play a vital role in developing students' conceptual understanding of mathematics. Therefore, it is essential to engage students in such mathematical tasks in the classroom which provide students opportunities for reasoning, conjecturing, pattern seeking and generlizing in a collaborative learning environment. The National Curriculum of Mathematics (2006) also emphasizes the changing role of teachers from knowledge transformers to facilitators in the student-directed learning process and this cannot be achieved unless teachers are provided professional development to choose and design mathematical tasks for their students which promotes students mathematical reasoning and conceptual understanding. This study explored the ways through which a primary mathematics teacher brought improvement in her selection and implementation of mathematical tasks for developing students' mathematical understanding. The reported study used Collaborative Action Research which comprised four action research cycles using Lewin's model of Action Research that aimed to explore progress in the participant teacher's task selection and implementation. Data for the study were collected from a private school in Karachi Pakistan where I worked with one mathematics teacher for more than two months. Data collection tools included classroom observations, semi structured interviews, reflections/reflective sessions and students' sample work. The findings of the study demonstrated that the factors resulting in improvement of teacher's task selection and implementation includes the facilitation by the mentor teacher, enhancement in one's own content and pedagogies knowledge and development of a teacher's understanding of students' cognitive level. The findings of the study also revealed that the common factors influencing the selection of mathematics tasks comprised shortage of time, obligation of syllabus coverage, level of students' understanding, students' prior knowledge and teacher's belief about mathematics. This study also highlighted the residing factors influencing the implementation of rich mathematical task which include the nature of the selected task, its alignment with students' prior knowledge, amount of time provided to students and mainly the role of the teacher in implementing the tasks. Based on the findings, this study recommends that classroom teachers should be provided some autonomy to make modifications in the syllabus. Moreover, the school management should work for teachers' professional development by arranging in- service teacher training sessions for lifelong learning.
