آہ! ڈاکٹر وحید مرزا
گزشتہ ماہ ریڈیو سے خبر ملی کہ اس برصغیر کے ایک بہت ہی لائق اور ممتاز اہل علم ڈاکٹر وحید مرزا کی وفات لاہور میں ہوگئی، اس خبر سے بڑا دکھ ہوا، ان سے میری ملاقات زیادہ نہیں رہی، اب سے ۳۵ سال پہلے ۱۹۴۱ء میں دہرہ دون میں تو ان سے برابر ملنے کا موقع ملا، اس کے بعد پھر کہیں ان سے نہیں ملا، مگر وہ اس وقت سے برابر دل و دماغ پر چھائے رہے ہیں ۱۹۴۱ء میں ایک طویل علالت کے بعد دہرہ دون جاکر تقریباً تین مہینے رہا، سرسید احمد خان ہم عصر اور دوست منشی ذکا اﷲ مرحوم کے نامور فرزند جناب عنایت اﷲ صاحب نے اپنی کوٹھی کے دو کمرے میرے قیام کے لئے دے دیئے تھے، اسی زمانہ میں لکھنؤ سے ڈاکٹر وحید مرزا دہرہ دون آکر اپنے خسر جناب رضاء اﷲ کے یہاں مقیم تھے، جو جناب عنایت اﷲ صاحب کے چھوٹے بھائی تھے، انجینئر کے عہدہ سے ریٹائر ہوکر دہرہ دون میں ایک بنگلہ بنایا تھا، دونوں بزرگوں کا وطن دہلی تھا، مگر عنایت اﷲ صاحب نے دہرہ دون ہی میں ڈالن والاکے سیمی روڈ پر منتقل سکونت اختیار کرلی تھی، ان ہی کے بنگلہ کی پشت پر رضا اﷲ صاحب کا بنگلہ تھا، ڈاکٹر وحید مرزا ان دنوں لکھنؤ یونیورسٹی میں استاذ تھے، وہ دہرہ دون آئے تو عنایت اﷲ صاحب کو سلام کرنے آئے، وہیں ان سے میرا تعارف ہوا، قد لمبا اور جسم دبلا پتلا تھا، دونوں گال پچکے ہوئے تھے، کیونکہ منہ کے تمام دانت نکلوا دیئے تھے، پتلون اور قمیض پہنے ہوئے تھے، بڑے متین اور سنجیدہ نظر آئے، خاموش بیٹھے رہے، عنایت اﷲ صاحب کی باتوں کا جواب بہت ہی مختصر طریقے پر دے کر خاموش ہوجاتے، جب وہ اٹھ کر چلے گئے تو عنایت اﷲ صاحب...
The Problematic narration has always been under the special focus of the commentators of Hadith. This important branch of Hadith sciences, in fact, removes all objections that arise on the text of an authentic narration of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). Mulla Ali Al-qari, being a famous commentator has opted for a comprehensive pattern in solving such problematic narrations in his famous commentar0y on Mishqat Al-masabih named Mirqat Al-mafatih. This article is an effort to explore his style by presenting ten examples from this voluminous commentary. Qari has at first, investigated the authenticity of such narration. He has tried to present the views and interpretations of his predecessor scholars such as Nawavi, Ibne-Hajar, Khattabi, etc. He seems to owe a clear viewpoint about this kind of narration that prophetic sayings after being confirmed and authentic as per principles set in Hadith Sciences, must be interpreted in a way that testifies the sanctity of that narration. This research concludes that problematic narrations have been interpreted by Muslim scholars of every age according to the knowledge they possessed. In this modern age of Science and technology, if any such narration has multi interpretations only one may be preferred which is supported by the available modern research It will surely make non-believers inclined to Islam and its eternal teachings.
A Comparative Study of Academic Achievement and Cognitive Development of Students of Public and Private Sector Educational Institutions of Islamabad
Education is the fundamental responsibility of the state, but in order to achieve the objectives of
Universalization of Primary Education (UPE) and Education for All (EFA) along with the objectives of access
and equity, government has allowed private sector to share the responsibility of the state. Presence of two
sectors has created discrepancy in educational quality, which is significant to be explored, as, such differences
may open doors for divide and inequalities in the society.
The objectives of the present study were to explore and compare academic achievement and cognitive
development of students of public and private sectors at primary level. Data were collected from 500 students
of grade V at the end of academic year from 10 public and 10 private sector educational institutions of
Islamabad city. Two research instruments were developed for data collection. For data analysis mean scores
were calculated, and t-test was applied to seek comparison in both sectors.
Findings showed that overall academic achievement of public sector students was better, their performance
remained better in the subject of Mathematics whereas, there was no significant difference in academic
achievement students of both sectors in the subjects of English and Urdu. There was no significant difference
between the cognitive developments of students of both sectors. It was further revealed that female students
outperformed their male counterparts in all subjects and in cognitive development.
Findings of the present study remained inconsistent with most of the previous studies, therefore the
researcher recommended, that all public sector educational institutions should be provided similar
educational facilities and teaching faculty as that in the Islamabad Model Colleges so that all public sector
institutions could perform well. Research work is needed to find out reasons of low performance of male
students, so that efforts could be planned to improve performance of male students in coming future.
