معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر گفتگو کرنی ہے وہ ہے’’عظمت ِوالدین‘‘
صاحب ِصد ر!
والدین ایک عظیم نعمت ہیں ، ان کا وجود مسعود رحمت ہی رحمت ہے۔ ان کی موجودگی اولاد کے لیے باعث ِبرکت ہے، ان کی رضاء میں اللہ کی رضا ہے، ان کی ناراضی میں خدا کی ناراضی ہے۔ حدیث پاک میں ہے کہ جس نے یہ دیکھنا ہو کہ مجھ پر اللہ تعالیٰ راضی ہے یا ناراض تو وہ اپنے والدین کا چہرہ دیکھ لے اگر والدین خوش ہیں تو رب تعالیٰ بھی خوش ہے اگر والدین ناراض ہیں تو رب تعالیٰ بھی ناراض ہے۔

صدرِذی وقار!
والدین کے چہرہ کو دیکھنا ایک عبادت ہے اللہ تعالیٰ مقبول حج کا ثواب عطا فرماتا ہے۔ حدیث پاکؐ میں ہے کہ کسی شخص نے پوچھا کہ مجھ پر سب سے زیادہ حق کس کا ہے آپؐ نے فرمایا کہ تیری ماں ، پھر پوچھا گیا آپؐ نے فرمایا کہ تیری ماں، پھر پوچھا تو آپؐ نے فرمایا کہ تیراباپ۔
معزز سامعین!

The twentieth century is considered as the most notable era for interfaith dialogue and other interreligious activities among the followers of different faiths across the globe. A number of interfaith activities were launched to bring closer, especially, the adherents of the Abrahamic faiths: Jews, Christians and Muslims. Many Christian institutes and organizations are actively involved in such activities. We cannot ignore the role of Christian Study Centers situated across the globe, which are rendering considerable services in the field of interfaith dialogue. One of them is the Christian Study Center Rawalpindi (CSC), Pakistan, which is the focal subject of this research paper. The CSC has a long journey in the course of interfaith dialogue and harmony, as it was its objective since its commencement. The CSC was established in 1967 as an extension of HMI (Henry Martyn Institute, Hyderabad India) to promote interfaith dialogue, harmony and good relationship among the followers of different faiths in Pakistan. It is conceded; the Christian Study Center Rawalpindi has provided great services and contributed a lot to interfaith dialogue, harmony and peace in Pakistan. In this study the efforts were made to evaluate the 50 years dialogical activities of the Christian Study Center (CSC), Rawalpindi.
The present study deals with the personality and vocational interests of the high school students. Relationship between personality and vocational interests and the degree of agreement between vocational aspirations and vocational interests of the students were carried out in the current study. The differences with respect to demographical variables on personality and vocational interests were also explored. The main study was conducted on the sample of 596 students (319 male and 277 female students with a mean age of 15.73 years) belonging to 7 government schools. There were 303 students belonging to science group and 292 students belonging to Arts group. The different relationships between the personality and vocational interests were assessed through a series of statistical analysis of Correlation, Multiple regression analysis, t test and One Way Analysis of Variance. The Alpha reliabilities of main domains of NEO PI-R range from .36 (Openness) to .84 (Conscientiousness). The Alpha reliabilities for scales of Self Directed Search (SDS) range from .53 to .68 for Activities, .55 to .66 for Competencies, .76 to .81 for Occupations, and .71 to .80 for summary scales. The results established the psychometric properties of the instruments. A moderate relationship was found between FFM and Holland model. The study identified the vocational preferences of students with respect to demographical variables. The results revealed significant gender differences on personality and vocational interests. The study also determined the vocational aspirations of the students and found the degree of agreement between vocational aspirations and vocational interests for most preferred careers. The results revealed a moderate state of congruence for careers (doctor and teacher) and a state of incongruence for some careers (army, lawyer, and engineer). The findings of the study are also reinforced from the opinion of experts. Some pertinent areas were identified for future research. The present research contributed both for theory and practice. The findings may be valuable in the field of career counseling as well as for policy makers in the field of education.
