13. Ar-Ra’d/The Thunder
I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah
The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

Alif. Lam. Mim. Ra’.
These are the Messages of the Divine Book – The Qur’an.
What is revealed on to you – O The Prophet - from your Rabb - The Lord is the truth.
Yet most people do not believe it to be so.
13:02
It is Allah WHO raised up the celestial realm without any visible support as you can see.
Then, HE established HIMSELF upon the Throne of Almightiness.
And made the sun and the moon subservient to HIS laws, each running its predetermined course until the Last Hour.
Thus, HE directs all matters, distinctly explaining every sign of HIS Almightiness so that you may be convinced of the meeting with your Rabb - The Lord.
13:03
And it is HE WHO spread out the earth, and placed firm mountains upon it, and running
rivers,
and made two of a pair of every fruit/plant-vegetation,
and HE covers up the daytime with the nighttime.
Indeed, these are the wonders of HIS Unique Creative Power for a people who reflect.
13:04
And on the earth, there are tracts of land adjoining one another, and yet different from one another, and
vineyards, and
sown fields, and
date-palms,
growing in clusters from a shared root or not of a shared root,
yet they are all irrigated by the same one water stream.
And yet WE favor some of its fruit in flavor and taste over others.
Surely in that are wonders of HIS Unique Creative Power for a people of understanding.

Hypertriglyceridemia is third prevailing cause of acute pancreatitis after biliary and alcoholic etiology. It accounts for 1 to 4% cases of pancreatitis. Present case describes a thirty years old diabetic male, who presented in emergency with pain in the abdomen and yellow discoloration of the skin. He was admitted with suspicion of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), but no improvement was seen after DKA treatment. His laboratory investigations showed normal serum amylase levels and dyslipidemia with raised serum triglycerides levels. He was diagnosed as acute pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia, which is considered as a rare cause of acute pancreatitis.
Organizational learning culture, career issues and perceived job performance have widely entangled the attention of researchers because of its academic and practical implications. The subject area has extensively been investigated, yet it still has vast potential for further research. Previous researches have studied these variables in bits and pieces. The current study consolidates these variables into one model and puts the model for validation with the empirical evidence from colleges’ teaching staff in Malakand Division. The study used a sample of 395 faculty members collected from colleges in the Malakand Division through stratified random sampling technique. The hypothesized model of the current research is an interdependence model that is why this model is evaluated through Confirmatory Factor Analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Path diagrams have been drawn through AMOS. Findings of the current research, in major, validated the hypothesised model which have theoretical basis in the findings of the previous research regarding organizational learning culture, employees’ career issues and their positive impact on employees’ perceived job performance. These results have significant implications; including enabling researchers to enhance their understanding of these relationships as well as help policy makers to critically look into such relationships when formulating policies that affect employees’ performance. Academically, these findings enrich the existing body of knowledge on organizational learning culture and its impact via other HR interventions in the developing countries like Pakistan. Future research studies should explore other antecedents like organizational citizenship behaviour, organizational justice and organizational politics to have a more in-depth approach in the field. Some may replicate this study in other settings as well as in some other developing countries.
