سید صادقؔ حسین (۱۸۹۸۔۱۹۸۹ء) نام اور صادقؔ تخلص کرتے تھے۔ آپ کھادڑ پاڑہ (کشمیر) میں پیدا ہوئے۔ آپ کے والدین نے کشمیر سے ہجرت کر کے شکر گڑھ (سیالکوٹ) میں سکونت اختیار کی۔ آپ کے والد صفدر کاظمی نے وفاقی سیکرٹری کے عہدے پر کام کیا۔ تعلیم مکمل کرنے کے بعد آپ نے ظفر وال سے وکالت کا آغاز کیا۔ آپ تحریکِ پاکستان میں کارکن کے طور پر کام کرتے رہے۔ ۱۹۳۶ء میں آپ صدر مسلم لیگ شکر گڑھ مقرر ہوئے۔ آپ کا واحد شعری مجموعہ ’’برگِ سبز‘‘ کے نام سے شائع ہوا۔ (۲۷۶)
صادق کو صرف ایک شعر کی وجہ سے اردو شاعر ی میں شہرت ملی۔ بعض حضرات اس شعر کو علامہ محمد اقبال سے منسوب کرتے ہیں۔ یہ شعر ان کے شعری مجموعے ’’برگ سبز‘‘ کی ایک غزل میں موجود ہے۔ شعر ملاحظہ ہو:
تندیٔ بادِ مخالف سے نہ گھبرا اے عقاب یہ تو چلتی ہے تجھے اونچا اڑانے کے لیے (۲۷۷)
صادقؔ نظم اور غزل کے شاعر ہیں۔ نظم پر اقبال کے اثرات ہیں اور غزل میں روایت کی جھلک نظر آتی ہے۔ ان کی شاعری میں قرآن مجید کے منظوم تراجم بھی موجود ہیں۔ انہیں اسلام سے سچی محبت ہے۔ اس محبت کا اظہار وہ خدائے بزرگ و برتر کی حمد و ثنا سے کرتے ہیں۔ وہ قرآن پاک کا ترجمہ کرتے ہوئے عام فہم اور سادہ زبان استعمال کرتے ہیں۔ ان کا اسلوب اتنا اچھا ہے کہ وہ ترجمہ معلوم نہیں ہوتا۔ سورت فاتحہ کی کچھ آیات کا منظوم ترجمہ ملاحظہ ہو:
خداوندِ جہاں تیرے لئے تعریف ہے ساری کہ ہے لطف و کرم تیرا ہر انس و جان پر جاری
تو ہی ہے مالک و مختارِ کل روزِ قیامت کا ہر اک ہم میں سے دم بھرتا ہے تیری ہی عبادت کا

A child born with a soul of being, but has lack of personality. Actually personality comes with the effect of good education, guidance, squatter and environment in which a child lives. But literally due to the teachings of Hinduism or Buddhism or Christianity a human existence proves oneself with a personality. Even western civilization has an ideal concept of personality, but human personality has its very strong roots in Islamic teachings as Holy Qur’ān gives us a first-hand description about an “Ideal Personality”. According to the “Sunnah” of Prophet Muhammad (r) man has some qualities of “moderation” which can be the dominant in excess of his existence. So, man should establish equilibrium regards his personality. But there is need to create stability in education, society and politics on the basis of “moderation”. Islam lays a great emphasis on character building. Balanced personality is based on all the best qualities of head and heart. Our Holly Prophet’s (r) personality is an excellent example of balanced personality. In Islamic perspective just to accept the characteristics and Sunnah of Muhammad (r) can be equal to the modern word of personality. But have we absorbed the ultimate concept of personality? Which personality can we call an ideal personality? These two questions are very significant to wonder about on the concept of ideal personality. Every religion and civilization has its own true meaning of ideal personality, but besides all this according to Quran the ideal personality is concealed in a word “Sunnah”. The article highlights on basic characteristics of ideal personality in the light of teachings of Holly Prophet (r). Balanced and Moderate personality is the basic principle of Prophets Teachings
This study investigates the impact of different socio economic indicators on basic needs fulfillment in Pakistan. Basic needs gap index (BNGI) is dependent variable and is used as proxy of basic needs fulfillment. Ordinary least squares (OLS) and two different versions of empirical Bayes techniques have been applied on the time series data of eight different regions of Pakistan with rural and urban bifurcation for the period 1979 – 2008. Significant factors are figured out of ten explanatory variables: per capita income, per capita savings, remittances (domestic and foreign), human capital index, household size, ratio of income of top 20 percent to bottom 20 percent , share of income held by bottom 20 percent , higher education , unemployment, and dependency ratio. Our final model comprises of the following four explanatory variables, per capita income, human capital index, share of income held by bottom 20 percent, and unemployment. It is found that per capita income and income held by bottom 20 percent are highly correlated with BNGI in all the regions of Pakistan. It is also observed that share of income held by bottom 20% is also a significant variable that affect BNGI. Human capital index and unemployment showed mixed and sometimes contrasting results for rural and urban regions. Income distribution is more uneven in urban areas as compared to the rural areas. In the case of human capital, there is a considerable difference in rural and urban areas of Pakistan. Growth for the sake of growth is meaningless unless it reduces the miseries of the masses. To make every person part of development process, it needs to ensure that no one is underprivileged and marginalized. This can only be done when all the basic needs of the individuals are met. To improve the indicators of basic needs fulfillment it is important to improve the income share held by the poorest 20% people, which is in accordance to the MDGs. This requires strong political will at the part of the policy makers, the government officials, and the political parties.
