مصر ،مذہب اور مساجد
مغرب کا وقت قریب تھا ہم احمد کی گاڑی میں بیٹھ گئے ہماری اگلی منزل جامعہ الازہرہ تھی ۔ فرعون ،پیرامڈ ،ابوالہول ،مسجد علی ،مسجد رفاعی اور مسجد حسن کے بعد اب جامعہ الازہر اور مسجد حسین ۔ایک دن میں جتنے مقامات دیکھے ان کا تعلق مذہب سے بنتا ہے ۔ مصریوں کو عبادت اور عبادت گاہوں سے عشق ہے چاہے فرعون کا زمانہ ،عیسائیوں کا یا مسلمانوں کا ۔ سکون قلب اور فرض عبودیت کے حصول و بجا آوری کے لیے عبادت گاہیں تعمیر کرنا ان کا پسندیدہ مشغلہ ہے ۔جیزہ کے اہراموں سے لے کر سینٹ کیتھرائن ،قاہرہ کے گرجا گھروں اور مسجدوںکی ایک لمبی فہرست ہے ۔ مصری نہ صرف اچھے عبادت گزار ہیں بلکہ عمارت گر بھی ہیں۔ میں نے کسی عبادت خانے کی عمارت بے ڈول ،بے مزہ اور غیر متواز ن نہیں دیکھی ۔ تعمیر اور عبادت ہر دو حوالوں سے مصری مساجد آباد نظر آتے ہیں ۔ جہاں اذان کی آواز کان میںپڑی وہیں کاروبارِ زیست رک جاتا ہے اور عبودیت کا اہتمام شروع ہو جاتا ہے ۔قرآن سے مصریوںکی محبت کوئی پوشیدہ راز نہیں ہر گھر میں حفاظ موجود ہیں اور ہر مسلمان مصری کو قرآن کا ایک بڑا حصہ ازبر ہے ۔قرآن کو خوش الحانی سے پڑھنے میں شاید ہی کوئی دوسرا مسلمان مصریوں کا مقابلہ کر سکے ۔ویسے تو خوش الحانی کے اس فن کو بہت سے قرأ نے برتا ہے مگر مجھے قاری عبدالباسط کی تلاوت نے زیادہ اپنی طرف راغب کیا ہے ۔ مصر میں انیس سو ستائیس میں پیدا ہونے والے اس خوش الحان قاری کی تجوید مصری مسلمانوں کے لیے بالخصوص اور باقی مسلم دنیا کے لیے بالعموم ایک تحریک بنی اوراب بھی بہت سے مصری اور غیر مصری قرأ اُن کے تتبع میں انہی کی...
Contemporary secular Switzerland has been polarised by more than two decades of anti-Muslim sentiments, conveyed through misrepresentative narratives by some politicians and media, ‘otherising’ Islam and Muslim-related issues. This polarised environment may have triggered ambivalent impacts on the personal development of Swiss-born Muslims Consequently, I suggest that they live in an ambivalent position, where their status as Muslim is not fully acknowledged and their belonging to Switzerland still questioned. Indeed, this article will explore the following research question: How do some young Swiss-born Muslim adults construct their subjectivities and experiences linked to Islam in their daily lives in contemporary Switzerland? The research methodology of this focused ethnography draws on various semi-structured interviews and informal conversations with several young Swiss Muslim men and women. The paper focuses on (a) Switzerland’s socio-cultural and political context and (b) the various ways this study’s research partners construct their ambivalent subjectivities through the analysis of their individual trajectories and narratives. It concludes that young Swiss Muslim adults formulate and produce alternative narratives, in order to make sense of their lives and accommodate various layers of identification in contemporary Switzerland. Eventually some recommendations for further research are formulated.
The agile methodologies gain acceptance in last few years. There are two primary reasons, this method better satisfies the customer needs and do accept the changing requirements conveniently. The Formal Methods (FM) being considered tough and costly and are not widely used by the software engineers. In the past few years, there is lot of research work done in combining both the agile methods and Formal Methods. It is a promising contract to combine both of them. If agile and Formal techniques are combined in a fruitful way then they render closer to the prefect results. The Formal Methods are mostly applied to the safety critical software. A mixture of these two techniques comparatively delivers accurate and precise results for software development team, while ensuring the efficiency and appropriateness of software projects. The Formal Methods applied to the Scrum give wonderful results. There is a need to integrate the Formal Methods with agile process models to make them formal, versatile and improve results. Extreme Programming (XP) is mostly used for smaller projects deal with small team size and it is supposed that XP is not good choice for large project because it suffers from lack of documentation. There is a need to improve XP to use is for large projects, and for safety critical systems. For this purpose a futuristic approach for combining Formal Methods with agile methodologies, will be formulated in this research. A futuristic approach is formulated by mapping the Formal Methods to the XP. This approach will make it easier, less time-consuming and in some way less costly to apply combination of Formal Methods with XP to ensure correctness and appropriateness of the product. Let it be used for the development of safety critical systems. We map Software Cost Reduction to specify requirements formally; algebraic specification will be used before coding and Design by Contract (DbC) for safety critical system at testing on XP.
