امام شعرانیؒ اور شاہ ولی اللہؒ کے فقہی نظریات کا تقابلی مطالعہ

Allah Almighty has created such men in every age for the protection of the religion of Islam whose ijtihād and da'wah deeds have always defeated the false ideologies by proving the legitimacy of Islam on firm grounds. From those blessed ones, Imām Sha'rānī and Shāh Walīullāh are eminent, intellectual, spiritual and rejuvenating personalities of their time. The main purpose of this article is to make a comparative study in the context of the views of each of the above two personalities from different angles regarding the differences in jurisprudence. This paper also aims to highlight the rational and moderate position of these personalities while making their different opinion in comparison to other scholars, so that researchers and scholars of this age may get guidance regarding how to make different opinion. It will help the researchers to take advantage of these blessed attitudes of the ancestors and play an important role in building a peaceful society.

Innovation in Practicals

This study highlights the fact that practical work in science teaching needs radical changes, if we want our students to become problem solver' scientists. WHAT I SET OUT TO DO I introduced the skills of hypothesizing, planning the experiment and inferring, in the conduct of practical work, in a government school. The time I had was 28 days. WHAT I DID I worked 4 days a week, during which I conducted interviews before and after the introduction of the new approach. In my sample were 2 teachers and 5 students. Initially the teachers planned the lesson with me, and then they brought it to action in the science classroom. WHAT I FOUND OUT It was found that presently the emphasis was on rote learning. Students blindly followed the procedure directed by the teacher. All the instruction and even conclusions were determined before. Also found was the fact that the new strategy of hypothesizing, planning the experiment and inferring which I introduced in my study, provides opportunities for the students to think and reflect upon their work. This would aid their cognitive development and help them to become real problem solving scientists. Also studied in this dissertation were the various constraints such as time and resources. The effect of the present examination system which promotes rote learning has also been discussed.
