ایمان لانے کے بعد انسان پر سب سے پہلے عبادت کا ادا کرنا لازم ہے ہر مذہب میں عبادت کا ایک خاص طریقہ ہوتا ہے جو مخصوص طریقے کے ساتھ ادائیگی کا حکم دیا جاتا ہے اسی طرح اسلام میں بھی نماز، روزہ، حج اور زكوة عبادات کی مختلف طرق ہیں اصل عبادت کی غایت یہ ہے کہ معبود صرف اللہ تبارک وتعالیٰ ہی کو ماننا ، صرف اسی کی عبادت کرنا ہر چیز میں اسی سے مدد طلب کرنا اسی کو حاجت روا اور مشکل کشا سمجھنا اسی کو مالک، خالق اور رب تسلیم کرنا اسی سے التجاء کرنا، ہر چیز کے لئے اسی کو پکارنا اور یہ یقین رکھنا کہ اللہ کے سوا کسی کے دائرہ اختیار میں کوئی چیز نہیں ہے اگر وہ نفع پہنچانا چاہے تو اسے کوئی روکنے والا نہیں ہے اور اگر ضرر پہنچائے تو اس کو کوئی ہٹانے والا نہیں ہے ہر طرح کی عبادت مثلاً قیام، رکوع، سجدہ صرف اسی کے لئے خاص ہے اور کسی اور کے سامنے جھکنا جائز نہیں۔
انسانوں سے اللہ تعالیٰ نے انکی تخلیق سے پہلے ایک وعدہ لیا تھا جس کا ذکر قرآن مجید میں یوں مذکور ہے:
"اَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ، قَالُوْا بَلٰي، شَہِدْنَا"۔[[1]]
" کیا میں تمہارا رب نہیں ہوں؟ اس وقت سب نے یہ کہا کیوں نہیں اے ہمارے رب!"۔
سب نے اس وقت اللہ کی ربوبیت کا اقرار کیا تھا گویا کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی ربوبیت کا اقرار و اعتراف انسانوں کی فطرت میں داخل اور انکے وجدان میں شامل ہے۔
اللہ تعالیٰ کی ربوبیت کا مطلب اور اس کا تقاضا کیا ہے ؟اسکے جواب کے بارے میں بشیر احمد لودھی یوں رقمطراز ہیں:
" انسان ازخود پیدا نہیں...
Literally, Rasm means “symbol” While the term “rasm” refers to the knowledge by which the writer is protected from the errors of writing. The use of the word “rasm” in the sense of writing began around the fifth century (AH) and later the word was used exclusively for the “Rasm-e-Usmani”. Although the Holy Qur'an was written entirely in the Prophet's time, it was based on various things, then in the era ofAbu Bakar(RA)it was also given abook form, but this “Rasm” was named after the “Rasm-e-Usmani” because it was job of Usman (RA)to purify the Holy Qur'an from the rare recitations (Shaz Qira`at) and commentary sayings of the Companions and to compile it in a manner in which all the recitations could be recited continuously and then to prepare its Mushafs and send them to different Islamic countries. The “Rasm” on which he prepared the Mushafs was different from the common script due to some features and these features are called the six rules and they are; Hazf, Zyadat, Al-Hamz, Badal, Wasl-o-Fasal and Ma-fihi-Qira`ataan. There is a difference of opinion as to whether the “Rasm-e-Mushaf” is detention or non-detention, however, the preferred opinion is that of the detainees. Similarly, whether it is necessary for the Muslim Ummah to adhere to this “Rasm” or not, the position of the majority of scholars is that adherence to the “Rasm-e-Usmani” is necessary for all Muslims.
This small-scale research is a case study of Cabri's (a geometrical software) diffusion as an innovation in the secondary mathematics classroom in the exploratory paradigm. Basically, this research explores the supporting and hindering factors when Cabri was adopted and implemented as an innovation in the mathematics classroom. The rationale of conducting this study is based purely on my teaching and learning experiences of geometry as conventional teacher and learner respectively. So this research is an attempt to transform my conventional practices into contemporary ones. Moreover, geometry in the secondary mathematics curriculum occupies large numbers of substantial concepts due to its rich variety. So, this research will broaden my understanding about teaching these concepts effectively through Cabri. In the conventional teaching and learning scenario of Geometry, the active exploration of Geometry is not an easy task for the teachers and learners. The main reasons for this are the inaccuracy of the figure, lack of visualization and syllabus completion and time constraint and lack of immediate conceptual feedback by teachers. This research focuses on how teachers can adopt and implement Cabri as a new innovation in the secondary geometry classroom. It also focuses on those ways, which can bring improvement in the teaching and learning of geometry in the context of developing countries like Pakistan. For this research, I worked with two female secondary mathematics teachers from my home institution. I initiated my research by interviewing the existing perceptions of my research participants about the adaptation and implementation of Cabri for the teaching and learning of geometry. It was discerned that the ways teachers teach strongly depend on their existing perception. I encouraged planning lessons with my teachers, implemented the lessons as co-teacher, observed and reflected on the teaching and learning practices of teacher and students for further improvement. The data in this research was collected through semi structured interviews, participant observations of teaching either in classroom or in computer lab, the researcher's descriptive memos and students' sample work and evaluation; this data was analyzed and discussed in thematic form. These study findings report in two major themes: How Cabri supports the students learning geometry and how can teachers adopt Cabri for the effective teaching and learning of geometry, and their sub themes have also been discussed. This research finding report that Cabri as catalyst motivated the students for the learning of geometry, engaged them in the active construction of new knowledge
