ﷺ
صدائے صمد ہے صدائے محمدﷺ
ادائے احد ہے ادائے محمدﷺ
دلوں کو دلوں سے ملائے محمدﷺ
عدو کو گلے سے لگائے محمدﷺ
عطا در عطا ہے عطاؤں کا محور
عطائے اِلٰہی ، عطائے محمدﷺ
کہاں دُوسرا سرورِ دو سراؐ سا
کہاں دُوسرا کوئی لائے محمدﷺ
مرے واسطے سلسلۂ ہدیٰ ہے
درِ آلِ احمدؐ ، ولائے محمدﷺ
عمرؓ ہو گئے کس طرح سے مکرّم
اُسے لگ گئی ہے دعائے محمدﷺ
سرِ سرحدِ لامکاں کی رسائی
ہوئی کس کو حاصل سوائے محمدﷺ
وہؐ سدرہ سے آگے کی راہوں کے سائر
کہاں سے کہاں ہو کے آئے محمدﷺ
ہے اِسمِ محمدﷺ دکھوں کا مداوا
ہر اِک روگ دل کا مٹائے محمدﷺ
علی ؔ! آؤ اُس در کی کر لو گدائی
دو عالم ہوا ہے گدائے محمدﷺ
This is not hidden from anyone familiar with Islamic laws, that in Islam the punishment for every person who enters the realm of Islam voluntarily and then turns away from Islam and returns to disbelief, is capital punishment (death penalty). From the earliest days of Islam, all the Companions, Followers, and all Islamic Jurists have improved the same, but at the end of the nineteenth century, many people who hated Islam refused to accept the punishment imposed by Islam due to various doubts. They have also challenged its legitimacy. As a result, two types of views on apostasy emerged. Some other scholars, at the endof the twentieth century, came with a third view on the punishment of apostasy. They neither deny the punishment of apostasy in general nor do they believe in it as the majority of scholars do. Therefore, in this article, we will briefly discuss these three types of views and their arguments, so that truth and falsehood become clear and no doubt remains in this matter.
A Stylistic Analysis of The Headlines of Leading Pakistani English Dailies This research is based on the stylistics analysis of the headlines of Pakistan's English language newspapers. It is a purely descriptive study and has employed the theoretical framework of Chomsky's Transformational Generative Grammar. Many concomitant newspapers publish a common piece of news with stylistically different composition of words yet convey the same piece of information. This research has aimed to prove that newspaper headlines of Pakistani English dailies emerge under the influence of Noam Chomsky's Transformational Rules to produce quality headlines. In its philosophical aspect, this research is deductive and quantitative hence follows the positivist paradigm. A stylistic analysis of headlines of three Pakistani English dailies; Dawn, the News, and the Express Tribune, is conducted. The researcher has applied Chomsky's Transformational Processes (deletion, addition, substitution, rearrangement) (Chomsky N., 1967) and the Generative Transformations as stated by Nilsen in "Transformational Process; an oversimplified review" (Nilsen, 1977) on the headlines of the chosen dailies. He has found that the headlines are stylistically different yet represent the same piece of news, as Generative Transformations represent that a common idea or issue can be conveyed using stylistic variations. Headlines are compiled in the form of sets (34 sets) from the three dailies. The headlines of Dawn are used as untransformed headlines and are compared with the Express Tribune (Part I) and the News (Part II) as transformed headlines. Tree diagrams have been used to show the presence of transformations. ANOVA and T test are applied and sufficient evidence of the presence of stylistic transformationsisfound.ThissuccessfulpresenceofTransformationalProcessofGenerative Transformations has proved that the Transformational Generative Grammar is applicable to study that stylistic variations enable headlines of newspapers to share a common issue.
