میلاد النبی صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم
ایک باوقار ،خودمختار، ذی شعور اور زندہ و بیدار قوم کا یہ شعار ہوتا ہے کہ وہ خود کو فعال و سرگرم اور پر جوش رکھنے کے لیے قومی اہمیت کے حامل دنوں کو کبھی فراموش نہیں کرتی بلکہ انہیں ہمیشہ یاد رکھتی ہے اور جب بھی سال بعد وہ دن آتا ہے تو پورے جوش و جذبے اور ذوق وشوق کے ساتھ اسے مناتی ہے تا کہ نئی نسلیں بھی اس کی افادیت و اہمیت سے آگاہ ہوں اور ان کے اندر بھی اللہ تعالیٰ کا شکر ادا کرنے کا داعیہ پیدا ہو جس نے انہیں اور ان کے آباؤ اجدادکو اورپوری قوم کو اس نعمتِ عظمیٰ سے نوازا، حریت فکر، مقام ِبندگی اور حصولِ سعادت کے آداب سے آشنا کیا اور یہ ذوق و دیعت کیا کہ میدان میں آئیں اور اپنی آزادی و بقائ، عقائد ونظریات اور تہذیب وشعار کی حفاظت میں کوئی دقیقہ فروگذاشت نہ کریں اورکسی کوقومی وجود کی طرف دستِ تعدی دراز کرنے اور نظریاتی سرحدوں پر شب خون مارنے کی اجازت نہ دیں۔
حضور نبی کر یمصلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم پیر کے دن روزہ رکھا کرتے تھے جب آپ صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلمسے پوچھا گیا کہ آپ اس دن روزہ کیوں رکھتے ہیں تو آپصلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم نے فرمایا (’’اَنَاوُلِدْتَ‘‘) میں روزہ اس لیے رکھتا ہوں کہ اس میں میری ولادت ہوئی ہے۔ اُمت کے لئے اس سے بڑھ کر قومی اہمیت کا دن اور کوئی نہیں ہوسکتا۔ اس لیے اپنے نبیصلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی ولادت کے دن کو دھوم دھام سے منانا، جائز حدود کے اندر رہ کر خوشی کا اظہار کرنا، غربا و مساکین کو کچھ کھلانا، روزہ رکھنا ، عبادت کرنا، دُرودوسلام کا نذرانہ پیش کرنا، اس دن کے...
Brought up in the context of a very critical time of Islamic history, Imām Muḥammad Jalāl’uddīn Qāsimī (1866-1914) played a vital role to reform and purify the ongoing mindset of the Muslims in Syria in his time. He was a man believed in an independent thinking in the light of the Qur’ān and Sunnah. He taught the people to get rid of the backwardness and blind imitation (Taqlīd). For this purpose of his, he presented the works of the previous leading Islamic Scholars as they were. He was expert in various fields of knowledge like Qur’ān, Ḥadīth and their Sciences, Jurisprudence, Dialectic, etc. One of his masterpieces is his exegesis known as “Maḥāsin al-Tāwīl”. It is a great exegetical work; as most of the exegetical aspects are entertained in it. It has nine or seventeen volumes according to its two different editions, including a whole volume of preamble containing eleven Rules of Quranic Sciences. Although the critics object to his copying the long paragraphs of the prominent Islamic Scholars without commenting or editing and on his long discussions that deviate the reader from the actual purpose of the Holy Qur’ān, but to present the material in this way for the purpose of reformations of Muslims and to bring them back to the way of Salaf through their words, in that crucial time, justifies the significance of the work. In this article, the author probes to present the mythology adopted by Imām Qāsimī in his exegesis and its scholarly merits.
Leadership has an influence over the development and implementation of an innovation in a department. In a bid to integrate ICT, teachers have been developed and facilities have been provided. In contrast, the prevalent status is use of ICT as an addition in projects and delegation of the integration to the ‘ICT specialists' by the Science Subject Leaders (SSL). Through exploring the SSL, leadership will identify the practices that can enhance ICT integration and thus improve student's learning experiences. Therefore, the questions: “How does a SSL perceive and enact her roles to enhance ICT integration in PBL; What are the factors influencing SSL in the integration of ICT in PBL was the focus of the study, which contributes to the current body of knowledge in leadership. The study was conducted through the qualitative case study approach which was explorative and interpretive in nature within a grounded approach. Data from field notes, interviews, and document and artifact analysis were used to explore the SSL leadership. Since leadership is fluid and not identified within an individual but in a responsibility; hence, the SSL was the focus and the team she interacted with in the projects also participated. The study observed a ten lesson (six weeks) project cycle in a private middle school in Pakistan undertaking the IGCSE curriculum. Three aspects emerged to inform the leadership of the SSL in integrating ICT, these were: leading manifested in leadership styles and technophile, technologic that is possession of skill and knowledge, utility level and training others, administration in shared planning, monitoring, mentoring and reviewing. I argue that the personality and technologic influenced the teachers to enhance integration. The study revealed that the empowerment of a SSL builds up the leadership capacity. Thus, SSL knowledge perceptions and roles must be attended to and not taken for granted. The implications of the study include a) develop knowledge and skill of SSL (b) empowering the SSL (c) allowing interdepartmental collaborated activities (d) provision of resources. Nevertheless, training and equipment require SSL leadership for integration to be enhanced. The study was limited within one project cycle due to time factor; however, many cycles may have identified on the basis of a variety of characterizing influences.
