سیاسی نظام کی حیثیت سے اگر ہم غور کریں تو یہ کہہ سکتے ہیں کہ قومیت غیر انسانی اقدار
پر مشتمل ہے۔ اس کی وجہ سے اک انسانی گروہ دوسرے انسانی گروہ سے کٹ کر رہ جاتا ہے۔ اس سے دشمنیاں جنم لیتی ہیں۔ بعض اوقات قتل و غارت کا باعث بنتی ہے۔ قیمتی جانوں کا ضیاع ہوتا ہے۔ اقبال نے دنیائے اسلام کے لیے اسے خاص طور پر نہایت خطر ناک مغربی حربہ کی حیثیت سے دیکھا۔
اقبال نے قومیت کے مغربی تصور کے مقابلے میں ملت اسلامیہ کا تصور پیش کیا اور ثابت کیا کہ مسلمانان عالم کے لیے بنیادی نظریات و اعتقادات کی رو سے ایک وسیع تر ملت کاتصور ہی درست ہے۔ اقبال قوم اور ملت کو مترادف الفاظ میں استعمال کرتے تھے اور مسلمان قوم سے ان کی مراد ہمیشہ ملت اسلامیہ ہوتی تھی۔ اقبال قومیت کے اس تصور کے خلاف تھے جس کی بنیاد رنگ ونسل، زبان یا وطن پر ہو کیونکہ یہ پابندیاں ایک وسیع انسانی برادری قائم کرنے میں رکاوٹ بنتی ہیں۔ پروفیسر عبد الحق کہتے ہیں۔
”اقبال نے انسان کش قومیت کی مخالفت کی ہے جس کی حیثیت علاقائی ، جغرافیائی
اور سیاسی ہے۔ وہ قومیت کو پیدائش کے دوگز زمین میں محدود نہیں رکھنا چاہتے بلکہ
ساری دنیا کو ایک قومیت اور تمام بنی نوع انسان کو ایک قوم گردانتے ہیں“ (1)
تمام بنی نوع انسان کے لیے اقبال اتحاد و یگانگت کا پیغام رکھتے ہیں اس لیے اقبال نے مغربی تصور قومیت کے بدلے ملت اسلامیہ کا تصور پیش کیا۔ اقبال ایک ایسی عالمگیر ملت کے قیام کے خواہش مند تھے جس کا خدا، رسول، دین اور ایمان ایک ہو۔ اس جذبہ کے تحت اقبال نے مسلمانوں کو اخوت کا پیغام دیا اور انہیں مشورہ دیا کہ رنگ و خوں کے فرق کو توڑ کر...
The question of moral rectitude and upbringing of youth in the current social arena is the contemporary discovery attributed to social and family norms that also undergo change due to social and economic reasons. Consequently, deferring levels of piety become more or less acceptable according to an individual’s surroundings and age. The study was done to determine the association between religiosity and behaviors likely to improve the moral, social and psychological habits of young Muslims. The discussion of the article contextualizes the effects of observing practices of Islam on a larger scale. A sample study of this research can be used as evidence to counter the contemporary environment which inevitably generates contradictions for young people. The contradictions result in uncertainty and materialistic atmosphere which does not cater to their spiritual needs and the requirements to develop as the youth of Ummah. Yet, we cannot stop or avoid the negative channels and their effects prevailing on the internet. We can; however, extend the positive spiritual energy in youth that is only possible through careful observance of religious practices comprising regular prayers, fasting, charity and pilgrimage (Hajj). The current apathy of our youth towards the religious injunctions may be attributed to social and family norms that are in some cases relative to the economic conditions and social backup. This will evaluate and assess the way and means of effective inlaying of moral fields where our young people can improve their moral aptitude and rectitude. The impasse of current moral turpitude can be shattered with the bounding relation of human activity and Islamic ritual.
The statistics reveal that internet technology in the banking sector has introduced the internet banking (IB) product/service in Pakistan during year 2001 but the majority of the banking customers are the non-users of IB. This highlights the research need for identifying and validating the factors responsible for IB adoption in Pakistan. The technology acceptance model (TAM) has detained the most attention in determining the acceptance behavior of Information technology (IT). Despite the TAM validity and maturity in various contexts, there are few studies which have strived to extend the TAM capability to identify the individuals’ acceptance behaviour about the online/IB technology. Therefore, the present study has proposed and integrated external factors, namely perceived security, trust, website design, and product knowledge in TAM which reflects the banking customers concerns in the acceptance of IB in Pakistan. The questionnaire was adopted from the existing literature and modified for the data collection from the representative sample of 1,050 banking customers (non-users of IB) of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan through convenience sampling. After preliminary data analysis, the sample size reduced to 886 with the final response rate of 84.38%. Primary data analysis was conducted through Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) whereas Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) through Analysis of a Moment Structures (AMOS) was employed to explore the inter-correlations of the proposed constructs. The study empirical results indicated that all hypothesized relationships of perceived security, trust, website design, and product knowledge with perceived ease of use and usefulness are true and significant in the extended form of the TAM. Theoretically, the present research has confirmed the applicability of the TAM in investigating IB adoption in Pakistan. The findings of the study emphasized banks'' decision makers to formulate strategies that may boost the adoption of internet banking in Pakistan. Security strategic and proactive approach may address the security concern and improves the customers'' trust. Moreover, redesigning of the internet banking product/service is required according to Pakistani social context and customer requirements for addressing the website concern. Effective advertisement and customer relationship management may enhance the product knowledge of the banking customers.
