پروفیسر محمد حبیب
افسوس ہے گذشتہ ماہ جون کی ۲۲تاریخ کوپروفیسر محمد حبیب نے۷۳برس کی عمر میں علی گڑھ میں وفات پائی اوروہیں دفن ہوئے۔موصوف ہماری نسل کے اُن معدودے چند اکابرعلم وادب میں سے تھے جن کے زورقلم،وسعت مطالعہ اور مجتہدانہ فکرونظر نے یورپ اورامریکہ کے علماء اورفضلاء کوبھی متاثر کیا تھا۔وہ جتنے بڑے اسکالر تھے بحیثیت انسان کے بھی اتنے ہی عظیم شخصیت کے مالک تھے۔ طلباء کی تعلیمی،علمی،مالی غرض کہ ہرقسم کی اورہروقت خدمت ان کا دین وایمان تھا۔طبیعت بالکل درویشانہ پائی تھی۔نام ونمود اوردکھاوے کانام ونشان نہ تھا۔ نہایت خلیق،ملنسار،متواضع انسان تھے۔ان کے بعض افکاروآراء سے کسی کو کتنا ہی اختلاف ہواورہمیں بھی تھا لیکن ان کی شرافت، انسانیت دوستی اورجذبۂ خدمت خلق ہرشک وشبہ سے بلندتھا۔اﷲ تعالیٰ اپنے فضل عمیم سے ان کی مغفرت فرمائے۔ آمین۔

Linguists and Muslim jurists have depended heavily on the Arabic language in their researches about Islamic legislation. Their writings show a deep relationship between Islamic commandments and the rules of Arabic grammar. The three chapters of this research present a study of their work syntactically, and analytically to explore the earliest approaches and their various dimensions, and to detect the relationship with the Islamic commandments in the current time. The first chapter is about the role of nouns in deriving the Islamic commandments from the Quranic ayaat. The second chapter discusses the role of various verbs in deriving the Islamic commandments from the Quranic Ayaat. The third chapter is about the role of Arabic letters in deriving Islamic commandments from the Quranic Ayat. This study hopes to help not only the linguists of Arabic language but also the scholars of other related fields.
‘’An abstract can offer a valuable opportunity to inform a wide audience, to capture potential readers, and to expand your own interactive professional network. Whether others will pursue their reading may depend largely on their assessment of your abstract’’. (Wolcott, 1990 cited in Silverman, 2000; p. 223). Professional Development Teachers (PDTs) have a demanding role in their respective education systems and their role perception in general is not confined to only a practicing classroom teacher but more than that. This study seeks to explore as how PDTs, in a semi-private education system, came to work together to benefit their own system schools from their expertise and learning from the graduate programme at AKU-IED. The study looks into the processes, successes and challenges of a team effort or network structure of the PDTs in a semi-private education system. The significant purpose of this network is building capacity and facilitating the process of teaching and learning in the system schools. The study will delve into how this effort leads to school improvement and what were the facilitating factors and challenges of this teamwork structure. Literature from the perspective of network structure, professional development and school improvement provides a theoretical framework. The study aims to investigate and capture the reactions of the research participants in their natural setting. To conduct this study a semi-private education system was identified where the PDTs were found working together. Research data is collected by means of interviews, observations, shadowing (non-participatory observations) and document analysis. The result of the systematic data collection and analysis enabled the researcher to derive the themes, which describe the network process. The themes contributed to and link with some theory enabling conclusions to be drawn from the research. Finally the implications of the study are discussed together with recommendations and suggestions. Working together is a facilitative approach as well as a challenging task and there is a need to set some common vision that leads to some purposive structure formation. To realize the vision, identifying the potential group of people and designing a progress plan are important factors along with the basic requirements of resources, opportunities and rewards/incentives.
