کوئی طبیب ہی ایسا نہ چارہ گر کوئی
کرے ہمارا مداوائے چشمِ تر کوئی
مرے وجود سے اُٹھنے لگی ہیں خوشبوئیں
کہ ایسے مجھ میں سمایا ہے عشوہ گر کوئی
میں اُس کو حالِ دلِ زار کیسے بتلاتا
مجھے ہوا نہ میسر پیام بر کوئی
مرے حضور یہ زندہ دلوں کی بستی ہے
نہ بے ضمیر یہاں پر نہ کم نظر کوئی
امیر شہر! یہ حالت تری رعایا کی
ہے پا برہنہ کوئی اور برہنہ سر کوئی
خدا کے واسطے ناصح ہمیں اجازت دے
کہ انتظار میں اپنے ہے بام پر کوئی
ہے میرے حال سے دنیا تو باخبر تائبؔ
ہے میرے حال سے کیوں اتنا بے خبر کوئی
تعمیرِسماج کا اسلامی منہج : حضرت عمر فاروقؓ کی فکر و بصیرت کی روشنی میں تجزیاتی مطالعہ The modern era is considered as advanced and humanized in terms of materialized advancement only. Today the leading societies of the world have created a self-sufficient religion in the name of humanism and have set standards ignoring Divine guidance. Thus, man has the right to decide the rules and norms of society on his own goodwill. As a result, the breaking of family system, appearance of gay and homosexual relations, etc. Are being considered as legitimate in many countries where religion is no more considered a guiding principle. On the other hand, revealed religions have focus on the development of humanity in terms of both the ethical and materialistic perspectives. Islam as religion has provided a model of such an advancement and social change in history that has proven that Divine guidance is major source for betterment and development of civilization and humanity. This was practically proven in the time of Muslim golden rule in the world. The caliph Umar (R.A) was the man who introduced for the first time, the principles and values, which has changed the Arabs to a civilized and humanized nation. This huge change was made possible in the light of Divine guidance. In this academic article all such norms, values, and principles that were introduced by Sayyīdnā Umar (R.A) which brought a social change in his Era are discussed. Facts have been collected from historic books and presented following the descriptive and analytical method. Although, the information was narrated and scattered in the books, no proper study was introduced where the role of these reforms in the social construction was analyzed. The aim of the study has to investigate the historic facts of social change in the era of the righteous Caliph Sayyidna Umar bin Khattāb and prepare a guideline for the humanity in present era.
This dissertation is an attempt to contribute theoretically and empirically in the area of research regarding financial liberalization and economic growth for Pakistan. On account of growing importance of financial liberalization in the promotion of growth in the developed and emerging economies and dearth of significant literature on this topic in the case of Pakistan, the present study examines the impact of financial liberalization on economic growth. The thesis investigates both the domestic and external components of the financial liberalization process and their impact on economic growth of Pakistan. The dissertation in particular develops an index of domestic financial liberalization using the technique of principal component analysis. The index captures the important dimension of reform process and quantifies the impact of domestic financial liberalization on growth. The external financial liberalization is examined through the de jure and de facto measures of external financial liberalization. The dissertation develops a quantitative measure of external financial openness through de jure approach on the basis of information under the capital account liberalization. The de facto measure of external financial liberalization is based on the work of Lane and Ferretti (2006) while the data for remaining years are updated utilizing their methodology. A joint impact of both the domestic and external components of financial liberalization (showing an overall impact of financial liberalization on growth) is also examined through the measure of domestic financial liberalization index and de facto measure of external financial liberalization. The results of the study indicate a positive impact of composite index of domestic financial liberalization on economic growth. External financial liberalization when measured through de jure approach positively impacts economic growth. However, the de facto measure shows a negative association between external financial openness and economic growth. The empirical results finally report an overall positive impact of financial liberalization on economic growth examined by including both the domestic and external components of financial liberalization. The positive impact of financial liberalization on economic growth is on account of financial intermediation, financial deepening and easy access to capital brought through domestic and external liberalization. However, to get more pronounced benefits out of liberalization process, financial sector needs more strengthening both at the domestic and external fronts.
