مولانا شاہ بدرالدین
ابھی گزشتہ مہینہ کے معارف میں ہم نے حضرت امیر شریعت صوبہ بہار اور امارت شرعیہ صوبہ بہار کا تذکرہ کیا تھا، خیال میں بھی نہ تھا کہ اس کے ایک ہی مہینہ کے بعد ہم کو حضرت ممدوح کی دائمی مفارقت کا ماتم کرنا پڑے گا، حضرت مولانا شاہ بدرالدین سجادہ پھلواری اس عہد کے جنید و شبلیؒ تھے، ان کا زہد و ورع، نزاعت و ارتقاء، علم و عمل، صورت و سیرت، ہر چیز نمونۂ سلف تھی، کم و بیش چالیس برس تک یہ علم و عرفان کی شمع صوبۂ بہار میں روشن رہی اور اس کی روشنی دور دور تک پھیلتی رہی، ان کے شب و روز کے چوبیس گھنٹے ذکر و فکر اور مطالعۂ کتب کے سوا اور مشاغل میں کمتر صرف ہوتے تھے، ان کی نشست گاہ ایک کتب خانہ تھی، ان کے چاروں طرف کتابوں کا انبار لگا رہتا تھا اور اس کے بیچ میں یہ زندہ کتب خانہ جلوہ فرما رہتا تھا، اس عہد میں یہی ایک ہستی تھی جو ظاہر و باطن، علم و معرفت، حقیقت و شریعت کا مجمع البحرین تھی اور جس سے ہزاروں اور لاکھوں علم و معرفت کے پیاسے سیراب ہوتے رہتے ہیں، پھلواری کا سجادہ اس بزرگ ذات کی رونق افروزی سے چشمۂ خورشید تھا، افسوس کہ یہ آفتاب اب ہمیشہ کے لئے ڈوب گیا۔
وہ میرے والد مرحوم کے پیر بھائی تھے، دونوں مولانا شاہ علی حبیب صاحب قدس سرہ، سجادہ نشین پھلواری سے مستفید تھے، خاکسار کو آغاز عمر میں ۱۸۹۸ء میں پھلواری کی خانقاہ میں چند ماہ بسلسلۂ طلب علم والد ماجد مرحوم کے حسب ہدایت رہنے کا اتفاق ہوا تھا، اس وقت سے اخیر عمر تک اس ہیچمدان پر خاص نظر عنایت تھی، کبھی کبھی مکرمت ناموں سے سرفراز فرماتے، تو ’’اعزا خواں‘‘ کے...
Many western scholars have tried to interpret the Holy Qur’an into other languages of the world. William Montgomery Watt and Robert Spencer are included in the list of those commentators of the Qur’an who have presented their Quranic commentary in English language. But while interpreting the verses of the Holy Qur’an about the life, character and teachings of the Holy Prophet both the scholars have fabricated the teachings of the Holy Qur’an. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the interpretation of both western writers about the verses of Sūrah al-Aḥzāb in which the necessary information about the marriage of Prophet Muhammad with Hazrat Zainab has been discussed. Through the text analysis method and comparative and analytical approach, this article has raised some of the errors and propaganda elements found in the commentaries of both the Western scholars. The article proves that the writings of Western scholars like this need to be refined and scrutinized carefully in maintaining the sanctity of Islam and respecting the rights of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This paper concludes that all such allegations are either based on fabricated historical reports or false interpretations and misunderstanding of the facts.
This research was conducted to find out the impact of microfinance programs, in the context of Islamic banking. To achieve this objective, a sample of one hundred (100) respondents was chosen randomly, which consists of highly qualified employees working in financial organizations, such as the top management of these organizations. Four types of variables were examined in the data collection process. The first type was dependent variables that included transformation of the Microfinance institutions and the Islamic financial institutions. Holistic time frame, coordination among groups and resources were acting as Moderating variables. The third set of variables examined was the intervening variables. Intervening variables included growth model of microfinance and Islamic banking practices. The last set of variables, which included the accounting practices used by these organizations, conventional banking, microfinance institutions and the awareness level in the community, are considered as independent variables. The results show that, time span of organization in Islamic banking, organizational success, offerings of microfinance services and the reasons for not exploring their potential in microfinance are all significant in their effects. Similarly the necessity of awareness programs, technological change, assistance from other MFIs, designing new accounting procedures are all statistically significant in its effect. Moreover, the impact of microfinance under the Islamic banking on improving the poor’s standard of living, equitable distribution of wealth and increasing employment opportunities are statistically significant. Similarly, integrating IMF within Islamic banking operations is also found to be statistically significant in its effect, because both have the same guiding rules. Similarly training and capacity building program were found significant, for the success of Islamic banking. Further results of the study show that less number of the people is trained in this respect. It is recommended to train the existing and future employees for success of IMF and integrate IB & MF, which will also help in equitable distribution of wealth in the society. xviiKey words: Islamic Banking (IB), Microfinance (MF), Islamic Microfinance (IMF), Conventional Banking, Organizational transformation, Training and Capacity building.
