وہ کوئی دل ہے کہ جس میں کسی کا پیار نہ ہو
کسی جمال کے جلووں کا جو شکار نہ ہو
وہ اس لیے بھی مجھے اپنے غم نہیں دیتا
کہ اُس کا غم بھی کوئی میرا غم گسار نہ ہو
یہ جان تک تو لگا دی ہے میں نے نام اُس کے
یہ اور بات اُسے پھر بھی اعتبار نہ ہو
ہوا ہے کیا جو نشانے سے تیر چُوک گیا
تو پھر سے تیر چلا اور شرمسار نہ ہو
وہ ہر گھڑی جو مجھے بے قرار رکھتا ہے
مری دعائیں ہیں تائبؔ وہ بے قرار نہ ہو
The Prophet (P.B.U.H), born in 571 A.D at Makkah, came to enlighten this world with divine guidance and to transform this world from the clutches of immoralities and sins to pinnacle of piety and ethics. He lived in this world for almost 63 years and brought revolutionary changes which no one even could think of. But this task was not easy, he suffered the most and sacrificed everything to raise and proclaim the words of Allah. He set an example for others to follow. This article is all about his life in Madinah with regard to his dealing with the arch enemies of Islam who were his own natives “The Makkans”. Prophet (P.B.U.H) settled in Madinah and established Islamic society so as to enable everyone to spend life in accordance with the divine guidance. Here, he signed treaty with the Jews created Muakhaat for Mohajirin and Ansars. On the other hand, Makkans could not stand this development. So, they imposed battles on Muslims and Muslims had no options except Jihad. The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) fought many battles with Makkans. However, no innocent was executed during these incidences. This shows the dynamic teachings of Islam. This article gives brief events of these battles besides revelations which came to Prophet in the line of duty to motivate and guide Muslims. It took almost eight years for Prophet to excel Makkans.
English is considered to be one of the core subjects in secondary schools in Pakistan. But it is observed that the way it is taught is through the cascading approach rather than the development of language as a whole. Teachers provide few opportunities to students to relate their learning with their experiences in daily life. Students are mostly asked to copy down the answers from the chalkboard or from the textbooks and memorize the grammatical rules and reproduce them as it is, in the examination. However English is seen as an international language and a very powerful means of global communications and a sign of personal and national development in the society. This study is aimed to understand how English is taught in our secondary schools in Pakistan. It also identifies the challenges related to teaching English as a foreign language in government secondary schools in Pakistan. The study is divided into five chapters. Chapter one highlights the background and rationale, context, significance and purpose of the study, while chapter two offers a critical review of some relevant literature available in the area of the importance of English language teaching. Chapter three explains the research methodology and data collection. Chapter four presents an analysis of the data and research findings. Finally chapter five outlines some recommendations, implications, lessons learnt and possibilities for further research.
