مولوی مجید حسن
افسوس ہے پچھلے دنوں مولوی مجید حسن صاحب مالک اخبا ر مدینہ بجنور کا انتقال ہوگیا۔مرحوم نے اپنے اخبار کے ذریعہ ملک وملّت کی جوعظیم اورطویل خدمات انجام دی ہیں اُن کوہندوستانی صحافت کی تاریخ کاکوئی طالبِ علم نظر انداز نہیں کرسکتا۔ اُن کی پوری زندگی جدوجہد اورمحنت ومشقت کی تفسیر تھی اوراس اعتبارسے وہ آج کل کے نوجوانوں کے لیے ایک لائقِ تقلید نمونہ تھے۔علمائے دیوبند کے بڑے گرویدہ اورنہایت مخیر وسیر چشم انسان تھے، اﷲ تعالیٰ اُن کی قبر ٹھنڈی رکھے۔ [جنوری ۱۹۶۷ء]
Sūrah al Fātiḥa it is a short Sūrah, yet full of facts and meanings, sweat and heart provoking. This Sūrah is the title of the Qur‘ān and the whole Qur‘ān is its explanation. The fundamental objectives of Qur‘ān, faith and good deeds have been explained in this Sūrah. That is why this Sūrah is also proclaimed as “Umm al Kitāb” and “Umm al Qur‘ān”. Its Scripture is related to worship and help. The worship proceeds to seeking help. The word worship has three meanings: devotion, slavery and submission. Allah Almighty, time and again, ordered towards His submission and worship in the Holy Qur‘ān. It is the esteem of worship on which Allah has honored His Prophet. He is the real Lord and all blessings and powers are for Him. He is Lord of lives and we should have trust in Him and seek help from Him. The separation, individuality and solitude are prohibited in Islam. The verses of Sūrah al Fātiḥa (و ایاک نستعین ایاک نعبد) gives the massage of congregation which is the solution of disturbance and riot. Who so ever wants to go paradise, should have attach to the Ummah.
The Purpose of this study was to explore possibilities and challenges in facilitating student's conceptual understanding about chemical change, by using different teaching activities and strategies. The study was conducted in a government school in Karachi and the data was collected in 3 stages. Pre-intervention, intervention and post intervention stages. This study highlights the fact that practical work in science teaching needs a radical change. Science is frequently taught through an expository or teacher centered method so students do not understand scientific concepts well. Thus, all learning is done through rote. There is no opportunity to use practical work or creative activities. This inhibits students thinking and their development of scientific skills. Teachers are in general not aware of new strategies of science teaching. Study results show that teachers place a heavy emphasis on rote learning, with students passively following the procedure directed by the teacher. In this study when students were involved in practical work, there was a noticeable increase in student motivation, enthusiasm, and curiosity in student's attitude towards science learning. Students also felt that change had occurred in their learning environment. The teacher of focus class also observed that practical work is helpful for enhancing students understanding conceptually. It was also found that the introduction of certain process skills and discussion in science classroom provided a valuable opportunity for students to think and reflect upon their own science learning.
