وہ علم و عمل میں پختگی و استقامت، زہد و اتقاء میانہ روی اور ذاتی وجاہت کی بناء پر کلکتہ کے علمی و دینی حلقوں میں بہت مقبول تھے، ان کا تعلق کلکتہ سے تھا مگر اپنی علمی و دینی وجاہت متوازن شخصیت، پاکیزہ سیرت، اصابتِ رائے اور معاملہ فہمی کی وجہ سے پورے ملک میں باوزن اور قابل اعتماد سمجھے جاتے تھے۔ ان کے دل میں قوم و ملت کا درد تھا، اس لیے مسلمانوں کی موجودہ تباہی اور زبوں حالی سے بہت بے چین رہتے تھے، کلکتہ کے علمی و تعلیمی اداروں کے علاوہ وہ ہندوستان کے بھی ممتاز دینی و تعلیمی اداروں اور قومی و ملی تنظیموں سے وابستہ تھے۔ دارالعلوم ندوۃالعلماء لکھنو اور دارالعلوم دیو بند جیسے عالمگیر شہرت کے حامل اداروں کے عرصے سے اہم رکن تھے اور ان کے جلسوں میں پابندی سے شریک ہوتے تھے۔ امارت شرعیہ بہار واڑیسہ اور آل انڈیا مسلم پرسنل لابورڈ کے بھی سرگرم ممبر تھے۔ دارالمصنفین سے مخلصانہ تعلق رکھتے تھے، ہم لوگوں میں سے کوئی اگر کلکتہ پہنچ جاتا تو بہت خوش ہوتے اور لطف و مدارات سے پیش آتے۔
مولانا سید حسین احمد مدنی ؒکے ارشد تلاندہ میں تھے، ان سے غیر معمولی عقیدت ہی کی بنا پر اپنے نام کے ساتھ حسینی لکھتے تھے، دینی علوم میں اچھی دستگاہ تھی، فن تفسیر سے زیادہ مناسبت تھی، مفسر قرآن کہلاتے تھے، قدرت نے حسن بیان اور تاثیر کی نعمت بخشی تھی، ان کے درس قرآن کی شہرت تھی، برسوں کولوٹولہ کی مسجد میں قرآن پاک کی تفسیر بیان کی، روزنامہ آزاد ہند کے ہفت وار ایڈیشن میں ان کی تفسیر برابر شایع ہوتی تھی۔ ان کو حکمت و...
It is incontrovertibly true that Islam advocates peaceful coexistence with the adherents of other creeds. The holy Qur’an, the primary source of Islamic Shari‘ah, vividly recommends freedom of conscience and religion. Similarly, the prophet (SAW), being the perfect role model for the entire humanity, preached and practiced the lofty ideals propounded by the holy Qur’an and peacefully coexisted with the followers of Judaism and Christianity. Furthermore, the four rightly guided caliphs exhibited tolerant attitude towards their Jews and Christian subjects. In the presence of these models, nonetheless, many contemporary critics of Islam are disinclined to admit this explicit reality. Robert Spencer also sees eye to eye with them. Robert Spencer is an American author and he has published twelve books. He is a member of Melkite Greek Catholic Church. He looks on Islam as a highly intolerant religion. In this connection, he singles out Muhammad’s (SAW) treatment of various Jewish tribes. He maintains that all Jewish tribes viz. Banu Na╔hir, Banu Qaiʽn┴q┐ʽ and Banu Qurai╔ah “received the wrath of Muhammad”. This brief study aims to prove that the treatment meted out to the Jews was not founded on religious prejudice and malice; it was rather commensurate with their wicked demeanor.
Attachment, either parental or peer, is an eternal affectional bond of substantial intensity, and becomes of prime importance in the physical and psychological development of adolescents. This study was aimed to investigate the relationship of parental and peer attachment bonds with career decision making self efficacy (CDMSE) and identity development (Id-Dev) among adolescents and post- adolescents. The study was carried out in three phases: Phase-I constituted of evaluation of the language used in the instruments, Phase-II was a pilot study in which pre-testing of the scales was carried out to assess psychometric properties of the scales used in the main study, and also to see applicability of the research design, Phase-III covered the main study accomplishment. A criterion was formulated to screen the desired sample and the participants in the age range of 17 to 25 years belonging to middle socioeconomic class were included in the study. It was ensured that only those participants were included whose both parents were alive and living together. Care was also taken to include those participants who were day scholars and not residing in hostel. Non-probability purposive sampling was used in the main study of the research and total sample collected was 550 adolescents and post- adolescents studying in different government colleges and universities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad including both males (n = 300) and females (n = 250). All participants were asked to complete a separate demographic sheet so as to have a clear picture of their background. Scales used in study were Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment-R (IPPA-R), Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (CDMSE-SF), and the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOM-EIS-2). Correlations, t-test, regression analysis was conducted for testing hypotheses. Predictability of variables i.e. predicting level of CDMSE & Id-Dev in relation to parental and peer attachment bonds was also assessed. Findings of the study revealed that there was a positive relationship among the variables studied (i.e. CDMSE & parental and peer attachment bonds & Id-Dev and parental as well as peer attachment bonds). It highlighted that when more and more parental and peer attachment bonds are there, more will be CDMSE that also influences a healthy Id- Dev of the youngsters. The outcome of this result signify the contribution of both parents well as peers attachment bonds in predicting CDMSE of adolescents and post-adolescents, however parental attachment bonds are more powerful in prediction of CDMSE as compared to peers attachment bonds. Results of present study denote, both parents and peers attachment bonds play their role in prediction of Id-Dev among adolescents & post-adolescents yet peer attachment bonds more powerfully predict Id-Dev in comparison to parental attachment bonds. Findings of present study suggested that females were relatively more involved in maintaining interpersonal identity as compared to males. The results of the study suggest the further need for clarifying how the parental and peer attachment works in different family structures with variable socioeconomic background and covering different age groups of the sample
