قلعہ ایوبی
قاہرہ میں ایک جگہ اسلامی تاریخ کی تین بڑی مساجد اور قلعہ ہے چونکہ یہ جگہ شہر سے اونچائی پر واقع ہے اس لیے اگر باقی شہر کو تماشا گاہ یا اسٹیج تصور کیا جائے تو یہ جگہ بالکونی کہلائے گی ۔یہاں قلعہ سلطان صلاح الدین ایوبی ،مسجد علی مملوکی ،مسجد رفاعی اور مسجد سلطان حسن کی خوب صورت عمارات دیکھنے والوں کی آنکھوں اور ذہن و فکر کو خیرہ کرتی ہیں۔قلعہ ایوبی عظیم سپہ سالار سلطا ن صلاح الدین ایوبی نے گیارہ سو چھہتر سے گیارہ سو تراسی عیسوی میں شہر کو عیسائی حملہ آوروں سے بچانے کے لیے قاہرہ شہر کے قلب میں بنایا تھا ۔مسافر نے دکتو ر محمود سے اس قلعہ کی اہمیت کے بارے میں پوچھا تو کہنے لگے قاہرہ شہر اور یہاں کے باسیوں پر سلطان صلاح الدین ایوبی کے بہت سے احسانات ہیں۔ اس شہر اور اہلِ شہر کو صلیبی جنگوں میں یورش پسندوں اور ان کی یلغاروں سے بچانے میں اس قلعہ کا بہت بڑا کردار ہے ۔مصری حکمرانوں نے تقریباََ سات صدیوں تک اس قلعہ سے اہلِ قاہرہ کی حفاظت کی ہے ۔
قلعہ ایوبی کی دیواریں دس میٹر لمبی اور تین میٹر چوڑی ہیں ۔خود سلطان صلاح الدین ایوبی نے اس قلعہ کے اندر ایک گھر ایک مسجد اور ایک لائبریری بنوائی تھی ۔مسافر کو صلاح الدین ایوبی کی یہ تعمیرات اچھی لگیں فرزندانِ تثلیث کے خلاف جنگ کر نے والے جرنیل کو جسمانی لحاظ سے پر سکون رہنے کے لیے ایک محفوظ گھر قلبی سکون کے لیے ایک مسجد اور ذہنی سکون کے لیے ایک لائبریری سے بہتر انتخاب کیا ہو سکتا ہے ۔بلاشبہ دنیا کی امامت جس کو درپیش ہو وہ ان تین جگہوںکے بغیر نامکمل اور منتشر شخصیت کا مالک ہو گا ۔ قلعہ تو اپنی...
Allah Almighty is the creator of the whole universe. He bestowed wisdom and intellect to humanbeings. He sent his prophets for their guidance. Prophets taught how to worship Almighty Allah by heart and serve humanity. After Prophets, it is the responsibility of religious scholars to guide people to the right way. Islam also explicitly encourages inward reform. Sub continent Indo-Pak has the privilege of being the gateway of Islam, as well as the benefit of great Islamists and brave people. The great scholars of Islam, Ulama, Hufaaz, Writers, Researchers, Intellectuals, Scientists and saints got birth on this pure land. These great personalities served their religion Islam with their self-determinations and eliminated the darkness of ignorance and eliminated the darkness of misguidance. Such great human lives and their educational, religious and literary activities have been documented, as the next generation could be aware of their great hostilities, writings and made their lives and their experiences as a model for themselves. Maulānā Ḥamadullah Ḥālajwī is one of them. He was a prominent pious Islamic scholar, researcher and a saint. He spent his whole life to follow the commands of Almighty Allah and the teachings of Holy Prophet (PBUH). He adapted his life according to the Sunnah. He used to do everything according to the Sunnah. He was a master of good personality and good character. His words were full of wisdom. During his meeting or statement, it seemed as if there was a sea of knowledge, whose ripples were visible in his sermons. He used to make great arrangements for payment of religious duties. He was very pious and devout. His life is an ideal life and his religious and academic services are unpredictable. Practicing the Sunnah had become his mark and identity. He urged others to follow the commands of Allah and His Messenger (PBUH). Sitting in the company of such pious saints is also considered in worship. The bigger his personality, the more humble and controversial he was. This is actually the identity of a mediator and scholar. He was oceans of knowledge and action. The vacuum created by his death takes a long time to fill. Such individuals survive for centuries.
In this technological era, Governments across the globe are delivering public services to their citizens in an efficient and effective manner through E-Government (E-Govt) system. However, the development of E-Govt is not without challenges. Its development is surrounded by a number of factors, amongst those technological and governance structure have to be focused more in order to facilitate E-Govt implementation. Conversely, once developed, E-Govt brought forward more transparency, reduces corruption to a greater extent and makes public officials highly accountable to citizens. In terms of prior research, most of the literature either focused on the implementation challenges or the adoption factors, no research studies were found that took holistic view of both determinants and outcomes of E-Govt. So this research aimed to investigate the determinants and impacts of E-Govt by integrating both determinants and outcomes of E-Govt cohesively in a unified framework. The study incorporated Technological Sophistication, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law, Political Stability and Government Effectiveness as critical enabling factors that may influence E-Govt development. On the other hand the impacts of E-Govt on Control of Corruption and Voice and Accountability were also investigated. This study also posited that the relationship between E-Govt and Control Corruption and between E-Govt and Voice and Accountability further strengthens with the inclusion of Right to Information laws. Based on quantitative research method, country level secondary data was collected from international agencies (i.e. World Economic Forum, Center for Law and Democracy, United Nations and World Bank) to operationalize research variables. The results suggested that Technological Sophistication, Regulatory Quality and Government Effectiveness have significant positive association with E-Govt while Political Stability has significant but negative effects on E-Govt. Further the relationship between Rule of Law and E-Govt was statistically insignificant. Likewise,on the outcome side, E-Govt has strong impact on Control of Corruption but no impact on Voice and Accountability. In addition, Right to Information laws have moderating effects on the relationship between E-Govt and Control of Corruption and also on the relationship between E-Govt and Voice and Accountability. The research implications and limitations with future research directions are also discussed.
