اچھے شہری کی ذمہ داری
کائنات کے حسن کو دوبالا کرنے کے لیے جہاں ہر کس و ناکس اپنافریضہ ادا کر رہا ہے وہاں اچھے شہری کی بھی یہ ذمہ داری ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے جو کائنات بنائی ہے اُس میں رہ کر اچھے شہری ہونے کا ثبوت دے اور اس کی وجہ سے پیدا ہونے والی تمام پریشانیوں کا سد ّباب کرے۔ ایک اچھا شہری نہ صرف اپنی ذات کے بارے میں حسن ظن رکھتا ہے بلکہ وہ اپنے کردار سے، اپنی گفتار سے، اپنے طور و اطوار سے کوئی ایسی بات کا مرتکب نہیں ہوتا جس سے اس کے وجود سے نفرت کی جائے۔
اچھا شہری صرف وہی نہیں جوصبح اُٹھے سیر کو جائے اور پھر نماز ادا کرے اور تلاوت کلامِ پاک کرے اسی طرح وہ اپنی صبح نو کا آغاز کرے اور اس طرح خاموشی سے دن گزار دے، اچھا شہری تعلیمی ادارے کا سربراہ ہوسکتا ہے، اچھا مدرس ہوسکتا ہے، اچھا دوکاندار ہو سکتا ہے، اچھا سیاستدان ہوسکتا ہے، اچھا قانون دان ہوسکتا ہے، اچھا منصف ہوسکتا ہے ۔
اچھے شہری کی ہی ذمہ داری ہے کہ گھر کے اندر ، معاشرے کے اندر، خویش و اقارب کے اندر اگر کوئی برائی دیکھتا ہے تو وہ اس کا قلع قمع کرنے میں کوئی دقیقہ فروگزاشت نہ کرے یہ اس کی ذمہ داری ہے اور دینی فریضہ بھی! حضرت محمد صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ’’ مسلمان وہ ہے جس کی زبان اور ہاتھ سے دیگر مسلمان محفوظ رہیں ، ہرشخص جب تک اپنا تعمیرانہ کردار ادانہ کرے اپنی دھرتی کو بقعۂ نورنہیں بنا سکتا،اپنی اس زمین میں عقل و خرد، عدل و انصاف، اخوت و بھائی چارہ کی فضا پیدا نہیں کر سکتا۔
اچھے شہری کی ذمہ داریوں میں سے ایک ذمہ داری یہ بھی ہے کہ وہ...
To juxtapose various components in one issue or various issues, and to adopt various jurists’ points of views is called “Talfiq.” In the present radical age of science and technology, each and every social faculty is being radicalized particularly in finance; there are certain complications in the monetary systems of various countries. In this scenario, to concentrate on one school of thought and deduce the solution of these financial issues has now become impossible. That is why, Majlis-e-Shar’ii concentrate on “Talfiq between different school of thoughts”, where various parallel issues are solved. The Majlis has prepared a sharia standard where practicable and beneficial financial issues are elaborated. The jurists have elaborated various principles of “Bae-e-Salam”, and presented various relevant issues taking the insight from various scholars of Maliki, Hanafi, Shafi and Hambli schools of thoughts and focused on “Talfiq”. The present research paper the decrees related to Talfiq will be explored, where the jurists have adopted it. Whether it is allowed or prohibited. If it is allowed, to what extent?
The purpose of this study was to enhance the learning environment through Appreciative Inquiry Approach (AlA) in a government secondary school of Karachi. The study focused on one component of the learning environment such i.e. the students' participation in classroom discussions. In government schools, the culture of problem-solving focuses on deficiencies and ignores the positive aspects and the strengths of people. In the problem solving approach, we assume that there must be something wrong and we look for it with the intent to solve it. AlA is an alternate approach initiated as a reaction to the problem-based approach, as it is a search for "the best" of what already exists. Therefore, using this approach, my hypothesis was that every person, organization, system, and community has something that works well, and boosts up the moral and confidence of people. The learning environment (in this case, through enhancing students' participation) can be enhanced through searching for what is good and working well. The qualitative Participatory Action Research (embedded in an appreciative lens) was employed since it suited the aim and purpose of the study. Two teachers were selected, one who was in favour of using AlA and the other who was opposed to the idea. Reflective journals, notes of classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, reflective meetings, and study documents were used as data collection tools. By conducting this study, the potential, possibilities and challenges of using strength based approach in the teaching and learning processes have been explored. The findings indicate that the students' participation can be enhanced by using strength based approach, which encourages them through positive words, gestures, and especially highlighting their strengths. This study has ample value and significance for research participants who want to enhance their students' participation in classroom discussions. It would help them to reflect on their existing understanding and practices (e.g. what they do, why they do, how it contributes to the learning environment, etcetera). The study has implications for teachers in their professional life as well as their social life.
