Civic behavior reflects the values related to individual’s attitude towards family, peer group, and neighborhood and includes the way one behaves in the society and community as a whole. The purpose of the present study is to describe what civic behavior is, its characteristics, its status in the Hadith, and the way forward for improvement of the civic behavior as guided by Sīrah of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). Study implies that truthfulness, mercifulness, polite talk, helping others, respect for others, caring and sharing and promise-keeping, loyalty, sympathy, honesty, kindness, brotherhood, cooperation, fairness and unity are the core qualities that make the individual a civilized and active citizen and our Holy Prophet (ﷺ) is the embodiment of all these virtues. Descriptive approach was followed to explain and analyze the concept. First the concept of civic behavior was interpreted, then its importance and characteristics were discussed. After that it was explored in the light of the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The findings highlight that the civic behavior in its best form was preached and practiced by the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions. Each dimension was interpreted in the light of the Quran and the Sīrah. It was concluded that Sīrah of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) is an immaculate source of guidance and inspiration for not only Muslims but also for the whole mankind in acquiring the core values and abilities that determine the Civic behavior of an individual which ultimately results into a well-organized, peaceful and civilized society The study suggests that civic behavior of the citizens has significant impact on the formation and development of a peaceful society. It is recommended that civic behavior as reflected in the life of and practiced by the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) should be promoted and practiced for achieving a civilized social setup.
This thesis contains results about the matrix valued truncated Toeplitz operators (MTTO''s) de ned on the model space K= H2 H2(E), with axed pure inner function and E an arbitrary Hilbert space. The class of MTTO''s is denoted by T (K ). In the main work of this thesis we shall concern with the extension of some of the results obtained in the scalar case by D. Sarason in [27]. After gathering together the mathematical preliminaries of this work in Chapter 1, in Chapter 2 we shall present the most important properties of the model spaces Kand some very important operators Sand S in T (K ). The main object of this thesis is the study of the matrix generalization of the truncated Toeplitz operators introduced in [27]; a more recent presentation is [17]. This will be the content of Chapter 3, 4, 5. Finally, in Chapter 6 the preceding theory is applied to initiate the study ofnite rank operators in T (K ).
