اِس میں تیرا قصور بھی کیا ہے
مجھ کو تجھ سے پیار ہُوا ہے
خود ہی اپنا بُرا کیا ہے
تجھ کو کب الزام دیا ہے
تجھ کو کوئی افسوس نہیں کیا
میں نے خود کو مار لیا ہے
چاند کو جب بھی دیکھتا ہوں میں
دھیان میں پھر تُو آجاتا ہے
تیور تیرے بدلے بدلے
جانے تُو کیا سوچ رہا ہے
موم کی مورت ، چاند سی صورت
جانے دل کیوں پتھر سا ہے
تیری مجبوری سمجھی ہے
شکوہ تجھ سے کس نے کیا ہے
تیری ساری باتیں سچی
میں نے ہی سب جھوٹ کہا ہے
ہجر کا درد اُٹھا کر کوئی
گور کنارے اب پہنچا ہے
Philosophical Foundations of Islamic and Un-Islamic Pattern of Life and its Impact upon Society: A Comparative Study It is self-evident that human beliefs had great influence on character, actions, ethics, behavior and way of life. The possessors of correct belief produced positive effects and those who possessed incorrect belief promoted negative values in the community. Undoubtedly, the diversity in belief produced diverse ethics, actions, behaviour which gave birth to the different patterns of life in society. Regardless of subdivisions, by looking towards the philosophical foundations, these patterns of life could be divided into four categories in the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah. These lifestyles (also mentioned by Abū ’l-A‘lā Maudūdī in Tajdīd wa Iḥyā-i Dīn) are: Atheistic pattern of life, Polytheistic pattern of life, Monastic pattern of life and Islamic pattern of life. As each pattern had its particular tenets, therefore it formed a particular way of life by leaving its effects upon individual, social, political, economic, cultural and civilizational life. This research work aimed to explain the basic mechanism of these four patterns and their impact on human life. The method used for the collection and analysis of data was descriptive and analytical. The research concluded that three patterns of life (except Islamic pattern of life) produced harmful and negative effects into the society whereas the only Islamic pattern of life ensured the peace and prosperity. Moreover, Islamic pattern of life played a vital role in growth of all disciplines including political social, and economic system. It is therefore suggested that Islamic scholars should uncover the hollowness of Un-Islamic life style and present Islamic pattern of life in logical and systematic way. On one hand, this exercise will encounter the evils and on the other hand would promote good into the society.
The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of teacher pedagogy in improving tertiary level students’ English writing skill and self-perceptions. The purpose was to determine how far an eclectic approach to teaching English writing skill can be of assistance in developing the writing skill and confidence of bilingual speakers of English at tertiary level. This study employed pre/post-test and quasi experimental research design. The sample consisted of 66 students of English at Bachelor’s level and two teachers in a government college of Lahore, Punjab. The students were placed into two groups. The experimental group was taught by a TESL trained teacher and the control group was taught by a regular teacher. Both groups wrote an essay and completed questionnaires at the beginning and end of the study. After nine months of teaching writing skill, the pretest and posttest essay and questionnaire scores of the groups were compared using independent and paired sample T-tests and Hedges’ g to calculate the effect size of the change. Both teachers’ classroom lessons were analyzed through observation. Evidentially, eclectic approach had significant positive effect on students’ overall performance in essay writing and self-perception.
