آج کے بچے کی خواہشات
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز سامعین اور میرے ہم مکتب شاہینو! آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کی دعوت دی گئی ہے وہ ہے:’’آج کے بچے کی خواہشات‘‘
ہزاروں خواہشیں ایسی کہ ہر خواہش پہ دم نکلے
بہت نکلے مِرے ارمان لیکن پھر بھی کم نکلے
صاحبِ صدر!
خواہش، تمنا ، آرزو ایسے الفاظ ہیں جو کسی نہ کسی شکل میں انسان کے ساتھ وابستہ رہتے ہیں۔ زندگی کے ابتدائی ایّام سے لے کر تادمِ زیست کوئی ذی روح اس سے بے نیاز نہیں ہوسکتا، کسی کا قد چھوٹا ہو یا کسی کا قد سرو قد کے مماثل ہو، کوئی دبلا پتلا ہو یا کوئی لحیم شحیم، کسی کا رنگ سیاہ ہو یا کسی کا سرخ و سفید خواہش کے معاملہ میں سب میں اشتراک پایا جاتا ہے۔
صدرِذی وقار!
خواہش ہر ایک میں ہوتی ہے خواہ نوعیت کے اعتبار سے اختلاف ہی کیوں نہ ہو، عالمِ شباب میں خواہش اور تمناؤں کا سمندر جوبن پر ہوتا ہے، اس زمانے میں اُٹھتی ہوئی موجوں کا جو بن دیکھنے کے قابل ہوتا ہے، اسی دور میں نوجوان پہاڑوں کا سینہ چیرکر نہر نکالنے کا جذبہ رکھتے ہیں ، عمر رسیدہ حضرات کی خواہش منفرد ہوتی ہے۔
محترم صدر!
بالکل اسی طرح بچے کی خواہشات ہوتی ہیں، شیر خوارگی میں بچے کی خواہش مختلف ہوتی ہے وہ صرف ماں کی مامتاحاصل کرنے کا متمنی ہوتا ہے، اس کی عظیم سے عظیم تر خواہش ماں کے ساتھ لیٹنا، ماں کی لوری سننا، بے معنی آواز یں نکال کر ماں کو دودھ پلانے کا احساس دلانا ہوتی ہے۔ شیر خوارگی کی عمر سے نکلتا ہے تو اس کی خواہش میں تبدیلی رونما ہونا شروع ہو جاتی ہے۔...
Spending in the cause of Allh is one of the most important ways for the welfare of society and all the divine books agreed about its vital role in the betterment of human lives. But it is obvious from Quraan that not everyone has capacity for it but only those who are saved from stinginess: And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful. (Al-Hashr: 09) It is also very relevant question in this regard that what should be spent? And how and where should be spent? Hence only that type of spending which is according to the need of time is worthy to be called as best use of it, as Prophet (Peace be upon Him) pointed out to the charity of water when Saad ibn e ubadah asked him about the best mean of charity after the death of his mother and people were in urgent need of water. So it is clear that the one who intended to charity must have the actual and original idea about the demand of those who are in crises and then he should decide to arrange the appropriate means in this regard. We found crystal clear indications in the seerat ur rasool (Peace be upon Him) about the appropriate spending in accordance with the demands of current time like the encouraging the release of slaves especially in the Makkah and the treaty of brotherhood among the immigrants and the ansaar and promoting the building of prophetic mosque and preparing the army for battles and promising the abode in paradise in response. This article deals with role of charity in welfare of current society by the proper means and ways, some of the important points are as follows: 1. Introduction. 2. Importance of Infaq in Quraan and Sunnah. 3. Examples of charity in accordance with the demands of society in light of seerah. 4. Charity endowments and its role in the well-being of society in the light of fiqh us seerah. 5. The needs of contemporary society and the role of Charity endowments. 6. Pre-protection from negativity, because prevention is better than cure. 7. Recommendations or proposals for proper expenditure
Cooperative Learning is considered an instructional strategy that encourages students to learn from one another working in groups and pairs. The Aga Khan University, Institute for Educational Development (IED) through its teacher education programmes promotes this strategy in schools particularly in developing countries like Pakistan. The Visiting Teachers Programme (VTP) is one of the examples of IED's attempts to promote cooperative learning. The VTPs are planned, executed and evaluated by the Professional Development Teachers (PDTs) who are graduates of Master of Education (M.Ed) programmes at IED. As a course participant of the M.Ed (2000) programme, I was interested to know about the impact of Cooperative Learning' on two visiting teachers (VTs) who attended the VTP. I decided to conduct an impact study on the above topic. Two VTs of an IED cooperating school of Karachi were selected. Other sample members included, four students (two each) of both the VTs classes. Students were identified for the study with the help of VTs. Head Teacher of the school and the Professional Development Teacher. The study explored ;The impact of cooperative learning on two primary school teachers who attended the primary education Visiting Teacher Programme at IED. This was a case study and literature suggests that for case studies a qualitative research paradigm is more appropriate. Therefore I used the qualitative paradigm and I collected data through interviews, classroom observations, document analysis, field notes and writing memos. Interviews were audio recorded and important points were jotted during interviews. Before entering the field, I went through the programme document which informed me that one of the objectives of the programme was that the VTs understand and practice cooperative learning in their classroom. The programme exposed VTs to alternate teaching methods and instructional strategies. They were taught the basic elements of cooperative learning, lesson planning and teaching, group / pair work and reflections and further were encouraged to use the cooperative learning strategy in the theory practice component of the programme. The study found that teachers have acquired knowledge about cooperative learning. They have tried their best to implement their learning in the classrooms. This includes some elements of cooperative learning in other strategies according to the needs of the students and schools. The findings reveal that teachers have developed good relationships with their students and the students taught by VTs seemed different from other students in terms of social skills. It was also found
