As TQM is regarded as management function and strategic planning tool that assist organizations to maintain total quality and improve institutional performance by satisfying needs of all stakeholders through the continuous improvement of products, services and organizational processes. Seven factors were selected to study including vision and mission, leadership, leadership team, monitoring of programs process and performances, curriculum design and delivery, student selection support and assessment and continuous quality improvement. The objectives of the study were: 1). To identify TQM operative management factors in the public-sector universities of Pakistan, 2). To study Public sector universities of Pakistan that are committed towards TQM factors for sustainable growth of quality education and the organization, 3). To explore differences in opinions about distinctive TQM operative factors between male and female at the public-sector universities of Pakistan, 4). To find out the relationship among different distinctive TQM operative factors at public sector universities of Pakistan, 5). To explore the difference in opinions between sample groups with respect to TQM operative factors at the public-sector universities of Pakistan, 6). To prospect ways for continual improvement of the public-sector universities of Pakistan. The study following a quantitative approach was based on data collected through a questionnaire. The Cronbach’s Alpha for this instrument was .969 TQM operative factors considered in the study. After meeting its pre-requisites, the tool of Factor Analysis (FA) was used to check its reliability and construct validity of multidimensional factors to meet the objectives of this research. The study was delimited to the administrators, teaching faculty and the students from the publicsector universities of the Punjab, Baluchistan, Khyber Pakhtoon Khawa, Sindh, Islamabad Capital Territory and Azad Jammu and Kashmir only. Total (1174) respondents (VC’s, Deans, Registrars, Teachers and the students) provided complete response on all variables of the study. The collected data were analyzed through SPSS 16 in the form of table and graphs. Formula of Pearson correlation coefficient, Independent Samples t-test, and One Way ANOVA and LSD Post hoc test were used to analyze and interpret the data. Overall response rate remained 87.61%. The study revealed that TQM operative factors have significant role to maintain quality and to organize whole organization, department and an activity at every level. This study identifies areas of improvement as far as Total Quality in Public Sector Universities of the Pakistan. Main conclusion of the study is that TQM is being adopted in higher education organizations but at a slower pace. Whereas, areas of improvement include Leadership, leadership team, Curriculum design and delivery, Monitoring of programs and processes, student support and assessment. Therefor it has been recommended that all the public-sector universities authorities and policy makers should take thoughtful steps to implement the TQM philosophy for organizational excellence and to eliminate the organizational, administrative and the teaching learning deficits. They can use the findings of this research study and opt for affirmative actions to bridge the gaps in TQM implementation and its operative factors.

مولانا حیدر حسن خاں محدث ٹونکی

مولانا حیدر حسن صاحب محدث ٹونکی کی وفات
مولانا حیدر حسن خاں صاحب محدث ٹونکی جو تقریباً دس پندرہ برس تک دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء لکھنؤ میں شیخ الحدیث رہ کردوسال ہوئے کہ ریاست کی خواہش پر اپنے وطن چلے گئے تھے، افسوس ہے کہ چند روز ہوئے کہ اپنے وطن ہی میں وفات پائی ، محدث مرحوم اورا ن کے بڑے بھائی مولانا محمود حسن خاں صاحب مصنف معجم المصنفین اس وقت کے علماء میں ایسے دو نامور فرد تھے کہ جن کے وجود پر علم و فضل اور ورع و تقویٰ کو ناز تھا، الحمدﷲ کہ ابھی مولانا محمود حسن خاں صاحب ہم میں موجود ہیں، مگر افسوس ہے کہ ان کے چھوٹے بھائی مولانا حیدر حسن خاں صاحب نے اس عالم فانی کو الواداع کہا، ایسے زمانہ میں جب نام کے مولویوں کی تعداد گو کثرت حاصل کررہی ہے، مگر کام کے علماء روز بروز کم سے کم ہوتے جارہے ہیں، مرحوم کی وفات مشرقی علم و فضل کی کائنات میں حادثہ عظیم سمجھی جائے گی۔
مرحوم بڑے جامع العلوم تھے، علوم عقلیہ و نقلیہ و ریاضیہ کے وہ یکساں ماہر تھے، زیادہ تر اپنے بڑے بھائی مولانا محمود حسن خاں صاحب سے پڑھا تھا، حدیث کی سند شیخ حسین صاحب عرب یمنی خزرجی سے حاصل کی تھی، استفادہ باطنی میں بھی ان کا مرتبہ بلند تھا، انہوں نے مکہ معظمہ جاکر حضرت حاجی شاہ امداد اﷲ صاحب رحمتہ اﷲ علیہ سے فیض حاصل کیا تھا، اور ماشاء اﷲ زہدو عبادت بے تکلفی اور تواضع میں بزرگوں کا نمونہ تھے، علم عقلیہ و ریاضیہ میں بھی ان کا درجہ بلند تھا، اور علوم نقلیہ میں وہ ماہر کامل تھے، علم حدیث کو بطرز حنفیہ بہت خوبی سے پڑھاتے تھے، رجال پر ان کی نظر وسیع تھی، ان کے درس کا طریقہ یہ تھا کہ حدیث...

اسلام میں تبدیلی مذہب کا مطالعہ: ایک تنقیدی تجزیہ

Muslim scholars have produced various writings in which the process of conversion to Islam has been presented in the form of narratives. However, less consideration has been given to the understanding of nature of this process. Furthermore, the elements which originate and shape this process have also been ignored in the previous studies. After analyzing the sources concerning the study of conversion to Islam, the current article argues that the previous studies, especially by the Muslim scholars, were mostly written for Daʻwah purposes. They did not encourage the analytical dimension of the conversion studies. For a grasp of the complex elements and the strategies underlying this process, the Western scholars divide religious conversion into its diverse types while providing different motifs. However, a critical analysis of their works points out that some of these types and motifs are not applicable to Islam. The current article points out the elements helpful in explaining the process of conversion to Islam keeping in line with the Holy Qur’ān and Sunnah. Moreover, this paper also purports that the study of Ḥadīth, spiritual experiences of converts, and the opinions of the scholars supports the concept of fiṭrah to be used as a framework for a thorough understanding of this process.

An Assessment of Whether Medical Doctors Have the Knowledge That Would Enable Them to Competently Deliver Tobacco Cessation Services

Background: Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality globally. The international community recognizes this epidemic and compelling evidence exists on the significant contribution of the health care provider in propagating the success of tobacco cessation. The World Health Organization highlights minimal implementation of tobacco control policies by Tanzania despite a rise in tobacco use prevalence. Medical doctors’ competence is a reflection on our commitment to tobacco cessation service delivery. Main Objectives: To assess whether medical doctors have the knowledge that would enable them to competently deliver tobacco cessation services. Specific Objectives 1. To assess medical doctors’ core knowledge on tobacco use and it`s harmful effects. 2. To assess medical doctors’ knowledge on tobacco screening. 3. To determine medical doctors’ awareness on brief tobacco cessation advice. Design: Facility based cross-sectional study. Setting: Public and private health facilities in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Participants: Medical doctors in active clinical practice Site: Multicenter study from October 2013 to January 2014. Sample size: 320 medical doctors. Measurement: A 48 item validated questionnaire was used to assess whether medical doctors have the knowledge that would enable them to competently deliver tobacco cessation services; 35 items were scored and each item scored 1 point, two items were nullified because nicotine replacement therapy has not yet been legalized, while 11 items explored participant’s recommendation on tobacco. Competence was defined as an overall score above 25 (71%) of the 35 items. Results: 320 questionnaires were analyzed. Only 21 doctors (7%) attained acceptable level of competence; which was insignificant p=0.4 (significant p< 0.05) and 62 doctors (19%) reflected satisfactorily on tobacco cessation services. Conclusion: The level of acceptable knowledge for competent delivery of tobacco cessation services was low. Doctors affirm that they need further training. Enforcing sustainable ways of integrating comprehensive and evidence based tobacco education and cessation services in our local health care systems are recommended to improve competence in tobacco cessation service delivery.
