مولانا عبدالشکور
ہمارے پرانے نامور علماء ایک ایک کرکے، اٹھتے جاتے ہیں، افسوس ہے کہ ان کی آخری یادگار مولانا عبدالشکور صاحب نے بھی سفر آخرت اختیار کیا، مولانا کی ذات جامع کمالات اور اس دور میں سلف صالحین کا نمونہ تھی، علم و عمل اور دین و تقویٰ میں ان کا درجہ بہت بلند تھا، تعلیم و تدریس، تالیف و تصنیف، وعظ و تبلیغ، ارشاد و ہدایت ہر راہ میں ان کے نمایاں کارنامے ہیں، تقریباً نصف صدی تک ان کا فیض جاری رہا، اور ان کے ذریعہ بہتوں کو ہدایت حاصل ہوئی، ایک زمانہ میں پورے ہندوستان میں ان کے کارناموں کی شہرت تھی، مگر ادھر پچیس تیس سال سے انھوں نے خاموشی اور گوشی نشینی کی زندگی اختیار کرلی تھی، اور موتو اقبل ان تموتوا کی عملی تفسیر بن گئے تھے، اب ایسے ربانی علماء کا پیدا ہونا مشکل ہے، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کے خدمات کو قبول اور ان کے مدارج بلند فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، جنوری ۱۹۶۲ء)
This is a familiar fact that accountability has a primary, important and key role to reform and develop an individual as well as a society. Quran (The Holy Book) and Sunnah (The Sayings the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasize the acco-untability and the Seerah (Prophet’s life) is its practical example. The Prophet (PBUH) mentioned the importance of individual accountability, told the people to follow the principle of accountability and also set up a collective account-ability system. On various occasions, He inquired the governors and investigated their financial matters. He also strongly condemned crimes such as exploitation, corruption, deception and cheating; those are the result of lack of accountability and He communicated the Ummah to stay away from the devastating crimes like these. The study of Seerah (the Prophet’s life) shows that He strongly empha-sized the accountability among all other matters. The Prophet (PBUH) used practical measures for justice and equality, giving people their rights and elimin-ating all kinds of oppression, abuse, injustice, exploitation and corruption. It was the effect of the teaching and training of the Prophet (PBUH) that the lives of companion’s رضی اللہ عنہم اجمعین of Prophet Muhammad (PPBUH) are the basic source of guidance for mankind till the world due to accountability. The compa-nions of the Prophet (PBUH) used to arrange the accountability and also self-accountability, as a result, the society was a manifestation of transparency, peace fulness, ideal, and brotherhood.

From the last 3 decades, empirical evidence on employee empowerment and organizational justice perception and their influence on employee work related outcomes such as productive, performance, trust, motivation, organizational citizenship behavior, turnover intensions, organizational commitment prove its significance for management researchers and business organizations alike. However, limited research is devoted on whether or not justice perception can influence the relationship between employee empowerment and organizational commitment of the employees working in banking industry of Pakistan. Hence, this study was conducted to explore the relationship between employee empowerment and organizational justice and the moderating affect of organizational justice on this relationship. For the current study, data was collected from 300 employees serving in public and private banks of Pakistan. Simple linear regression analysis was employed to evaluate the relationship between empowerment and organizational commitment, further, hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to test the moderating affect of all dimension of organizational justice i.e distributive justice, procedural justice and interactional justice on the relationship between employee empowerment and organizational commitment. The result of the regression analysis showed significant positive relationship between empowerment and organizational commitment, and highlights that management practice to empower their employees by providing authority and autonomy would results in enhanced level of employee commitment towards their respective bank. In addition, the evidence that has been concluded from the research findings, firstly indicates that when employees are empowered their commitment and tendency to remain loyal to the organization will also increase.
