فإن للغة العربية سحرًا لا يعرفه إلا من سبر أغوارها من أهلها أو من غير أهلها، وحب اللغة العربية متجذر في قلوب المسلمين، عربًا وغير عرب، بل إن شئت الحق؛ يهيم بها المسلمون من غير العرب ممن أنعم الله عليهم بمعرفتها قراءة وكتابة وتحدثًا، وقد يندهش العرب من هذا الكلام، مستبعدين أن يكون هناك من ينافسهم في حب لغتهم، ولكني سأفاجئك بقولي إن من المسليمن غير العرب من بَذَّ العرب أنفسهم وتفوق عليهم في معرفة اللغة العربية ودقائقها، والأمثلة على هذا كثيرة، وخاصة في باكستان التي يتميز شعبها بحب اللغة العربية تبعًا لحبهم لدينهم، ولنبيهم صلى الله عليه وسلم؛ ولنا أن نذكر العالم الجليل الأستاذ الدكتور عبد العزيز الميمني رحمه الله، والأستاذ الدكتور ظهور أحمد أظهر، والأستاذ الدكتور خورشيد رضوي، والأستاذ الدكتور سليم طارق حفظهم الله؛ فهؤلاء هم النبراس في اللغة العربية وعلومها في شبه القارة الباكستانية الهندية في عصرنا الحاضر، وبهم تستنير الأجيال، وتسير على خطاهم، والباحثة الباكستانية الدكتورة مكية نبي بخش من الجيل الجديد الذي تتلمذ على يد واحد من أولئكم العلماء الأفذاذ؛ أقصد الأستاذ الدكتور سليم طارق خان أستاذ اللغة العربية بالجامعة الإسلامية ببهاولبور؛ فنهلت من ينابيع علمه ما جعلها تجيد اللغة العربية إجادة يغبطها عليها أهلها، رغم أنها عاشت بين أهل العربية زمنًا، إلا أن الأساس عندها يرجع إلى هذا الأستاذ العظيم، وإليه يعود الفضل في توجيهها التوجيه الصحيح لخدمة اللغتين العربية والأردية؛ فأعدت رسالتها للدكتوراة دراسة مقارنة بين الشاعرة العربية العراقية الكبيرة "نازك الملائكة" والشاعرة الباكستانية الأردية الكبيرة "بروين شاكر"، وبعد أن مَنَّ الله عليها، وأتمت أطروحتها، وحصلت بها على درجة الدكتوراة من الجامعة الإسلامية ببهاولبور، قررت أن تنشرها في شكل كتاب بعد تنقيحها ومراجعتها، لتعم...
Emergence of biomedical research and innovation with an unprecedented speed has created number of opportunities and challenges for policy makers. On the one hand, it is now possible to introduce tailor-made personal medication regime for an ailing patient to offer state of the art treatments. On the other hand, several ethical and legal issues have been raised due to the complex nature of emerging technologies. Policy makers all over the world are constantly addressing these challenges by continuously upgrading their respective professional and regulatory frameworks. This article is an attempt to highlight Shariah maxims which have contemporary application in medical field. Lately, there has been a lot of interest in the debate of Shariah maxims and many scholars have used maxims-based analytical frameworks to show the dynamic application of Islamic law. This article builds upon those works by focusing on issues related to the medical field.
In the last few decades Information Technology (IT) has grown manifolds in Pakistan. The dynamic organizations are continuously replacing their legacy systems with the contemporary information systems (IS). Particularly, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are now becoming an integral part of the organizations to automate business processes. This thesis empirically investigated: (1) the success of ERP system at individual, process and organizational levels and (2) explored different contextual factors relating to organization, technology, individual and environment that affect the level of ERP system success in corporate sector of Pakistan. For examining ERP system success, the study applied DeLone and McLean (1992, 2003) (D&M) ‘Theory of IS Success’. The five dimensions mentioned in the theory and an additional dimension was incorporated in the proposed ERP system success measurement model i.e., ERP system quality, ERP information quality, ERP service quality, individual performance, organizational performance and process performance (added to the model). The present study applied two phased ‘explanatory sequential’ mixed methods research design. In the first phase of research 514 Pakistani organizations were surveyed through structured questionnaires to investigate ERP system success. SmartPLS 3 Software was used and Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was applied for testing the study hypotheses and assessing convergent validity, discriminant validity and internal reliability of the constructs. The results from the first phase indicated that ERP system quality, information quality and service quality positively influence individual performance. Similarly, individual performance has also positive and significant relation with process performance and xix organization performance. The results also revealed that process performance has positive and significant impact on organizational performance in Pakistani organizations. Based on the findings from the first phase, qualitative research strategy was applied in the second phase of research to explore different contextual factors that affect the level of ERP system success in corporate sector of Pakistan. The qualitative data was collected through in-depth video recorded interviews of 48 ERP key users in four different organizations. NVivo 10 software was used for transcribing, coding and identifying different themes of the study. Word Tree, Word Tag Clouds and Tree Maps techniques were applied to identify frequency of data coding, talk pattern and significance of each contextual factor. Finally, the qualitative phase of research explored that rewards and incentives, training, leadership, management control, technological resources, up-gradation of technology, skills, knowledge, provision of electricity and stakeholders’ pressure are more critical factors that influence the level of ERP system success in Pakistani organizations. Thus, these findings suggest that organizations can enhance the level of ERP system success by controlling these contextual factors. Lastly, the both quantitative and qualitative results were discussed and different theoretical and practical implications were provided. The findings of the study will serve as changing driver of attention of the practitioners from the issues of pre-implementation or implementation stages to the issues of post-implementation stage of ERP system. Based on different results and discussions, practitioners will pay more attention to sustain the success of ERP system in their organizations.
