آیاتِ قرآنی کے اسرار و حکم
قرآن ِ مجید میں متعدد مقامات پر مختلف اسمائے استفہامیہ کا استعمال کیا گیا ہے جو مختلف مقاصد کے پیش نظر بیان ہوئے ہیں، ذیل میں اہم اسمائے استفہامیہ کے استعمالات اور مقاصد و ضرورت کو بیان کیا جاتا ہے:
اسم ِ استفہامیہ :مَن (کون) عاقل کے لیے استعمال ہوتا ہےارشارِ ربانی ہے:
"مَنْ يَّاْتِيْكُمْ بِمَاءٍ مَّعِيْنٍ"۔ [[1]]
"کون ہے جو اس پانی کی بہتی ہوئی سوتیں تمہیں نکال کر لادے گا ؟ "۔
یعنی کیا خدا کے سوا کسی میں یہ طاقت ہے کہ ان سوتوں کو پھر سے جاری کر دے؟ اگر نہیں ہے، اور تم جانتے ہو کہ نہیں ہے، تو پھر عبادت کا مستحق خدا ہے، یا تمہارے وہ معبود جو انہیں کاری کرنے کی کوئی قدرت نہیں رکھتے؟ اس کے بعد تم خود اپنے ضمیر سے پوچھو کہ گمراہ خدائے واحد کو ماننے والے ہیں یا وہ جو شرک کر رہے ہیں؟
اسم ِ استفہامیہ :أي (کونسا) عاقل اور غیر عاقل دونوں کے لیے استعمال ہوتا ہےارشارِ ربانی ہے:
"اَيُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا "۔[[2]]
اللہ تعالیٰ نے یہاں یہ نہیں فرمایا کہ کون زیادہ عمل کرتا ہے بلکہ فرمایا کون زیادہ اچھے عمل کرتا ہے۔ اس لیے کہ اچھا عمل وہ ہوتا ہے جو صرف رضائے الہی کی خاطر ہو اور دوسرا یہ کہ وہ سنت کے مطابق ہو ۔ ان دو شرطوں میں سے ایک شرط بھی فوت ہو جائے گی تو وہ اچھا عمل نہیں رہے گا، پھر وہ چاہے کتنا بھی زیادہ ہو، اللہ کے ہاں اس کی کوئی حیثیت نہیں ۔

The purpose of this research was to study the persecution of press in Sindh during the currency of Pan-Indian political movements known as Khilafat and Non-Cooperation Movements, during 1920-22. In this regard the case study of two popular newspapers, Al-Waheed and Watan, were conducted to understand the mechanism of monitoring and controlling the newspapers in Sindh by the colonial rulers. The study explores the political landscape of Sindh in particular and India in general during those turbulent times as well as examines the state of journalism in the province at that time. With the help of the case study of two popular newspapers, the study highlights the mechanism adopted by the colonial government for monitoring and controlling the press in Sindh. In this regard the archival official records as well as translations of the critical articles published in those newspapers were accessed at the India Office Records (IOR) section of British Library, London. The methodology adopted for the current study mainly comprised historical, analytical and content analysis. The study concludes that the press in Sindh faced severe hardships at the hands of the British government through a coercive mechanism with active involvement and concurrence of all the capitals of Sindh’s governance, i.e. Karachi, Bombay, Delhi and London. The study is first of its kind that highlights the role played and sacrifices rendered by press in Sindh for the freedom of press during colonial rule in 192022. ______
This research is a case study of two teachers with whom I worked to explore a constructivist philosophy of learning in mathematics and the impact of this intervention on their thinking and actions in the teaching of mathematics. The two teachers who participated in this study were from a private school in Karachi where they teach Maths in Grades vii & viii. Because my intention was to compare the teachers' initial perceptions and actions to their perceptions and actions at the end of my intervention, two sets of observations and interviews were carried out. Data from these and other sources were triangulated to get valid information about the changes that occurred in the teachers' perceptions and actions as a result of the intervention. The findings of the study indicated that the intervention had a positive impact on both the teachers as well as the students in whose classes the research was carried out. Many problems and constraints associated with the implementation of teaching based on a constructivist philosophy of learning were also identified during the research.
