The aim of this research is to assess the impact of the different factors namely environmental concern, social influence, green motivation, green information, environmental health & safety, media exposure/green advertisement, green consumerism, and willingness to pay more on consumer buying intention in changing green marketing environment in Pakistan. Based on convenience sampling technique data was collected from three provincial capitals (Peshawar, Lahore, and Karachi) and the country capital Islamabad. A total of 403 valid responses were received. Data analysis was carried out through descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling. The results revealed a significant impact of green consumerism, social influence, green intention, green motivation, and willingness to pay more on consumer buying intention. While the impact of media exposure, environmental health & safety, and environment concern was found insignificant. Discussion, limitation, and future research direction are also presented. This study is original in a number of ways. First, previous studies have individually assessed the impact of some of the proposed factors on consumer purchase intentions, there is limited research in context of green purchase intention. Second, there are contradictory results in existing research pertinent to the impact of different factors on the purchase intentions of the consumer, this requires further research to clarify the impact and identify the determinants of green purchase intentions. Third, little is known about factors that could significantly affect the greenness of consumers’ choices. Hence, the present study would help add to existing knowledge by clarifying their impact. Fourth, not only the study will help in identification of critical factors that affect green purchase intention, the study identifies the factors influencing green purchase behavior of consumers, which provides additional motivation for the present research. Fifth, there hasn’t been a study that evaluate which factors are critical in consumer buying intention of the eco-friendly products in context of Pakistan. Scant research sheds light on green marketing strategies and its impact on green consumer purchasing patterns in the context of developing countries. Therefore, there is an increasing need to study factors that can help consumer purchase towards environmentally friendly products. Sixth, the study ascertains new paradigms that could make provision for better understanding of complicated relationship between different factors and consumer purchase intentions and can help identify new facts that can enhance the generalizability of results not only in developed countries but also in less developed countries. Seventh, the present study utilizes broader demographic profile to analyze respondents extending the collection of data from multiple cities in Pakistan investigating with larger sample size and greater geographic spread. The study has some limitations. The study utilized convenience sampling technique, it is noteworthy that the results could possibly have been more generalizable, future study may use probability sampling techniques. Furthermore, only three cities are included in the study. Future study may be conducted in multiple countries in different cities. The findings in the current research have far-reaching implications theoretically and practically. To start with, the findings would help in the understanding of the perceptions and mindsets of consumers as far as green products are concerned, including the factors that affect their decision to purchase or keep away from a green product.Policy makers may find the results relevant as they explore regulations and standards to set and enforce in the interest of promoting green business processes. Business executives and employees may find the results relevant in their efforts to strategize for eco-branding, to stand out from market rivals. The study helps in identification of factors that could shift people’s attitude towards purchasing green products. Thus, Pak-EPA could establish certain guidelines for different business organization keeping in light the perception of people that shape their attitude. The PAK-EPA could use these factors as a starting point to educate the companies with respect to the concerns of the public. Future research directions are also discussed. Keywords: Environmental concern; Social influence; Green motivation; Green information; Environmental health & safety: Media exposure/Green advertisement; Green consumerism; Willingness to pay more; Consumer buying intention; Pakistan.

وقت کے لمحے موتی ہیرے

وقت کے لمحے، موتی ہیرے
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز سامعین اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرناہے وہ ہے:’’وقت کے لمحے، موتی ہیرے‘‘
صدرِذی وقار!
وقت واقعی ایک دولت ہے جس نے وقت کی رفتار کے ساتھ چلنے کا ڈھنگ سیکھ لیا وہ دولت مند بن گیا ، صاحب ثروت ہو گیا ،سلیقہ شعار ہو گیا، ہنر مند بن گیا ، سعادت مند بن گیا، اس کی تجوریاں ہیرو جواہرات سے بھر گئیں ۔
جنابِ صدر!
وقت کے صحیح استعمال سے جہاں انسان ظاہری طور پر خوشحال ہو جاتا ہے۔ وہاں اس کے باطنی خدوخال بھی سنور جاتے ہیں اس کو روحانی تازگی میسر آتی ہے اس کی ذہنی آسودگی کو چار چاند لگ جاتے ہیں اس کی پریشانیاں دور ہو جاتی ہیں اور اس کی مشکلات آسان ہو جاتی ہیں۔ وقت کی قدر کرنے والے واقعی اس دولت سے بھر پور فائدہ اٹھاتے ہیں۔
محترم صدر!
اگر کائنات کی رنگینیوں کو امعانِ نظر سے دیکھیں تو ہر شے وقت کی تسبیح میں پروئی ہوئی نظر آتی ہے۔ سورج اپنے وقت پرمشرق سے طلوع ہوتا اور وقت پر ہی مغرب میں غروب ہو جاتا ہے۔ ستارے اپنی روشنی بکھیرتے ہوئے آتے ہیں اور وقت پر ہی ہمیں نور کی بشارت دے کر رخصت ہو جاتے ہیں اللہ تعالیٰ نے کائنات کے تمام نظام کو وقت کے دھارے میں محصور کیا ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
موذن کی اذان وقت پر ہوتی ہے۔ خطیب کا خطبہ وقت پر ہوتا ہے۔ جج کافیصلہ وقت پر ہوتا ہے۔ شہید کے خون کا قطرہ وقت پر گرتا ہے، غازی میدانِ جنگ میں وقت پر کفار کو واصل جہنم کرتا ہے ،معلم کی تدریس وقت پر ہوتی ہے۔ مصنف کی تصنیف...

The Universality and Scope of Justice in Islam

Definition of justice and its scope is something about what legal and political philosophers could never reach a unified position throughout a history. In these days, many in the West are trying to present Islam and its law and justice as something utterly uncivilized, unjust, cruel, and outdated and of no use in modern world. Positivist's concept of justice that prevails in the world today, mostly based on temporary secular-materialistic values, is in most of the cases opposed to the eternal principles and rules laid down by God Almighty. Justice according to the early proponents of Natural law, if not based on the universal values in itself is not justice, and as such is doomed to failure. Today we are witnessing the kind of global justice that threatens even to destroy humanity.  The present article is an effort to find out the most suitable definition of justice according to the Islamic law, and present the concept of universality and scope of justice in Islam in a way to show the absolute God's principles and values are unchangeable and everlasting, and only rightful solution to be followed today.

Womens Right of Inheritance: Practices and Challenges in Punjab

Inheritance is the primary mechanism that regulates the intergenerational transference of financial assets and property. Ownership and control of inherited property and assets can lead to economic, social, political and psychological prosperity of women. However, in Punjab’s context the female share of inheritance is often denied and in many cases women surrender by choice. The cases of denial and surrender persist despite 2011’s criminal law amendment that renders denial of female as a criminal offense. The present study is an effort to understand this phenomenon. It analyzes the cultural narratives that legitimize denial and promote surrender as an honorable choice. Simultaneously, the study investigates the institutional and structural barriers that prevent women from making a successful claim. Rawalpindi and Bahawalpur districts were selected as research sites. The study is ontologically grounded in interpretivist paradigm and epistemologically situated in social constructionist philosophy. The three tier sample of the study was selected through purposive sampling technique. Forty female participants, ten revenue officers, and ten legal and women rights experts were recruited for this study. Three types of in-depth interview guides were developed to collect the data. The study results revealed that customs and culture mediate denial and surrender. Even though inheritance is transferred to women more often following the 2011 amendment, still most women cannot access or control their inheritance. Similarly, discrepancies within the LRMIS and NADRA system and tediously slow judicial processes further exacerbate the situation. It is suggested that a deconstruction of cultural narratives, creation of transparency within the digital record systems, and sensitization of police officers, revenue department staff and judges can improve the situation. Similarly, increasing the number of female employees in these departments is equally important. Keywords: Women, Inheritance, Punjab, Institutional mechanism, Perceptions.
