ابھی یہ سطور لکھی جا رہی تھیں کہ اچانک اطلاع ملی کہ مولانا سید ابوظفر ندوی نے اپنے وطن دیسنہ(بہار) میں وفات پائی۔اناﷲ واناالیہ راجعون۔مرحوم پرانے دور کے ندوی تھے۔ تمام علوم اسلامیہ وعربیہ میں دسترس رکھتے تھے،لیکن تاریخ ان کاخاص فن تھا، چنانچہ مرحوم نے جتنے مقالات لکھے اور جتنی کتابیں تالیف کیں اُن میں سے اکثر وبیشتر اسی موضوع پرہیں۔ اس فن کابڑا عمدہ اورصاف ستھرا مذاق رکھتے تھے، جو کچھ لکھتے تھے شگفتہ زبان میں لکھتے اور تحقیق کے ذریعہ فراہمی معلومات کاحق اداکردیتے تھے۔ ’مختصر تاریخ ہند‘ اور ’تاریخ سندھ‘ دارالمصنفین کی طرف سے شائع ہوکر مقبول عام وخاص ہوچکی ہیں۔ایک ضخیم کتاب ’’تاریخ گجرات‘‘ کے نام سے ندوۃ المصنفین کے زیرِ اہتمام طبع ہورہی ہے۔مختلف کالجوں میں پروفیسر رہے اوراب ادھر سالہا سال سے احمدآباد میں گجرات اکاڈمی سے وابستہ تھے۔ مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ کے بھانجہ یا بھتیجے تھے اور یوں بھی صورۃً وسیرۃً سیدصاحب سے اس درجہ مشابہ تھے کہ ۵۵ء میں اپنی صاحبزادی کی شادی کے سلسلہ میں کلکتہ آئے اور پہلے سے کسی اطلاع کے بغیر اچانک راقم الحروف سے ملنے کی غرض سے دفتر میں تشریف لے آئے تومرحوم کودیکھ کرسید صاحب کی شکل وصورت کا نقشہ آنکھوں میں پھر گیا اور بے قرار کرگیا،یہ بالکل پہلی ملاقات تھی مگروہی بزرگانہ شفقت ومحبت ، باتوں میں علمیت اورذہانت کے ساتھ وہی بھولا پن اورسادگی ،وہی غایتِ کرم اور توجہ۔ سمدھیانہ میں شادی کا ہنگامہ بپاتھا اس لیے شب غریب خانہ پر ہی بسر کی۔ احمد آبادسے بھی وقتاًفوقتاً خط لکھتے رہتے تھے اوراُس میں بھی وہی مشفقانہ اور بزرگانہ انداز ہوتاتھا۔میر ے اور اپنے خانگی معاملات پراس طرح گفتگو کرتے تھے کہ گویا ہم دونوں قریبی رشتہ دار ہوں۔ان ذاتی اخلاق کے علاوہ بڑے متشرع اور متدین تھے، دو راتیں میرے مکان پر...
In the status and degrees of spirituality, the highest ranking position is prophecy and apostleship in which a person gets free feeds and knowledge from the creator of the universe and then with this light and illumination brightens the hearts of other mankind. Indeed, it is an unusual claim that a prophet or a messenger does and in fact it requires strong evidences to prove. That’s why all prophets are awarded some qualities, discriminations, signs and evidences from Allah Almighty through which people clearly get awareness and acknowledgement. Such things are “Signs and Evidences of Prophecy” in which the greatest sign is “miracle”. The basic question of this article is that what are signs, evidences and arguments of prophecy in Sharaf-ul-Muṣṭafa and Al-Shifā? And what are their present implementation and importance? These books are famous for the dignity and rights of Prophet (S.A.W) and researched by scholars as a whole on their writers, contents, and methodology but not yet studied in this perspective. In this article few most important of them are selected and analyzed. Innocence and pure race, miraculous appearance, personality, debonairness, eloquence, stamp of prophet-hood, miracles and being illiterate etc. All are symptoms of prophecy of Muhammad (S.A.W). In contemporary situation the best way to prove truthfulness and greatness of Prophet (S.A.W) is to focus on better scientific, rational, logical and practical aspects of Muhammad’s (S.A.W) life and we have to apply it.
The purpose of present study was to analyze occupational stress and personality type of academic
managers serving in public sector degree colleges in Punjab. Major objectives of the study were to find
out the relationship between occupational stress and personality types among academic managers of
the higher education institutions, to identify the level of occupational stress among academic managers
of the higher education institutions, to determine the gender differences regarding occupational stress
and personality types. All the 295 government degree colleges in Punjab constituted the population of
the study, out of which 120 were taken as representative sample. Data were collected through
Occupational Stress Inventory–Revised and Myers Briggs type indicator personality. Data were
analyzed by using descriptive statistics such as Mean, Standard deviation, Percentages and Inferential
statistics such as t-test and Pearson Correlation. Analyses of the data lead to the findings.
On the basis of findings major conclusions were drawn which indicated a high level of occupational
stress in females than males. The occupational role that academic managers perform was reported as
the main source of stress. Data revealed that main domain of personality types among both male and
female academic managers were found as extroversion, sensing, thinking and judging. It was also
concluded that there is significant positive correlation between extroversion, sensing, thinking, judging
types of personality and occupational stress whereas significant negative correlation was found
between introversion type of personality with occupational stress.
Based on conclusions it was recommended that steps should be taken to reduce the occupational stress
of academic managers in higher education in order to improve the physical and mental health of
academic manager which will ultimately lead to the development of healthy and calm environment in
higher education institutions consequently enhancing the quality of higher education.
