Knowledge management (KM) is a process of knowledge creation, validation, presentation, dissemination, and application. It is a set of procedures, infrastructures, technical and managerial tools, designed in the direction of creating, sharing, and leveraging knowledge within and outside of the organization. Educational institutions intentionally engaged in the process of acquiring, storing and disseminating knowledge through all the processes from administration to curriculum development and classroom interactions. The objectives of the study were to find out (1) faculty perceptions regarding knowledge management practices (2) the existing knowledge management practices (3) find out the benefits of knowledge management practices (4) the prevailing challenges in the effective use of knowledge management practices (5) implementation barriers in knowledge management practices and finally the development of Knowledge management framework for higher education of Pakistan. The sequential concurrent triangulation research design from mixed method was adopted. Furthermore, survey was conducted, and the study was descriptive in nature. The population of study was all approved PhDs research supervisors of all public and private sector universities in Pakistan. The researcher used multi-stage sampling techniques to select the sample for the quantitative portion of study.

Furthermore, knowledge management as a tool was never used widely in universities of Pakistan. The findings uncovered the need of knowledge management practices to be placed in universities of Pakistan. This research study concludes that knowledge management practices has not been fully incorporated in the planned agenda of most universities and Higher Education commissions of Pakistan, no knowledge management plan, lack of proper infrastructure, no knowledge management framework, never accomplished Knowledge management audit, no research unit to looking market and no knowledge management projects with national or international level. The study recommends that universities and Higher vii Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan to design strategies, plan, framework, and policy guidelines for knowledge management practices. Special budget, knowledge management unit, National and international level training, capturing of tacit and explicit knowledge facilities, leadership support, sophisticated technologies, appointment of knowledge management officers and primary coordination point may be provided for effective use of knowledge management practices in universities of Pakistan.

عصر حاضر میں آرائش انسانی کے جدید سائنسی انقلابات اور اسلامی نقطۂ نظر

Every single thing made by Allah, the Creator of all things has its own essence of beauty and attraction to it. However, out of all the stunning creations of Almighty Allah, humans are the most superior creation which has the ability to gain knowledge. We, humans, have been given the power by Allah to explore the rest of his creations in nature and fully understand the beauty and functions of each and every aspect of it in order to take advantage of it. Islam is a religion based on nature and Shariah is a law which lays down rules for Muslims to follow which also allows us to move forward with the advancements in the world. It has a unique way of life for any person of any time to follow which cannot be found in any other religion. However, any development which takes place creates new problems and new obstacles which can only be manoeuvred by the researchers and scholars of that specific time who will decide the right use of that commodity and explain the commodity. This will allow the new invention to be utilised fully. Moreover, in this world many people want to look their best and feel their best and will be willing to go through many ways for their ideal look. With this desire, many jobs become associated with achieving this for people. Nonetheless, this leads to people putting their time, money and effort into something which can risk their entire life which can result in either an advantage or disadvantage. Moreover, they should know whether this is against their religious values. Those acts which cross your religious boundaries and are considered “haram”or not permitted are wrong. Thus, it is necessary for us to first consider whether it is crossing the boundaries and proving to be disadvantageous for you so that the wrong norms and values are not transmitted into the future generations.
