Corporate environmentalism refers to the recognition by a corporation of the importance of environmental issues and how it integrates those issues into its strategy. A developing country provides a very different context with regard to environmental issues. The researcher has proposed an extended corporate environmentalism model and tested this model in a developing country, Pakistan. Six theories including Stakeholder Theory, Institutional approach, Strategic Fit, Slack Resource Theory, Agency Theory and Resource Based View were analyzed for development of extended corporate environmentalism model. The drivers of corporate environmental strategies were separated in internal and external factors. Internal drivers include issue legitimation, discretionary slack, employee concern, BOD concern and international experience while external drivers include regulatory forces, customer concern, competitive advantage, competitor concern, activists pressures and media concern. Top management commitment was taken as antecedent as well as mediator in the proposed model. Impact of industry type and corporation size on the proposed model was also analyzed. Data were collected through a questionnaires survey from 356 managers from organizations in a variety of industries from major cities of Pakistan. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was applied for model fit measures while Preacher and Hayes (2004) macro (syntax for SPSS) was used for mediation analysis. This study makes a contribution by identifying institutional pressures in the form of regulatory forces (coercive forces), issue legitimation (normative forces), competitive advantage and competitors (mimic forces) as important drivers for Pakistani organizations. Conversely, customer, media and activists are less effective drivers for corporate environmental strategies.

مولانا محمد اسمٰعیل نانا[جنوبی افریقا]

مولانا محمد اسمعٰیل نانا
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ ماہ رمضان میں جانسبرگ(جنوبی افریقہ)کے ایک جید عالم اورنہایت مخیر بزرگ مولانا محمد اسمعٰیل کاانتقال ہوگیا مرحوم اصل باشندہ ڈابہیل یاسملک ضلع سورت گجرات کے تھے۔ہم لوگ جب ڈابہیل پہنچے ہیں اس وقت مدرسہ میں متوسطان پڑھتے تھے۔ مفتی صاحب اورراقم الحروف دونوں کے اسباق میں پابندی سے شریک ہوتے اورصبح وشام کمرہ میں حاضر رہتے تھے۔ اس زمانہ میں گاندھی جی کی تحریک سول نافرمانی چل رہی تھی۔حکومت نے اس میں شریک ہونے والوں کی جائیدادیں ضبط کرکے ان کوفروخت کرنا شروع کیا تھا۔اس پرمولانا مفتی عتیق الرحمن صاحب عثمانی نے اپنا مشہور اورمعرکتہ الآرا فتوی دیا کہ ان جائیدادوں پرحکومت کاقبضہ ناجائز اورحرام ہے اس لیے کسی مسلمان کے لیے ایسی جائیداد کاخریدنا جائز نہیں ہے۔ اس فتوی سے ایوان حکومت میں زلزلہ آگیا اور فتوی ضبط کرلیا گیا۔ اس موقع پر مرحوم مولوی محمد اسمعٰیل نانانے بڑی جرأت مندی اور دلیری کاثبوت دیا، اس فتوے کاگجراتی زبان میں ترجمہ کیا،ہزاروں کی تعداد میں طبع کیا اور پھر راتوں رات خفیہ طورپر دورہ کرکے اسے ایک ایک مسلمان کے گھر پہنچایا۔مرحوم نے جو کچھ پڑھا تھا شوق،محنت اوردلچسپی سے پڑھا تھا، مطالعہ کے خوگر تھے۔اس لیے علمی استعداد پختہ تھی۔طبیعت کے شروع ہی سے نیک اوردین دار تھے۔فراغت کے بعد جنوبی افریقہ چلے گئے اور کاروبار شروع کیا تولکھ پتی بن گئے۔ نہایت مخیر اورسیرچشم تھے، عربی مدارس کی امداد بہت دل کھول کر کرتے تھے۔ کتنے ہی مولوی صاحبان اورحاجت مندوں کے مستقل ماہانہ وظائف انھوں نے مقرر کررکھے تھے۔بصرف زرِکثیر متعدد دینی کتابوں کااردو سے انگریزی میں ترجمہ کرایا اور بڑے اہتمام سے چھاپ کر انھیں شائع کیا۔ دیوبند اوراس کے علماء کے نام کے عاشق تھے۔ کئی سال سے فالج کے شدید مرض میں مبتلا تھے اورصاحب فراش ہوگئے تھے لیکن اس عالم میں...

فتح مکہ میں آنحضرت ﷺکا سیاسی کردار

The conquest of Makkah is an extraordinary and unprecedented event of the Muslim history in which the Holy Prophet (PBUH) demonstrated his political discernment and strategy that Islam is an unassailable entity that can never be eradicated. Your democratic engagement in the conquest of Makkah facilitated the establishment of a government of peace and reconciliation in Arabia, which led the Arabs to grow submissive to the Sharia. They all became Muslims as a consequence of your political participation; hence, Makkah's government was then altered and structured accordingly with Islamic principles. The political role of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in the conquest of Makkah has been addressed in this article. The methodology chosen to go ahead with this piece was astounding. However, the challenge faced during the research was: Muslims in the modern age encounter a slew of political issues. And as a result, Politicians, if they try, can overcome their challenges by remembering the Holy Prophet's (PBUH) political involvement in the Conquest of Makkah. Keywords: The Holy Prophet (PBUH), political problems, The Conquest of Makkah, Modern era.

School-Home Partnership in the Context of a Private School Located in Karachi, Pakistan

This study explores how school-community partnership is developed as an improvement strategy in a private school located in Karachi, Pakistan, where most of the schools are operating without partnership with the communities. The study was qualitative in nature, in which interviews, observations and document analysis were used as different tools for data collection in order to get knowledge about different partnership practices. The practices were found to be the different modes of communication between the homes and school, involvement of the community in different curricular and co- curricular activities, exchange of resources between the homes and the school and various voluntary services by the parents. The study also identified the factors which enhance or hinder school home partnership and explored the perceptions of the school staff regarding their roles in building school-home partnership. The communication between the school and the homes was found to be the fundamental practice for improving the learning environment for the students both at home and at school. It is done through formal meetings, circulars, provision of reading materials, telephonic contacts and different awareness programs arranged at the school. Partnership with homes was also found in terms of involvement of parents in curricular and co-curricular activities, which include story-telling, project works, formal discussions, and classroom observation. Similarly, voluntary services by the parents and the resources which are exchanged between the school and the families were also closely examined in this study. The factors which enhance school-home partnership were found to be: the support and guidance provided by the principal, availability of the resources, location of the school and the learning environment of the school. Meanwhile, while the factors which hinder schoolhome partnership were language problem of some of the parents, hesitation of novice teachers in interacting with the parents and the presence of certain strict rules and regulations. The perception of the school staff and parents about the roles of the principal showed that s/he should be a role model for other staff, develop a collaborative environment within the school and encourage team work, so that parents can be motivated and involved in the education of their children.
