This study aimed to examine the outcomes such as Delinquency, Prosociality and Future Orientation as a consequence of trauma exposure in traumatized adolescents with and without Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) along with examining the mediating role of PTSD. A total of 600 adolescents (391 boys and 209 girls) of age ranged from 12 -18 years including traumatized (n=300) and non-traumatized adolescents (n=300) were randomly selected from different regions of Pakistan. The data was collected by using Self Report Delinquency Scale, Prosocial Personality Battery, Children’s Future Orientation Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and UCLA PTSD RI (DSM 5). PTSD was significantly and positively associated with delinquency (r= .65) and pro-sociality (r= .67), while negatively associated with future orientation (r= -.51). The results further explained the mediating role of PTSD between the predictor traumatic exposure and outcomes future orientation, prosociality and delinquency in addition to the moderating role of social support. Further analysis showed that traumatized adolescents were higher on PTSD (M= 69.1, SD= 4.04) and delinquency (M= 60.1, SD= 30.6) whereas were lower on social support (M= 31.6, SD= 23.9), future orientation (M= 52.7, SD= 20.0) and prosociality (M= 156, SD= 69.2). Non-traumatized adolescents were lower on PTSD (M= 19.6, SD= 4.33) and delinquency (M= 24.6, SD= 4.72) whereas higher on social support (M= 60.2, SD= 3.09), future orientation (M= 68.5, SD= 2.67) and prosociality (M= 243, SD= 7.92). Females scored higher on social support (M= 60.4, SD= 2.9), prosociality (M= 242.5, SD= 8.0) and PTSD (M= 43.4, SD= 25.4) whereas males were found higher on future orientation (M= 68.6, SD= 2.5) and delinquency (M= 47.7, SD= 29.7). Males scored lower on social support (M= 37.0, SD= 24.2), prosociality (M= 188.2, SD= 69.5) and PTSD (M= 38.6, SD= 24.2) whereas females were found lower on future orientation (M= 49.6, SD= 20.5) and delinquency (M= 23.9, SD= 4.6). The healthy potential for having a normal adolescence in Pakistan is unlikely in the current circumstances and the future psychological well-being of Pakistani children/ adolescents is at risk of being compromised by on-going traumatic experiences. This study indicates the urge for the timely management of the outcomes as a consequence of exposure to traumatic events.

شاہ فیصل شہید

فیصل، شاہ ( شہید )
کل شیء ھالک الا وجھہ
گزشتہ مہینہ شاہ فیصل کاحادثۂ شہادت موجودہ حالات میں عالم اسلام کا سب سے بڑا المیہ ہے جس کی شدت کوایک مدت تک فراموش نہ کیاجاسکے گا۔ مرحوم اس زمانہ میں عالم اسلام کی آبرو، عزت و وقار اورتمکنت تھے۔ قدرت نے انھیں سوز اورساز دونوں نعمتوں سے نوازا تھا۔کہنے کوخادم حرمین شریفین تھے لیکن درحقیقت وہ پاسبان ونگہبان حرم اسلام تھے۔ نورایمان ویقین ان کاجوہر ذاتی، تعامل بالکتاب والسنۃ ان کاآئین حقیقی، فہم وفراست اورتدبر و دوراندیشی ان کی طبیعت کے گوہر آبدار تھے۔ مرحوم کی سربراہی کی مدت گیارہ برس سے زیادہ نہیں ہے، اوریہ وہ زمانہ ہے جب کہ عالم اسلام اندرونی وبیرونی اسباب وعوامل کے باعث شدید کشمکش امید وبیم سے دوچار تھااوراس کے سرپر اضطراب وتشویش کی قیامتیں مچل رہی تھیں، لیکن شاہ فیصل کی قائدانہ بصیرت وبصارت نے وہ معجزہ نمائی کی کہ عالم ہی دوسرا ہوگیا۔ امریکہ جواس وقت دنیا کی سب سے بڑی طاقت و قوت ہے اورسیاست’’ فرنگ‘‘__جواس دور کا سب سے بڑاحربہ ہے، دونوں نے اس طرح سپرافگنی کی کہ روس اورامریکہ کے بجائے عالم کی نظریں شاہ کی جنبش مژگان وآبروپرمرتکز ہوگئیں اورامریکہ کے ٹائمز وغیرہ کوتسلیم کرنا پڑا کہ اس زمانہ کاسب سے بڑاسیاسی اورطاقتور انسان شاہ فیصل ہیں۔ یہ انھی کا حوصلہ تھا کہ عرب کی طاقت کالوہا دنیا سے منوالیا،انھوں نے عرب ممالک میں اتحاد پیدا کیا، انھیں خوداعتمادی سکھائی، عرب قومیت کی لعنت سے نجات دلا کرانھیں صراط مستقیم پر گامزن کیا۔ان کے دل میں اسلام اورمسلمانوں کادرد کوٹ کوٹ کر بھرا ہوا تھا۔ انھوں نے اربوں اورکھربوں روپیہ سے ضرورت مند عرب اوردوسرے عرب اسلامی ممالک کی بے تحاشا مدد کی، دنیا میں جہاں کہیں بھی مسلمان آباد ہیں ان پر اُن کی نگاہ رہتی اوراُن کے فوزوفلاح کی تدبیر...

I’Jaz Al-Qur’an Al-Karim an Evaluation of Historical Discourse and Dimensions

This paper aims at an evaluation of various approaches to define and redefine the classical theory of the I‘jaz (the inimitability of the Qur’ān) in the perspective of the challenges and problems faced by the Muslim society emphasising a need to cope with the rational thinking, modernity, scientific progress, psychological advancement and civilizational development, though there has been a comparatively lesser description of the rhetoricism of the Qur’ān too. It provides an account of scholarship exploring some novel dimensions of the matchlessness of the Qur’ān in the contemporaneous context. They have justified rationally and psychologically the Qur’ānic historic challenge of producing a book or its some surahs or few verses similar to the Qur’ān that has offered the irresistible call to the whole mankind: “Say: “If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur’ān, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support”. (Al-Isra 17: 88) The same challenge occurs in the Qur’ān on three previous occasions (Al-Baqarah, 2: 23-24; Yunus 10: 38, and Hūd 11: 13) and later also in al-Tūr (52: 33-34). The content of all the verses referred to above is in response to the allegation of the unbelievers that the Qur’ān had been composed by the Prophet (peace be on him) and then falsely ascribed to God. All this was refuted. This refutation of the Qur’ān was logically established by the modern Arabic scholars through their sound arguments.

The Roal of Conflicting Logics in Shaping Individual Identities: A Case of Microfinance

While institutional theory has a long history in the domain of organizational behavior, institutional logics are now widely used in addressing issues of interest in the organizational behavior area. Institutional logics dictate the decisions regarding the adaptation of competing means and ends in double bottom line businesses like microfinance. However, the impact of institutional logics remains under-theorized especially with regards to the influence of conflicting institutional logics on managerial identity creation processes. This thesis traces the process of identity creation as a result of the sensemaking process of employees in the presence of conflicting logics. The identities enacted in this manner in turn affect organizational citizenship behavior in certain ways. The thesis also links logics, sense-making processes, and managerial identities in a manner that individual responses to conflicting logics can be studied. It also explains variations in managerial identities by considering the contingent effects of intrinsic and extrinsic goals of an individual to the sense-making process. Results show that conflicting logics in the microfinance industry do result in separate practices. These practices are interpreted differently by employees depending on their personal goals. Moreover, the type of interpretation affects the utilitarian or normative identity creation of the employee. Finally, the study finds that utilitarian employees are low on civic virtue as compared to normative employees. The study empirically contributes to the literature by offering evidence of the causal chain of events which links the macro level institutional logics to the micro level employee civic virtue behavior.
