The present study has two main objectives. First aim was to develop an indigenous scale to measure moral disengagement among adolescents and the second objective was to find out the predictive relationship among moral disengagement, dark triad and relational aggression among adolescents. Study-I was carried out to develop indigenous scale on moral disengagement among adolescents. The scale of moral disengagement was based on Bandura’s model of moral disengagement.Initially item pool of 90 items was generated by going through literature review based on previous scales developed on Bandura’s model and experts were also consulted to convert different dimensions of moral disengagement into culture relevant behaviors. Item pool of 90 items was turned into 76 items after expert evaluation and pilot testing. For finding highly correlated items in the first and second administration, sample of 284 adolescents between 12 to 19 years of age was selected. Finally, 40 highly correlated items were scrutinized. Factor analysis was carried out on sample of 400 adolescents, selected from different schools and colleges of district Gujrat. Exploratory Factor Analysis resulted into six factors comprising of 26 items (KMO= .8). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the same structure after deletion of two more items with good model fit indices (CFI= .902, CMIN/DF= 1.782, GFI=.923, AGFI= .901, RMSEA= .044) and six subcategories. Sub categories were labeled accordingly. Alpha reliability for full scale was .80 which indicate that scale is highly reliable.Study-II explored the predictive relationship among moral disengagement and dark triad with relational aggression. A sample of 612 adolescent students with age range 12-19 were selected from different educational institute of Gujrat, Pakistan. Newly developed moral disengagement scale for adolescents (MDSA) (Riaz & Bano, 2018), Dark triad personality scale short version (D3-short; Gul-E-Sehar & Fatimah, 2016) and the Urdu version of diverse adolescent relational aggression scale originally developed by Horton (2010) and translated by Riaz (2014) was used to measure relational aggression. The findings of the present study revealed significant predictive relation of moral disengagement [R2 =.327; F (1,607) = 295.362, p<.01], diffusion and displacement of responsibility sub dimension with relational aggression [R2 =.182; F (1, 608) = 135.060, p<.01],advantageous comparison with relational aggression [R2 =.135; F (1, 608) = 94.823-, p<.01],dehumanization with relational aggression [R2 =.199; F (1, 608) = 151.106, p<.01], ,attribution of blame with relational aggression [R2 =.134; F (1, 608) = 94.374, p<.01],moral justification with relational aggression [R2 =.110; F (1, 608) = 75.088, p<.01], and euphemistic labeling with relational aggression [R2 =.054; F (1, 609) = 34.742, p<.01] The current study also revealed significant predictive relation of Machiavellianism with relational aggression [R2 =. 220; F (1, 607) = 171.340, p<.01], narcissism with relational aggression [R2 =.189; F (1, 607) = 141.753, p<.01] and psychopathy with relational aggression [R2 =.265; F (1, 607) = 218.635, p<.01].Multiple regression analysis was carried out to find out the combined effect of moral disengagement and dark triad on relational aggression among adolescents. Findings revealed significant predictive relation of moral disengagement and machiavellianism with relational aggression [R2 =.423; F (2, 604) = 221.483, p<.01], with Moral disengagement and narcissism [R2 =.407; F (2, 604) = 206.882, p<.01], and with moral disengagement and psychopathy [R2 =.393; F (2, 604) = 195.887, p<.01].The present study supported the predictive relationship of moral disengagement and dark triad with relational aggression. These findings may have implication in the future intervention and prevention procedure for adolescents.

نواب سید محمد علی حسن خان

ایک نواب عالم کی وفات
ہندوستان کے ان پرانے مسلمان خاندانوں میں سے جو شرافت نسب کے ساتھ علم اور دولت دونوں کے جامع ہیں، اب خال خال گھرانے رہ گئے ہیں، انہیں میں سے ایک والا جاہ نواب سید صدیق حسن خان مرحوم کا خاندان تھا، جن کے چھوٹے صاحبزادہ صفی الدولہ حسام الملک شمس العلماء نواب سید محمد علی حسن خان مرحوم نے ۱۹؍ نومبر ۱۹۳۶؁ء مطابق، ۳؍ رمضان المبارک ۱۳۵۵؁ھ کی صبح کو اپنی کوٹھی بھوپال ہاؤ س لال باغ لکھنؤ میں بہتر برس کی عمر میں وفات پائی، افسوس ہے کہ ایک پرانے خاندان کے فضل و کمال اور جاہ و جلال کی یادگار آج مٹ گئی۔
مرحوم ان لوگوں میں تھے جن کی آنکھوں نے مسلمانوں کے علمی و تعلیمی، سیاسی و تمدنی انقلاب کے مناظر دیکھے، وہ پیدا تو ایک ’’کنزرویٹو‘‘ گھرانے میں ہوئے اور اسی ماحول میں تعلیم و تربیت پائی، لیکن فطرت کی طرف سے وہ ایک اثر پذیر اور حساس دل لائے تھے، باوجود اس کے کہ وہ بھوپال میں پیدا ہوئے جہاں حددرجہ قدامت کی حکومت اور سطوت تھی اور ممکن نہ تھا کہ نورمحل میں نئی روشنی کی ایک کرن بھی پہنچ سکے، مگر استعداد طبع دیکھئے کہ کہ خود بخود ادھر طبیعت کا میلان ہوا، سرسید کی جدید تعلیمی تحریک میں اور پھر ندوۃ العلماء کی مذہبی تحریک میں شریک ہوئے اور ہر قسم کی جانی و مالی خدمتیں انجام دیں، مدت تک ندوہ کے اعزازی ناظم رہے، دارالمصنفین کے اساسی ارکان میں تھے اور لکھنؤ کی ہر سنجیدہ تحریک میں ان کا نام سرفہرست رہتا تھا۔
وہ عربی زبان کے عالم، فارسی زبان کے ماہر اور اردو کے مشّاق اہل قلم تھے، فارسی شعر و سخن اور محاورات پر ان کو عبور کامل حاصل تھا، فارسی کا مشکل سے کوئی اچھا شعر ہوگا...

قرآن مجید اور احادیث میں لفظ رحم کا تصور اور استعمالات

All praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the entire Universe Muhammad, who is a symbol of mercy, peace, and love to all human beings. Islam is a universal religion. Its blessings, bounties, and auspiciousness are common to all human beings irrespective of community, caste, creed, region, and nation. Islam is the religion of peace and mercy. It is a religion for humanity. It strongly emphasizes love and mercy in general. It teaches us that we should show mercy. R-?-M (Arabic: ?) is the tri consonantal root of many Arabic and Hebrew words, and many of those words are used in the Holy Quran. Holy Quran is a complete guide for all human beings. All chapters in the Quran, except one (Repentance Chapter), begin with the words “Bismillahiar-Rahman AR-Rahim” or in the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. IN Islam the title “Most Merciful” (al-Rahman) is one of the names of Allah and Compassionate (al-Rahim), which is the most common name occurring in the Quran. Rahman and Rahim both derive from the root Rahmat, which refers to tenderness and benevolence. Allah SWT could have used other attributes in its place, but he chooses these two which show their significance. God’s Mercy precedes his other attributes. Each worshipper repeats the attribute of mercy sixty-eight times/day during his five daily prayers. Without love and mercy, there will be chaos in society. Showing mercy to Allah’s creatures creates a society of peace and tolerance. That is why in Holy Quran Allah emphasized mercy and tenderness.

Impact of Positive and Negative Word-Of-Mouth on Purchase Intention: Mediating Role of Loyalty and Attitude

Word-of-Mouth (WOM) is an effective promotional strategy for appealing consumers of fast food restaurants. A lot of consumers choose to receive information through WOM when planning to visit a certain fast food restaurant. Fast food industry is on growing day by day in Pakistan. There are numerous national and international fast food restaurant brands and a rigid competition among them in the country. Purpose of the study is to measure the impact of positive and negative WOM on purchase intention among consumers of fast food restaurants in Pakistan. Also, mediating roles of loyalty and attitude between WOM (i.e. positive and negative Word-of-Mouth) and purchase intention are measured. Convenience sampling technique with a sample size of 254 consumers is applied. A personally administered questionnaire with five point likert scale is used to collect data from consumers. Collected data is then analyzed by using multiple regression analysis via Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Whereas, mediation effects are measured by Preacher and Hayes method. Results revealed that positive Word-of-Mouth (PWOM) has positive and significant impact on purchase intention (PI), loyalty, and attitude whether negative Word-of-Mouth (NWOM) has negative and significant impact on purchase intention, loyalty, and attitude. Other findings showed that loyalty and attitude have positive and significant impact on purchase intention towards a certain fast food restaurant. Study also exhibits partial mediation effect. Academic, managerial, and future implications are also discussed.
