مولانا محمد شمیم کیرانوی
افسوس ہے کہ شعبان المعظم کے آخری ہفتہ میں مدرسہ صولتیہ مکہ معظمہ کے ناظم مولانا محمد شمیم کیرانوی وفات پاگئے۔ اس مدرسہ کی داغ بیل ترکوں کے دور میں اس وقت پڑی تھی، جب حجاز میں مدرسوں کی تعداد بہت کم تھی، پہلے اس کی زمام کار مولانا رحمت اﷲ کیرانوی نے سنبھالی جن کا خاص مشن ردمسیحیت تھا۔ اظہارالحق کی تصنیف اور مشہور پادری فنڈر کو عبرتناک شکست دینا ان کا بڑا کارنامہ تھا۔
مولانا محمد شمیم کے والد بزرگوار مولانا محمد سلیم کیرانوی کی نظامت کے زمانہ میں مدرسہ صولتیہ نے بڑی ترقی کی۔ ان کی وفات کے بعد مولانا محمد شمیم صاحب نے مدرسہ کے لیے اپنی خدمات وقف کردی تھیں، انھوں نے اپنے والد ماجد کی روایات کو باقی رکھا۔ ہندوستان سے حج و زیارت کے لیے تشریف لے جانے والے علماء مشائخ کے آرام و آسائش کا وہ بڑا خیال رکھتے اور ان کو ہر قسم کی مدد اور سہولت بہم پہنچاتے۔ معارف اور دارالمصنفین کے بھی قدردان تھے اور کبھی کبھی خطوط لکھ کر ان سے اپنے تعلق کا ثبوت دیتے۔ مولانا کی عمر ابھی کچھ زیادہ نہیں تھی لیکن ان کی حیات مستعار کے دن پورے ہوچکے تھے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کو اپنے جوار رحمت میں جگہ دے اور مدرسہ کو ان کا نعم البدل عطا فرمائے، آمین۔

Today’s world is a global village. Societies affect each other far deeper and faster than ever. New problems are sprouting with every coming day. We feel that the cultural issues are the most significant ones in this context. The question is how we should deal with these problems. To us, the solution lies in the concept of Sadd al-Dharā’i‘(prevention), one of the instruments of Sharī‘ah (Islamic Law). Such is its importance as all the four schools of thought are of the same opinion about its scope. A cultural change if drives Muslims away from the objectives of Sharī‘ah, it will have to be stopped or altered to suit the objectives, but if it leads to something good without damaging the objectives of Sharī‘ah, it will be accepted. New problems are multifarious. We need to bring ijtihād into practice and solve such problems. This research article discusses the concept of Sadd al-Dharā’i‘(prevention.), its meaning, definition, and scope. It also discusses different opinions of scholars. The author of this paper, then, deliberates its use for its applications to solve the new problems being faced by the Muslims across the world.
This descriptive study aimed at analyzing supervisory system for government boys’ high schools of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. The research was organized in seven districts of the Province, namely Abbottabad, Bannu, Buner, D.I.Khan, Kohat, Mardan, and Peshawar. These districts were randomly picked from respective divisions with a view to generalize the outcomes of the research to the whole province. The rationale of the research was based on the fact that at the secondary level quality of education in the province is deteriorating due to many reasons such as lack of commitment of the Principals, Districts Managers, inadequate training, feedback and support of supervisors to the teachers, to improve their productivity and effectiveness. The core objectives of the study were to draw indicators for development of tools in the light of identification and description of different supervisory concepts, models and supervisory practices and analyze the existing supervisory system of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, for knowing the strengths and limitations to provide solution of the problems. The tools of the research consisted three questionnaires for teachers, principals and districts managers. The items of the questionnaires were divided into six sections. The tools of the research were made reliable by Cronbach’s Alpha test statistics, objective approach and pilot study. The total sample population of the research in the randomly selected seven districts was 6281 in which 5815 were male teachers, 445 were male principals, and 25 were male DEO, DY, DEO and ASDEO each included. The sample size was determined by Krejcie and Morgan formula, which came out to be 1332 in which 1219 teachers, 92 principals and 21 districts managers were included. The data were obtained through questionnaires and tabulated. ANOVA and simple percentage formula as well as cross tabulation procedures were used for the analysis of the data. Main findings of the research show that the supervisors did not support supervisees to provide teaching and learning material, they were also not easily available to supervisees to support, and suggest how to teach. The present supervisory system did not help the teachers in the completion of courses in time and the system also was not appropriate. The study recommends introduction of new technologies in the present supervisory system, creation of supervisory cadre/unit and community participation in the supervisory system is necessary to increasing the frequency of visits and overcome the burden and challenges supervisors face. There is no systematic system for instructional supervision by school heads in the secondary schools of the province. It is the most important duty of school heads because the only concern of the department is to promote learning through effective teaching practices. It is therefore recommended that focus of the department should be on effective instructional supervision.
