مستشرقین کے مصحفِ عثمانی پر شبہات کا تنقیدی مطالعہ: علامہ شمس الحق افغانیؒ کے افکار کی روشنی میں Orientalists have paid much attention to the studies of Quran, in this regard the first target of Orientalists is Quranic Codification and its Historical position, for which they tried their best to object the Historical background of Mushaf -e Usmani and its validity. While Islamic History bears an ample testimony to the validity of this Manuscript, a general trend of the orientalists has been to question the validity of such a core Islamic ideal. Maulana Shamsulhaq Afghani was a famous and great scholar of subcontinent, belonged to District Charssada Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who wrote critical evaluations on Orientalist’s Quranic objections. He served on many important designations’ like ministry of Baluchistan Qalat, President of wifaq ul madaris al Arabia Pakistan, Vice Chancellor of Islamia University of Bahawalpur and member of Islamic ideology Council Pakistan. Among his contiribution there are works that deal with the criticism of the orientalists’ approaches to the study of Islam in general and Quran in particular. In his book”Uloom- ul- Quran” he criticize orientalist’s trends about the codification of Mushaf-e-Usmani. In this research paper some selected objections of orientalists related to the codification of Mushaf-e-Usmani, and their critical evaluation in the light of Shamsulhaq Afghani's Thoughts has been discussed.
Analysis of Thematic Progression in The Abstracts of Pakistan Researchers at Masters Level Abstract is a first short text appearing in the entire research communication. The academic discourse of abstract has been the focus of number of studies. Earlier studies including Graetz (1985), Kaplan (1994), Orasan (2001) and Harris (2002) have focused on abstracts of research article. However, very few studies are conducted on the genre of abstracts of thesis. The aim of this study is to investigate the genre of thesis abstracts written by Pakistani researchers at masters’ level. The study being qualitative in nature conducts textual analysis to explore the rhetorical and linguistic choices used by Pakistani researchers .The study uses two approaches: genre analysis and analysis of thematic progression. The first approach in this study is genre analysis that is Swales (2009) framework for abstract. Swales (2009) framework offers five patterns for the structural components for writing abstracts. The second approach of this study follows the tradition of Functional Sentence Perspective with a focus on Danes (1974) model of thematic progression. Danes (1974) model of thematic progression provides principles of organizing information in text. This approach offers four pattern of thematic progression in the text. The data for the present study is forty abstract obtained from two universities in the region of Rawalpindi. The textual analysis highlights the peculiar structural and linguistic choices Pakistani researcher employ in writing the abstracts. The result of the study shows the use of specified and unspecified structural moves. In terms of analysis of linguistic organization, distinct distribution of thematic progression patterns are revealed, indicating that the study of analysis of thesis abstract can shed light on the complex profile of thesis abstract and enhance the understanding and provide explicit description of abstracts. Furthermore, the approaches of this research, display potential for further research and pedagogic applications.
