مولانا حافظ فضل الرحمن ندوی کیرانوی
علمائے ندوہ کی برادی میں یہ خبر بڑے افسوس کے ساتھ سنی جائے گی کہ ان کے سب سے پرانے رفیق اور دوست مولانا حافظ فضل رحمان صاحب ندوی امام و خطیب جامع مسجد خانقاہ مجددیہ سر ہند نے چند ماہ کی علالت کے بعد بمرض استسقاء بمقام مدرسۂ فرقانیہ لکھنؤ بتاریخ ۲؍ اکتوبر ۱۹۴۴ء بروز جمعہ ۷ بجکر ۴۳ منٹ شام کے وقت اس دنیائے فانی کو الوداع کہا، ان کی عمر غالباً ۶۵ برس کے اندر ہوگی، کیرانہ ضلع مظفر نگران کا اصلی وطن تھا، مگر بچپن سے وہ لکھنؤ آئے اور دارلعلوم ندوہ میں داخل ہوکر متوسطات تک کی تعلیم پائی اور فکر معاش سے مجبور ہوکر مدرسہ ہی میں صرف و نحو کی مدرسی کی خدمت قبول کرلی، وہ استاذنا جناب مولانا محمد فاروق صاحب چریا کوٹی مدرس اعلیٰ دارالعلوم کے محبوب شاگردوں میں تھے، صرف و نحو اور ریاضیات سے بڑی دلچسپی اور مہارت رکھتے تھے، انتظامی سلیقہ بھی اچھا تھا، جن لوگوں کو مولانا شبلی مرحوم کے زمانہ کے ندوہ اور الندوہ سے تعلق رہا ہے ان کو مکتب المعین کی بھی یاد ہوگی، مرحوم اس مکتبہ کے مہتمم اول تھے، لکھنؤ میں عربی کی مصری مطبوعات کی تجارت کا آغاز انہی نے کیا، اور اب موجودہ شبلی بک ڈپو اسی کی یادگار ہے۔
مرحوم نے عین جوانی میں انابت الی اﷲ کی توفیق پائی اور مدرسہ کی نوکری چھوڑ کر مولانا عین القضاۃ صاحب لکھنویؒ سے نقشبندی مجددی طریقہ میں بیعت کی اور انہی کے درسہ فرقانیہ میں مدرس بھی ہوگئے اور پھر انہی کے ہو رہے، انہی کے زمانہ میں حج سے بھی فراغت پائی ان کی وفات کے بعد لکھنؤ سے سر ہند جاکر خانفاہ مجددیہ کی جامع مسجد میں خطابت و امامت قبول کی آخر میں اس کا معاوضہ چھوڑ کر...
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.
Personality is a very broad and complex phenomenon which has been vastly studied in different domains from diverse perspectives and there is no single perspective where all researchers have a consensus. There are many personality related traits, attitudes and behaviors of organizational concern, but in case of personality, the models are again mainly borrowed from psychology. The major limitation of the models is that they measure the personality in bits and pieces rather than taking a holistic view. Here we need a basic or ontological dimension to take an integrated view of personality. Spirituality as per many scholars is an ontological dimension of personality. The researchers in psychology in general and in management sciences in specific are now giving attention to the subject. The individual as well as the workplace spirituality are very well researched topics now a days. The current study has focused on the exploration of spirituality as a pivotal phenomenon in assessing human personality through its psychometric capabilities. So spirituality can be a phenomenon where the personality can be gauged holistically as personality traits, attitudes and behavioral outcomes can be predicted through it. This will help the organizations to select, develop and retain appropriate employees in a more meaningful way. The theory suggested that the spirituality can be gauged from low to high with different attitudinal, behavioral and transcendental consequences. After extensive literature review of spirituality across different religions especially incorporating the eastern philosophy, which was missing part in current management science literature, a theory and a definition of spirituality was established which was further used as a basis to develop a scale. For this very purpose, in the first study a tool was developed keeping in view the definition of spirituality, and then its validity as well as the reliability were tested. Furthermore to authenticate the validity of the spiritual phenomenon and its psychometric capabilities, the instrument was tested with certain variables related to employees’ personality. In this regard the variables taken constituted an attitude that is Job Satisfaction, a behavior that is OCB and a personality disorder that is Paranoia. To test the role of WPS in nurturing the spirituality at employee level, it was taken as a moderator in the research model. In the first study, the items were collected from multiple sources and an exhaustive list was developed and then by using grounded theory approach the a list of 30 finalized items was developed. Further the instrument was pilot tested on a sample of 100 students and then it was finally tested on a sample of 430 individuals. After reliability analysis the items with unacceptable loadings were eliminated and the list was reduced to 18 items. In the second study, a sample of 600 respondents was selected from 30 cross sectoral organizations. Out of the sample 530 were useful having no missing values. To analyze the data correlation, regression, and SEM techniques were used. The results supported all the hypothesis in general and hence the findings suggested that the low vs. high spirituality have their respective implications, such as employees with high spirituality are more satisfied, high in exhibiting OCB and were less paranoid. Workplace spirituality also moderated the relation between IV and DVs. Furthermore the study has multiple contributions for literature as very fruitful implications for the practitioners while selecting, retaining employees and enhancing their performance.
