This dissertation provides the insight of quality management status of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan by addressing the issue of quality management implementation in the industry and its performance outcomes. This dissertation is meant to evaluate that whether the quality management programs, which proved very effective in improving organizational performance in the advanced countries, could be successful in the organizations belonging to developing country like Pakistan. The existing literature of quality management is mostly based on research performed in advanced countries, therefore to contribute to the body of knowledge of quality management in Pakistan this study is conducted in the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan. The organizational culture, management style, human resources and the managerial perspectives are considered critical factors in defining the success or failure of the quality management programs. Hence, it is worthwhile to appraise the effect of quality management practices in improving the quality of yarn and organizational performance in context of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan, which is characterized with a specific organizational culture, management style, human resources, and managerial perspectives. Within this research objective, the research problem was established as “What level of Quality management implementation is achieved by cotton yarn industry of Pakistan, and how much quality management is effective in improving quality of cotton yarn industry?” To address the main research problem, four research activities were planned. The first research activity was to have exhaustive hypothetical and pragmatic knowledge about the concepts, principles, practices, and the issues related to quality management implementation in organizational context. This research activity was imperative to discover quality management approaches to develop a research structure to evaluate the vilevel of implementation of quality management techniques by the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan. The second research activity was to explore the empirical interrelationship of quality management practices implemented in organizational context of the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan. The third research activity was to identify the relationship of quality management techniques with the performance measures in the organizational perspectives of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan. The fourth research activity was to evaluate the effect of implementation of quality management techniques on organizational performance and quality improvement of cotton yarn. To comply with these research activities, main research problem was re-defined into four sub-questions i. What level of adoption of quality management techniques is achieved by the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan? ii. How do quality management techniques interrelate in the work environment of the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan? iii. How does implementation of quality management techniques link with the performance measures of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan? What effect implementation of quality management techniques has on the quality of yarn in the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan? In addressing research question 1, the findings of this research show that cotton yarn industry of Pakistan has implemented quality management techniques at a moderate level, and quality management programs are receiving positive response from the industry. In addressing research question 2, the findings of this research show that in the organizational environment of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan, all the quality management techniques have significant positive correlation with each other, except the practice of changing the suppliers for their failure in maintaining the promised quality level. In addressing research question 3, the findings of this research show that implementation of quality techniques is positively linked with the organizational performance measures, except for the practice of changing the suppliers for their failure in achieving and maintaining the minimum level of quality, that has negative effect on performance measures.

21. Al-Anbiya/The Prophets

I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah

The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

21:01
The time of their reckoning draws ever closer to the people as it starts while experiencing their death,
and yet in their heedlessness of its coming, they keep turning away.

21:02
Whenever a new Message comes to them from their Rabb - The Lord,
they listen to it playfully.

21:03
Their hearts are preoccupied with trivial things.
Yet, concealing their inner thoughts, the unjust/wrongdoers say in their private conversations:
‘Is this Muhammad not a human being like you?
Will you, then, submit to his magic, with your eyes wide open?’

21:04
He - The Prophet – said:
‘My Rabb - The Lord Knows whatever you confer and conspire and, in fact, every word
spoken within the celestial realm and the terrestrial world.
For HE is the All-Listening, the All-Knowing.’

21:05
No way!
‘Instead, they allege:
The Qur’an is just a collection of his jumbled false dreams.
Perhaps he has fabricated it.
Rather he is a poet!’
If this is not the case, then let him bring us a miraculous Sign, as were the former Messengers assigned with Signs.

21:06
Not one of the habitation(s) which WE destroyed in punishment before they had believed.
So, will they, then, be willing to believe or get destroyed?

21:07
And WE have not assigned any Messenger before you except for those men on to whom WE revealed -
so just ask scholars of the Former Divine Scriptures, if you do not know.

21:08
And WE did not make for...

قاعدة الأصالة والتبعية وأثرها في المعاملات المالية المعاصرة

The Sharīʻah maxims related to originality and dependency are one of the most important maxims which have a significant role in Islamic law. Therefore, the classical jurists paid adequate attention to these maxims and applied them in various issues and cases of fiqh. This paper seeks to analyze the effect of these maxims in different commercial transactions, namely the shariah stauts about the investment and trade in shares of those companies whose mostly transactions are lawful and a few transations are unlawful, shariah status about sale and purchase of shares that contains liquid and fixed assets. This research also explains different types of contracts combined in a single transaction; discusses the effect (with special reference to facilitations and easiness) of said maxims in contracts combined in a single transaction; analyz all the traditions of prophet (ﷺ) about the combination of contracts. The article is divided into two main sections in the following way: First section contains three main Sharīʻah maxims related to originality and dependency. Second deals with the modern applications of these maxims in commercial transactions. An applied and juristic research approach has been employed for the collection and analysis of data.

Influence of Indigenous Cultures and Ripening Temperatures on Cheddar Cheese Quality

Cheddar cheese cultures were isolated and purified from indigenous sources using various microbiological techniques and characterized on basis of sugar fermentation, biochemical and enzyme activity tests, growth at various temperatures, pH and NaCl concentrations and using API identification kits. Raw milk and sour cream were found the most suitable indigenous sources for isolation and purification of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis and Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris. The later was differentiated from the former by no acid production from maltose, ribose, mannitol, arabinose, inositol, trehlose, negative arginine hydrolysis test, no growth either in 4% w/v NaCl or at 40°C and pH 9.2. Commercially available and locally isolated strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris and Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis were propagated in combination of 95:5 to prepare the mother cultures. These mother cultures were employed in standardized buffalo and cow’s milks to manufacture Cheddar cheese and ripened at 4°C and 12°C for 120 days. During ripening, cheese was evaluated for physico-chemical composition and sensory quality. Buffalo milk cheese contained significantly higher fat, protein, ash, lactose, sodium, calcium, potassium and organic acids contents; particularly lactic, citric and butyric acid contents as compared to cow. Cheddar cheese prepared from indigenous cultures had significantly lower lactose and pH and higher acidity than commercial cultures. The concentrations of all the organic acids produced by indigenous cultures were distinctly higher than commercial cultures. During ripening, lactose and pH decreased while acidity increased significantly. The concentrations of all the organic acids increased highly significantly during ripening and elevated temperature considerably accelerated the production of all organic acids except pyruvic acid. Starter cultures and ripening temperatures substantially influenced the aldehydes, ketones and alcohols, while milk composition considerably affected the alcoholic and sulphur compounds. Descriptive sensory evaluation indicated that cheese samples prepared from buffalo milk using indigenous cultures were scored significantly higher for most of the attributes. Elevated temperature perceptibly accelerated the development of odor, flavor and texture characteristics during ripening. Hence, it is concluded that indigenous starter cultures and buffalo milk produced the cheese with improved quality and elevated temperature accelerates the process of ripening.
