جسٹس کے ایم صمدانی
جب ستمبر 1977ء کو ذوالفقار علی بھٹو کو گرفتار کیا گیا تو پیپلز پارٹی کے وکلاء نے لاہور ہائی کورٹ میں ضمانت کی درخواست جمع کروائی مگر اس درخواست کو سننے کیلیے کوئی بھی جج تیار نہیں تھا ۔کوئی جنرل ضیاء الحق کی ناراضگی مول لینے کو تیار نہیں تھا ۔تب اس مردِ مجاید جسٹس کے ایم صمدانی نے اس کیس کی سماعت کی اور بھٹو کی احمد رضا قصوری کے قتل کے الزام میں گرفتاری پر ضمانت منظور کر لی اور یہ بات جنرل ضیاء الحق کو بہت بری لگی کیونکہ ضیاء الحق کے دبائو کے باوجود انہوں نے ضمانت دے دی اور بھٹو کو آزاد کر دیا مگر تین دن کے بعد فوج نے بھٹو کو لاڑکانہ سے گرفتار کر لیا ۔جسٹس کے ایم صمدانی لاہو ر ہائی کورٹ کے سینئر ترین جج تھے اور وہ چیف جسٹ بننے والے تھے مگر ضیاء الحق نے ان کو عدالت سے نکال کر وفاقی لاء سیکرٹرری بنا دیا اور مولوی مشتاق کولاہور ہائی کورٹ کا چیف جسٹس بنا دیا ۔
اسی دن جنرل ضیاء الحق نے وفاقی سیکٹریوں کا اجلاس بلوایا جس میں جسٹس صمدانی بھی لاء سیکرٹری کے طور اس اجلاس میں موجود تھے ۔جنرل ضیاء الحق ڈکٹیٹر نے تمام سیکرٹریوں کو دبائو میں لانے کے لیے کہا کہ آپ لوگ سدھر جائیں ورنہ میں آپ کی پینٹ اتار دوں گا سول بیوروکریٹ نے یہ سنتے ہی ایک دوسریکے چہرے دیکھنے شرو ع کر دیے اس دھمکی آمیز رویے پر جب چپ سادھ لی تب اس مردِ مجاہد جسٹس نے ضیاء الحق کو مخاطب کرتے ہو ئے کہا کہ آپ نے اپنے کتنے جنرلز کی پینٹیں اتاریں ہم خود بخود اپنی پتلونیں اتار دیں گے جسٹس صمدانی کے ایسے الفاظوں نے...
Pashtun Ulama have always been in the service of Islam. The origin of Pashtun people in Pakistan is the province of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa formerly known is North West Frontier Province (NWFP). Pashtun Ulama have served Islam on different fronts; some have done Jihad against the non-Muslims, some of them have offered their services in the field of Islamic education, ie, teaching in Madrassas, while some have served Islam via their writing commentary of Qur’ān, explanation of Ḥadīth and juristic problems. This article discusses the worthy contributions of one of the great commentators of Qur’ān Shaykh Ḥāfiẓ Muḥammad Idrīs, who belonged to Mardan in the Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, He lived in the 19th century. The article encompasses a detailed biography of the writer and his worthy contribution in serving Qur’ān, Islam and Muslims focusing on his commentary on Qur’ān in Pashto language named as “Kashshāf Al Qur’ān”. The method used for the research is descriptive and qualitative. The review literature showed that such an esteemed and vigorous scientist of different sciences of Qur’ān and his valuable contributions are out of the reach of scholars and libraries that may lead to an irreparable loss of the Islamic legacy. The study came up with the outcomes of his efforts in the field exegesis of Qur’ān, and the way and pattern he followed in interpreting different meanings of the revealed literature. The study would help out Islamic scholars and will enrich the domain of the Qur’ān’s research with new thoughts and viewpoints
Organizational factors such as lack of leader openness to voice, lack of open communication opportunity and defensive norms of organizational culture, may lead to the employees’ cognitive decision to intentionally engage in silence behavior. This ultimately results in low levels of organizational commitment. Yet, less consideration has been given to empirically explore these mechanisms while providing theoretical underpinnings. Hence, this study applied the theoretical lens of expectancy theory to understand how these organizational factors influence employee’s conscious decision to intentionally engage in silence behavior, which in turn impacts organizational commitment, in the new empirical context of banking sector of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Moreover, this study used mixed method, sequential explanatory design in which first quantitative part of the study aimed at investigating the mediating role of employee silence between organizational factors and organizational commitment, whereas second qualitative part aimed at explaining the reasons behind the significant and insignificant findings of the study and to re-conceptualize expectancy theory based employee silence model. During the first quantitative phase, probability sampling (two step stratified random sampling) was used to get sample of 1243 bankers in 258 branches of 8 commercial banks from 12 districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. The Questionnaire was used for data collection and reliability / validity of the instruments were established through Cronbach alpha and confirmatory factor analysis respectively. The regression analysis, Sobel’s test and structural equation modeling were used for mediation analyses. Furthermore, in the qualitative phase, semi structured interview was conducted while incorporating thematic coding and causal networking techniques. The results revealed that all the hypotheses regarding the direct relation between organizational factors, employee silence and organizational commitment were accepted, except one hypothesis. Moreover, the hypothesized mediated models regarding the intervening role of employee silence between organizational factors and organizational commitment were partially supported, thus extending theory to new empirical context. Additionally, the second qualitative phase provides immense theoretical contribution, by providing explanation for significant and insignificant findings of the study, and presents expectancy theory based employee silence models for the banking sector of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Thus, through triangulation of data, the findings of this study add to the existing body of knowledge and provides valuable insights for bank management, policy makers and HR managers in identifying the areas that needs their attention. Thus, all these factors make this research work significant and, also timely. The limitations, future research avenues, and implications are also discussed.
