The implementation and effectiveness of inclusive education program has been under continuous debate in Pakistan. The present study was conducted in order to understand the perception of a principal with regard to successes and challenges related to Inclusive Education in the context of a private sector school in Karachi, Pakistan. A qualitative case study approach of research was used in order to generate the relevant data. Semi-structured interviews were used to explore principal's perceptions. Other data collection strategies included observations, document analysis, informal discussions and a reflective journal maintained by the researcher. The findings of the study revealed that the principal of the inclusive school considered education as a right of every child, which has lead to inclusion of children with borderline and mild disabilities. The study identified some challenges which the principal is facing in his desire to include all children in his school. These challenges are deeply linked with realities of the world, both inside and outside of school. Lack of awareness, lack of resources and inadequate facilities of professional support are some of the main challenges that hinder effective implementation of inclusive education in Model Inclusive School (pseudonym). The study also reveals some successes which are: supportive leadership, professional attitudes of all staff members, their inclination towards inclusion and the desired academic outcomes of students with special educational needs. Furthermore, the principal's own belief in inclusion and his determination allowed him to ensure inclusion in his mainstream regular school.

انداز مرا حسنِ بیاں تک نہیں پہنچا

انداز مرا حسنِ بیاں تک نہیں پہنچا
جو رنگِ سخن خوب ہو واں تک نہیں پہنچا

پہنچے ہیں بہت لوگ ستاروں سے پرے بھی
کوئی بھی مرے دردِ نہاں تک نہیں پہنچا

مفلس یہ خبر سن کے ہی بس ڈوب گیا ہے
سیلاب ابھی اُس کے مکاں تک نہیں پہنچا

اعزاز ہے یہ حضرتِ شبیرؓ کو حاصل
سر ایسے کوئی نوکِ سناں تک نہیں پہنچا

جو زخم دیے تو نے مرے دل میں نہاں ہیں
یہ ذکر کبھی میری زباں تک نہیں پہنچا

فیضان ہے مجھ پر یہ مرے گنجِ شکرؒ کا
غم کوئی مرے دل، مری جاں تک نہیں پہنچا

محسوس میں کرتا ہوں محبت میں گرانی
یہ بار ابھی بارِ گراں تک نہیں پہنچا

سمجھا نہ کسی نے بھی مرے درد کو تائبؔ
کوئی بھی مری آہ و فغاں تک نہیں پہنچا

الاباحة في الشريعة الإسلامية والقانون الوضعي

Permissibility (al-Ibāḥah) is a kind of the Islamic law, which gives option to someone to do or not to do something. If something is done by someone under this order, no punishment or reward is liable. It nullifies the delinquency. This paper defines the lexical and technical meanings of permissibility as defined by different Islamic scholars like alShāṭibī, al-Āmidī and al-Ghazālī and the conventional law that how it removes responsibility of delinquency of an act and makes it permissible for person, who does it. Its different kinds and causes for permissibility have been discussed. It has general and particular kinds. It has also been differentiated from insanity: that when a person commits an offense under defective understanding such as childhood, mental illness and in sleeping. These conditions remove someone’s responsibility and one cannot be prosecuted by both the laws. Different rules regarding mistake and ignorance in the case of al-Ibāḥah (permissibility) has been discussed in detail. There are limitations of al-Ibāḥah and if the limits of alIbāḥah are transgressed, then, the act converts into criminality. The author, in this paper, presents a comparative study of the Islamic Law and Conventional Law on the issue of al-Ibāḥah.

O N the B Oundedness and M Easure of N on - Compactness for M Aximal and P Otential O Perators

The essential norm of maximal and potential operators defined on homogeneous groups is estimated in terms of weights. The same problem is discussed for par- tial sums of Fourier series, Poisson integrals and Sobolev embeddings. In some cases we conclude that there is no a weight pair (v, w) for which the given operator is compact from L pw to L qv . It is proved that the measure of non-compactness of a bounded linear operator from a Banach space into a weighted Lebesgue space with variable parameter is equal to the distance between this operator and the class of finite rank operators. The p(x) essential norm of the Hilbert transform acting from L w p(x) to L v is estimated from below. As a corollary we have that there is no a weight pair (v, w) and a function p from the class of log-H ̈older continuity such that the Hilbert transform is compact p(x) from L w p(x) to L v . Necessary and sufficient conditions on a weight pair (v, w) governing the bound- edness of generalized fractional maximal functions and potentials on the half-space q(x) from L pw (R n ) to L v (R n+1 + ) are derived. As a corollary, we have criteria for the trace inequality for these operators in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces.
