The purpose of this study was to explore and understand a PDT's perceived and performed roles in promoting teachers' professional development. The proponents of teachers' professional development believe that the presence of professional support has implications on teachers' classroom practices. The study was conducted in a lower-middle school with a PDT as a research participant. The study was carried out using a case study method. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, document analysis, and informal conversations with the research participant. The data were analyzed using ongoing and summative analysis procedures. The findings of the study reveal that the PDT's presence in the school has been viable for teachers for enhancing their professional development. The findings indicate that teachers' professional development is embedded in the in-depth understanding of the teacher educator's insights regarding professional development. The PDT's perceptions about his roles indicate that creating a conducive environment is crucial, which provides a sound base for teachers' professional development. The PDT's collegial relationship and trust motivate teachers to take an active part in professional development activities. The study further indicates that the PDT's overarching role as a facilitator proved to be the driving force in developing teachers' potential. He facilitated the teachers by enriching the curriculum, aligning the student assessment with the modern teaching strategies, improving classroom teaching practices as a co-teacher, acting as an exemplary teacher and as a critical friend, and by observing and giving constructive feedback. The study also looks at the challenges faced by the PDT in executing his roles for enhancing teachers' professional development. It also makes some recommendations and offers implications for various stakeholders to bring improvement in the work of PDT. The study also suggests some areas for future research on the topic.

چمن میں سبزہ و گل خطہِ رسولؐ سے ہے


چمن میں سبزہ و گُل خطۂ رسولؐ سے ہے
زمیں فلک سے حسیں روضۂ رسولؐ سے ہے

خدا کے اور بھی گھر ہیں زمین پر لیکن
حرم کی شان جدا سجدۂ رسولؐ سے ہے

صدائے کُن فیکوں سے نظامِ ہستی تک
تمام جلوہ گری ، جلوۂ رسولؐ سے ہے

کمال حسنِ عمل ؛ اتباعِ پیغمبرؐ
رُخِ حیات حسیں اُسوۂ رسولؐ سے ہے

فروغِ دین ؛ صحابہؓ کی کاوشِ پیہم
بقائے دین ؛ جگر گوشۂ رسولؐ سے ہے

پیامِ امن سے لے کر حقوقِ نسواں تک
وقارِ نوعِ بشر خطبۂ رسولؐ سے ہے

چمن کا رنگ چمن کی فضاؤں سے نکھرا
فضائے خلد حسیں کوچۂ رسولؐ سے ہے

گواہی دیتے ہیں بدر و حنین کے لشکر
نزولِ نُصرتِ رب گریۂ رسولؐ سے ہے

پیامِ آیتِ میثاقِ انبیا کیا ہے
’’نبوتوں کو شرف خاصۂ رسولؐ سے ہے‘‘

منات و لات و ہبل خاک میں ہوئے پامال
خدا کی شان عیاں رتبۂ رسولؐ سے ہے

خرامِ ناز سے عرفانؔ و آگہی کی نمو
حصولِ منزلِ حق جادۂ رسولؐ سے ہے

قسط وار خرید و فروخت کے حکم کے متعلق فقہاء کرام کی آراء: ایک علمی جائزہ

In Islamic Sharia, the usury is prohibited while the trade has been allowed. This ruling is very clear and transparent in sources of Sharia. From the emergence of Islam many means of financing have been continuing which have got new shapes and names in modern ages. Among these contracts, one is sale in installments. This type of transaction is a part of modern financing in which the object is sold on the condition of payments in installments. The price of the object remains more than the cash payment. This concept has been discussed by the jurists and they have presented their different views about the sale in installments.

Accelerated Degradation of Selected Azo Dyes by Some Microbial Strains

This study involves aerobic decolorization of three reactive azo dyes: REACTIVE ORANGE 16, REACTIVE BRILLIANT RED K2BP AND REACTIVE BLACK B by newly isolated microbial strains. After optimization of reaction conditions bacterial strain B1 gave 73%, 74% and 84% decolorization, Bacterial strain B2 gave 85%, 77% and 78% decolorization while fungal strain gave 90.5%, 94% and 90.4% decolorization of REACTIVE BLACK B, REACTIVE ORANGE 16 and REACTIVE BRILLIANT RED K2BP respectively. No cometabolic role of any organic substrate was found. Color removal rates went on decreasing by addition of heavy metals. Cobalt and Nickel showed greater inhibitions on % decoloristion than zinc copper and iron there was about 50% color reduction by adding 6mg ml -1 of all heavy metals. Hydroquinone was proved to be a good redox mediator enhancing decolorization rate but only at lower concentrations. Biodegradation analysis was monitored by UV-VIS SPECTROSCOPY, HPTLC and GC/MS. None of the formed dye metabolite was from carcinogenic, toxic banned amines.
