معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب شاہینو! آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کا موقع مل رہا ہے وہ ہے:’’سیرت النبی محمد مصطفیٰؐ‘‘
محترم صدر!
آج سے چودہ سو سال پہلے کا ئنات گھٹا ٹوپ تاریکیوں میں مستورتھی۔ ہر طرف جبر و تشدد کی ژالہ باریاں مصروف تباہی تھیں۔ درندگی وبہیمیت کی فضا میں حق پرستی و پرہیز گاری ناپید ہو چکی تھی۔ صنف نازک کی عصمت کا کوئی محافظ نہ تھا۔ ہر طرف آلام و مصائب کے بگولے محورقص تھے۔ صبح و شام غرباء فقراء کے سروں پر ظلم و تعدی کی تلوارلٹکتی رہتی تھی۔ جہاں تک نظر پڑتی کشت و خون ، درندگی و حیوانیت اور خوف و ہراس کا دور دورہ تھا۔ انسانی عقائدضعف اور اضمحلال کا شکار ہو چکے تھے گویا کفر و ضلالت کا ٹھاٹھیں مارتا ہوا طوفان تھا جس کے تند و تیز تھپیڑوںمیں انسانیت کی شکستہ نائو ہچکولے کھا رہی تھی۔ بلائے عظیم میں گرفتہ کسی نجات دہندہ کے منتظر تھے۔
آخر خالق کائنات کوسسکتی ہوئی انسانیت پر رحم آیا۔ رب کعبہ نے رشد و ہدایت کے اس آفتاب کوافق فاراں پر طلوع کیا۔ وہ آفتاب صداقت جوختم المرسلین ہے۔ جورحمت اللعالمین ہے۔ شافع المذنبین ہے۔ اسلام جس کا دین ہے۔ جس کے نور سے روشن ساری زمین ہے۔
نگاہ عشق و مستی میں وہی اوّل، وہی آخر
وہی قرآں ، وہی فرقاں، وہی یٰسیں، وہی طہٰ
معزز سامعین!
رسول عربیؐکیا آئے کائنات میں انقلاب آ گیا۔ یاس وقنوطیت سے پژمردہ چہروں پر امید کی بہارآگئی، قتل و غارت اور خوف و ہراس کی آندھیاں تھم گئیں۔صنم ہائے تراشیدہ ریزہ ریزہ ہو گئے۔ عرب وعجم کے ایوانِ ہائے عیش وطرب منہدم ہونے لگے۔ وادیٔ خزاں میں...
The Science of Human Behavior (Psychology) governs every facet of our lifespan. The scope of psychology is so vast that it touches all major disciplines of medical science, social science, cultural studies and humanities. It does not just connect with subjects ranging from mathematics and biology to sociology and philosophy, but its methods and discoveries help other disciplines as well. Psychology influences legal affairs and national policies, yet it primarily deals with the cognition of human nature and its relevance to the respective domain. The article is aimed to elaborate that the comprehension of human behaviour in the illumination of the Holy Qur’an is an essential need in every aspect of life such as; educational activities, social and political institutions, ethical reflection or societal choice and the method of preaching.
The study, “Factors Promoting Excellence in Schools” took cognizance of the pressing problem that there was widespread deterioration of education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. The stakeholders had many expectations from the secondary schools both in public (government) and private sectors. The parents also needed feedback and authentic information about the criteria of excellent schools. It was therefore considered imperative to identify factors that promoted excellence in schools on the basis of information obtained from review of global literature as well as the feedback provided by stakeholders in the form of their responses. The items included in the opinionnaires and interviews for principals, teachers, parents and students were mostly derived from the authentic sources that were studied. For the purpose of obtaining relevant information from participants items were mentioned under different categories such as school specific statements, school improvement strategies and the skills of effective principals. The population of the study included 247 principals/headmasters, 2964 teachers, 494 parents and more than 10,000 students of 10th class in total number of 247 boys’ high schools in Peshawar City including 27 schools in public (government) and 220 in private sector in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. The sample included 30 principals, 60 teachers, 600 students of 10th class and 60 parents. The primary data were collected through opinionnaires administrated to principals/headmasters, teachers and students, while closed-ended interviews were held with purposively selected parents. The results of Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Peshawar for 10th class of the sampled schools for the last 03 years (2008-10) were also made part of secondary data. The data received both quantitative and qualitative treatment. The quantitative analysis applied statistical measures to some of the aspects of the collected data. The data were analyzed with the help of tables and graphs and rendered meaningful with discussion and interpretation. The qualitative data were placed under different patterns and categories for discussion. The outcome of the study indicated that excellence was multi-dimensional phenomenon and, therefore, many factors collectively contributed to effectiveness of school. The most important factors included relevant curricula, devoted and well trained teachers, co- curricular activities, effective principals, collegiality of teachers and the needed infrastructure. The interventional role of principals also made difference in school effectiveness. They could intervene in matters of instructional supervision, efficient administration, promoting collegiality of teachers, and including them in decision-making processes. The positive school-community relationships were also instrumental in school effectiveness. The study found that excellent schools had effective classroom interaction, stakeholders’ consideration that it was better school for teaching-learning and both teachers and students were proud of the effectiveness of their schools. The recommendations of the study were a set of general and specific factors developed on the basis of review of literature and responses of subjects of different categories. They included a focus on within and out of school factors such as leadership skills of principals, qualified and devoted teachers, better school environment and infrastructure as well as effective school-home relationships. The study answered all the four research questions that were posed in the study.
