1۔ قدرتی وسائل و ذرائع اللہ تعالیٰ کی عطا کردہ وہ نعمتیں ہیں جن سے نسل ِانسانیآسائش و سہولت حاصل کرتی ہے۔ زمین، دھاتوں و غیر دھاتوں کے خزانے، سمندر، دریا، وسیع و عریض فضائیں، آبی وسائل، معدنیات، نباتات، حیوانات، وادیاں اور بلند و بالا پہاڑ وغیرہ قدرتی وسائل کی اہم مثالیں ہیں۔
2۔ انسان کی ضروریات و حاجات کے پیش نظر دنیا کی سارے قدرتی وسائل و ذرائع کو اس کے زیر تسلط کر دیا گیا ہے۔ ان قدرتی اشیا میں جاندار بھی ہیں اور بے جان بھی۔ ایک جرثومہ سے لے کر سورج جیسے فلکی اجسام سبھی قدرتی اشیا انسان کی خدمت کے لیے تخلیق کیے گئے ہیں۔
3۔ زمین پر قابل تجدید ذرائع نسبتاً زیادہ مقدار میں پائے جاتے ہیں۔ قا بل تجدید توانائی کا حصول ناقابل تجدید ذرائع کی نسبت زیادہ مستحکم، دیر پا، سستا اور ماحول دوست ہوتا ہے۔ ہائیڈرو پاور، ونڈ پاور، ٹائڈل پاور، سولر پاور قابل تجدید توانائی کی عام مثالیں ہیں۔ ترقی یافتہ ممالک اپنی ٹیکنالوجی قابل تجدید توانائی پر منتقل کر رہے ہیں تاکہ ماحولیاتی آلودگی سے بچا جاسکے۔
4۔ انسان زمین پر اللہ تعالیٰ کا خلیفہ ہےلہٰذا زمین اور اس پر پائے جانے والے مختلف قدرتی وسائل کے تحفظ کی ذمہ داری بھی انسان پر عائد ہوتی ہے۔ 1947ء میں پاکستان کے گرین بیلٹ کا رقبہ 30 فیصد لگ بھگ تھا جو سکڑ تے ہوئے 5 فیصد تک محدود ہوچکا ہے۔
5۔ 1951ءمیں پاکستان میں ہر فرد کو 5300 کیوبک میٹر پانی میسر تھا، جو اس وقت 1000کیوبک میٹر فی کس تک محدود ہو چکا ہے۔ ایک اندازے کے مطابق2025ء تک پاکستان شدید آبی بحران کا شکار ہوسکتا ہے۔ اس لئے پانی کی ایک ایک بوندکا تحفظ کرنا ہر فرد...
Women employment is a practical issue of the modern age. It is adopted by almost all the nations and countries of the world. In the western countries rights of women including employment, trade, property, education etc were recognized after the efforts ofWomen Liberation Movement. However, in Islam these were declared their basic rights since the first day. A western woman is bound to earn her livelihood as it is not the duty ofa western man to provide her basic needs. However, in Islam a woman is legally protected for the provision of all her basic needs and it is the duty of her father, brother, husband and son to provide these to her. Islam permits a woman to do a job or carry out trade activities and earn money subject to some conditions. These may be carried out by the permission of her husband, father, etc. Besides employment, a woman should perform her obligations at her home and family, which is her basic duty. She must be careful about her husband and children rights. She must observe Hijab and abstain from mixing with non-mehram men and should follow other social teachings of Islam. Wealth earned by her is considered her property and she can spend it any way at her discretion. Study of Islamic History revealed that many of the wives of the prophet (Sallalla ho alaihe wassalam) and Sahabiyat (RA) carried out business activities and performed other jobs and thus earned money. They spent it to assist the Prophet's noble cause and to assist their husbands and to care their children. These activities were considered authorized and endorsed by the prophet (Sallalla ho alaihe wassalam)
Previous literature suggests that some predictions of the capital structure theory are portable across countries. But still there are persistent discrepancies and crossectional variations regarding choice of debt. Therefore not only firm specific, but country specific factors are also influencing firms’ choice of debt. The basic purpose of this dissertation is to investigate exactly which predictions of the theory are portable across and how debt choice is influenced by institutional features in developed, emerging and developing economies. This particular study analyzes and compares the determinants of debt ratios using firm specific data from 2006 to 2016 for a sample comprised of 9536 non financial firms from 27 countries. Our sample of countries includes 10 each from developed and emerging and 07 from developing economic block. Panel data models have been used to test the impact of 09 firm specific attributes on debt ratios in indi vidual countries. Comparison of results suggest that profitability and size of firm are two widely validated firm specific determinants of long term debt ratios across all countries irrespective of economic blocks they belong. Similarly assets struc ture and liquidity are consistent and most validated firms’ specific determinants of short term debt across all countries. Negative slopes of profitability, asset struc ture and liquidity are in line with pecking order hypothesis, while positive slope of size is in accordance with trade-off theory. Apart from profitability, size, asset structure and liquidity rest of regressors have different impact on leverage ratios in different countries. Thus we say that it is difficult to reconcile all firm specific factors under a single theoretical frame work. However theoretical predictions of pecking order theory are widely validated. We also examine the impact of 06, country specific attributes on average long term debt ratios in each economic block using panel data models. Regression outputs show that countries characteristics differently influence average long term debt ratios in the three economic blocks. Bond market development in advanced countries is the only positive significant factor that affects average long term debt in developed countries. Results of emerging block show that both legal integrity and bond market development significantly influence firm’s choice to employ debt. In contrast to emerging countries, our results suggest that improvement in legal enforcement and integrity actually encourages firms in the developing countries to borrow more in long run.
