Teachers' questioning is an integral part of the teaching-learning process. It is an extensively researched topic due to its heavy influence on students' learning and participation, in all disciplines. Most of the researchers have focused on identifying the relationship between teachers' questioning and students' outcomes i.e. learning. Moreover, most of the studies in the area of teacher's questioning have been undertaken in the Western world. This research has adopted some aspects of questioning techniques from the literature and implemented them in one of the government schools in Pakistan. The present practice of teaching science in most of the schools in Pakistan is mostly teacher- centered, where teachers merely transmit factual knowledge to students. The students' active participation in the class is not taken into account in the teaching and learning process. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between teacher's questioning as a teaching strategy and enhancement of students' participation in science classroom. The study was conducted in three stages; a pre-intervention stage showed the teacher's existing questioning practices in science classroom, an intervention stage which introduced a variety of questioning techniques and a post-intervention which identified the impact of the innovation on students' participation. The findings indicated that teacher's questioning does play a significant role in making the class more interactive. Further, the findings revealed that questioning, if effectively used, not only enhanced teacher-student interaction, but also improved student-student interaction. Moreover, lesson-planning, variety of strategies to ask questions and teacher's way of handling students' responses have paramount importance in implementing questioning as a teaching strategy. In addition, several facilitating factors (e.g. language used, conducive learning environment, students' innate curiosity) have been identified successful in implementing the strategy. The findings also showed that teachers' science content knowledge plays an important role in implementing questioning as an effective teaching strategy. It was also found that wait time (Rowe 1969) is an important learning variable in questioning. It increased the length of students' responses, increased the number of questions asked by students and encouraged the shy and quiet students to open up and participate more fully in the learning process. The general conclusion from the study findings strongly supported that teachers' questioning strategies enhance students' active participation, raise the level of interest in science and contribute to greater students' understanding.

مولانا محمد بن موسیٰ میاں سملکی

مولانا محمد بن موسیٰ سملکی
جوحضرات دارالعلوم دیوبند سے عموماً اورحضرت الاستاذ مولانامحمد انورشاہ الکشمیری سے خصوصاً تعلق ورابطہ رکھتے ہیں، اُن کویہ معلوم کرکے بڑاصدمہ ہوگا کہ پچھلے دنوں مولانا محمد بن موسیٰ میاں سملکی کاانتقال جوہانسبرگ (جنوبی افریقہ) میں ہوگیا، موصوف گجرات کے ایک نہایت معزز اورمتمول خاندان کے چشم وچراغ تھے، اﷲ تعالیٰ نے اس خاندان کودولت اور دین دونوں نعمتوں سے مالا مال کیاہے، چنانچہ تجارت کے سلسلہ میں یہ خاندان ایک عرصہ سے جوہانسبرگ میں مقیم ہے اوردین داری کے تقاضہ سے اس خاندان کو دارالعلوم دیوبند اوراس کے اکابر سے دیرینہ وپختہ عقیدت و ارادت مندی کا تعلق رہا ہے، اسی تعلق کا نتیجہ تھاکہ مرحوم دارالعلوم دیوبند آئے، اورچند سال رہ کر علومِ دینیہ و اسلامیہ کی تحصیل وتکمیل کی۔راقم الحروف بھی اس زمانہ میں دیوبند میں زیرِ تعلیم تھا اور مرحوم ہم درس وخواجہ تاش تھے۔ مرحوم کا مقصد صرف رسمی طور پر پڑھنا پڑھ لینا نہیں تھا بلکہ روحانی اوراخلاقی تعلیم وتربیت حاصل کرنا بھی تھا،اس لیے اوقاتِ درس کے علاوہ وہ حضرات اکابر کی خدمت میں حاضر رہتے اوراُن کافیضِ صحبت اُٹھاتے تھے۔اس سلسلہ میں اُن کو حضرت شاہ صاحب ؒ سے خاص تعلق پیدا ہوا، جس نے بڑھتے بڑھتے یہ صورت اختیار کرلی کہ گویا مرحوم حضرت الاستاذ کے خاندان کے ایک فرد ہی تھے۔ اُن کو حضرت کے ساتھ صرف عقیدت وارادت نہیں بلکہ درحقیقت عشق تھا، اور اس تعلق کی بناپر حضرت الاستاذ کے تمام تلامذۂ خصوصی کے ساتھ بھی اُن کا معاملہ اور برتاؤ بالکل برادرانہ تھا۔ قدرت نے انہیں سب کچھ دے رکھاتھا،اس لیے انھوں نے خود حضرت ؒ کی زندگی میں آپ کی اور آپ کی وفات کے بعد آپ کے متعلقین کی دل وجان سے عمربھر وہ خدمت کی کہ کسی شاگرد نے کم کسی استاد کی ایسی خدمت کی...

The most beautiful pictures in coordination of Chapters in the Holy Qur’ān. In this research I talk about the coordination in Holy Qur’ān  Chapters, so as to each Chapters contains a specific purpose that its Qur’ān ic verses want to achieve it, and we don’t see any difference or inconsistency. In order to achieve this purpose.

Sukuk: Structual Analysis for Shariah and Regulatory Implication in Islamic Financial Intermediation

In a global economy, not all economic units are following the same socio-economic regime, but a predominant majority is pursuing a capitalistic economic system, propagating a free market economy, with checks and balances and a good number of welfare state economies. The socio-economic system of Islam too espouses a market economy but with a system of rights and responsibilities from the smallest or weakest element to the largest and strongest socio-economic unit/s. The regulatory system of Islam, called the Sharia’h defines the nature and sphere of activities of this socio-economic system. Innovations in Finance create new products in an effort to provide better solutions to the market. Some time passes before the products’ total, real impact is felt and understood by the stakeholders and the economy. As innovators do attempt to beat or sideline the given regulations and make room for their own interests to be fulfilled, it becomes necessary to evaluate products for their true worth and meaning. This is made possible through application of regulatory clauses as well as evaluation of regulations, as new products often attempt to beat regulations. This is why it becomes all the more important to study together products and their regulatory issues, particularly discussing the products’ impact on all stakeholders and the socio-economic system, as in this research. This research work analyses sukuk structures as products of Islamic Finance and tests whether they are Sharia’h compatible products or just another name for a type of conventional bonds. It tests the sukuk attributes in comparison to the Sharia’h objectives of Islamic Finance, as given in the AAOIFI Sharia’ Standards. It further tests sukuk in terms of conventional structured finance. It assesses whether sukuk transfer risk from the originator to sukuk holders or not, applying the relevant securitisation clauses of the International regulations for Financial Institutions, given by Basel II regulatory report. The results of the analyses shall clarify the position of the sukuk according to the Sharia’ Standards as well as the Basel II regulations. It throws light on the possible application of sukuk by Islamic finance Institutions particularly due to the securitisation and fund generating attributes of the sukuk. The study provides important insight into the sukuk structures through the above-mentioned synthesis. While some aspects of the sukuk comply with the AAOIFI Sharia’ standards, there are others that do not. While it was expected of the sukuk as Islamic finance products, to transfer risk from originators to the sukuk holders, this was proved incorrect. This research has implications for further product development, design and usage as well as development of Sharia’ Standards and International regulations within the prerequisites of the Sharia’h requirements.
