In the current literature, the role of the head teacher in teachers' professional development has became a foremost concern as compared to the past where head teachers were considered as Fullan says, ;gatekeepers' and administrators of policy. Mostly, professional development was hijacked by external agencies such as educational institutions, donors and other initiators without acknowledging head teachers' role in the initiation. The current literature says that the head teacher plays a key role in teachers' professional development in the school but the question still remains in my mind: is it so in reality? Keeping the question in view, this study was carried out to explore the nature of head teachers' involvement in teachers' professional development. The study was conducted in a government and private system of education in Karachi Pakistan. A qualitative paradigm was followed with a sample of thirteen ADISM (Advance Diploma in School Management) graduate head teachers from the government and the private systems. In this study a small-scale survey for baseline information and follow-up interviews were conducted to collect adequate data. The findings of the study show that almost all the research participants were involved in teachers' professional development in some way. However, there is a difference in their nature of involvement in professional development activities. In the private school the head teachers are providing professional support to the teachers through scheduled [formal] and unscheduled [informal] activities, whereas, in the government system the head teachers are providing professional support to the teachers through informal activities. Further, the study found out some similar issues in both systems The findings show that the head teachers in government system do not have autonomy to go beyond what is stipulated in the policy. They cannot institutionalize any professional development activity without the permission of a higher authority in the system Thus I have recommended for there to be a change in the government policy to empower head teachers to take initiatives to address the needs of the school.

66. Al-Tahreem/The Prohibition

I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah

The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

66:01
a. O The Prophet!
b. Why should you prohibit for yourself that Allah has allowed to you just to please your wives?
c. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Merciful.

66:02
a. Allah has already prescribed a way regarding the absolution of your oaths.
b. And Allah is your Protector, and
c. HE is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.

66:03
a. And when The Prophet confided a matter to one of his wives, then she disclosed it to another and Allah made it known to him – The Prophet.
b. He made some of it known to her and passed over some of it.
c. So when he told her of it, she asked:
d. ‘Who told you of this?’
e. He responded:
f. ‘The All-Knowing, the All-Wise told me.’

66:04
a. If both of you would repent to Allah it will be good for you as your hearts are inclined towards it.
b. But if you both would support each other against him – The Prophet - then it is Allah WHO is his Protector, and so are Gabriel and the righteous among the believers, and also the angels, are his supporters.

66:05
a. O Wives of The Prophet!
b. It may well be that if he were to divorce you all, then his Rabb - The Lord would give him wives in your place - better than you: submitting, believing, dutiful, repentant, worshiping, devout - previously married as well as virgins.

a. O The Faithful!

Relationship of Value-Added Measures, Accounting Measures and Cash Flow Measures With Shareholders? Wealth: An Empirical Evidence of Psx Listed Non-Financial Firms

Measuring performance is an important part of monitoring the state of affairs and progress of an organization. It comprises of measuring the actual performance of management in an organization against the pre-set goals that were set for the given period. When it comes to performance, it is always a challenge to determine what to measure and of course, how to measure it. Traditionally, organizations use accounting based performance metrics to determine the performance of management in an organization. These accounting based performance metrics are considered vulnerable to mislead the end user. As a result, reliance on these measures has resulted into major corporate failures like Enron, World Com etc. Secondly, stock investors particularly institutions have now been focusing on intrinsic value for their investment decisions. These two changes have put accounting based measures under question and call for other measures that are more reliable. Researchers and practitioners in industry have devised new metrics that include cash flow measures and value added measures. Some researchers consider cash flow measures more effective in determining enterprise effectiveness and competitiveness in the market as it is a more dynamic examination of actual return on assets and equity. Others take value added measures as a yardstick in measuring the performance by reflecting the impact of managerial decisions in stock returns. The primary objective of this study was to find evidence whether accounting measures, cash flow measures or value added measures, as a yard stick to measure managerial performance, are the best suitable to measure performance of corporate firms working in Pakistan. The hypothesis of this study was to check the significance of all these measures in determining stock returns translated into market value added (MVA) and the relationship with MVA. These variables include accounting variables - net profit margin (NPM), return on assets (ROA), earning per share (EPS), cash flow variables ? operating cash flows (OCF), free cash flows (FCF) and value added variables ? economic value added (EVA) refined economic value added REVA), created shareholder value (CSV). This hypothesis was tested on the cross section data of 33 non-financial Pakistani companies listed on the Karachi stock exchanges for a period of 8 years (2007-08 to 2014-15). This study proved that OCF gives better results as compared to other variables in explaining variation in MVA.
