This study set out to explore the principal's role in creating conditions for teachers to undertake leadership roles. Traditionally, school principals keep all the important tasks to themselves and do not trust teachers for their leadership capabilities. Proponents of teacher leadership highlight that teachers can enact leadership roles within and beyond their classrooms. The study argues that teachers can perform leadership roles if the supportive conditions are made available to them. Within the qualitative research paradigm, case study research method was employed as a viable research methodology. Data collection was done over a period of six weeks through in-depth interviews with the principal and selected teachers. Data was also collected through observation of principal's involvement in school routine activities and pattern of work in the office. Smaller group meetings were also observed. Additionally, documents were also analyzed. The findings of the study suggest that the principal's strategic leadership approach has been significant in creating administrative, academic and professional conditions within which teachers are enacting leadership roles according to their expertise. By creating multiple leadership roles in each dimension, the principal has been able to provide leadership opportunities to all the teachers. The principal's role as a monitor, a supporter and a trust builder has helped him to ensure the effective enactment of leadership roles by the teachers. The study is distinctive in its nature, because it investigated an area that is not researched enough in developing countries like Pakistan. Principals of schools can raise the morale and status of teachers by trusting them as capable individuals for performing leadership roles. The conclusions of the study suggest that school principals can accomplish diverse tasks through the involvement of teachers as credible leaders in their own capacities and expertise. The bottom line in the accomplishment of tasks and enactment of leadership roles effectively and efficiently is recognizing and trusting teachers as capable individuals.

تم بھی تھے سر_دار سر_ دار تھا میں بھی
یہ جسم رکاوٹ تھا میرے عشق میں شاید
ممکن ہے کہ بے تاب رہا ہو کبھی تو بھی
بازار میں لایا گیا یوسف کی طرح میں
خود اپنے تعاقب میں نکل آیا تھا گھر سے
چہرے کی جگہ صرف خراشیں ہیں نمایاں
اے! گردش_ دوراں یہ تغیر نہیں اچھا
خود بیچنے نکلا تھا صفی خود کو جہاں میں

 

تم دیکھ تو لیتے کہ نمودار تھا میں بھی
اور سچ ہے کہ اس جسم سے بیزار تھا میں بھی
یادوں کی اذیت میں گرفتار تھا میں بھی
کچھ دیر سہی رونق_ بازار تھا میں بھی
خود اپنی عداوت میں گرفتار تھا میں بھی
بستی میں کبھی آئنہ بردار تھا میں بھی
تو سوچ کبھی صاحب_ دستار تھا میں بھی
اور بھیڑ میں خود اپنا خریدار تھا میں بھی

مولانا ابو یوسف محمد شریف محدث کوٹلوی کی خدمات حدیث شریف

In this paper, based on the primary sources, an attempt has been made to discuss the contribution and services of Mawlānā Abū Yūsuf Muḥammad Sharīf (d. January 1951) commonly known as Faqīh-i-Ā‘ẓam and Muḥaddith-i-Koṯalwī in the field of Ḥadīth, the second most important source of Islamic Law. Mawlānā Muḥaddith-i-Koṯalwī having a deep insight in the Science of Ḥadīth has written extensively on this facet of Islamic learning. Mawlānā Abū Yūsuf Muḥammad Sharīf Muḥaddith-i-Koṯalwī through his fatāwā, articles, sermons and books done a great service for the Science of Ḥadīth. He has explained the five pillars of Islam and other rituals in the light of different āḥādīth. Being a Ḥanafī ‘ālim, Mawlānā Muḥaddith-i-Koṯalwī also proved that the Fiqh-i-Ḥanafī, the most popular fiqh among the South Asian Muslims, is in accordance with the authentic āḥādīth. He has also discussed the difference between a Ḥadīth and Sunnah.

Development of Coinage Metal Chalcogenides Thin Films by Chemical Vapour Deposition Approach

The work described here involves a detail AACVD study to observe and investigate overall morphological changes in copper, silver and nickel sulphide depositions from respective dithiocarbamate complexes on zinc oxide, bismuth and silver functionalized thin films at three different temperatures i.e. 300, 350, 400 оC. A variation in film thickness and color from black, brown, yellow and shiny dark grey was observed in copper, silver, nickel sulphide on all coated thin films. SEM images clearly indicated variations in morphology and different phases by XRD were observed with different UV analyzed nanoparticle coatings on substrate surface. In addition to above study, another scheme involving detailed investigation on effect of ligand substitution on metal sulphide depositions by synthesis and characterization of a set of N,N-disubstituted-N’-acylthiourea was done. Benzoyl and cinnamoyl chloride, and two secondary amines, diphenyl- and diisopropylamine were selectively used to derive L1, L2, L3, L4 ligands of completely characterized nickel complexes, Ni(L3)2 was found to have the lowest decomposition temperature and its thorough study revealed the most rapid mass loss occurring at 223 °C. L3 was selected for the synthesis and study of several other ML2 and ML3 complexes (M = Ni, Zn, Cd, Fe, Co, and Cu.) depending upon this detail study. The related complexes Ni(L3)2, Cu(L3)2, Co(L3)3, and Zn(L3)2 were all synthesized and found to crystalize in the cis-square planar, trans-square planar, fac-octahedral, and distorted tetrahedral geometries respectively. From AACVD, Ni(L3)2, Co(L3)3, and Zn(L3)2 at temperatures of 350 °C were found to deposit their corresponding metal sulfide but attempted depositions from tetrahydrofuran solution of Cu(L3)2 were not very successful due its low solubility. The viability of N,N-disubstituted-N’-acylthiourea ligands as sulfur sources in the AACVD of metal sulfides was demonstrated in these experiments.
