This qualitative case study explores the gender equality/inequality related experiences of male and female students in the context of a not-for-profit co-education school in Karachi. In particular, the study examines students' perceptions about their experiences of gender equality/inequality inside and outside classroom. Focused group discussions, semi-structured interviews, observations, drawings and discussion, and document analysis were the main sources of data generation. The study revealed that students' perceptions about themselves were guided by their experiences of gender equality or inequality at school. Their interactions with their teachers and peers appeared to help them define themselves as girls and boys. As such, the boys and girls considered themselves as the two ends of a continuum. They not only experienced gender segregation but many of them desired for such an environment in school. The study showed that both girls and boys experienced different treatment by the teachers inside and outside the classroom which determined their participation in teaching and learning and sports activities. To explore the possibilities of creating a gender equitable environment in the classrooms as well as in the schools, a collaborative action research can be carried out with students. Besides producing contextually relevant knowledge, such a study will help improve gendered practices in schools.

مولانا حکیم سید عبدالحئی

مولانا حکیم سید عبدالحیٔ صاحب

ناظم ندوۃ العلماء

            چند مہینوں سے معارف کا پہلا صفحہ علم و فن کے بزرگوں پر ماتم کے لئے مخصوص ہوگیا ہے، آج ہم دوسروں پر ماتم کرتے ہیں، کل دوسرے ہمارا ماتم کریں گے، دنیا کی یہ بزم ماتم اس فانی کائنات کے وجود کے ساتھ قائم ہے اور اسی کے ساتھ قائم رہے گی۔ یہ حوادث آباد عالم جس کو ہم تم قائم مستمر اور مسلسل جان رہے ہیں، ہر آن و ہر لمحہ اس طرح بدل رہا ہے کہ غور سے دیکھو تو معلوم ہوگا کہ جو نقشہ، جو کیفیت، جو صورت حال اس آن ہے وہ اس آن نہیں، ایک مستمر تغیر اور ایک مسلسل انقلاب جاری ہے اور پردہ دار کُلَّ یَوْمٍ ھُوَفیْ شَاَنٍ [الرحمن: ۲۹](ہر روز ایک نئے رنگ میں جلوہ گر ہے) لیکن باانیں ہمہ انقلاب و تغیر بظاہر اس کے قیام، استمرار اور تسلسل میں فرق نہیں آتا، سمندر کی لہریں ہر آن بدل رہی ہیں، مگر سمندر کی صورت میں کوئی فرق پیدا نہیں ہوتا، صورتیں مٹتی جاتی ہیں، شکلیں فنا ہوتی جاتی ہیں، مگر اس آئینہ خانہ کی آبادی اور صورت گری میں کوئی فرق نہیں آتا۔

خدا جانے یہ دنیا جلوہ گاہِ ناز ہے کس کی

کُتبِ اُصول حدیث اکیسویں صدی میں ؛ایک تعارفی جائزہ An Introductory Review of the Books written on ‘Usūl e Ḥadīth in 2ist Century

Muslims are a unique nation in the world who have shown unparalleled activism in preserving their sayings and relics. Caution was in view from day one. The simple precautionary measures taken in the early days later took the form of theology. In the beginning, the principles and rules of this knowledge did not exist in a disciplined form, although the scholars of Muḥaddithin adhered to the basic principles of this knowledge from the very beginning. However, references to these principles were to be found in the books of the pious. In the 4th Hijri, the scholars of Muhaddithin compiled the previous scattered work on the art of the principle of Ḥadith. Now these comprehensive definitions and terms are before us in a systematic and disciplined form in the books of ‘Usūl e Ḥadīth. In this short essay, the definition and necessity and importance of Hadith and ‘Usūl e Ḥadīth have been highlighted and also an introductory review of books written on ‘Usūl e Ḥadīth th and their authors and authors has been presented. Which indicates this. How strict were the rules and regulations of the Muslim Ummah for examining the authenticity and text of the Holy Hadith and how did they separate the authentic, weak and subject matter of the hadiths and write their separate books? And how hard they have worked to promote art.
