The purpose of doing this action research is to develop the paragraph writing skills by using portfolios. There are two main activities which enable the students to learn i.e. teaching and assessment activities. To conduct this study, the teaching activities for paragraph writing are accomplished through a process writing approach while the students' learning was assessed formatively through portfolio assessment. The study was conducted in three action research cycles which provided a knowledge and autonomy of continuously evaluating the teaching and assessment activities and their implementation in the class. The selection of research participants was done through purposive sampling with six students of grade IX. The data for portfolio development was taken from the students' activities; sample of paragraphs, self and peer assessed work samples, reflections, and feedback of teacher as well as peer. The findings of the study revealed that the use of portfolios for developing paragraph writing skills remained successful and students also became aware of new teaching and assessment strategies. Moreover, the feedback, group work, discussion, self and peer assessment found were found more fruitful in developing students paragraph writing skills. The implication from this study was that, portfolio development is a gradual process which takes considerable time and results in workload for both students and the teacher. To overcome this challenge, careful planning of teaching activities, teaching strategies, assessment activities, materials and time management was set out earlier. However, the study suggests that the portfolios are effective tools for developing students writing skills and evaluating ongoing learning of the student.

طہارت و نظافت کا اصول

اسلام زندگی بسرکرنے کے ہر پہلو کے متعلق ہدایات و احکام کا جامع تصور دیتا ہے۔ اسلام میں پاک و صاف وسائل ِ حیات کے استعمال کی ترغیب دی گئی ہے۔ اسلام میں طہارت و نظافت کے معاملے میں انتہائی مثالی تعلیمات و ہدایات بیان کی گئی ہیں۔ اسلام آلودگی و گندگی سے نفرت اور صفائی و پاکیزگی سے محبت کا جذبہ پیدا کرتا ہے۔ اصول ِ طہارت پر عمل کرنا حکم الہی ہے۔ طہارت کے اصول کی پیروی سے انسان فکری پاکیزگی حاصل کرتا ہے۔ اگر کوئی انسان اپنے نفس کو پاکیزہ رکھنا چاہتا ہے تو اسے لا محالہ طہارت کے اصول پر عمل کو اپنی اولین خصلت بنا نا ہوگا۔ طہارت کے اہتمام سے انسانی قلب و رووح میں نورانیت پیدا ہو جاتی ہے۔ فقہ اسلامی کی ہر کتاب کا آغاز کتاب "کتاب الطھارۃ "کیا جاتا ہے۔ شاہ ولی اللہ ؒ نے حجتہ اللہ البالغہ میں طہارت و نظافت کے اصول پر تفصیلی اور فکر انگیز روشنی ڈالی ہے اور اصول ِ طہارت کو اساسیاتِ اخلاق کے اولین درجے پر فائز کیا ہے۔ اصول طہارت کی پیروی انسانی فطرت کا خاصہ ہے۔

علامہ راغب اصفہانی کے مطابق طہارت کی دواقسام ہیں:

" والطَّهَارَةُ ضربان: طَهَارَةُ جسمٍ، وطَهَارَةُ نفسٍ، وحمل عليهما عامّة الآيات"[1]

طہارت کی دو قسمیں ہیں: 1۔ جسمانی و ظاہری طہارت 2۔ قلبی و باطنی طہارت قرآنی آیات میں جہاں بھی طہارت کا ذکر کیا گیا ہے، وہاں یہ دونوں قسم کی طہارت و نظافت پر عمل کرنا مراد ہوتاہے۔ امام بخاری ؒ نے صیح بخاری کا آغاز نیت کے اخلاص یعنی قلبی پاکیزگی سے کیا ہے۔ یعنی دل کی صفائی کو جسم کی صفائی پر فوقیت و برتری حاصل ہے۔

قرون اولی میں مناہج اصول فقہ اور اس کا نشو و ارتقاء

It is a matter of fact that development of principles and the legal maxims of Islamic jurisprudence is a gradual process; it took more than a century. These principles and maxims are extracted from the Holy Quran, Hadith and the judgments or sayings of companions of Holy Prophet. This article presented the various examples of principles which were produced by companions of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), so that people know the origin of this filed of knowledge.

Mathematical Study for Stagnation Point Flows of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids

Non-Newtonian °uids feature in an extensive range of industrial and technological applica- tions including polymer processing, biotechnology, lubrication of aerospace and automotive vehicles and Nuclear thermo-hydraulics. Moreover, oblique stagnation point °ows have at- tracted some attention in recent years as they generalize the models used by engineers to include all possible angle of impingement of industrial °ows on solid surfaces. Motivated by simulating non-Newtonian multi-physical transport phenomena, the present thesis is devoted to the mathematical modeling, computation and subsequent physical analysis for non-orthogonal stagnation °ow of various type of °uid models namely Casson °uid model, Je®rey °uid model and Oldroyd-B °uid model which is a generalization of the upper con- vected Maxwell model. The governing equations for mass, linear momentum, heat (en- ergy) and concentration are modeled and then transformed by using applicable similarity conversions. The emerging strongly coupled nonlinear non-dimensional boundary value problems are solved with robust well-tested Runge-Kutta Fehlberg numerical quadrature and a shooting technique with tolerance level of 10¡5 and Keller box method, validation with Adomian decomposition method is also included. Comparison with the previous ex- isting published literature is also made and a very good agreement between the results is observed for limiting case. An extensive parametric study has been conducted to evaluate heat, momentum and concentration characteristics for the aforementioned °uid models. Mathematical modeling of these non-Newtonian models is presented with various physical e®ects such as mixed convection, thermal radiation, MHD, homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions and incorporation of nano°uids and micro-organisms. Results for physical quan- tities such as local skin friction, local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are depicted through graphs and tabular form. The obtained graphical results are discussed physically in a lucid manner. The result provides interesting insights into certain nuclear reactor x transport phenomena and furthermore a benchmark for more general CFD simulations. The present work retain signi¯cant validity in actual coating °ows and generalizes the conventional orthogonal case to the industrially relevant scenario of oblique °ow.
