الخطاب الوسطي في الإسلام: قراءة في تحليل مقاصده و أسبابه ما بين الماضي والحاضر

The wasaṭiyyah (Islamic moderation) concept is deep-rooted in Islam. It is a straight path, a good between two evils; it maintains balance between the two extremes of excess and deficiency, and between fanaticism and negligence. Moderation was widely practiced with the advent of Islam. It was a noteworthy aspect of people’s day to day life and conducts. The term wasaṭiyyah (moderation) emerged in the early eighties. It was initially introduced by Shiekh Yūsuf Al-Qaraḍāwī. He used it in his books and discourses, and gradually it become very prevalent. Few factors resulted in widespread use of the term, the main factor is the western systematic campaign against Islam and Muslims to distort their image and label them with terrorism and extremism. Therefore, they frequently used the term wasaṭiyyah to prove themselves against these accusations. Another factor is the current situation in most Muslim countries and their struggle with social and political injustice which turns Muslim youth to extremism and terrorism that is why Muslim scholars and reformers, through their moderate discourse, stood up and condemned fanaticism and radical ideology. All that made the term wasaṭiyyah widely used by different people from all walks of life, and each has its aims and intentions behind embracing the moderate discourse and raising the flag of wasaṭiyyah (moderation).

U-Learning ? the Design and Evaluation of Evocative Learning Based Method for Futuristic Ubiquitous Educational Learning Environment

Technology has travelled a long way from an analogue world to a digital age, where our interaction in the virtual world is leading us towards virtual reality. Ubiquitous learning can be considered as a pattern in erudition grounded on ubiquitous latest technologies usage through smart devices. Ubiquitous learning can also be explained as the learning setting aided by embedded computers, mobile and wireless networks in our day-to-day life. Aim is to provide interaction and content to learners anywhere, anytime and by any device. This technological revolution has not only taken forward the learning process but has also completely changed the mode of learning and knowledge sharing. At present, there exist other frameworks too, but they are centered towards different paradigms (restricted to mobile learning), and point of view pertaining to UL, hence requiring an innovation driven. As, existing frameworks are centered towards mobile learning environments hence there exists a need to add dimensions of permanency, accessibility, immediacy, interactivity, context awareness and adaptability. These have not been integrated together in existing research. The research will gage the level of awareness of UL and will analyze the contribution of various factors that are responsible for the rate of adoption of UL. The outcome of this research work will lead towards coming up with a framework which if applied in any academic setup will lead to the effective delivery of the futuristic ubiquitous educational learning environment.
