The thesis hypothesizes that communicative competence is situational and relative because it is theme as well as age reliant. The potential of a theme of communication for inducing communicative involvement is different for different age-groups. Communication is a reciprocal process and the communicative gusto of a communicative setting depends on whether or not its theme is somewhere within the imaginative and psycho-social frontiers of the participants. Such a potential of a theme of communication for ignition / inducement communication needs investigation. The approach and the subsequent selection of the reading texts of the Intermediate Level presently used as language teaching material in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, Pakistan do not meet the requirement. The themes of many of these texts are too thick, erudite and off -the- wall for the teenagers to make their discourse. They tend more towards the discourse of the teachers i.e. the discourse of the aged and elderly than the discourse of the students (teenage level). As an alternative approach, the researcher has put to test another theme – Recollections – encompassing and embodying the spirit of the discourse advocated by the research's hypothesis. The analyses of the data obtained via three questionnaires confirm that English language classroom in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa is a site of two conflicting discourses: the discourse of teenagism and the discourse of English perceptual assumptions maintained through the selection of foreign reading texts. As the selection of the reading texts is made by teachers, it is, to an extent, the linguistic realization of their social interests. The pro-teacher nature of the reading texts creates problems of selfexpression and comprehension for the students – it dampens their communicative urge.

۱-ایمانیات اور عقائد کی پختگی کے بیان میں استفہامی اسلوب

۱-ایمانیات اور عقائد کی پختگی کے بیان میں استفہامی اسلوب

 نوع انسانی کی دنیوی اور اخروی نجات کا دارومدار توحید کے اثبات اور کفروشرک کی مکمل نفی پر ہے اللہ تعالیٰ اپنی ذاتی و صفات میں کامل و اکمل ہے"اللہ پر ایمان،اسکے رسولوں پر ایمان،اسکے فرشتوں پر ایمان، آخرت پر ایمان،تقدیر پر ایمان اور اسکی کتابوں پر ایمان" یہ سب ایمانیات کے ارکان ہیں ان میں سے کسی ایک کا منکر بھی اسلام کے دائرہ سے خارج ہے۔

۱-سور ةالمائدہ میں ارشادِ باری تعالیٰ ہے:

"وَإِذْ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يٰعِيسَى ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنتَ قُلتَ لِلنَّاسِ ٱتَّخِذُونِى وَأُمِّىَ إِلَـٰهَيْنِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِحَقٍّ إِن كُنتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِى نَفْسِى وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ مَا فِى نَفْسِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلاَّمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ"۔ [[1]]

"اور جب کہے گا اللہ اے عیسیٰ ابن مریم کیا تو نے کہا لوگوں کو کہ ٹھہرا لو مجھ کو اور میری ماں کو دو معبود سوائے اللہ کے کہا تو پاک ہے مجھ کو لائق نہیں کہ کہوں ایسی بات جس کا مجھے حق نہیں اگر میں نے یہ کہا ہوگا تو تجھے ضرور معلوم ہوگا تو جانتا ہے جو میرے دل میں ہے اور میں نہیں جانتا جو تیرے جی میں ہے بیشک تو چھپی باتوں کا جاننے والا ہے"۔

اس آیت میں اللہ تبارک وتعالیٰ قیامت کے دن "کفار،نصاری" کو سنانے کے لیے "حضرت عیسیٰ علیہ السلام" سے فرمائیں گے اے عیسیٰ ابن مریم! جن لوگوں کا عقیدہ تثلیث تھا انکو کہا تھا کہ مجھکو یعنی "عیسیٰ علیہ السلام" کو اور میری ماں"حضرت مریم علیہا السلام" کو بھی علاوہ خدا معبود قرار دیدو تو...

Sufism and Personality Development

Personality development is the process of improvement in behaviors and attitudes to make an individual a unique person. Sufism brings about positive changes in the behaviors of individuals. The positive changes are brought through moral development within   inductive environment griped by building of character. Moral development guides through “Zuhud” and “Taqwa” for minimization of material luxuries, enhancement of repentance and self-purification. The purpose of moral development is achieved with an institution articulated with teacher-student (Murshid-Murid) relationships; this environment ensures the provision of guidance and scholarships for the engaged students. The engagement of students revolves around knowledge, awareness and behavior. In the dimension of knowledge students are helped with raising moral and spiritual awarenessto enhance firmness in faith and encouragement towards good deeds. In addition, behavioral (amal) dimension is covered with remembrance of Allah, optional prayers, fasting services, alms giving along with obligatory ones. All these behavioral deeds are performed with devotion for the sake of closeness “Taqarrub” to Allah. Finally, ma’rifat (Recognition) is applied to secure soundness in building of character.

Relationship Between Workforce Diversity and Organizational Outcomes: Mediating Role of Organizational Justice Qamar Abbas Student Id: 2013-Qup-F-7874 Phd In

Workforce diversity is an emerging phenomenon in almost all kinds of organizations and is globally recognized as a force for increased productivity, creative solutions to complex problems, and human development but at the same time it brings some new challenges to the conventional ways of managing organizations. Researchers and practitioners, therefore, try to develop models for managing diversity. This research aims to find gap in the existing body of knowledge and add to it by studying workforce diversity and its impact on organizational trust and commitment with the moderating role of organizational justice. To test different relevant hypotheses, data was collected from a sample of 239 individuals working in various government organizations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan) through a standardized survey. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression technique were used to make sense of the data. The findings reveal that workforce diversity has a statistically significant impact on different organizational outcomes (such as trust and employee commitment) in the presence of organizational justice. The study suggests some recommendations for managing diversity and provides directions for future research.
