ماں کی شان
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرنا ہے وہ ہے:’’ماں کی شان ‘‘
صدرِ ذی وقار!
ماں کا نام جب زبان پر آتا ہے تو جسم کالواں لواں سراپا ادب واحترام بن جاتا ہے۔ دل میں ماں کی محبت کی شمع روشن ہو جاتی ہے، تمام بدن عجز وانکساری کے جذبات سے معمور ہو جاتا ہے، روح انسانی طراوت اور تازگی محسوس کرتی ہے اور زندگی کی گاڑی شاہرا ہ حسن و جمال پر رواں دواں ہو جاتی ہے۔
صدرِ محترم!
ماں کیا ہے، ماں ایک گلشنِ حیات کا تر و تازہ گل سر سبز ہے جس پرکبھی پژمردگی نہیں چھاتی ، ماں ایک ایسا بار آور شجر سایہ دار ہے جو کبھی خزاں آشنا نہیں ہوتا، ماں ایک ایسی شمع مستنیر ہے جس کا روح پروانوں کی طرح طواف تو کرتی ہے لیکن جل کر راکھ نہیں ہوتی۔
محترم صدر!
ماں ایک صنف نازک ہے، جو ایک وقت میں اپنے باپ کی گود میں ہوتی ہے، جس پر ایک وقت ایسا بھی آتا ہے کہ بھائی اس کے سر پر دستِ شفقت رکھتا ہے، زندگی کے حسین وجمیل لمحات وہ بیوی بن کر بھی گزارتی ہے۔ لیکن وہ ساعتیں جو اسے مناصب ِرفیعہ پرمتمکن کرنے کا باعث بنتی ہیں وہ صرف اسے ماں بن کر ہی حاصل ہوتی ہیں۔
معزز سامعین!
قرآن و حدیث عظمت ِماں کے شاہد ہیں ، تمام رشتے مقدس ہوتے ہیں۔ والد کا رشتہ عظیم ہوتا ہے، یہ گھر کا سربراہ ہوتا ہے، سارے گھر کی ذمہ داری اس پر ہوتی ہے، بچوں کی تربیت کا مرحلہ ہو، خاندانی امور اپنانے کی بات ہو، باہمی لین دین ہو، عزیز و...
The question of moral rectitude and upbringing of youth in the current social arena is the contemporary discovery attributed to social and family norms that also undergo change due to social and economic reasons. Consequently, deferring levels of piety become more or less acceptable according to an individual’s surroundings and age. The study was done to determine the association between religiosity and behaviors likely to improve the moral, social and psychological habits of young Muslims. The discussion of the article contextualizes the effects of observing practices of Islam on a larger scale. A sample study of this research can be used as evidence to counter the contemporary environment which inevitably generates contradictions for young people. The contradictions result in uncertainty and materialistic atmosphere which does not cater to their spiritual needs and the requirements to develop as the youth of Ummah. Yet, we cannot stop or avoid the negative channels and their effects prevailing on the internet. We can; however, extend the positive spiritual energy in youth that is only possible through careful observance of religious practices comprising regular prayers, fasting, charity and pilgrimage (Hajj). The current apathy of our youth towards the religious injunctions may be attributed to social and family norms that are in some cases relative to the economic conditions and social backup. This will evaluate and assess the way and means of effective inlaying of moral fields where our young people can improve their moral aptitude and rectitude. The impasse of current moral turpitude can be shattered with the bounding relation of human activity and Islamic ritual.
Policy makers ,especially in countries that lags in broadband Internet penetration, are in search for policies to increase the broadband penetration and reduce the digital divide. While there may exist various reasons responsible for the low broadband penetration, little empirical has been done so far to test these possible reasons. In OECD countries, there exists significant variations in the rate of broadband Internet speeds and broadband Internet penetration. While broadband penetration in OECD countries continue to grow, the rate of broadband penetration itself is particularly important for various countries. A general debate over this issue continues and various arguments being discussed against the status of broadband Internet adoption, how critical is the intervention to increase broadband adoption, and the effectiveness of these interventions. In order to become competitive and increase economic growth, a critical barrier for a nation is to develop Internet infrastructure especially broadband. In search of a significant case that could be used to assess the possible factors that contributes to broadband Internet adoption at national level, we find OECD countries important due their comparative advanced levels of broadband Internet deployment and wide variations in the levels of broadband penetration. The purpose of this dissertation is to identify and examine various factors and their significance in broadband uptake in OECD countries, and discuss the role of broadband Internet in the national competitiveness and economic growth. The dissertation also assesses the effectiveness of governmental interventions, on both supply and demand sides, to increase broadband uptake and come up with some recommendations for government role in the process of broadband uptake. This dissertation uses quantitative method approach and applies two research models to assess the significance of various broadband-related environmental factors and governmental interventions. viii A modified Porter’s Diamond model and a conceptual model, based on King et al., (1994) work, were constructed and used. The diamond model used correlation analysis and trend analysis. The conceptual model used panel and OLS regression analysis. Both models assessed significance of various factors, divided into groups, for the broadband adoption at the national level. A critical analysis of previous studies is provided to extend the scope of the role of government in broadband adoption and impact of various factors responsible for broadband adoption at national level. The quantitative analysis of this dissertation provides evidence that various factors affect the availability of broadband Internet. These factors also include governmental intervention factors from both supply and demand side. The analysis of both model also affirms the criticality of household computer penetration, number of Internet users and non-users, firms’ e-commerce turnover, and number of people having tertiary education, electronic government services, and local loop unbundling (LLU) policies in promoting broadband adoption at national level.
