جناب سیماب ؔاکبر آبادی
افسوس ہے کہ ہندوستان کے نامور شاعر جناب سیماب اکبر آبادی نے جو کچھ دنوں سے فالج میں مبتلا تھے، ۳۱؍ جنوری کو کراچی میں انتقال کیا، وہ داغ کی یادگار صاحبِ طرز اور موجودہ دور کے اساتذہ میں تھے۔
ان کے شاگردوں کا دائرہ بہت وسیع اور ان کا ایک خاص حلقہ تھا، انہوں نے اپنے رسالہ شاعر آگرہ کے ذریعہ اردو ادب و شاعری کی بڑی خدمت انجام دی، اور ہندوستان کے ان حصوں میں بھی جہاں شاعری کا چرچا کم تھا اس کا مذاق پیدا کردیا، اس لیے ان کی موت تنہا ایک شاعر کی نہیں، بلکہ ایک محسنِ ادب اور خدمت گذار اردو کی موت ہے، اﷲ تعالیٰ انکو اپنی رحمت و مغفرت کی داد و تحسین سے نوازے۔
(شاہ معین الدین ندوی، فروری ۱۹۵۱ء)
Abstract: Prophets and Messengers have the holiest status amongst Allah’s creation. They are the caliph of Allah in the world. Allah’s characteristics which can be present in a human after Him are present in Prophets and Messengers. That’s why Umma believes in their innocence. The purpose of their prophecy is guidance and breeding of the humanity. One of the most effective tool for breeding is that the breeder must possess the qualities which bring people closer to him. For this reason، Prophets/Messengers should be free and away from all hateful and bad habits. Some hadiths from the Hadith books are seen which appear inappropriate and against prophets grace and honor. That’s why some people have rejected those hadiths for being against prophets’ honor. In this article، we will discuss the hadith present in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim which appear against the honor of the prophets.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how different Islamic schools of thought interpret and derive
basic principles in Islamic jurisprudence. It is believed that the Muslims set the principles of Islamic
jurisprudence soon after the demise of the Prophet (s.a.w.w) of Islam. This branch of knowledge is
actually a superb fusion of reasoning and imitation. It is the study of the arguments through which Islamic
Sharia is interpreted and Islamic legislation is achieved. Most often, the debates involve doctrinal
arguments, and all the existing Islamic schools of thought agree on the basic principles through which
certain laws are derived from those debates.
All the Islamic schools of thought agree that Qur’an is the final authority, and it is the Qur’an that provides
the initial argument whenever some issue arises. Thus the Qur’an is the first and foremost source to
provide an answer to any issue. However, the Hambli scholars ascribe authority to the Qura’an and the
Sunnah, without making a clear distinction in order or rank between the two.
The Sunnah is the second source for deriving doctrinal principles. All Islamic schools of thought agree
that the Sunnah is an important and basic source for deriving the Sharia principles. The Sharia can be
divided into two kinds: the first deals with the steady and gradual reporting which, according to every
school of thought, adds to argumentative knowledge, and hence stands for authority in Islamic
jurisprudence. The second kind involves personal reporting which depends on personal character for
determining its truth-value. However, every school of thought takes it as authority once its truth-value is
verified. For Hanfi school of thought, certain other conditions besides personal character are required in
order to accept the personal reporting.
The third most important source for deriving principles in Islamic jurisprudence is the community
consensus. Every school of thought accepts the authority of the general consensus. Although most of the
schools of thought agree on the authority of absolute consensus, the Malkis also take community
consensus as an authority, i.e., if the community in Madina arrive at a consensus on some issue, it would
be accepted as the authority. On the other hand, according to the Ja’fri school of thought, every consensus
has attained authority with a ma’soom’s opinion in its favor.
For the majority Ummah, reasoning is also regarded as authority for the derivation of the Sharia
principles. According to Imam Ibne Hazam, logical reasoning is possible, but it is not recognized by the
Sharia. On the other hand, the Ja’fri school of thought accepts the authority of both the mansoosul-illat
reasoning and the awaliyat reasoning.
As for the authority of istashab, all the Muslim states accept and set it as a precedence to implement the
state laws. The Hanfis believe that only an accepted right can be explored and verified through istashab,
and not a new one. All these are the basic principles that serve as authority in the Islamic jurisprudence.
Every Islamic school of thought employs them for the interpretation and implementation of the Sharia.
Assessment is an integral part of the education system everywhere in the world whereas education in
Pakistan is provincial subject according to the constitution. There are certain organizations responsible
for the assessment of the student's achievement like Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education
(BISE) and National testing Service in Pakistan (NTS).
The comparative study of these organizations was carried out keeping in view the different objectives
as:
a.) To analyze the evaluation system of Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education and National
Testing Service with reference to content validity.
b.) To evaluate the Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education and National Testing Service with
reference to construct validity.
c.) To determine the relevance with reference to chronology and psychological considerations.
d.) To analyze the subjective type of evaluation.
e.) To analyze the objective type of evaluation.
f.) To evaluate the efficiency in the area of control and conduct.
g.) To analyze the system of the practical examination.
h.) To explore the area feedback and research.
Two questionnaires were prepared using the techniques of comparative assessment and both the
systems were assessed through the respondents with same criterion applied at the same time. The
sample of 500 students was randomly selected with 100 teachers from BISE Rawalpindi. All the
students who appeared in NTS and Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Examination at the
F-Sc level constituted the population of the study with teachers of the respective area. The findings gave
a clear insight about the efficiency and the areas of improvements in the systems.
NTS was responded as more reliable system as compare to Board of Intermediate and Secondary
Education with considerable improvements necessary for the future.
