مراتب اخترکا ادبی مقام و مرتبہ
نامور ادیبوں اوردانشوروںکی نظر میں
مراتب اختر کا شمار اُن شعرا میں ہوتا ہے جنھوں نے جدید شاعری میں ایک نئے رجحان کو متعارف کروایا اور اُن کے اس فن کی تمام ناقدین قدر کرتے ہیں۔مراتب اختر کی شاعری کے رکھ رکھائو اور ڈِکشن کے حوالے سے معروف نقاد افتخارجالب لکھتے ہیں:
مراتب اختر نے جو شاعری کی ہے اس میں رکھ رکھائو، ڈِکشن کی ملائمت، نفاست اور مروّجہ شعریت نہیں ہے۔ سب کچھ اُکھڑا اُکھڑا دکھائی دیتا ہے۔ یہ خرابیاں کہ اِمکان سے نابلداندھے، اور بے مغز لوگوں کو گراں گزرتی ہیں، درحقیقت مراتب اختر کی خالص خوبیاں ہیں۔ ان خوبیوں سے مستفید وہی ہو سکتا ہے جو شعر کی منزہ صورت کو پہچان سکتا ہو۔اِمکان کے اِمکانات تک جن کی رسائی نہیں ان کے لیے مراتب اخترکی شاعری کوئی لذت اورمعنی نہیں رکھتی۔اس شاعری کے لیے کہ اِمکان کے اِمکانات پرایمان کو پہلی شرط قرار دیتی ہے، زندہ اور تواناہونے کے ساتھ ساتھ شعر کو ڈِکشن کی موجودگی اور عدم موجودگی دونوں صورتوں میں پہچاننے کی صلاحیت ہونی چاہیے۔
مراتب اختر کی شاعری درحقیقت یہ تقاضا کرتی ہے کہ آپ بھی مراتب اختر ہوں۔ آپ کے اور اس کے اِمکانات یکساں نہیں تو مماثل ضرور ہوں تاکہ آپ یہ جان سکیں کہ کتنے ہی اِمکانات ہیں:حقیقت میں تبدیل ہوتے ہوئے، نئے اِمکانات کو ضم دیتے ہوئے:رائج الوقتی سے بے نیاز، نامراد و کامگار! کیا آپ اس تقاضے پر پورے اُترتے ہیں؟ اگر نہیں، تو نہیں، کبھی بھی نہیں، مگر نہیں شاید!(۱)

The present study is aimed to examine the relation of Holy Qur’ān recitation and psychological wellbeing among the Muslim Youth. People find no time for offering prayers and reciting Holy Qur’ān because they are very busy in their daily routines and if they do so, they do it for short period of time when they are in some trouble. The objectives include firstly the exploration of the relationship of Holy Qur’ān recitation and psychological wellbeing. Second objective of the study is to explore the correlation of the Holy Qur’ān recitation with depression, anxiety and stress among young Muslims. Study sample comprises of 100 young Muslims (43 males and 57 females) falling between 17 and 25 years from Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Instruments used for data collection include psychological wellbeing scale by Kamman and Flett (1983) and DASS (depression anxiety stress scale) by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) and a demographic sheet. Results of the study showed that significant positive relationship exists between Holy Qur’ān recitation and psychological wellbeing among young Muslims and Holy Qur’ān recitation negatively relates with depression, anxiety and stress. The present study findings support that those young Muslims who had more rate of Holy Qur’ān recitation were psychologically more stable as compared to non-frequent reciters. In the light of findings of current study, it can be declared as a quintessence that Holy Qur’ān Recitation can serve as an influential element in ensuring the positive mental health of youth. Educators and Policy makers can play a crucial role in promotion of Holy Qur’ān familiarity which will make certain the psychological and mental health of youth and of the society at large.
The study is aimed at the evaluation of textbook of Social Studies for 5th grade as an effective instructional
aid. Textbook development is very sensitive area in curriculum. It is a critical task to maintain the coherence
among the concepts of the textbook. In Social Studies political, economic, cultural and environmental aspects
of society are studied. The primary purpose of Social Studies is to help "young people make informed about
the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse and democratic society".
Objectives of this research study were to evaluate the appropriateness of the book for the students, to analyze
the contents of prescribed book of Social Studies, to assess the importance of the textbook, to explore the
possible difficulties in the book, to find out the durable physical features of it and to draw a comparison
between opinions of both teachers and students regarding the book. It was hypothesized that our schools
have no special resources required for textbook of Social Studies. It is also hypothesized that book is not likely
to excite the interest of students and teachers nor it is according to the National Curriculum. The population
comprised teachers and students from all Federal Government Junior Model Schools of Islamabad city. By
using Random sampling technique, sample was selected. In order to collect data, two questionnaires were
used. One was for teachers of Social Studies and other for students of 5th grade. Data obtained was analyzed
and interpreted by using appropriate descriptive and inferential test of significance such as one way chi-
square and two-way chi square. The level of significance was 0.05.
On the basis of results, it was concluded that the book contains irrelevant questions in exercises and proper
answers were not available in the relevant chapters. Maps and legends of maps were not very much clear and
the lengthy facts and figures were not understandable for the students. In light of the conclusions, it was
recommended that colorful pictures, perfect binding, proper description of facts, pre-requisite knowledge and
learnability of students should be ensured in writing and adoption of a textbook for Social Studies.
