مولانا شاہ محمد حلیم عطا شیخ
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ مہینہ مولانا محمد شاہ حلیم عطاشیخ الحدیث ندوۃ العلما لکھنؤ نے ستر برس کی عمر میں وفات پائی۔آپ ضلع رائے بریلی کے مشہور قصبہ سلون کے باشندے تھے۔جہاں کی مشہور خانقاہ میں آپ کے برادر بزرگ سجادہ نشین ہیں۔ گھر کے اچھے کھاتے پیتے تھے۔لیکن ندوہ میں بہت معمولی طریقہ پر رہتے تھے۔ مرحوم عوامی شہرت کے عالم نہیں تھے اور نہ اپنے مزاجِ لا ابالی کی وجہ سے ہوسکتے تھے۔لیکن درحقیقت بہت اونچے درجہ کے فاضِل اور نہایت وسیع المطالعہ تھے۔ حدیث ان کاخاص فن تھا۔صحیح بخاری کے ساتھ عشق رکھتے تھے اور پھر حافظہ اس بلاکا تھا کہ جو کچھ پڑھتے تھے دماغ میں نقش ہوجاتا تھا ۔مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ انھیں چلتا پھرتاکتب خانہ کہاکرتے تھے۔ ندوہ کے اساتذہ تک اپنے فن کے مشکل مسائل میں ان سے برابر استفادہ کرتے رہتے تھے۔
علمی کمالات کے علاوہ اخلاق وفضائل کے اعتبارسے سلفِ صالحین کا نمونہ تھے۔ہرشخص سے بڑے تپاک سے ملتے تھے، چھوٹوں پر ان کی شفقت عام تھی،اپنے اساتذہ کاذکر بڑی عقیدت اور محبت سے کرتے اوراستادزادوں سے ان کے خوردہونے کے باوجود برادرانہ تعلق رکھتے تھے۔ کم وبیش ایک برس سے خون کے دباؤ کے عارضے میں مبتلا تھے۔ جولائی میں بہت شدید دورہ پڑا اور تقریباً ۴۸ گھنٹے بے ہوش رہے ۔ہرچند کہ بہتر سے بہتر علاج کیاگیا۔لیکن چوں کہ وقت پورا ہوچکاتھااس لیے کوئی افاقہ نہیں ہوااور آخروہ قیدِ حیات سے ہی آزاد ہوگئے ۔اﷲ تعالیٰ غریق رحمت کرے اور بیش از بیش ان کے مدارج بڑھائے ۔آمین [نومبر۱۹۵۵ء]
This article discusses the effectiveness of the new student admission socialization program on the decision of the prospective student to enroll in the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Palu. The problem studied is How are the efforts of socialization of new student admissions applied at IAIN Palu? What is the most effective socialization attempt for student candidate's admission at IAIN Palu? This research uses survey research design combined with descriptive qualitative analysis model. Data collection using questionnaire method supported by interview and collecting a documentations. The results showed that the socialization efforts applied in IAIN Palu was by utilizing mass media and school visit. An effective efforts of socialization for introducing institutions to the public is unprogrammed in schedules, they used word to word (door to door) and publicity promotion. Nevertheless, regular programmed socialization models are held regularly every day before the admission of new students, usually used advertising and “personal selling” through visits to schools, is still quite effective. While the main consideration factor for enrolling in IAIN Palu is the availability of courses appropriate to their interests.
With the rapid development of information and communication technologies, academic explorations into factors influencing acceptance of technology systems have been actively pursued. Thereby, many variants of the technology acceptance model were proposed and validated in various contexts involving a widespread application of the model, specifically in studying acceptance and use of e-learning systems. In the context of e-learning adoption, commonly used external factors of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) are “self-efficacy”, “subjective norm”, “enjoyment”, “computer anxiety” and “experience”. Previous research on e-learning technologies have further explored the effect of these external factors on two primary constructs of TAM which are “perceived ease of use” and “perceived usefulness”. Although engagement of students with e-learning systems has revealed improvement in learning, the role of previously used external factors like computer anxiety, experience and selfefficacy needs to be re-examined for the modern digital native learners who have grown up in sophisticated technological environment. Therefore, factors like “results demonstrability”, “perception of external control”, “system accessibility” and “attitude” considered relevant to digital learners and were identified and used in the proposed model. These additional factors augmented the previously identified factors like “subjective norm”, “enjoyment” and “self-efficacy” for studying their influence on students’ behavioral intention to utilize e-learning systems. This research utilizes a cross-sectional design and data was collected from 437 undergraduate students from three academic programs using a self-administered questionnaire. Structural equation modeling technique was used to test the interrelationships between the constructs of proposed model. Mediating effects of model variables and moderating effects of gender, experience and type of institution on behavioral intention to use e-learning systems were also studied. The primary contribution of this research is an extended technology acceptance model based upon external factors relevant to digital learners, which identifies key predictors of student’s perceived ease of use and student’s perceived usefulness of e-learning systems. The research findings have significant theoretical and practical significance for researchers and academic practitioners. The proposed model will be useful in predicting behavioral intention to use e-learning systems by digital learners and will generate additional future research in other contexts and cultures with an aim to design and adopt e-learning systems that seek wide acceptance among students in universities.
