ذرا نم ہو تو یہ مٹی بڑی زرخیز ہے ساقی
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم

معززصدر اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کرنی ہے وہ ہے::’’ذرا نم ہو تو یہ مٹی بڑی زرخیز ہے ساقی‘‘
ارشاد ِباری تعالیٰ ہے:۔فالھمھا فجورھا و تقوھا
ہرنفس میں گناہ اور تقوی کا الہام کر دیا گیا
جنابِ صدر!
حضرت اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ سمجھتے تھے کہ خالق کائنات نے انسان کوفطرتِ سلیم پر پیدا فرمایا ہے اور ہر انسان کی فطرت میں خیر اور شرکا مادہ رکھ دیا گیا ہے اور جب انسان اللہ تعالیٰ کے بتائے ہوئے راستے پرعمل پیرا ہو کر نیکی کی طرف گامزن ہوتا ہے تو وہ فرشتوں سے بھی آگے نکل جاتا ہے اور اسے انسانیت کی معراج نصیب ہوتی ہے مگر جب انسان ابلیس کے بتائے ہوئے راستے پر چلتا ہے تو جہالت و گمراہی اس کا مقدر بن جاتی ہے اپنے نفسِ امارہ کی پیروی کرتے ہوئے وہ ذلت کی پستیوں میں نیچے اتر جاتا ہے لیکن انسان کے دل میں اُنس اور محبت کا جذ بہ فلاح اور خیر کا عنصر ہمیشہ موجود رہتا ہے جو کسی بھی وقت اس کے من میں زور پکڑ لیتا ہے اور انسان اپنے اصل مقصد کی طرف واپس پلٹ آتا ہے اسی لیے اقبال امید رکھتے ہیں کہ میری قوم کے نوجوان اپنے مقصدِ حیات سے ہٹ گئے ہیں۔ غیروں کی اندھی تقلید میں اپنا جو ہرحقیقی کھو چکے ہیں۔ تن آسانی اور من فراموشی نے ان کا قومی وقار چھین لیا ہے یقینا یہ ایک دن اپنے ماضی اور اسلاف کے کارناموں کی طرف واپس پلٹیں گے اور اپنا کھویا ہوا مقام حاصل کریں گے۔ اسی لیے اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ فرماتے ہیں۔

Human Milk banks have been established in many parts of the world. The main purpose of these banks is to save the babies’ lives and to ensure that the newborn babies’ rights to breast milk are fulfilled. Especially for the infants whose Mothers could not feed them due to illness, lack of milk or lack of time. The problem is that milk bank practices in the Western countries contradict with the Islamic law whereby it may result in the possibility of overlapping of the progeny (nasab) and selling the organ of human, etc. The Muslim countries have been not participating in these milk sharing activities because of these religious issues. However, due to a critical need of breast milk in hospitals, this article addresses these issues and the different opinions of Islamic scholars and suggests ways to formulate a proper model of milk bank that is compatible with the Islamic law and to avoid further problems of nasab. This study has two main objectives: firstly, to introduce Milk Bank, causes of its’ existence, method of collection and storage the milk, the benefits of breastfeeding and the unpleasant effects of Milk Banks. Secondly, to review some authoritative legal scholars’ opinions on the issue of milk bank and to recommend a proposal on how to develop a milk bank in accordance with the Islamic law. The study is expected to be able to recognize the issues of Milk Bank, to make the people become aware of its side effects and religious problem.
Superior health care services provide a strategic competitive advantage to health care organizations for catching new customers and retaining existing ones as their loyal members. Therefore, focusing on increased market-driven demand, a lot of service quality models have been conceptualized, discussed and empirically tested for functional quality measurements, but they did not conceive the idea to empirically validate technical aspects of service quality yet.Thus, there is need to develop a model covering both dimensions; functional and technical in South Asian context based on multiple respondents to bring improvement in multi-tasking services like hospitals.Such services possess a pool of multi-specialties and it is very difficult to develop such model that can cover each area collectively. So, in the current study, three departments; surgical, emergency, and diagnostics have been purposively selected to collect data from two types of respondents that include patients and employees (Doctors). Using cross-sectional study design, 1500 questionnaires were randomly self-administered among patients and 900 questionnaires (300 in each department) among employees of tertiary care hospitals from both public and private sector.Out of which 817 valid responses (with response rate of 56.67%) from patients and 518 (overall response rate of 57.56%) from employees were obtained.Data analysis was carried out using SPSS ver. 20.0 and AMOS ver. 20.0. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were carried out to determine dimensions within a scale. Findings validate assurance, reliability, communication, and responsiveness as contributing factors from previous studies while food, aesthetics, and promptness as new dimensions along with patient satisfaction as an outcome indicator in South Asian context for determining functional quality.These dimensions focused to synthesize a new scale termed Func.Qual. The Assurance was found as most important factor while Communication as the least one based on quality gap score. Whereas employee’s perspective for technical quality measurement results in reliability, responsiveness, tangibility, assurance, communication, working capacity and empathy to form second-order factor analysis model called Tech.Qual. Clinical indicators of each respective department were outcome measures of Tech.Qual. Assurance was found as most critical factor amongst all dimensions while reliability least one. There exists a significant difference in all dimensions of service quality of public and private hospitals except responsiveness and assurance in process measures and clinical indicators (outcome measures) of surgical and diagnostics departments. But in totality, both patients and employees perspective revealed that private sector possess lesser service quality gaps than public sector hospitals.This model, if applied in health sector, may lead to bringing incremental change in perspectives/priorities of health care providers to satisfy their customers
