زیر نظر کتاب ’’ نگارشاتِ راشد‘‘ کی ورق گردانی کرتے ہوئے مختلف مقامات پر بنظر تعمق توجہ کی جس کو پڑھ کر انتہائی مسرّت ہوئی کہ حافظ محمد اکرم راشدؔنے انتہائی محنت، لگن اور خدمتِ خلق کے جذبہ سے سرشار ہو کر عوام النّاس کے لیے بالعموم اور طلباء کے لیے بالخصوص مقالات کے مجموعہ کو’’ نگارشات راشد‘‘ کے عنوان سے مُدّون کیا۔ جس کی عصرِ حاضر میں بہت ضرورت ہے ۔ اِن تقریروں اور تحریروں کے مجموعہ سے طلباء کو مضمون اور تقریر کے تیار کرنے میں کوئی دقت پیش نہ آئے گی۔ موصوف نے اپنی اِن تحریروں کے ذریعے ترغیبی انداز اختیار کرتے ہوئے دینی نقطۂ نظر سے بھی شائقین مطالعہ کی راہنمائی کی ہے ۔ یہ طلباء کے لیے ایک انمول تحفہ ہے ۔ تحریر میں جامعیت، اختصار ، مناسبت ، روانی اور مقفّع و مسجّع عبارتیں موصوف کی اِس فن سے آشنائی پر دَال ہیں ۔ ؎ اللہ کرے زورِ قلم اور زیادہ!

Children are the future of the parents, family, nation, and country. But the future of children is becoming insecure due to the changing conditions of the present age and global conspiracies against humanity. The prophet (ﷺ) used to pray for children. In the same way, every parent wants to have kids. And they want their children to be mentally and physically healthy in every way. The Quran and Seerat-e-tayyaba guide us to the right of children so that if these rights are provided. The future of every child will be secured in this world and hereafter. Children’s rights are divided into two categories: 1: parental rights, and 2: postnatal rights. This article describes five prenatal rights and fifteen postnatal rights with arguments.
This study explores the use of Discrepant Event, as an innovative strategy for science teaching. The Discrepant Event is an event that is contrary to the expectations of the learner. This intuition- offending activity raises questions in the minds of the learners and creates a need to know. Through this strategy a teacher can create an atmosphere of inquiry in the science classroom. This study was conducted in three phases: Pre-intervention, Intervention and Post-Intervention. In the Pre- intervention stage I assessed the current knowledge, skills and attitude of six students of class VI, with the help of a semi-structured interview. In the Intervention phase I taught science to the sixth class of a private boys school, using the Discrepant Event as a teaching strategy, while introducing selective process skills like prediction, observation and explanation. In the Post-intervention stage I assessed progress in three areas: conceptual understanding, skills development and attitudinal change in the six boys. During the Intervention stage I had two roles, that of a teacher and a researcher. I found this aspect of my study, particularly challenging. Data were collected from different sources and different methods to ensure better reliability. Data analysis was done in two ways: analysis in the field and analysis after the field work. I found that the students who previously did not have a very clear idea of common science concepts like air occupies space' and air exerts pressure' had a better and deeper understanding of these concepts because of the teaching conducted with the help of selected Discrepant Events. I found Discrepant Event a very useful and motivating strategy. However, it was time-consuming and difficult to implement. I had difficulty in developing events suited to the learning needs of the students. Students became proficient in their skills of observations, prediction and explanation, but the development of these skills was very context-bound and I could not ascertain whether they would be transferable to other situations. However, repetition seemed to help in developing the observation skills. I also found that through discrepancy a teacher can identify students' alternative ideas about science concepts. Discrepant Events not only made classes interesting and student-centered but were also useful for developing an understanding of science concepts.
