آج مجھے جس موضوع پرلب کشائی کرنی ہے وہ ہے:’’ہمارا مقصد حیات‘‘
معزز سامعین!
اللہ تعالیٰ نے ہر چیز کوکسی نہ کسی مقصد کے لیے پیدا فرمایا ہے۔ کائنات کی کوئی چیز ایسی نہیں ہے جو بے مقصد پیدا کی گئی ہو۔ حضرت موسی ں نے بارگاہِ رب العزت میں عرض کی کہ یارب العالمین تو نے چھپکلی کوکس لیے پیدا فرمایا۔ اللہ تبارک وتعالیٰ کی طرف سے جواب ملا کہ میرے کلیم تجھ سے پہلے چھپکلی بھی یہی سوال کر چکی ہے کہ توُ نے موسی ں کوکس مقصد کے لیے پیدا فرمایا ہے۔ عربی کا مقولہ ہے: فعل الحکیم لا یخل عن الحکمہ طکہ حکیم کا فعل حکمت سے خالی نہیں ہوتا ۔
یعنی علم کا کوئی فعل بھی حکمت سے خالی نہیں ہوتا۔ معلوم یہ ہوا کہ کائنات کے اندر کوئی ایسی چیز موجود نہیں ہے جو بے مقصد پیدا کی گئی ہو، اب اگر کوئی اس کو اس کے مقصد کے خلاف استعمال کرے گا تو اس کو انسان نہیں بلکہ حیوان کہیں گے۔ مثال کے طور پر ٹوپی سر پر رکھنے کے لیے، جوتا پاؤں میں پہننے کے لیے، گلاس پینے کے لیے، اگالدان تھوکنے کے لیے، جو کوئی ٹوپی کو پاؤں میں اور جوتے کو سر پر رکھے اور اگالدان کو پینے کے لیے اور گلاس کو تھوکنے کے لیے استعمال کرے وہ دیوانہ ہے عقل مندنہیں ،جو کوئی پتھر اور لکڑی کی بے جان مورتیوں کو اپنا کعبہ سمجھنے لگے اور انسان کو جو خالقِ حقیقی کی مخلوق ہے اپنا خدا سمجھنے لگے تو وہ کامیابی اور عزت و عظمت کا تاج بھلا کیسے سر پرسجا سکتا...
The first main objective of Maqasid I Shari`ah is the completion of human’s necessity; in which protection of progeny (nasl) is the foremost purpose. The preservation of lineage is greatly emphasized by the Islamic Shariah and the Cairo declaration of human rights in Islam also supported the protection of lineage in Islam. All the articles of CDHRI covered the five basic human rights mentioned in Maqasid I Shariah. The research is focused on delineating the concept of protection of lineage as one of the main objective of Shariah and it is supported by evidences from Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam along with Quranic verses and traditions of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). The aspects covered in the paper range from discussion of right of progeny as well as equal rights of progeny for male and female; rights of children with the hierarchy of their rights from the stage of fetus, having proper nursing, caring, education and a healthy beginning of life. The comparative analysis based on arguments of Shariah and the CDHRI proves that it is the basic objective of Shariah to protect all fundamental rights and right of progeny has the foremost significance in it.
This study intended to investigate the behavior of human as an investor by capturing and envisioning the reasons for stock market participation. It examines the impact of investor‟s personality and emotional quotient on stock market participation. This study add to existing body of literature by investigating the moderating impact of financial sophistication, trading experience and gender between investor‟s personality emotional quotient and stock market participation. The study was cross sectional with time lag data collection, used multiple regressions and archival research methodology. Andrew Hayes Process was operationalize to measure the moderating relationships among the variables. The use of regression and Andrew Hayes Process helped to empirically test and validate the research hypotheses. The study finds that there was positive impact of extroversion and openness to experience on stock market participation. On the basis of literature it was hypothesized that there was negative relationship between conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism and stock market participation. The statistical results also validate and extended the support for the proposed hypothesis. It was also hypothesized that there is positive impact of motivation and self-awareness on stock market participation. Statistical results demonstrated positive impact of motivation on stock market 3 participation. While results for self-awareness were counter to the expectation and showed negative association with stock market participation. The study concludes that financial literacy, trading experience and gender can modify the relationship between some basic personality traits and stock market participation. It showed that, on the one hand, behavior finance is not completely predetermined by one‟s DNA, on the other, it also points out exactly what other traits that are not so influenced by financial literacy, trading experience and gender. Perhaps this implies that these traits are more predetermined by one‟s innate characteristics. The current study has used quantitative data for analysis, using qualitative interviews to gather more improved information would be an addition in the literature with influence of family resource management theory. The study has implications for policy makers and government at micro and macro level. The present study provides valuable insights and protection to vulnerable groups by exploring the financial behavior of individuals in case of financial planning and investments. Study provides interdisciplinary contribution by extending the usefulness of Big Five taxonomy and establishing personality as a viable approach with respect to stock market participation. The results of the study are in line with the Western settings and can be well generalized to the Pakistani settings. Furthermore the findings of this research provide firm grounds for future research. Keywords: financial sophistication, personality, emotional quotient, trading experience, stock market participation.
