نواب امیر حسن خان
افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ مارچ میں نواب صدیق حسن خان کے پوتے اور نواب علی حسن خان کے بڑے صاحبزادے نواب امیر حسن خان نے دفعتہ انتقال کیا، اس خاندان میں کئی پشتوں تک علم و دولت کا اجتماع رہا نواب علی حسن خان خود صاحبِ علم، اہل قلم کے قدردان اور لکھنؤ کی اہم شخصیت تھے، اس لئے علامہ شبلی مرحوم سے اُن کے بڑے گہرے تعلقات تھے، اس تعلق اور علم دوستی کی بنا پر ان کو ندوہ اور دارالمصنفین سے خاص تعلق تھا، ندوہ کے وہ ابتداء سے حامی و مددگار اور ایک زمانہ تک اس کے ناظم رہے، دارالمصنفین کے بھی رکن تھے، نواب صاحب کی زندگی تک ان کا دولت کدہ اصحابِ علم وکمال کا مرجع تھا، مگر ان کی وفات کے بعد اس خاندان کی پرانی شان قائم نہ رہ سکی، تاہم نواب امیر حسن خان نے حتی الامکان قدیم روایات اور پرانے تعلقات کو نباہنے کی کوشش کی، مگر زمینداری کے خاتمہ نے اس خاندان کا بالکل خاتمہ کردیا، ایک زمانہ میں بھوپال ہاؤس کی رونق اور چہل پہل قابلِ دید تھی، اور اب وہ تلک الایام نداولہابین الناس[آل عمران:۱۴۰]کا مرقع بن گیا ہے، نواب امیر حسن خان کی عمر ساٹھ سال کے قریب رہی ہوگی، اﷲ ان کو اپنی رحمت ومغفرت سے سرفراز فرمائے۔

‘Abdullah bin al-Mubark was born in Marw’ one of the prime cities in Khurasan, (nowadays in the surroundings of Afghanistan and Central Asia), in the year 118 AH. In addition to his many talents, achievements and abilities, ‘Abdullah bin al-Mubarak was also gifted in literacy, particularly in the art of poetry. He held an eloquent tongue which was recognized by all who conversed with him and his language displayed the nature of someone who had been taught well. Most of the poetry which has been recorded from him is actually his advice to others, whether they were close friends or high-ranking Caliphs and Rulers. The topics spoken of concerned the common issues which had arisen in his time (e.g. Matters pertaining to theology, politics, the worldview, the community etc) and as always, they contained much wisdom and hence the books of history have sealed them and recorded them. This research article discussed Biography of Abdullah ibn Al Mubarak, The Islamic Ethics in his poetry, Impact of Rhetoric on his poetry with special concentration on the four kinds i.e. Citation, impact of Quranic words, Quranic pictorial and Quranic style on his poetry.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is considered to be an important attribute to succeed at top level of management and is a distinguishing factor among top performing employees at workplace. However, the discrepancy in the elements of EQ models entails to develop an indigenous EQ measure that exists especially in the context of Pakistan’s workplace. Gap also points towards a holistic, multilevel and sequential model with a carefully validated scale. To address aforesaid shortcomings an indigenous model for EQ was proposed. A comprehensive theoretical analysis for EQ dimensions helped to identify the domain of new content. All crucial elements of existing EQ models were regrouped into three constructs of EA, EL and EM to present a logical underpinning. A scale (EQFS©1) was developed based on the hypothesized relationship of proposed model’s factor structures and linear relationships of the constructs of model. Operational definitions were generated and used to phrase scale items (candidate items). Subject matter experts’ opinion helped refine item thereby establishing Face and Content Validity. The raw measurement scale was pre-tested in a pilot study (Razzaq & Aftab, 2015) and based on the results the final scale was refined and floated to the managers of 4 hypermarkets generating 339 valid responses. Cronbach alpha was used for internal consistency of EQFS and was validated through Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis all the hypothesized relations at first, second and third order factor analysis were accepted. A comprehensive strategy was adopted for Validity analysis for establishing content, criterion and construct validity. Model was tested through Structural Equational Modelling for EQFS© the mediating effect of EL with EA and EM was established. Except for the convergent validity with BarOn EQi scale the statistical significance of validities were established. The proposed Model disambiguate EI as exhaustibly as possible in a hierarchical and sequential manner to allow reasoning about their structure working towards an integrated framework of all the elements of influential EI models as suggested by practitioners. The proposed model and EQFS© will be a valuable tool for managers and academia and an important theoretical contribution to EQ literature.
