حضرت رائج سیالکوٹی کو شعر و سخن میں مقام ارفع حاصل ہے۔ رائج مرزا بیدل اور حضرت شاہ آفرین کے ساتھ ہم طرح تھے۔ زیادہ ہجو ہی لکھتے تھے۔ کلام میں آمد بہت زیادہ تھی۔ آپ سو سال کی عمر میں ۱۷۳۳ء میں فوت ہوئے(۳) حاکم لاہوری نے ان کی تاریخ وفات یوں نکالی۔
’’رفت رائج بعالم باقی‘‘ (۴)
اردو میں بھی شعر کہتے تھے لیکن فارسی کلام کی طرف زیادہ توجہ تھی۔ ان کا اردو کلام مفقود ہے۔ منشی محمد دین فوق نے ان کے دیوان کے متعلق علامہ اقبالؒ سے ۴ مارچ ۱۹۳۳ء میں ایک خط کے ذریعے استفسار کیا۔ جواباً انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نے رائج کا دیوان فارسی میں خاصا ضخیم دیکھا ہے۔ (۵)
Aims Of Study: During COVID-19 people were forced to stay home and this increased the risk of limiting their PA and adaptation of sedentary behaviour hence our objective is to measure the impact of leisure activities on well-being during COVID-19.
Methodology: 366 participants were selected, using Non-probability convenient sampling from UOL and PGC. PA and well-being were assessed using IPAQ-short form and WHO-5 well-being questionnaire.
Results: IPAQ-short form with well-being Pearson Chi square was 638.012, Spearman correlation was 0.956 and p-value Asymptotic significance (2 sided) was .000 which means there is positive strong correlation between variables.
Limitations and Future Implication: Adults having ages 18-40yrs volunteered due to short time period and since our study limited to only 2 settings so to generalize our outcomes for mass population was not feasible. During lockdown gaining past medical history in data collection was impacted, it is suggested to include the role of Physiotherapist in improving health status by PA, create awareness among common population about role of PA and their relation with well-being also including diversity in age groups, ethnicity and localities is suggested.
Originality: Strong positive correlation between PA and well-being.
Conclusion: This study shows that during Covid-19 pandemic, those individuals who remained physically active had good impact on their health. Being physically active not only improves an individual’s physical fitness level but also helps to cope with psychological problems degrading one’s mental health so our study found out direct relation between physical activity levels and health status.
Maryam Jameelah is an American Jewish lady who, after her conversion to Islam, migrates to Pakistan on the invitation of Abul A'la Maududi. She is studied mostly as a scholar of modern Western thought. Less information is available regarding her conversion, however. Her writings indicate that her criticism of Western civilization is directly connected to her conversion. Therefore, this research aims to analyze her conversion and its relationship with her criticism of Western civilization. Notably, the complexity of the analytical study of any conversion process is augmented due to the involvement of various underlying motifs, events, and types of conversion. Therefore, Lewis Ray Rambo's heuristic stage model of conversion is used for understanding of psychological, sociological, historical, religious, and anthropological aspects of her conversion. Rambo uses the inter-disciplinary approach to formulate his heuristic model that consists of seven stages including context, crisis, quest, encounter, interaction, commitment, and consequences. This research finds out that adopting many religious traditions, groups, and movements, Jameelah is converted multiple times in her life. Her 'multiple conversions' reveal that it is her quest for the complete satisfaction that moves her from one religious fold to another. Her study of Islam provides her such satisfactory answers that end the process of her multiple conversions. After converting to Islam, she does not convert to any other religion. During her life in Pakistan, she is inclined towards Sufism and starts practicing it. Analysis of her 'multiple conversions' figures out that findings related to the context, crisis, and quest stages of Rambo’s model are almost the same in each of her conversion process whereas some differences are observed in other stages of her conversions.
Regarding her criticism of Western civilization, it is observed that during her life in America, she feels the strong impact of secular culture on religion. Numerous factors such as the Reform Judaism especially the work of Moses Mendelssohn, the Western mood of living, the industrial revolution, love of natural beauty, the nonobservant attitude of parents, the genocide of red Indians, and love of classical music make her hate modernism and Western civilization. She claims that modernism or westernization are two sides of the same coin. When she discovers that, being influenced by the theory of evolution, modern scholars are trying to deny the presence of ideals such as permanence and absolute truth in the real life, she decides to spend the rest of her life in defending them by criticizing modern philosophies. In sum, her criticism of Western civilization can be divided into two types. Firstly, she criticizes Western civilization and its impact on Islam by evaluating its philosophical foundations. Secondly, she criticizes the reformers of Islam through hundreds of her book reviews. Moreover, she criticizes both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars of Islam alike maintaining that Islam does not need any sort of reforms or changes. She suggests embracing traditional orthodoxy in all world religions.
