خان بہادر ظفر حسین خاں
دوسرا حادثہ بہادر ظفر حسین خاں کی وفات کا ہے، وہ بھی اس علمی بزم کی یادگار تھے، اس لیے ان کے تعلقات بھی دارالمصنفین سے دیرینہ تھے، وہ انسپکٹر آف اسکولس کے عہدہ پر ممتاز تھے، اس سے ریٹائر ہونے کے بعد کچھ دنوں تک شیعہ کالج کے پرنسپل رہے، ادھر عرصہ سے عزلت نشینی کی زندگی بسر کررہے تھے، مگر تالیف و تصنیف کا سلسلہ آخر تک جاری رہا، ان کا خاص موضوع فلسفہ تھا اور اس کی تاریخ پر ان کی نظر بہت وسیع تھی، اس موضوع پر ان کی کئی تصانیف ہیں، ان کی ایک تصنیف مقالہ روسو عرصہ ہوا اور دوسری مال و مشیت ابھی چند سال ہوئے دارالمصنفین سے شائع ہوئی تھی، آخرالذکر کتاب پر ان کو ساہتیہ اکیڈمی سے پانچ ہزار انعام ملا تھا، انجمن ترقی اردو ہند سے بھی ان کی بعض فلسفیانہ تصانیف شائع ہوئیں، اﷲ تعالیٰ دونوں خدام علم کو مغفرت فرمائے۔

The question of moral rectitude and upbringing of youth in the current social arena is the contemporary discovery attributed to social and family norms that also undergo change due to social and economic reasons. Consequently, deferring levels of piety become more or less acceptable according to an individual’s surroundings and age. The study was done to determine the association between religiosity and behaviors likely to improve the moral, social and psychological habits of young Muslims. The discussion of the article contextualizes the effects of observing practices of Islam on a larger scale. A sample study of this research can be used as evidence to counter the contemporary environment which inevitably generates contradictions for young people. The contradictions result in uncertainty and materialistic atmosphere which does not cater to their spiritual needs and the requirements to develop as the youth of Ummah. Yet, we cannot stop or avoid the negative channels and their effects prevailing on the internet. We can; however, extend the positive spiritual energy in youth that is only possible through careful observance of religious practices comprising regular prayers, fasting, charity and pilgrimage (Hajj). The current apathy of our youth towards the religious injunctions may be attributed to social and family norms that are in some cases relative to the economic conditions and social backup. This will evaluate and assess the way and means of effective inlaying of moral fields where our young people can improve their moral aptitude and rectitude. The impasse of current moral turpitude can be shattered with the bounding relation of human activity and Islamic ritual.
This study examines the influence of board control on the firm performance. The board structure, board power,
board communication, board meetings are the predictors of a firm performance. The objective is to investigate
either there exist an association between the firm performance and the selected predictors. For measuring the
performance, sales of the textile firms have been used and 250 textile firms of Faisalabad are used as sample
and for collecting the data convenient sampling method have been used. For collecting the data five point Likert
scale questionnaire is used and descriptive statistics in which mean and standard deviation is calculated on the
response data. Pearson correlation and simple linear Regression and multiple linear regression methods have
been applied to test the hypothesis.
The purpose of the first research hypothesis is to explore whether any significant relationship between the
board structure and firm performance is found or not. The simple linear regression has been used in which
significant result and positive coefficient indicates that positive association between the board structure and
the firm performance is observed. Further to check the association between the board power and firm
performance simple linear regression is used which also indicates significant result. Simple linear regression
and significant relationship between the board communication and firm performance is confirmed. The simple
linear regression results indicate that there is significant association between the board meeting and firm
performace.The last research hypothesis has significant relationship between the firm performance and board
structure, board power, board communication and board meeting. The multiple linear regression model is used
and the assumption of multiple regression has also diagnosed the linearity and normality of the data and found
that data is following the assumption of multiple linear regression.
It is concluded that well defined board structure and authorized and responsible board of directors that used
their power for the long term decision and keep an eye on the management increase performance of the firm.
The strong communication system among different levels of management and the board of directors and the
increase in the frequency of board meetings boost the performance of the firm.
