مولانا شاہ محمد حلیم عطا شیخ
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ مہینہ مولانا محمد شاہ حلیم عطاشیخ الحدیث ندوۃ العلما لکھنؤ نے ستر برس کی عمر میں وفات پائی۔آپ ضلع رائے بریلی کے مشہور قصبہ سلون کے باشندے تھے۔جہاں کی مشہور خانقاہ میں آپ کے برادر بزرگ سجادہ نشین ہیں۔ گھر کے اچھے کھاتے پیتے تھے۔لیکن ندوہ میں بہت معمولی طریقہ پر رہتے تھے۔ مرحوم عوامی شہرت کے عالم نہیں تھے اور نہ اپنے مزاجِ لا ابالی کی وجہ سے ہوسکتے تھے۔لیکن درحقیقت بہت اونچے درجہ کے فاضِل اور نہایت وسیع المطالعہ تھے۔ حدیث ان کاخاص فن تھا۔صحیح بخاری کے ساتھ عشق رکھتے تھے اور پھر حافظہ اس بلاکا تھا کہ جو کچھ پڑھتے تھے دماغ میں نقش ہوجاتا تھا ۔مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ انھیں چلتا پھرتاکتب خانہ کہاکرتے تھے۔ ندوہ کے اساتذہ تک اپنے فن کے مشکل مسائل میں ان سے برابر استفادہ کرتے رہتے تھے۔
علمی کمالات کے علاوہ اخلاق وفضائل کے اعتبارسے سلفِ صالحین کا نمونہ تھے۔ہرشخص سے بڑے تپاک سے ملتے تھے، چھوٹوں پر ان کی شفقت عام تھی،اپنے اساتذہ کاذکر بڑی عقیدت اور محبت سے کرتے اوراستادزادوں سے ان کے خوردہونے کے باوجود برادرانہ تعلق رکھتے تھے۔ کم وبیش ایک برس سے خون کے دباؤ کے عارضے میں مبتلا تھے۔ جولائی میں بہت شدید دورہ پڑا اور تقریباً ۴۸ گھنٹے بے ہوش رہے ۔ہرچند کہ بہتر سے بہتر علاج کیاگیا۔لیکن چوں کہ وقت پورا ہوچکاتھااس لیے کوئی افاقہ نہیں ہوااور آخروہ قیدِ حیات سے ہی آزاد ہوگئے ۔اﷲ تعالیٰ غریق رحمت کرے اور بیش از بیش ان کے مدارج بڑھائے ۔آمین [نومبر۱۹۵۵ء]
Background and Aims: The study identified the risks of increased screen time on generation z considering two parameters i.e., insomnia and obesity and the moderating role of self-control.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted by convenient sampling technique. The survey only included people who were born between 1997 and 2002. The analysis of the effects of variables took into account only a few parameters. Discriminant validity and convergent validity was used to check reliability and validity while path coefficient analyzed the hypothesis.
Results: Binge-watching has positive significant impact on insomnia and obesity (p<0.05), and the self-control strongly effect the relationship of binge-watching, obesity and insomnia as a moderator (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Binge-watching caused insomnia and obesity while self-control in direct relation to obesity and insomnia controlled the prevalence rate. The moderating role of self-control showed that insufficiency of self-control during binge-watching led to obesity and insomnia. The outcome indicated that Generation Z needs to be encouraged to practice self-control through public health initiatives, social media, seminars, workshops, etc. At the same time, people need to be made aware of how binge-watching affects their health.
Keywords: Insomnia, obesity, self-control, screen time, technology, mortality, exercise.
The starting point of good citizenship is the ability of the child to become aware of his/her identity, right, and obligations in the community. Hence, the curriculum is a very important tool in creating awareness through relevant teaching methods. Social Studies thus, is a crucial subject in teaching citizenship education. Therefore, inquiry is one of the most relevant instructional strategies, so as to allow students to question in order to become aware of issues that affect them as individuals, or as a nation, on a global level. Issue-based inquiry is an instructional strategy which can be used to promote active learning by encouraging students to investigate the problem by collecting information from different sources, analyzing and presenting the findings and identifying areas to take appropriate actions. The study was conducted in one of the private schools of Pakistan in a grade eight Social Studies classroom. A small scale classroom action research was carried out in order to study the implementation of issue-based inquiry. The action research, which I practiced, involved the process of formulating a general idea, conducting reconnaissance, making a general plan of action, implementation and evaluation. The cycle of action research that is planning, acting, observing and reflecting was followed in the process. The findings of this study indicated that by being involved in issue-based inquiry, students can develop inquiry skills and as in groups, the skills of working together are practiced. However, skill development is a gradual process, which demands deliberate teaching and substantial practice. For example, the students developed skills of collecting data from newspaper and textbook, but they still require more practice so as to become comfortable in these skills. Also, the knowledge regarding ‘Kalabagh Dam's construction' and Environmental Pollution' was shared. However, students found the second topic more interesting and close to their level, whereas the former was considered as a political' and adult' topic, and they did not want to associate themselves with politics.
