عمل سے زندگی بنتی ہے جنت بھی جہنم بھی

عمل سے زندگی بنتی ہے جنت بھی جہنم بھی
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
والعصر ان الانسان لفی خسر . الا الذین امنو وعملو الصلحت ط
صدر ِذی وقار اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کا موقع ملا ہے وہ ہے ڈاکٹر علا مہ محمد اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کے شعر کا مصرع:’’عمل سے زندگی بنتی ہے جنت بھی جہنم بھی‘‘
جنابِ صدر!
اگرچہ پڑھنے میں قاری کو ایک مصرع نظر آتا ہے۔ لیکن اپنے اندر مفا ہیم اور مطالب کا ایک جہان آباد کے ہوئے ہے۔ علامہ اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ قوم کو خواب غفلت سے بیدار کرتے ہوئے فرماتے ہیں کہ عمل کے بغیر تصور زیست ممکن ہی نہیں، زندگی حرکت وعمل کا دوسرا نام ہے۔ اوربے عملی یا جمود کا دوسرا نام موت ہے، عمل سے ہی زندگی کا بگاڑ ہے، اورعمل سے ہی زندگی کا نکھار ہے۔ جام زندگی کے دوام کا راز گردش پیہم میں پوشیدہ ہے۔ بے عملی نہ صرف انسان کو کاہل ، سست اور کمزور بناتی ہے بلکہ بے یقین اور بزدل بھی بناتی ہے، اس کے برعکس عمل انسان کومستعد ،معتمد اور معزز بناتا ہے۔ اقبال کے الفاظ ہیں :
چلنے والے نکل گئے ہیں
جو ٹھہرے ذرا کچل گئے ہیں
کلام پاک میں یہ بات قسم اُٹھا کر بتائی جارہی ہے کہ انسان نقصان میں ہے لیکن جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور نیک کام کرتے ہیں وہ نقصان میں نہیں ۔معلوم ہوا کہ انسان کا انسانیت کی معراج پر فائز ہونابغیر عمل کے ممکن نہیں۔ بقول شاعر:۔
خود عمل تیرا ہے صورت گر تری تقدیر کا
شکوہ کرنا ہو تو اپنا کر مقدر کا نہ کر
جو انسان صاحب عمل ہوتا ہے وہ اپنے کسی کام...

نوجوان کی تربیت اور منہج نبوی

Undoubtedly, Youth play cardinal role in the development and reformation of any society. Their activities produce an immense influence in the social development and progress. This article aimed at highlighting the important role of youth in social reforms by keeping in view the Islamic personalities like great companions of Holy Prophet (r). Descriptive and qualitative research approach was employed for the collection and analysis of data. The systematic review of scholarly literature on Islamic history revealed that the Prophet Muhammad (r) gave particular emphasize to nourish young generation in order to mold their lives into an ideal and balanced personality. He by developing intellectual, spiritual, and emotional skills produced such great men who led the mankind and became heroes of history. At the same time they appeared as ideal traders, peaceful citizens, just rulers, true followers of Holy Prophet (r) and loyal worshiper of Allah Almighty. The research by observing present condition of youth found that unfortunately our youth was found in illicit, unethical, useless, and peace demoting activities which promoted social evils and criminal activities. They got involved in unlawful activities including terrorism, killing, robbery, and kidnapping etc. By keeping view the above findings the research strongly recommends to nurture our youth on the footsteps of companions of Holy Prophet (r) in order to bring peace and prosperity in the country. Moreover they should be given awareness about the lives of heroes of Islam who appeared with great titles on the horizon.

Bilateral Effect of Foreign Direct Investment and Human Resource on Socio-Economic Development of Pakistan

The Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) as a package of capital, knowledge and skills has been getting popular for the last three decades among the developed as well as the developing countries. As regards its impact on the socioeconomic development of the host country, many developed and developing countries liberalized their economies and adopted radical policies to attract the FDI. Pakistan is one of such countries that took the FDI oriented stance in late 1980s. Among the multiple determinants of the FDI, the human capital got much importance in the literature with the passage of time. From the other side, the impact of the FDI on the human capital of the host country is also evident in the literature. This bilateral relationship between the human capital and the FDI may result in the socioeconomic development of the host country. The human capital is one of the social indicators and its formation owing to the FDI inflow is the very social development. The FDI may influence the economic development of the host country with the help of capital, payment of taxes, provision of jobs, and improvement in balance of payments. This social and economic development due to the bilateral relationship between the human capital and the FDI is the context dependant one. In the Pakistani context such nexus has not been studied fully. The studies that touched upon it partially are a few also with the conflicting results. This dissertation analyzes this very nexus empirically for Pakistan with the help of using the country level time series data during the period from 1971 to 2005 through four models. First of all it examines the human capital as determinant of the FDI. Then it investigates the impact of the FDI on the human capital. At the third stage it explores as to how FDI inflow influences the economic development in Pakistan. Finally, it studies the impact of the human capital on the economic development of Pakistan. This study also analyzes the trend and the pattern of the FDI flow in Pakistan and theoretically it identified the factors impeding the FDI xinflow. As for the data analysis, the bound testing approach to the cointegration within the framework of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) was used. The study concludes that: The human capital has a significantly positive impact on the FDI flow in Pakistan; The FDI does not influence the human capital formation at the macro level; The FDI is strongly instrumental in the economic development; and also the human capital leads to economic development of Pakistan. The factors impeding the FDI flow in Pakistan are: the perception among the foreign investors regarding the poor implementation of the policies in Pakistan; the poor law and order situation; the ongoing terrorism; weak economic conditions; the nuclear test of May 1998; inconsistent and short-term policies about investment and industrialization; various types of obstacles for investors regarding approval; comparatively insufficient infrastructure; poor condition of the human capital; and tangled labor laws and the pro-labor policies. On the bases of conclusion, policy implications have been touched upon the attraction of FDI and the formation of the human capital in such a way as may result in the socioeconomic development of Pakistan.
