علم روشنی ہے

علم روشنی ہے
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرنا ہے وہ ہے:’’علم روشنی ہے‘‘
معزز سامعین!
علم روشنی ہے ،علم نور ہے علم ایک خزانہ ہے، یہ ایسے جملے ہیں کہ جو ان کے مفہوم کو اپنے ذہن کے در یچوں میں، قلب و اذہان کے کونے کھدرے میں جگہ دے وہ یکتائے روزگار بن جاتا ہے۔ علم کی روشنی جہالت کی تاریکی کا خاتمہ کر دیتی ہے اورعلم کی ناخدائی سے بحرِجہالت میں ہچکولے کھانے والی ناؤ کو کنارے لگانے میں کامران ہو جا تا ہے۔
صدرِذی وقار!
جہاں علم کی روشنی کی کرنیں پہنچیں وہ سرزمین بقعۂ نور بن گئی ، وہ خزاں رسیدہ دل و دماغ بہار آشنا ہو گئے، وہ پژمردہ شعور، شعوری دنیا کے حکمران بن گئے، وہ خس و خاشاک پیدا کرنے والی سرزمین حامل گل وگلزار ہوگئی، منحوس تصور کیے جانے والے بوم جو جہالت کا مرقعّ تھے اُن کا وجود عنقا ہو گیا، علم کے شاہینوں نے قصرِ سلطانی کے گنبد کو چھوڑ کر جبال شامخہ میں اپنا مسکن بنانا شروع کر دیا۔ علم کے طائر لا ہوتی نے اپنی پرواز بلند کرنا شروع کر دی۔
صدرِمحترم!
علم واقعی ایک روشنی ہے جس گھر میں اس کی قندیلیں روشن ہوں وہ گھر اعلیٰ و ارفع ہوتا ہے، جس معاشرے میں صاحب ِعلم حضرات موجود ہوں وہ معاشرہ صحت مند معاشرہ کہلاتا ہے، جس قوم میں اربابِ علم و دانش موجود ہوں وہ قوم دیگر اقوام سے بدر جہا بہتر ہوتی ہے، وہ ملک کے ماتھے کا جھومر ہوتی ہے، وہ اپنی سلطنت کے لیے رحمت ہوتی ہے وہ قوم اللہ کا ایک انعام ہوتی ہے، اُس قوم کے...

Awareness and Utilisation of Primary Healthcare to Reduce Emergency Department Overcrowding in Saudi Arabia

Background Patients seeking emergency department (ED) care for non-acute conditions are a major contributor to ED overcrowding, which results in longer wait times. Method This was a cross-sectional study, conducted using an online survey among the Saudi population to assess their awareness about primary healthcare clinics (PHCCs) and urgent care clinics (UCCs), their role, and their scope of practice. Results A total of 565 participants were included in this study. Most of the respondents (81.1%) reported lengthy waiting times in the ED. Moreover, most (81.6%) stated that they had never visited a family doctor, yet they (92.6%) favoured having one for follow-up care. Close to half of the participants (50.3%) reported attending PHCCs without an appointment, and the majority of them (69.2%) said that PHCCs were overcrowded. Finally, most participants (92.4%) had not heard aboutUCCs. Conclusion ED overcrowding and prolonged waiting times remain a public concern. PHCCs and UCCs are underutilised, and this is attributed to the lack of awareness about their scope and their services.  

Assessing the Role of Nuclear Deterrence in Indias Quest for Power Projection and its Impact on Regional Stability

India‟s enhanced international stature is generally attributed to its impressive economic progress and integration in the international system since the 1990s. However, many ascribe it to the phenomenal growth of its military power projection capability built around strong nuclear deterrent. Notwithstanding this debate, there is no denying the fact that a sustained effort on the part of India has earned it the status of a power to be reckoned with. Empirical evidence suggests that in India‟s quest for power projection capability nuclear deterrence played the key role which forced Pakistan to go nuclear resulting in complete transformation of South Asia‟s strategic landscape. India‟s relationships with major countries have been so configured as to serve its intent to maximise hard military power. However, its behaviour toward smaller neibhbours has been marked by status-interest paradox, a concept theorised in this study in which stronger states like India in their interactions with smaller states tend to be overwhelmed by statusconsciousness and take ego-based decisions relegating cost-benefit material interests to a lower priority. Its strategic culture which drives its behaviour as a state is embedded in the sociocultural and religious moorings of Hinduism and Kautilya‟s philosophical precepts of statecraft which both combined provide motivation for maximisation of hard military power including nuclear weapons. Its behaviour is best explained by John Mearsheimer‟s theory of offensive realism and Kautilya‟s realist principles whereas some useful insight into its strategic mindset is also provided by liberalism and constructivism. The study reveals that India‟s efforts to maximise its power projection capability have negatively impacted on regional stability and given rise to nuclear arms race between India and Pakistan which points to the need for an arms control and disarmament regime in the region. The impact of India‟s military build-up has been studied in the framework of strategic quadrangle, a concept introduced in this study.
