مل گئی یک مشت ان کو راحتِ دنیا و دیں


مل گئی یک مُشت اُن کو راحتِ دنیا و دیں
جن کی قسمت میں مدینے کی فضائیں ہو گئیں

نورِ ’’اقرا‘‘ کی ضیائیں ساتھ ساتھ آنے لگیں
جلوتوں میں آگئے جب غار کے خلوت نشیںؐ

صبحِ طیبہ میں بسی ایمان کی تابندگی
شامِ طیبہ میں نہاں ہے راحتِ قلبِ حزیں

بندگانِ ربِّ کعبہ کی یہی ہے بندگی
جس جگہ پہ نقشِ پائے مصطفی ہو خم جبیں

آسمانِ معرفت کی اُس کو رفعت مل گئی
مل گئی جس شخص کو طیبہ میں بس دو گز زمیں

بربطِ تخلیق کی آوازِ ہست و بود میں
خلقتِ نورِ محمدﷺ ہے صدائے اوّلیں

آپؐ کے دم سے جہانِ آب و گل میں تازگی
چہرئہ ارض و سما ہے آپؐ کے دم سے حسیں

خوبیٔ رفتار سے آگے مقامِ مصطفیؐ
وسعتِ پرواز کی حد سدرہ سے آگے کہیں

والہانہ اہلِ الفت کی نگاہوں نے کہا
چودھویں کے چاند سے ہے آپؐ کا چہرہ حسیں

مدحتِ ممدوحِ ربؐ کی وسعتوں کے سامنے
لفظ کے دامن میں تنگی کے سوا کچھ بھی نہیں

ہیں امامِ انبیاؐ ، اقصیٰ کی شب ، بدرالدجیٰ
مقتدی ہے ماہِ کنعاںؑ کی ادائے دل نشیں

شافعِ محشرؐ کے ابرو کا اشارا ہو گیا
مل گئی اُنؐ کی شفاعت سے ہمیں خلدِ بریں

کس طرح اُن کو ہو عرفانِؔ خدائے لم یزل
جن کو محبوبِ خداؐ کی ذات سے اُلفت نہیں

Islamic Charity and Social Development in Pakistan

“Whoever extinguishes the fire of the greed of “Nafs (self)” gets prosperous” is the leitmotif of Quran. Islam in its best is the religion of the oppressed, even itsworships rather than mere rituals are conduit of socioeconomic and political justice a panacea to social development. Prayers of community stay hypocritical ifpoverty, destitution and oppression prevail in community. Quran crushes the spirit of acquisitiveness and strikes moral order based on socio-economic andpolitical justice. For social equilibrium charity, Zakat and Sadaqat are recurrent theme of Quran. To the Dreamer and the Architect, Pakistan was poised tobecome an Islamic welfare state. So, this paper intends to portray what is needed to eliminate social inequalities in the social fabric of the state. What the people and the state ought to do in the light of Islamic ideals? To Shah Wali Allah, Zakat is a sure enough recipe to run a state and strike social equilibrium if employed to the spirit of Quran.

What are the Policies and Practices of Maintaining Discipline in a Private Secondary School in Karachi, Pakistan

The term discipline', especially classroom discipline is an essential component in the teaching and learning process in schools. There is no single definition of this term, on which, the teachers and teacher educators have built a consensus. Much of the current literature discusses teaching opportunities that enable children to learn how to develop self-discipline, and to handle problems that arise within the school system. This contrasts with the authoritarian approach to discipline, that appears to be prevalent in most of the schools. The above two perspectives indicate that no consensus has been reached as far as definition and maintenance of discipline is concerned. This study was conducted to find out the existing approach to discipline in one of the private secondary schools in Karachi. For this purpose the qualitative case study approach was adopted where the data was collected through interviews, observations and documentary analysis. A number of key stakeholders (discussed in chapter three) were interviewed about their views of school discipline and their approach to maintain the discipline. The whole study revolves around Faris' (1996), view of discipline, as he argues, Today educators have moved away from trying to control students behaviour and instead focus on the teaching process to create, implement and maintain a classroom environment that supports learning The findings of the study indicate that there is a consistency in stakeholders expectations about what discipline is, and what discipline is for. The school has set certain rules and subsequent reward systems, which have been made known to stakeholders. The study further indicates that the school maintains discipline through: Empowering teachers and students by giving them leading responsibilities in various academic and co-curricular councils within the school and also supports students' learning by creating an appropriate learning environment. In addition, the school organizes professional development programmes for its staff and informs and involves parents in solving discipline- related problems in school. There is a monitoring and follow-up of the students' social skills. At classroom levels, the teachers have a pro-active approach to discipline. Lastly, the turnover of teachers, high ratio of students, especially in primary classes and some strict rules at pre-primary level, were found to be the challenging factors.
