اے ربِ رحیم و کریم۔۔۔!
اِن اللہ علی کلِ شیئٍ قدیر!
میں خانہ بدوش ، سیلانی ، آوارہ!
تیری زمیں پر۔۔۔تیرے موسموں کے ساتھ محوِ سفر ہوں
تو کریم۔۔۔سبز موسم کا لباس پہن کر!
تو رحیم۔۔۔خوشبو کی طرح روح میں اُتر کر!
میرے تڑپتے سسکتے دل کو۔۔۔!
اپنی آغوش میں لے کر۔۔۔اپنے ہاتھوں سے سہلاتا ہے
دشتِ بیاباں میں دل فریب آہو بلا کر !
ستاروں کی سرگوشیوں میں!
نرم ٹھنڈی ریت پر سلا کر!
میرے خیالوں کے، حوالوں کی بدکتی ناقہ کو وحشتوں سے نجات دلاتا ہے
میرے تڑپتے سسکتے دل کو!
اپنی آغوش میں لے کر ، اپنے ہاتھوں سے سہلاتا ہے
تو ہی خالق۔۔۔ تو ہی مالک۔۔۔!
تیری کائنات میں اسرار جبرائیل ؑ کے ثبوت موجود ہیں
نیاز الہام اور قلب نامہ بری کے!
چراغ نور کی روشنی میں مظہر خلیلؑ کے ثبوت موجود ہیں
تو مجھے بزم رقص سے۔۔۔!
کوہ قبیس کی طرف لسان شعور کے لہجے میں بلاتا ہے
مسافتوں کے مارے دل کو!
اپنی آغوش میں لے کر، اپنے ہاتھوں سے سہلاتا ہے
تیری وجہ سے
لوح و قلم کو بھی ۔۔۔اپنے ہونے کا یقین ہے
تو ہی ’’وھو علی کل شی ئٍ قدیر۔۔۔وھو علی بِکل شی ئٍ علیم‘‘ ہے
صبح و شام میرے ارادوں کو۔۔۔تو اپنی پہچان کرواتا ہے
مسافتوں کے مارے دل کو!
اپنی آغوش میں لے کر ۔۔۔اپنے ہاتھوں سے سہلاتا ہے

The Role of Values in Social Change: An Analysis from The Qur’ānic Perspective

In the post-industrial revolution world, social change is often studied and understood in the context of change in means of production, mobility, urbanization and change in the constitution of workforce. Role of ethical values is generally confined to personal conduct and manners. Industrial society is supposed to have its own work ethics which may or may not agree with personal ethics and morality. Ethics and morality are generally considered, in the Western thought, as a social construct. Therefore, with the change in means of production or political system, values and morality are also expected to be re-adjusted in order to cope with the changed environment. Sometimes a totally new set of values emerges as a consequence of the change in economic, political, or legal set up. The present research tries to understand the meaning and place of these values in a global socio-cultural framework. Relying essentially on the divine principles of the Qur'ān it makes an effort to understand relevance of these universal and ultimate principles with human conduct and behavior in society.  It indicates that essentially it is the core values, principles, or norms which guide human beings in their interpersonal, social, economic and political matters. Islam being a major civilizing force, culture, and the way of life, provides values which guide both in individual and social matters. The values given by the Qur’ān and the Sunnah are not monopoly of the Muslim. These values are universal and are relevant in a technological society.

Exploring and Comparing Classroom Practices of Cbmp Trained and Non Trained Primary School English Language Teachers of Sindh

Developing quality English language teachers (EL T) at primary level has been a longstanding issue in Pakistan. Despite acknowledging this problem at policy and administrative levels, very little efforts have been made to improve the situation. In such a scenario, AKU-lED's STEP project initiated Cluster Based Mentoring Programme (CBMP) to provide continuous professional development to the selected in-service primary school teachers in 10 districts of Sindh and Balochistan. Through the CBMP first 130 mentors were developed through a customized diploma programme. The Mentors later developed a large number of teachers (Mentees) in their districts through rigorous trainings and follow-ups. The CBMP continued for five years and culminated in 2014. This research used mixed method and to explore the impact of CBMP training on the classroom practices of Mentee ELTs and compare their practices with a controlled group of teachers from the similar context who did not participate in the CBMP. The study was carried out in the three districts of Sindh where 40 Mentees' and 40 Non-Mentees' ELT lessons were observed. The quantitative data was collected by administering 'Classroom Observation Scale' while the qualitative findings were recorded as running notes, reflections and unstructured interviews. Non-Parametric Statistical test revealed that classroom practices of the Mentees are significantly better than the practices of Non-Men tees. However, the practices of Mentees yet remained in the category of mediocre practices. The performance of Non-Mentee were found to be weak compared with mentee teachers. Moreover, the findings also suggest that generally, English language is taught through old Grammar Translation Method and rote learning strategies. Further, teachers do not teach English language as skill or means of communication. The listening and speaking skills are also ignored. The research found that CBMP has been effective because it not only focused to improve the content or pedagogy knowledge but also helped teacher develop attitude, skills and relations. The study recommends creating the proper and continuous opportunities of in-service training for teachers in general and particular for ELTs.
