Translator’s Note

Any translation of the Qur’an is a human effort and cannot be a substitute for the ‘Arabic Qur’an’ - the spoken word of Allah – the One and Only God of everyone and everything.

Allah says: ‘Surely this is a Glorious Qur’an inscribed on the Preserved Tablet’ Q.85:21-22. He has taken the responsibility to guard it against the corruption of its Sacred Arabic Text - Q.15:09.

Millions of Muslims across all age groups have memorized the Qur’an and will continue to do so till the end of time. Its composition of 6,666 Ayat/Statements has distinguished it as the only book in human history to have been preserved in its original form. None of the other Divine Scriptures can claim that to be the case.

While translations in different languages can help in the expression of specific concepts, they fail to capture the essence of the Sacred Arabic Text. Hence, narrowing down the meaning of the Qur’an to specific concepts in a foreign language would mean missing out on certain important nuances in the language; a fact that must be kept in mind while reading any translation of the Qur’an.

Arabic is a Semitic language - the only language which has remained relevant and entirely unchanged during the last fifteen centuries.

The difference between the Arabic idiom from the English one is a matter of its syntactic cast and the mode in which it conveys ideas. It is exclusively due to the extreme flexibility of Arabic grammar, owing to the peculiar system of verbal ‘roots’ and the numerous stem forms which can be derived from them.

بیع سلم میں تلفیق بین المذاہب کی فعالیت: هيئة المحاسبة کے فتاوی کا تحقیقی جائزہ

To juxtapose various components in one issue or various issues, and to adopt various jurists’ points of views is called “Talfiq.” In the present radical age of science and technology, each and every social faculty is being radicalized particularly in finance; there are certain complications in the monetary systems of various countries. In this scenario, to concentrate on one school of thought and deduce the solution of these financial issues has now become impossible. That is why, Majlis-e-Shar’ii concentrate on “Talfiq between different school of thoughts”, where various parallel issues are solved. The Majlis has prepared a sharia standard where practicable and beneficial financial issues are elaborated. The jurists have elaborated various principles of “Bae-e-Salam”, and presented various relevant issues taking the insight from various scholars of Maliki, Hanafi, Shafi and Hambli schools of thoughts and focused on “Talfiq”. The present research paper the decrees related to Talfiq will be explored, where the jurists have adopted it. Whether it is allowed or prohibited. If it is allowed, to what extent?

Investigating the Relationship Between Students Digital Literacy and Their Attitude Towards Using Ict

This study aimed to explore the relationship between secondary school students’ digital literacy and their attitude towards using information and communication technology across three private secondary schools in Karachi, Pakistan. This study focuses on three major themes: students’ attitude towards using information and communication technology (ICT), digital literacy (DL) and the relationship between DL and attitude towards using ICT controlling for general and ICT related demographics. For this study, a survey questionnaire was developed by adapting two surveys related to attitude and DL. An attitude related questionnaire was adapted from Edmunds, Thorpe and Conole (2012) to investigate attitude and the DL questionnaire was adapted from online European Commission Digital Literacy (ECDL) to find students level of DL. An online version of the tool was used for data collection, and the data were collected through google forms. Additionally, focus group discussions were held to have deeper and richer data that would justify the results of the statistical analysis. The total sample size for this study was 344 secondary school students. About 50% of the participants were female. The results show that the participants’ attitude towards using ICT in education is positive regardless of their general and ICT related demographic characteristics. The analysis of the results from the DL questionnaire reveals an adequate level of DL among students. A majority of the students has positive attitude and adequate level of DL. Correlation analysis revealed a significant association between DL and students’ attitude towards using ICT in education. In addition, attitude towards using ICT was found to be correlated with ICT related variables. Further analysis showed that use of the tablet and smartphone, prior training in the use of computer and frequency of computer use significantly affect students’ attitude towards using ICT. This study has highlighted the importance of ICT related demographics which contribute towards developing students’ attitude to use ICT and level of DL. Based on the findings it is suggested to further research students’ attitude to use ICT and identify school and individual level factors that influence attitude towards use of ICT and DL.
