فرزند مولاناحبیب الرحمن شروانی

فرزند مولانا حبیب الرحمن خان شروانی

            ماہ گزشتہ میں ہماری مجلس کے دو محترم ارکان بلکہ اساطین کو ’’وداعِ عزیز‘‘ کے دو جانگزا صدمے برداشت کرنے پڑے، مولانا حبیب الرحمن خان شروانی کو اپنے ’’محبوب‘‘ فرزند کی مفارقت دائمی کا داغ اٹھانا پڑا اور حسام الملک نواب سید علی حسن خان کو اپنے برادر بزگوار نظام الملک نواب سید نورالحسن خان کی دائمی جدائی کا غم سہنا پڑا، یہ دونوں بزرگوار ہماری مجلس کے دست و بازو ہیں، ان کا صدمات سے دو چار ہونا ہمارے لئے لازمۂ غم اور داعیۂ ماتم ہے،

لایحزن اﷲ ’’الحبیب‘‘ فانّنی

لآخذ من حالاتہ بنصیب

            مرنے والوں کے لئے دعائے مغفرت انسان کے غم کا علاج نہیں، لیکن اس کی روحانی تشفی کا باعث ہے، اللھم الحقھما بالرفیق الاعلے۔ (سید سليمان ندوی، نومبر ۱۹۱۷ء)

 

Radical Feminism and its Major Socio-Religious Impact a Critical Analysis from Islamic Perspective

Women’s rights and freedom is one of the most debated subjects and the flash point of contemporary world. Women maintain a significant place in the society catered to them not only by the modern world but also by religion. Yet, the clash between Islamic and western civilization is that they have defined different set of duties for them. Islam considers women an important participatory member of the society by assigning them inclusive role, specifying certain fields of work to them, given the vulnerability they might fall victim to. Contrarily, Western world allows women to opt any profession of their choice regardless of tangible threats they may encounter. Apparently, the modern approach seems more attractive and favorable, but actually this is not plausible from Islamic point of view. Intermingling, co-gathering and sexual attraction of male and female are creating serious difficulties and problems for both genders, especially for women. Women are currently running many movements for their security, rights and liberties under the umbrella of “Feminism”. Due to excess of freedom and lack of responsibility, a radical movement came into existence which was named as ‘Radical Feminism’. This feminist movement is affecting the unique status of women in the whole world, especially in the west. This study seeks to explore radical feminism and its major impact on socio-religious norms in addition to its critical analysis from an Islamic perspective. Analytical research methodology will be adopted in this study with qualitative cum quantitative approach. This study reveals that the radical feminism has some notorious impacts on ethical, social and religious norms of the society, with especial reference to Muslims. Thus, it is a dire need of time to encounter these impact and consequences in the light of legal and moral approaches.

Determining a Role for Value Co-Creation in Social Marketing: Empirical Analysis of Social Services’ Branding

Social marketing has become a strategic tool to achieve business and social sustainability both in nonprofit and for-profit organizations. Primarily the concept implies application of marketing principles and techniques to induce behavior change towards social causes. Social marketing is predominantly employed by social services; however, commercial organizations have also begun to use it in marketing their services and products. Researchers have strongly supported the concept and recommended further exploration, arguing that social marketing has yet to see widespread effects of its application. In a country like Pakistan, communities at large hardly exhibit any tendency of recovery or improvement in their social problems, and this is mainly attributable to a lack of organized effort in the social sphere. In such circumstances there is a need to undertake researches in academic and professional circles to investigate how social problems may be addressed using the social marketing approach. In this regard, this research has attempted to conceptualize a framework that could possibly be employed by social and commercial organizations for solving social issues of communities. Using grounded theory, the study explored the phenomenon of value co-creation as it would relate to social marketing, defining and substantiating its various dimensions which might help social services to effectively approach the communal problems of communities. The research also yielded that the emergent value co-creation construct could contribute to the development of social brands. An empirical research was conducted on two social services operating in the country. One social service was from the health sector, while the other was a microfinance organization providing iii interest free loans to the underprivileged segments of society. The study comprised two main phases. In the first phase qualitative data was gathered using focus group discussions. The findings of this phase were further deliberated through the second phase where the data was gathered based on convenience sampling to validate the findings of the first phase. The study revealed that independent participation, interaction, and engagement of social services’ stakeholders tend to be manifested in their expressions, experiences and actions, and that these in turn indicate the presence of key value drivers of trust, commitment, deliverance and relationships. These outcomes were derived from eight key variables synchronized through communication, which culminated in the value co-creation framework. Thus, the construct of value co-creation defines the application of social marketing to a social service in order to transform it into an effective and achieving entity.
