مولانا صفی الرحمن مبارکپوری

مولانا صفی الرحمان مبارک پوری
بہ روز جمعہ یکم دسمبر ۲۰۰۶؁ء کو مرکزی جمعیۃ اہل حدیث ہند کے سابق امیر اور صاحب الرحیق المختوم مولانا صفی الرحمان مبارک پوری نے داعی اجل کو لبیک کہا، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
ضلع اعظم گڑھ میں مبارک پور پارچہ بافی کی صنعت کے لیے ایک مشہور قصبہ ہے جو علمی و تعلیمی حیثیت سے بھی ممتاز ہے اور یہ بعض بڑے علما و مصنفین کا مولد و مسکن بھی رہا ہے، مبارک پور سے متصل جانب شمال میں حسین آباد کی بستی میں مولانا صفی الرحمان صاحب ۱۹۴۲؁ء میں پیدا ہوئے۔
انہوں نے جامعہ فیض عام مؤ سے درس نظامی کی تحصیل کی اور اسی دوران الٰہ آباد بورڈ کے امتحانات مولوی اور عالم بھی پاس کئے، تعلیمی مرحلہ ختم کرنے کے بعد کئی مدارس میں تدریسی خدمات انجام دیں، ۱۹۷۱؁ء کی ہند و پاک کی جنگ کے زمانے میں وہ جامعتہ الرشاد سے وابستہ تھے، اس زمانے میں دارالمصنفین اکثر آتے اور کتب خانے سے استفادہ کرتے، مجھ سے اور مولوی ابوعلی عبدالباری صاحب مرحوم سے بہت بے تکلف ہوگئے تھے اور مختلف علمی ،دینی اور قومی و سیاسی مسائل پر گفتگو کرتے، اس سے ان کی ذہانت، قوت گویائی، اچھی صلاحیت اور مسائل حاضرہ سے باخبری کا انداز ہوتا، ہونہار بروا کے چکنے چکنے پات۔
مگر جامعۃ الرشاد سے ان کا تعلق بہت کم عرصے تک رہا اور بالآخر وہ اپنی اصلی جگہ پہنچ گئے یعنی جامعہ سلفیہ بنارس میں درس و تدریس کی خدمت انہیں تفویض کی گئی، یہاں ان کی مخفی صلاحیتیں جلاپانے لگیں، تقریر و خطابت کا ملکہ تو پہلے ہی سے ان میں نمایاں تھا، یہاں آکر قلم نے بھی گل کاریاں شروع کیں تو جامعہ کے ماہانہ رسالہ ’’محدث‘‘ کی ادارت کی ذمہ داری ان کو سپرد کی گئی جسے انہوں نے حسن...

A Proposed Islamic Microfinance Impact Assessment Methodology

Impact assessment of microfinance programs have been remained the foremost concern of microfinance stakeholders for optimal policy measures. The existing literature regarding the impact assessment varies from parametric to experimental methods to evaluate the performance of microfinance programs across the world however; the literature is lacking a single measure to reveal maximum possible changes in socioeconomic variables resulting from microfinance institutions’ intervention. This study aims to develop a composite index for evaluating the performance of microfinance programs in multi-dimensional contexts. The study exposes a set of eight “diverse indicators” to evaluate the performance of a microfinance program on a wider socioeconomic scale. The dimensions of the index are consist of economic (Income, saving) and socioeconomic (poverty, access to basic facilities, family empowerment) indicators. The changes in deprivations of household, based on the selected indicators, reveal the intensity of success of a microfinance program towards their goals. Finally, we have developed an index by the interaction of incidence and intensity of socioeconomic deprivations. The index is named as “Multidimensional Microfinance Deprivation Index”. This is an index developed in the same line as multidimensional poverty index. The implications of this study are three folds; firstly, it will open up a new dimension of literature in the field of microfinance including Islamic microfinance by instigating an important area. Secondly, it may provide a better alternative to microfinance’s stakeholders to investigate the impact assessment of microfinance programs on a wider socioeconomic scale rather than a few economic. Last but not the least, the study integrates diverse socioeconomic indicators, after assigning weights and adjustment to portray an overall picture of the performance of microfinance in terms of uplifting the socioeconomic conditions of the poor and financially marginalized people.

An Exploration of Motivation and Attitude of Teachers Towards English As Medium of Instruction on Rural Pakistan

An Exploration of Motivation and Attitude of Teachers Towards English As Medium of Instruction on Rural Pakistan History of medium of instruction in Pakistan is marked by alternations mainly between two languages i.e. Urdu and English, the former being its national while the latter official language. Lately, the government of Punjab took an ostensibly decisive step in this regard by imposing EMI (English as Medium of Instruction) for content subjects in all public sector schools of Punjab. It led to a complex situation because the teachers, expected to use EMI, are in no way different from EFL learners of any level in their proficiency. In view of this situation, the current study was designed to explore the motivation and attitude of the teachers of rural areas towards EMI policy of the Punjab government. A survey from six districts of Punjab (selected on the basis of Human Development Index) was conducted using triangulation as a data collection technique. Following convenience sampling 100 questionnaires were distributed among the teachers from each of the selected districts making it thus a total of 600 questionnaires overall. Interviews of 25 pricipals/incharges of the schools were conducted with at least three from each of the six districts. A hybridization of socio-educational model of R. C. Gardner and WTC (Willingness to Communicate) model by MacIntyre was used for theoretical grounding and for the purpose of instrumentation. Percentages and chi-square were used to find variation on the basis of gender, age and qualification. Correlation and regression analyses were used to discover the nature of relationship among the selected variables. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to confirm the path from motivation to WTC as hypothesized (but found not confirmed) by Yashima (2002). The path from motivation towards WTC was confirmed through SEM. Qualification was found to be the most important predictor of motivation. The teachers were discovered not to be motivated by any means at present. However, a predominantly optimistic view was found existent among the participants about the future of EMI. Training was pointed out as one of the most important requirements by the teachers. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that these teachers should be provided intensive language training to develop adequate proficiency.
