Preface

Before the creation of Pākistān, there were multiple points functional as circles of Qur’ānic Durūs. Among these, Dars-e- Qur’ān by Sheikh al Tafsīr Maulānā Aḥmad ‘Alī Lāhorī (d:1381A.H/1962A.D) was of a distinguished standing. Scholars from remote areas of Delhī, Luckhnow, and even of Deobund used to come over here for the genesis of the Qur’ān. Among these personalities is Maulānā Akhlāq Ḥusain Qāsmī of Delhī as well as the famous and great literary figure of the Islamic World Maulānā Abu’l-Ḥasan ‘Alī Nadvī (d:1420A.H/1999A.D). Maulānā ‘Alī Mian made a mention of it in the session of ‘Ālmī Rābitah al Adab al   Islāmī in 1999 A.D at Lāhore. He said,“I confess with pride that I have gained a lot from Maulānā Aḥmad ‘Alī Lāhorī”. Moreover, these were not only the orthodox scholars who benefited from Ḥaḍrat Lāhorī but a large number of modern scholars were also on his panel as well-wishers. The name of the famous literary and scholarly figure Dr. Syed ‘Abdallāh (d:1406-A.H/1986A.D) may be quoted as an example. Prior to and after the creation of Pākistān, out of many distinguished Qur’ānic Circles, a few of these are particularly worth mentioning:

Maulānā Abu’l-Ḥasanāt Qādrī (Masjid-e-Wazīr Khān)

Maulānā Dāwūd Ghaznavī (Chuniān Wālī Masjid)

Maulānā Ghulām Murshid (Bādshāhī Masjid)

Maulānā ‘Abdallāh Farūqī  (Delhi Muslim Hotel, Old Anār Kalī)

Maulānā Maudūdī (‘Abd al-Karīm Road, Qil‘ah Gojar Singh).

Dr.  Isrār Aḥmad was also one of the links in the chain; he established Circles of Durūs-e- Qur’ān not only in Lāhore but in the entire country and invested all his potential to make the message of the Qur’ān so public. This book highlights his services and thoughts. There are five chapters in the book. The first chapter is entitled “Dr. Isrār...

تفسیر روح المعانی میں امام آلوسی کا منہج: ایک تحقیقی جائزہ

To understand the commentary of the Holy Qurân is a complex matter. Since the time of Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) till date the commentators have come to interpret the Holy Qurân for general public so that they should not face any difficulty to understand it. The Muhadithen made a separate chapter for Tafseer. In 19th century Imam Alusi (R.A) wrote a detailed commentary of the Holy Qurân. In this article I will produce a brief introduction of Imâm Alūsī (R.A) and his Tafseer. This paper touches the methodology of tafseer of Imam Alūsī (R.A) and the principles adopted by him.

Students’ Understandings of Selected Concepts in Chemistry and the Effectiveness of Constructivist Approach Towards Promoting Conceptual Change

The main objective of this research study is to explore students conceptions and to promote conceptual change through application of constructivist approach. This dissertation will develop an awareness of the existence of high frequencies of alternative conceptions in science students at secondary level. The population of the study was secondary schools boys and girls (classes 9 and 10) of government schools of Lahore city. The research study accomplished in three phases. In phase-I, the sample of the study was consisted of 120 subjects of class 10 randomly selected to explore students understanding as an evidence of high frequencies of alternative conceptions to conduct experimental research study in phase-III. The phase-II was the establishment of constructivist teaching strategy for the experimental treatment to the subjects in phase-III. The phase-III was consisted of randomly selected sample of 440 male and female students of class 9 from four public schools. Experimental treatment and measure of conceptual change was carried out. Four basic concepts of chemistry were selected, such as composition of matter, solutions, chemical bondings and chemical change. Total 527 subjects were probed through Interview about Instances (IAI) or Interview About Event (IAE) research instruments in both phases (I & III). Total 26 instances/non-instances /events about all the four selected concepts were used to explore students understandings of each subjects. The reliability of the instrument (IAI & IAE) was determined by Cohan Kappa through inter-rater reliability. Content validity was established by experts. Overall high frequencies of alternative conceptions or lower frequencies of scientific responses were obtained from the boys and girls subjects of class 10 and class 9 (control groups). These both groups were taught through traditional textbook approach. Although, there is relatively low frequency of alternative conceptions in girls than boys. But overall high proportion of alternative conceptions in boys/girls at secondary level is big challenge for science educators. However, low frequency of the alternative conceptions in experimental groups of both boys and girls determined the effectiveness of constructivist approach towards promoting conceptual change.
