استاد محمد احمد دہمان

استاذ محمد احمد دہمان
استاذ محمد احمد دہمان کا شمار دمشق کے ان علماء میں ہوتا ہے، جنہوں نے عربی زبان و ادب کی نشاء ثانیہ کے لیے اپنے کو وقف کردیا تھا، وہ ۱۸۹۹؁ء میں دمشق میں پیدا ہوئے، ان کے والد شیخ احمد دہمان بھی ایک مشہور قاری و عالم تھے، محمد احمد دہمان کی تعلیم و تربیت دمشق میں ہوئی، ان کے اساتذہ میں شیخ ابوالخیر میدانی متوفی ۱۹۶۱؁ء اور شیخ محمد قطب متوفی ۱۹۲۷؁ء بھی ذی علم اور صاحب فضل و کمال تھے لیکن وہ سب سے زیادہ متاثر شیخ عبدالقادر بدر ان کی شخصیت سے ہوئے جو ایک وسیع النظر عالم اور مصلح قوم تھے، انہوں نے ابن عساکر کی شہرہ آفاق تاریخ دمشق کی ترتیب و تدوین کے علاوہ منادمۃ الاطلال و سامرۃ الخیال کے نام سے ایک اہم کتاب بھی تالیف کی تھی، شیخ محمد قطب مظلوم طبقہ کے حامی تھے اور ان کے لئے عدل و انصاف کی آواز بھی بلند کرتے تھے جس کی وجہ سے انہیں مصائب و آلام سے دو چار ہونا پڑا۔ علم و عمل کی اس جامع شخصیت نے استاذ دہمان کو بہت متاثر کیا۔ چنانچہ ان کے عہد شباب میں جب مدارس کے مقاطعہ اور تعلیم کو ترک کرنے کی ایک تحریک چلی تو انہوں نے اس کی سخت مزاحمت کرنے کے لیے ایک رسالہ ’’المصباح‘‘ جاری کیا، بعد میں ان کے بلند پایہ مضامین مجلہ التمدن الاسلامی اور مجلہ مجمع العلمی العربی میں برابر چھپتے رہے، انہوں نے مدرسہ عادلیہ میں اسلامی علوم کا شعبہ قائم کیا، جہاں دوسرے اہل فکر و نظر کے علاوہ وہ خود بھی عربی ادب اور اسلامی تہذیب و تمدن کے موضوع پر مقالے پیش کرتے رہے، مقصد یہ تھا کہ نوجوان نسل فرانسیسی اور یورپی علم و تہذیب سے مرعوب نہ ہونے پائے۔ علوم اسلامی خصوصاً...

Updike’s Use of the Qur’anic Verses in Terrorist

This article exposes Updike’s use of the Qur’anic verses in his novel Terrorist. Apparently, the writer wants to investigate a Muslim terrorist’s mind, which causes him to launch deadly attacks against the American people. However, the results of Updike’s investigation are problematic and subjective. Updike seems to be a new Orientalist who manipulates the Qur’anic scripture to assert his mastery, neutrality and intolerance of Islam for non-believers. It proves that his presentation of Islam is based on stereotyped myths and lies. The narrator claims that the protagonist “Ahmad”, under the guidance of his religious teacher Sheikh Ahmed, inspired by the irrational and suppressed tone of the Qur’an, commits a suicide attack at Lincoln Tunnel but in the end, he is persuaded by his Jewish- school- councilor to discard this idea. Conclusively, it sounds that Updike fails to detach himself from his characters and misuses the Qur’anic verses to defend his pre-supposed ideology against Islam.

An Integrated Model of Psychological Entitlement and its Behavioral Outcomes: A Study of Service Sector of Pakistan

This research study examines the association between psychological entitlement and employee negative behavioral outcomes i.e. knowledge hiding behavior and instigated incivility accompanied by mediating role of abusive supervision perceptions. Furthermore, the intervening effect of job stress between psychological entitlement and instigated incivility is also analyzed. Apart from testing these underlying mechanisms, this study elaborates the moderating impact of hostile attribution bias on the association between psychological entitlement and abusive supervision perceptions. The buffering influence of rumination on the linkage between abusive supervision perceptions and two behavioral outcomes i.e. knowledge hiding behavior and instigated incivility is also analyzed. In addition, this research highlights that whether the sense of job calling moderates the positive impact of job stress on instigated incivility or not. Current study follows a sequential explanatory mixed method design where the first phase is quantitative in nature and the second phase is qualitative. In the quantitative phase of the study, data were gathered from 513 respondents in three time lags. Moreover, stratified random sampling technique was used for the stratification of the service sector followed by convenient sampling for data collection from the sample. In order to further explain and validate the quantitative results, unstructured one to one interviews from eight participants using the maximum variation sampling technique were conducted. Ten themes with corresponding subthemes were emerged in the qualitative phase. Integrated analysis of both phases was conducted at the end in the form of elaborate discussion. The quantitative results revealed that psychological entitlement is positively and significantly associated with knowledge hiding behavior and instigated incivility of employees. Furthermore, the mediating impact of abusive supervision perceptions and job stress were found significant. Moreover, the moderating impact of hostile attribution bias and job calling were also proved. However, the boundary level effect of rumination on the association between abusive supervision perceptions and knowledge hiding behavior and between abusive supervision perceptions and instigated incivility was found insignificant. The results of all the hypothesized relationships were further elaborated in the light of qualitative findings. The themes generated as a result of thematic analysis explained significant and insignificant findings of the quantitative phase. This research study also unfolded certain theoretical implications, practical implications and future research directions.
