پروفیسر رشید الظفر

پروفیسر رشید الظفر مرحوم
گزشتہ ماہ یہ افسوسناک خبر ملی کہ جامعہ ہمدرد دہلی کے لائق وائس چانسلر پروفیسر رشید الظفر کا انتقال ایک حادثہ میں ہوگیا، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔ وہ سعودی عرب کے سفر پر تھے، جہاں ریاض اور ظہران کی شاہراہ پر ان کی گاڑی کو حادثہ پیش آیا اور اس طرح یہ سفر ان کے لیے سفرِ آخرت بن گیا۔
وہ مسلم یونیورسٹی کے قابل فخر طالب علم تھے، ان کے والد پروفیسر حفیظ الرحمن بھی اسی یونیورسٹی کے شعبہ قانون کے ممتاز اساتذہ میں تھے، انہوں نے انجینئرنگ کی تعلیم حاصل کی، خاص مضمون اسٹرکچرل انجینئرنگ تھا، اس میں بیرون ملک کی دانش گاہوں سے بھی استفادہ کیا اور اعلیٰ سندیں حاصل کیں، معلم و متعلم کی حیثیت سے ان کی زندگی قابل رشک اور مثالی رہی، صرف ۳۱ سال کی عمر میں وہ مسلم یونیورسٹی میں سول انجینئرنگ کے پروفیسر ہوگئے، بعد میں انہوں نے اس موضوع پر بین الاقوامی شہرت و مقبولیت حاصل کی، چنانچہ ظہران کی پیٹرولیم یونیورسٹی میں جہاں عالم اسلام کے ممتاز ترین ماہرین فن کو یکجا کرنے کی سعی کی جاتی ہے ان کا بحیثیت پروفیسر تقرر ہوا اور وہاں انہوں نے برسوں نہایت خوبی سے تعلیم و تدریس کے فرائض انجام دیے، چند برس قبل جب دہلی میں ہمدرد یونیورسٹی کی شکل میں محترم جناب حکیم عبدالحمید دہلوی کا خواب شرمندہ تعبیر ہوا تو حکیم صاحب کی جو ہرشناس نگاہ ان پر پڑی اور وہ اس جامعہ کی وائس چانسلری کے عہدہ پر فائز ہوئے اور اپنی جانکاہی و جاں سوزی، خاموش خدمت اور مسلسل جہد و عمل سے نہایت قلیل مدت ہی میں بڑی نیک نامی حاصل کی، اپنی مادر علمی مسلم یونیورسٹی کے اعلیٰ مقاصد سے ہمیشہ خاص ربط و تعلق رکھا اور جب بھی اس پر کوئی آنچ آئی تو...

غیر مسلم اقلیتوں کے حقوق کا اسلامی فلسفہ: قرآنی تناظر میں تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Islamic Philosophy of the Rights of Non-Muslims Minorties: An Analysis in Qur’ᾱnic Perspective Islam is complete code of life for entire humankind. According to the Holy Quran all human beings have been created from a single person (Adam). By birth all are equal and have all fundamental rights irrespective of their religion. If a group is numerically inferior to the rest of the population of state in a non-dominant position, will not be considered minority according to Quran. Quran classify people into two different categories: believers and non-believers on the base of their belief instead of numerical value. Minorities enjoy all fundamental rights and freedoms in Islamic territory. This article demonstrates in the light of Quran that Islam does not discriminate between Muslims and non-Muslims in the matter of rights and will clarify the objection of western propaganda that Islam is rigid for non-believers. There are different types of Non-Muslims living in Islamic state as minority. According to Quran, concept of minority is unique, minority does not mean inferior in number. This paper will reveal the types of minorities and their specific rights along with their basic rights too. It has been concluded that Islam is only religion which offers basic human rights at the level of equality irrespective their religion.

Measuring the Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes of Grade Ten Students of Citizenship Education in Government and Private Schools of Karachi, Pakistan

A critical aspect of citizenship education is the preparation of students for an informed, responsible and participative role in the society. There is a widespread acceptance in literature that preparation for effective citizenship can be achieved through citizenship education at school that can help each new generation develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will equip them to have good life as adults and, as well as to become democratic citizens. This study therefore measures the extent to which citizenship knowledge, skills and attitudes are developed in grade ten students of private and government schools of Karachi, Pakistan for gauging the extent of preparedness of young learners for taking up their future roles as democratic citizens. To achieve the purpose of the research study, a cross-sectional survey with the aid of an adopted and modified questionnaire was conducted in 16 schools selected from 4 towns of Karachi through a one-stage stratified cluster sampling across school systems: Government and Private, to collect data from 267 grade ten students. The findings from the study although demonstrate that private school students have outperformed the government school students on citizenship knowledge, skills and attitudes but as a whole, students of both the school system are lagging behind in terms of citizenship knowledge, skills and attitudes to act as effective democratic citizens in future. This study has identified some opportunities and the inefficiency of schools in this context to provide such opportunities sufficiently to students, both inside and outside classrooms to enhance their citizenship learning, have caused them to lag behind in terms of citizenship knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to nurture them as democratic citizens. Finally, the study has revealed parents through their education and home literacy resources to act as significant predictor in enhancing citizenship learning of students. As such it has highlighted strong recommendations for parents and other stakeholders to be followed in order to cultivate children as informed and active citizens.
