چاند مدھم ہے روشنی کم ہے

چاند مدھم ہے، روشنی کم ہے
خواب دھندلے ہیں، آنکھ بھی نم ہے

عمر حاضر جواں دلوں کا کھیل
عمرِ رفتہ عجیب سا غم ہے

زندگانی نثار تم پہ کروں
وار دوں تم پہ سب مگر کم ہے

زندگی! تیرے آستانے پر
موت آنے سے ایک ماتم ہے

دل بھی چاہے کہ زخم تازہ رہیں
وقت کی راگنی بھی مدھم ہے

جس قدر خواہشیں ہیں سینے میں
خضر کی عمر بھی ہمیں کم ہے

آئو ہم بھی گزار لیں لمحے
سانس رکتی ہے آخری دم ہے

تم فضاؔ ہو جہاں پہ چھا جائو
ہم دھواں ہیں ہمیں یہی غم ہے

فتنہ انکار حدیث کا ایک جائزہ

Human rights are an important issue of every century. The importance of this issue has increased immensely in this age of information and technology where every person is well aware of his rights, among which is social justice. Islam has designed rules and regulations for social justice. It has provided a well-balanced system for it, has made people aware of their social rights, and encouraged them to get those rights. The life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W are true reflections of a social justice system that is needed in this age. The Prophet’s last sermon delivered at the occasion of Hajjatul Wida is considered to be the first detailed charter of human rights. He mentioned in that sermon the value of life, property and the esteem of a human being. Islam urges Muslims to deal with women, the oppressed, orphans, those in debt, laborers, neighbors and non-Muslims with sympathy and equality. This article attempts to present the true teachings of Islam regarding social justice, in light of the Quran and the Prophet’s life.

Facilitating the Story Writing Skills of Students Using Pictures in an English Language Classroom

This action research aimed at exploring the facilitating role of pictures for story writing skills of students in an English language classroom. The study was carried out in an English language class of Grade 7 in a government girls’ school in the context of Karachi, Pakistan. An action research method was employed within the qualitative paradigm. Data were collected from an English language teacher and four students of Grade 7 using classroom teaching sessions, observations, semi-structured interviews, field notes, document analysis and reflective journals. Findings of this research revealed that pictures, when selected carefully and appropriately, played a pivotal role in enhancing students’ story writing skills. Also, the enhancement of students’ story writing skills depended on the teaching strategies and techniques adapted by the language teacher in teaching stories. The findings also indicated that apart from the fun and enjoyment of using pictures in teaching, they could also be used as effective tools for teaching writing in general and story writing in particular. The findings of the study will be beneficial for language teachers who are involved in teaching learning of stories across the globe in general and in Pakistani government schools in particular. Also, the study will be helpful for future researchers wishing to examine the teaching strategies used to improve the students’ story writing skills. Lastly, some recommendations for teaching and learning story writing skills and future research in this area have been provided in this research work.
