جہانِ رنگ و بو سب عارضی ہے


جہانِ رنگ و بو سب عارضی ہے
نبیؐ کے عشق کا رنگ دائمی ہے

بیانِ وصفِ یکتائیِ گُل سے
چمن زارِ سخن میں دلکشی ہے

بہ فیضِ مدحِ ممدوحِ اِلٰہیؐ
خدا کی ہم نوائی مل گئی ہے

وہی شمس الضحیٰ ، بدرالدجیٰ ہیں
اُنہی کی چار سُو جلوہ گری ہے

کھلے گا غنچۂ شوقِ تمنّا
مری اُمید کی کونپل ہری ہے

کہیں گے ان شاء اللہ ایک دن ہم
’’مدینے تک رسائی مل گئی ہے‘‘

ملا جس ذات سے عرفانِؔ کامل
مرے ایمان کا حاصل وہی ہے

مکی سورتوں میں مدنی اور مدنی سورتوں میں مکی آیات کا ورود؛ ایک تحقیقی جائزہ The arrival of Macan Verses in Madani Surahs and Madani verses in Macan Surahs: A research review

The Holy Quran has been compiled in the order of detention; that is, the Holy Prophet himself gave instructions to the Companions about which verse to place and where he completed the Quran in the same order. He included Madani verses in some Macan Surahs, which may be due to the completion of subjects or the merging of similar verses and the continuation of the Quranic verse on which the commentators have different views. Some verses were revealed in Makkah after the Hijrah, but they are present in the Madani Surah according to the present order of detention. Similarly, the verses revealed during the journey, which were revealed in areas far from Madinah, the place of Mina and Arafat, and the journey to Meraj, are the verses of Mecca, even though they were revealed after the migration. The verses that were revealed during the migration were also included in the Macan Surahs and after the migration, you traveled hundreds of miles away from Madinah and the verses that were revealed at these places were Madani or Macan. If they were Madani, then why were they kept in Macan Surahs. Why was this done and what are the reasons for it? Is it not such an arrangement to invalidate the inspired Word? Was it a different order than the inspired one? Is it not possible to take these verses from the surahs in which these verses were revealed or to place them in other surahs, to spoil the connection of the previous surahs, or to leave their subjects incomplete? The article under discussion will discuss the topics, discussions, introduction of the verses, details, and reasons for placing the verses in their place in the Macan Surahs and the order and contextual context of these verses. An analytical study of the reasons for separation will be presented.  

Analysis of Conflict Management Styles: A Cross Cultural Study of Mangers in Azad Kashmir

This research endeavor is aimed at identifying the conflict management style? preference of Pakistanis and Chinese managers working together in hydropower projects, which are being executed in Azad Kashmir. This study also explores the role of national culture dimensions in the choice of conflict management style of its followers. It seeks to answer the question, whether the dimensions of a certain national culture, plays vital role in the choice of conflict management style of its followers, especially when they are working in multicultural work environment? The constructs in the research model were operationalized with the help of two measures; Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory (ROCI) and Cultural Values Scale (CVSCALE). The former is used to identify the preferred conflict management styles of Pakistani and Chinese managers and the later assesses Hofstede?s cultural dimensions at individual level. A sample of 201 Pakistanis and Chinese was drawn by means of a convenient sampling technique. Respondents were surveyed via close ended questionnaire through emails and in person. Descriptive statistics, correlation, t-test and linear regression were applied to tests the hypothetical relationship by using SPSS. The study results reveal that Chinese and Pakistanis managers prefer to use avoiding and compromising style, respectively. Managers from both nationalities are higher power distant, collectivist and masculine; however, Chinese managers fall on higher side of the continuum of these three dimensions, against their Pakistani counterparts. The findings further depicts that Pakistanis managers are risk averse and Chinese managers are risk taker. The strong and significant regression results bolstered our research argument that national culture dimensions (power distance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, and uncertainty avoidance) are the major determinants of the choice of conflict management style of managers. Finding of the research output augment our understanding of Pakistani and Chinese culture and how these cultures shape the conflict management strategy of their followers. This enhanced understanding is instrumental in embracing diversity at work place and managing its negative effects.Further, it mitigates the adverse effects of the destructive conflicts at culturally diverse workplace, which is curial to success and failure of these organization /projects. This research adds values to existing literature on conflict management styles in Pakistan as no effort has been made earlier, which jointly explores the conflict handling style of Pakistani and Chinese managers, along with, investigating the role of Hofstede? national culture dimensions in choice of management styles, especially when Chinese and Pakistani are working together in a home- foreign land setting.
