ماحول کی آلودگی

ماحول کی آلودگی
اللہ تعالیٰ قادرِ مطلق ہے، ہرشخص کے رزق کی ذمہ داری اس نے خود لے رکھی ہے، اس نے اس کے بیٹھنے،اُ ٹھنے، چلنے پھرنے کے کچھ قاعدوں اور کلیوں کا قرآن و حدیث کی شکل میں تعین کر دیا ہے، اور اسلام جو اُس وحدہٗ لاشریک کے نزدیک پسندیدہ دین ہے، گو انسان کے لیے مکمل ضابطہ قرار دیا ہے۔ جہاں دیگر مذاہب میں ماحول کو صاف ستھرا رکھنے پر زور دیا گیا ہے، وہاں اسلام میں بھی اس کی تاکید کی گئی ہے۔ جب آلود ہ، آلودگی، آلائش قسم کے الفاظ نظروں کے سامنے متحرک یاساکت صورت میں ہوتے ہیں تو بغیر کسی ظاہری تعفّن کے بغیر کسی نظر آنے والی عفونت کے دماغ کے جملہ گوشوں کومتعفن کر دیتے ہیں۔ جب یہ غیر مرئی تصورات ،خیالات ، دماغی آلودگی کا سبب بنتے ہیں، تو مادی شکل میں موجود آلودگی کا وجودکتنا قابل نفرت ہوگا۔
آلودگی کے تصور کو ہم نے محدود کر دیا ہے کوئی چیز اگر اپنی اصلی اورحقیقی شکل میں موجود نہ ہو تو وہ آلودگی کی آمیزش کا شکار ہے۔ اُس میں آلائش شامل ہے وہ نہ صرف منحوس وجود سے اپنے آپ کو نقصان پہنچاتی ہے بلکہ اس کی زد میں آنے والی گردو پیش کی اشیاء بھی متاثر ہوتی ہیں۔ اللہ تعالیٰ نے انسان کو اشرف المخلوقات بنایا اور اُس کو شرف، عظمت، بزرگی کے زیور سے آراستہ اور مزیّن فر مایا، اور اس کو اپنی صورت پر پیدا فرمایا۔ گلستان ہستی میں چلنے والی بادِنسیم ، در یائوں، سمندروں، بحروں اور بحیروں کی لہروں سے پیدا ہونے والی کھڑ کھڑاہٹ ، صحراؤں کی سنسناہٹ ، فضاؤں کی سرسراہٹ، سورج کی چمک، ستاروں کی دمک، چاند کی چاندنی ، تو حید کی مئے سے مست ہونے والے کی راگنی ، نرگس و گلاب کی پتیوں پر...

Muslim-Christian Dialogue from Pakistani Perspective: Evaluation of the Contribution of Christian Study Center

The twentieth century is considered as the most notable era for interfaith dialogue and other interreligious activities among the followers of different faiths across the globe. A number of interfaith activities were launched to bring closer, especially, the adherents of the Abrahamic faiths: Jews, Christians and Muslims. Many Christian institutes and organizations are actively involved in such activities. We cannot ignore the role of Christian Study Centers situated across the globe, which are rendering considerable services in the field of interfaith dialogue. One of them is the Christian Study Center Rawalpindi (CSC), Pakistan, which is the focal subject of this research paper. The CSC has a long journey in the course of interfaith dialogue and harmony, as it was its objective since its commencement. The CSC was established in 1967 as an extension of HMI (Henry Martyn Institute, Hyderabad India) to promote interfaith dialogue, harmony and good relationship among the followers of different faiths in Pakistan. It is conceded; the Christian Study Center Rawalpindi has provided great services and contributed a lot to interfaith dialogue, harmony and peace in Pakistan. In this study the efforts were made to evaluate the 50 years dialogical activities of the Christian Study Center (CSC), Rawalpindi.

Gender Roles Redefined in Bharati Mukherjee's Novels

Gender Roles Redefined in Bharati Mukherjee's Novels This qualitative study is based on theoretical paradigms of feminism and gender. Hence feminism is my research methodology whereas textual and discourse anylysis are used as research method. Taking postcolonial feminist perspective, Bharati Mukherjee’s two novels, Jasmine and Desirable Daughters, are analysed in the light of theories presented by Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler: two feminists and gender theorists. Beauvoir’s ideas such as women as the Other, existence precedes essence, one is not born but becomes a woman, emancipation of women, and art of living are applied to the text of the selected novels. Similarly, Butler’s concepts of gender performativity, gender as an act and gender as a choice are analysed. According to Beauvoir and Butler, gender is a process of construction by society and culture. Here Indian and American societies are focused to study gender roles. Attempt is made to point out various factors that lead towards change in gender roles. The women characters and their lives in two different cultures are given a very detailed scrutiny. Problems faced by the women in India and then in the immigrant world of America are highlighted. Mukherjee’s female protagonists pass through a series of transformations to find their identities. This study also reveals limitations on gender choice and the process of finding gender identity. Effort is made to prove that women can live independently as a subject by making choices and developing a moral self. Mukherjee’s female as well as male characters change their roles. Hence gender roles redefinition is explained through my research study. At first, by deriving principles from the theories of Beauvoir and Butler, research hypothesis is made. Then research questions are formulated to prove the research hypothesis. Related literature is reviewed in detail so as to provide validity and authenticity to my research. The selected theoretical principles are then applied to the texts of both novels to test the research hypothesis. Examples are taken from both novels and texts are analysed in the light of views presented by theorists and critics. Using inductive mode of research inquiry; giving examples at first, deductions are made at the end and on the basis of research findings, conclusion is drawn.
