دل میں ایسا درد اٹھا ہے

دل میں ایسا درد اُٹھا ہے
سارا منظر چیخ رہا ہے

اُس کی یاد ہے دل سے گزری
دل میں کیا کیا شور مچا ہے

میری بات نہ مانے گا وہ
مجھ کو اُس کا خوب پتا ہے

دل اندر غم کی شدّت سے
خون کا اِک دریا بہتا ہے

یاد کے بوٹے سوکھ نہ جائیں
دل دریا پانی دیتا ہے

دل کی باتیں وہ کیا جانے
اُس کا دل تو پتھّر کا ہے

دل پر درد کا پتھّر رکھ کر
مجھ کو اُس جیسا بننا ہے

درد سے دل یہ بیٹھ نہ جائے
اب مجھ کو یہ ڈر لگتا ہے

جھوٹ تو بول نہیں سکتا میں
صادقؔ کا مطلب سچّا ہے

The article attempts to analyze the religious and legal practices inside Pakistan regarding the issue of the kitabiyyah mother and ḥaḍanah of any Muslim child. The discussion primarily addresses the major issues emphasizing kitabiyyah mother and her relatives’ right to retain the custody of the Muslim child, and duration of ḥaḍanah under the supervision of kitabiyyah mother in shari‘ah and Pakistani Family Laws. Furthermore, it argues that kitabiyyah mother is permitted to raise the Muslim child according to her faith under both Islamic and Pakistani Family Laws. The article is delimited to the opinions of four Sunni schools of thoughts, Statute law, and Case laws. Nonetheless, in-depth comparative analysis has been carried out in most persuasive way to examine the rules related to kitabiyyah mother in custody of Muslim child after divorce under both Islamic Law, and Case Laws in Pakistan. Additionally, the existing similarities and differences consequent to religious differences have also been appropriately figured out to point out plausible way forward to address prevailing schism.

Exploring the Leadership Practices of Effective Teacher Leaders at a Private and a Public Secondary School in Giltgit-Baltistan

This study was conducted in two secondary schools, one belonging to a public and the other belonging to a private school system, in Gilgit-Baltistan. The primary participants of this study were four teacher leaders, two males and two females. I selected them through purposive sampling. Moreover, two groups of students, two community members and two head teachers from both the schools were selected as secondary participants. I used the qualitative case study methodology to explore the practices of participant teachers in the classroom, school and community through in- depth interviews, focus group discussions and classroom observations. These multiple data sources allowed me to explore the practices of participant teachers in the three realms. The key findings of the study suggest that in their classrooms, participant teachers strive to promote in- depth student learning using student-centred teaching as well as innovative methods of teaching and building close relationship with the students. In the school, they develop a cooperative and collegial environment by changing the existing practices and taking new initiatives such as teamwork and support. In the community realm, they try to develop a good relationship among the school, parents and the wider community. They develop linkages between parents, youth, management and school and also participate voluntarily in social services in the community for community development. In sum, implications of these findings for teachers, school or system are presented as recommendations. Teachers should develop a shared learning culture among their colleagues and develop a collaborative culture in the school and the management should provide teachers with the skills and knowledge necessary for continued instructional improvement which ultimately, enhances student learning.
