مولانا حسرت موہانی

مولانا حسرتؔ موہانی
افسوس کہ آخر مولانا حسرت موہانی بھی چل بسے۔مولانا کی شخصیت کا پیکر دو چیزوں سے بنا تھاایک شعر وسخن اوردوسری سیاست۔سیاست اس پیکر کے ساتھ جسم کی نسبت رکھتی تھی، اس بناپر جب جسم مٹی میں ملاتوسیاست بھی فناہوگئی لیکن شعر و سخن اس پیکر کی روح تھی جو مرنے کے بعد باقی رہتی ہے اس لیے حسرت کی شاعری اب بھی زندہ ہے اورزندہ رہے گی۔
مرحوم سیاست میں کبھی ایک روش میں قایم نہیں رہے وہ کبھی کسی پارٹی میں شریک ہوئے کبھی کسی میں،ان کی سیاست کاآغاز کانگریس میں شرکت سے ہوا اور اس کاخاتمہ لیگ کے پُرجوش کارکن ہونے پر ہوگیا۔ان دونوں کی درمیانی مدت میں سیاسی اعتبار سے وہ کبھی کسی روپ میں نظر آئے اورکبھی کسی جامہ میں وہ دیکھے گئے لیکن ہرجگہ اورہرمقام پربیباک خلوص ان کا امتیازی وصف رہا۔ یہی وجہ ہے کہ جن لوگوں سے وہ سیاسی اختلاف رائے رکھتے تھے وہ بھی ان کی قدر کرتے اور ان کا احترام ملحوظ رکھتے تھے، وہ خواہ کسی رنگ اورکسی بھیس میں ہوتے ان کا اندازِ قدالگ سے الگ پہچان لیا جاتاتھا۔ ملک کی جدوجہد آزادی میں ان کا اتنا بڑا حصہ ہے کہ اس جدوجہد کی کوئی تاریخ مرحوم کے شاندار تذکرہ کے بغیر کامل نہیں ہوسکتی۔ ایک زمانہ تھا کہ حسرت کانام بچہ بچہ کی زبان پر تھا اورلوگ ان کے ایثار و قربانی،محنت وجفاکشی،برطانوی حکومت سے نفرت اور اس سلسلہ میں ان کی سخت ضداورہٹ کی داستانیں مزے لے لے کر اورجوش ومسرت کے ساتھ بیان کرتے تھے، لیکن مرحوم کے یہ وہ اوصاف وکمالات ہیں جن کو لوگوں نے خود ان کی زندگی میں ہی بھلا دیاتھا اوروہ آخر میں’’یوسف بے کارواں‘‘ہوکررہ گئے تھے۔

Tradition and Modernity within Islamic Civilization

Colonialism has impacted on Islamic Law as well as Islamic civilization. Islam has a dissonant relationship with modernity in that it agrees with central aspects of this epochal phenomenon and parts ways with others. The compatibility issues were raised by the Muslim thinkers. Many Muslim scholars have contributed to give an original understanding of message of Islam detached from sectarian influences. Traditions are considered to be the vehicle for the transference of factors to modernity with a strong role in determining power and culture of a civilization. Thus, they pave the way for the power tools of a civilization. The theories of Muslim scholars from Asia and Egypt are discussed to elaborate the Muslim understanding of facing the challenges of modernity. The contemporary scholars’ views are also added with an analysis of their observation on compatibility of Islam with modern era challenges and the criticism on it due to their modernity conception.

A Changing Profession: Examining Newsroom Roles and Skills in the Digital Age

This study examined how journalists can survive in the newsrooms in Kenya in the digital age. The study was guided by four research questions: (1) What are the emergent newsroom roles in the digital age? (2) What retooling and reskilling do media workers need to survive in the digital age? (3) How do journalists acquire the new skills? (4) What role has digital disruption played in the reorganisation of newsrooms? The study used two theoretical frameworks: The theory of disruptive innovations and de-professionalisation lens. The researcher conducted face to face in-depth interviews with eight journalists from four media houses namely: British Broadcasting Corporation (Nairobi office), Nation Media Group, Standard Group Ltd and Royal Media Services as well as two key informants. All the respondents were purposively selected. The study found out that digital disruption has created new roles in the Kenyan newsrooms which have been taken up by both journalists and non-journalists and that the disruption has necessitated reskilling and retooling of journalists and those who fail to adapt are eventually forced out of the newsrooms. The study also found out that most journalists are learning new skills on their own with media houses and media schools playing a peripheral role. This despite the fact that, as the study found out, the roles of ensuring journalists acquire new skills rest with individual journalists, media houses and Journalism Schools. Finally, the study found out that disruption has happened before in Kenyan media but digital disruption is different. While media houses have adapted well to past disruptions, this time around, digital disruption has not only forced some media houses to close down due to dwindling fortunes but has ended newsroom careers of many journalists. The study concluded that while most journalists are playing their part in responding to digital disruption, media houses and journalism schools are lagging behind. If this trend continues, it will keep hurting journalism more. The study recommends that media houses organise regular formal training for their journalists. Journalism schools should also update their training manuals to ensure their graduate transition seamlessly into the newsrooms. Media executives and administrators of journalism schools should also communicate regularly to ensure each side understands the needs of the other.
