مولانا سید اسعد مدنی

مولانا سید اسعد مدنی ؒ
افسوس صد افسوس کہ ۶؍ فروری کو مولانا اسعد مدنی نے داعی اجل کو لبیک کہا، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون، ان کی وفات قوم و ملت کا بڑا خسارہ ہے۔
راقم نے انہیں کئی بار دیکھا اور اس حال میں دیکھا جب وہ صحت مند، توانا، تروتازہ، متحرک اور جوش عمل سے سر شار تھے لیکن ملاقات کا شرف دو تین بار ہی حاصل ہوا، مارچ ۱۹۸۸؁ء میں ان کے والد بزرگوار مولانا سید حسین احمد مدنیؒ پر مسجد عبدالنبی نئی دہلی میں سمینار ہوا تھا جس کے کنویز ڈاکٹر رشید الوحیدی مرحوم تھے، اس میں پہلی بار ان سے شرف نیاز حاصل ہوا، بڑی بشاشت اور گرم جوشی سے ملے، آخری بار ۱۹۹۲؁ء میں سعودی سفارت خانے سے حج بیت اﷲ کا ویزا لینے گیا تو دفعتاً ان پر نظر پڑی، لپک کر ملا، دریافت کرنے پر اپنے کو بتایا تو قریب کی کرسی پر بیٹھنے کے لیے کہا اور کچھ دیر تک باتیں کیں، غالباً بیماریوں کا سلسلہ شروع ہوچکا تھا، اس لیے مجھے بہت مضمحل اور بجھے بجھے سے نظر آئے۔
مولانا اسعد صاحب ۵؍ نومبر ۲۰۰۵؁ء کو وہیل چیئر سے گرگئے، سر اور دماغ میں چوٹ آئی، عصر کی نماز کی تیاری کررہے تھے کہ بے ہوش ہوگئے اور دہلی کے اپولو اسپتال میں داخل کیے گئے جہاں تین ماہ تک موت و حیات کی کشمکش میں مبتلا رہنے کے بعد ۶ فروری کو ہزاروں لاکھوں عقیدت مندوں کو سوگوار اور اشک بار چھوڑ کر رفیق اعلا سے جاملے۔
اس وقت مسلمان بڑی ابتلا اور کشمکش کے دور سے گزر رہے ہیں، ملی قیادت کا میدان مولانا حفظ الرحمان مرحوم کے بعد ہی سے خالی چلا آرہا تھا، مولانا اسعد کی جرأت و بے باکی سے اس کی تلافی ایک حد تک ہوئی مگر ان کے اٹھ...

Islamic View of Leadership in the Perspective of the Article 62 and 63 of the Constitution and Ideological Orientations of Pakistan

There is a plenty of discussion upon the articles 62 and 63 of the constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Liberal groups deem Islamic clauses of the constitution particularly pertaining to the articles as unnecessary. On the other hand, conservative journalists and right wing social activists are raising their voices in the favor of these articles. Pakistan was established in the name of Islam. This research work is an attempt to have a glance on the Islamic view of leadership keeping in view the clauses of these two articles.

Understanding the Barriers to Contraceptive Use in Hiv-Positive Women of Child Bearing Age in Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania

Title: Understanding the barriers to contraceptive use among HIV-positive women of child bearing age in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania- a multi-site study Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived barriers to contraceptive use and identify the factors that influence contraceptive choice, as well as the relationship of these among HIV-positive women living in an urban population in Dar-es-Salaam Tanzania. Goals and Objectives: To determine the perceived barriers to contraceptive use among HIV-positive women of child-bearing age attending the Care Treatment Centres (CTCs) Tanzania and in the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) supported CTCs within Dar-es-salaam. Methodology: In a phenomenological approach the study adopted a cross-sectional study design that utilized qualitative methodology to assess HIV-positive women’s perceptions towards modern methods of contraception (including barrier, hormonal, permanent, and dual protection methods). It was a multi-sited study involving a selection of Management and Development for Health (MDH) supported CTCs whose focus is HIV/AIDS in women and children. The study population included all sexually active women of child bearing age (15-49) confirmed HIV-positive and attending the MDH supported CTC facilities within Dar-es-salaam. The study assumed pragmatic purposive strategic sampling in selecting participants. All participants who meet the inclusion criteria on signage of informed consent were subjected to either In-depth Interviews or Focused Group Discussions. Data collected was transcribed based on emergent themes and analysed using Nvivo 9 qualitative analysis software. During data analysis, stigma was identified as an issue cutting across all other themes. As a result a further analysis of the data was undertaken using Erving Goffman’s Conceptualization of stigma as the analytical framework. Ethical considerations: The study commenced once ethical approval and considerations were met by governing bodies of the Aga Khan University East Africa as well as the National Institute of Medical Research Tanzania. Timeline: The study was carried out from January 2012-April 2014. Results: The study identified eight barriers to contraceptive use: social and healthcare relationships, a woman’s current priorities in particular concerning motherhood, her beliefs about HIV/contraception/menstruation, her stage of acceptance of her HIV diagnosis, her own and other women’s previous experiences with various contraceptive methods, the knowledge she has on them and her access to these methods. Stigma was an underlying issue seen to cut across all these barriers and the subsequent theoretical analysis showed stigma to be a core issue reinforcing all barriers for the HIV-positive woman’s appropriate use of contraception.
