مفتی محمد کفایت اﷲ دہلوی

آہ مفتی اعظم ہند!
[ مفتی محمد کفایت اﷲ دہلوی]
واحسرتا!۳۱/دسمبر۱۹۵۲ء کو شب کے ساڑھے دس بجے یعنی ٹھیک اس وقت جبکہ ایک سال شمسی اپنی حیات ِدوازدہ ماہ کی مقررہ مدت پوری کرکے ہمیشہ کے لیے گوشۂ عدم میں آسودۂ سکون ہوجانے کی تیاری کررہاتھا علم وعمل کے آسمان کاایک آفتاب عالم تاب غروب ہوگیا۔یعنی حضرتنا الاستاذ مولانا الحاج المفتی محمد کفایت اﷲ دہلوی نے اسّی (۸۰) سال کی لگ بھگ عمر میں داعی اجل کو لبیک کہہ کرجان جان آفریں کے سپرد کی!انا ﷲ واناالیہ راجعون۔
حضرت مفتی صاحب کا وجود گرامی اپنی چند درچند علمی وعملی خوبیوں اور گوناگوں دماغی واخلاقی کمالات کے باعث صرف ہندوستان اورپاکستان کانہیں بلکہ پورے عالم اسلام کاایک متاع گرانمایہ اورسرمایہ بلند پایہ تھا کہ آج اس کے اُٹھ جانے پرجتنا بھی ماتم اوراُس پر جتنا بھی افسوس کیاجائے کم ہے۔حضرت مولانا خودجلیل القدر بزرگ اوربزرگوں کی یادگار تھے، انہیں دیکھ کر اوراُن کی صحبت میں دوچار لمحے گزار کرسلف صالحین کی یادتازہ ہوتی تھی۔قدرت نے اُن میں دل اور دماغ دونوں کی خوبیاں اوران کے فضائل وکمالات کچھ اس طرح بیک وقت جمع کردیے تھے کہ اُن کی ہستی’’اے تومجموعۂ خوبی بچہ نامت خوانم‘‘کا مصداق بن گئی تھی۔ وہ ایک طرف بہت بڑے عالم،مفسر،محدث اورفقہیہ تھے تو دوسری جانب علوم عربیہ کے جامع تھے اور ان میں بہت ٹھوس استعداد رکھتے تھے۔ پھر معاملات میں سوجھ بوجھ اورسیاسی ودنیوی امور ومسائل میں ان کی فرزانگی ودانشمندی کایہ عالم تھا کہ جس طرح علما کی بزم کے وہ صدرنشیں تھے اسی طرح ارباب سیاست وتدبیر کی محفل میں بھی اپنامقام خاص رکھتے تھے ’’جوبات کہتے تھے‘‘اورجو لفظ اُن کے قلم سے نکلتا تھاوہ اس قدرجچا تلااور نپانپایا ہوتا تھا کہ کسی بڑے سے بڑے نکتہ چیں کے لیے بھی اُس پر حرف گیری آسان نہ تھی۔ یوں تو اﷲ...

Curriculum Overload at College level: Probing its Repercussions on EFL Learners and Academics

English language is considered the core of success in Pakistani education system. The most important task of English teachers at college level in Pakistan is to develop competence and better understanding of English language in students. However, curriculum overload is the biggest hurdle in enhancing language proficiency because it keeps teachers and students under pressure. J.B McDonald elucidates curriculum as a fount of quality teaching and better learning experience for students by identifying an apt syllabus and assessing their learning outcomes. This paper looks into the causes and consequences of curriculum overload on English teachers at college level in particular and on students in general. This study helps in understanding the issue through teachers and students’ point of view. Data were collected through questionnaires based on close and open-ended questions. These questionnaires were filled by the English teachers and students of public and private colleges of Faisalabad city. Macdonald's Model has been adapted to understand the role of curriculum in education. He takes curriculum as a social and cognitive system for proper planning and instruction in academia. This study recommends certain measures to overcome the overload of curriculum on teachers and students. It will open new vistas of research, as less work has been done in this regard, particularly at college level.

Effect of Motivational Factors on Teacher Job Satisfaction: A Study of Public Sector Degree Colleges of Punjab, Pakistan

Among all the resources of an educational institution, teachers are unquestionably the most important. Motivation plays a pivotal role in increasing the level of teacher's job satisfaction. Satisfied teachers in turn can help in improving the performance of an educational institution. The objectives of this study were to explore various factors of low motivation of teachers and to analyze the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors on teacher job satisfaction in public sector degree colleges of Punjab, Pakistan. This was an exploratory study based on primary data. Questionnaire was used to collect the primary data. The profile of the respondents included all the teachers who were working in public sector degree colleges of Punjab, Pakistan. Regression Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique using Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) 19.0 was applied. SPSS 19.0 was used for basic analysis purpose. The results of the study indicated that although compensation and benefits package is an important factor of teacher's low motivation in public sector degree colleges of Punjab, Pakistan, but there are also some non monetary factors for example, insufficient opportunities to acquire new skills at job, lack of participation in job related decisions, over crowded class rooms, unsatisfactory work environment, lack of pre-service and in-service training programs, unsatisfactory recognition and feedback process which are contributing to low motivation of teachers in public sector degree colleges of Punjab, Pakistan. Study concluded that there is significant relationship between intrinsic motivational factors and teacher job satisfaction. Similarly, statistically significant relationship is also found between extrinsic motivational factors and teacher job satisfaction. However, it is found that teacher job satisfaction in largely caused by intrinsic motivational factors as compare to extrinsic motivational factors. Moreover, significant difference is observed between teacher's age, designation, teaching experience and teacher job satisfaction. The study has recommended strategies about how management can utilize intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors as a tool to keep teachers motivated and satisfied in their jobs. The study also recommended ways by which management can eliminate low motivation amongst teachers by improving their skills, knowledge and competencies and by creating supporting learning environment, building good relationships between junior and senior teachers and involving teachers in job related decisions. The study seems to be very useful as it provides both, the theoretical implications for the researchers interested in exploring job satisfaction in higher educational institutions in Pakistan as well as practical implications for the higher authorities within public sector higher education set up in Pakistan.
