The Solution to the Lack of Education and Training for Improving Human Behaviour in the Context of Islamic Teachings : انسانی رویوں میں بہتری کے لیے تعلیمی و تربیتی فقدان کا حل اسلامی تعلیمات کے تناظر میں
No full textThis article highlights the crucial role of education and training for individual and societal progress, emphasizing that a developed society prioritizes the holistic development of all its members, regardless of gender. Islam, too, considers both male and female education essential.
The article explores the literal and terminological meanings of "education" and "training" from Arabic and English perspectives, referencing Islamic scholars and Western dictionaries. It underscores the immense importance of knowledge in Islam, citing Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions that emphasize its pursuit, the virtues of learned individuals, and its role in distinguishing humanity. The interconnectedness of education and training is discussed, with training defined as nurturing physical, mental, and spiritual capabilities to reach perfection. The concept of "Tazkiyah" (purification of the self) is presented as an Islamic parallel to training. Finally, the article identifies key factors contributing to the decline in education and training, proposing solutions based on Quran and Sunnah. It outlines the responsibilities of parents, teachers, society, media, religious leaders, political parties, and the government in addressing this issue. Specific recommendations include promoting national languages as mediums of instruction, establishing separate educational systems for males and females, eliminating class-based education disparities, ensuring merit-based teacher appointments, and curbing conventional student politics in educational institutions. The overall message stresses the collective responsibility in fostering an environment conducive to comprehensive learning and character development.

An Explanation of The Affect Heuristic for Behavioral Economics, Focusing on The Difference Between Rational Agents and Irrational Fools
Get PDFThe objective of this essay is to present a comprehensive overview of two significant cognitive methodologies. The defining elements of the experiential mode include its intuitive, automatic, and natural nature, as well as its reliance on mental imagery that has acquired positive and negative meanings over time. An inherent characteristic of the alternative mode is its analytical, deliberative, and reasoning-based nature. In this response, I will provide a thorough analysis of the latest empirical data that sheds light on the concept of the affect heuristic. The term "affect heuristic" denotes a cognitive shortcut that assists individuals in making rational decisions across various situations. When individuals can effectively predict the favorable or unfavorable consequences of their decisions based on their prior experiences, it represents a significant achievement. However, we deem it as unsuccessful due to the significant disparity between the findings and our initial estimates.Given the aforementioned circumstances, the rational individual may ultimately transform into a sensible imbecile
The relevance of libraries in the process of cultivating literate populations
Get PDFA decade ago, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) embraced the concept of "good governance" as a set of governing principles to assist them in accomplishing their objectives in the member countries of each institution. Currently, these institutions are seeing growing pressures to maintain comparable levels of transparency, involvement, and openness. This study investigates the difficulties faced by these organizations and assesses the strategies they have adopted to promote the sharing of information and build relationships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This study examines the specific issues encountered by these institutions. This paper contends that in order to foster "good governance" at the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), it is necessary to perform an investigation into reforms related to their constitutional requirements, decision-making process, balance of stakeholder rights, as well as their expertise and knowledge. Moreover, this study contends that it is essential to scrutinize any alterations to the competence and experience of the IMF and World Bank in order to promote the progress of "good governance" inside these institutions.
