سر سید احمد خان کے تفسیری اصول اور ان کا اطلاق:تفسیر القرآن کا خصوصی مطالعہ

Sir Sayyad Ahmad explores that commandment of Allah Almighty is never against human common-sense understanding. Hence, Sir Sayyad in his Tafsīr Al-Qurʻān follows following principles. God (Allah Almighty) is real and true, and the Holy Qurʻān is the authentic book of Allah Almighty. Everything described in Holy Qurʻān is based on reality and nobody can refuse authenticity of Holy Qurʻān. Sir Sayyad called work of nature as laws of nature and Word of God as Holy Qurʻān. He enforces that both work of nature (Nature's Laws) and Word of Nature (Holy Qurʻān) runs parallel and can't be different. Laws of nature and the Holy Qurʻān can never be against each other. Principle of universal truth is followed. Man has been created to worship God. We can say that Religion has been blessed to man. This highlights the importance of "Man's Wisdom”. Hence man has been named as best of all creatures (Ashraf al-Makhlūqāt). Sir Sayyad further explores that there is nothing in the Holy Qurʻān against principles of nature. Holy Qurʻān is complete and it is commandment of Allah Almighty full of reality and truth. However, interpretation of revelation (Wahī) is necessary for understanding. Sir Sayyad enriched his Tafsīr al-Qurʻān with requirements of modern thinking, theology and scientific facts. Hence, he describes his point of views to mold Tafsīr into scientific Tafsīr.

Inside Drucker's brain

In late 2003, ninety-four-year-old Peter Drucker invited Jeffrey Krames to his home for an unprecedented day-long interview. He spoke candidly about his seminal management principles, his enormous body of work (thirty-eight books over six decades), and the leaders he had advised over the years (including Jack Welch). Krames used the insights he gained that day to create Inside Drucker's Brain - a compact guide to the great man's wisdom. Krames had no intention of writing a biography, but rather a book that would showcase Drucker's most important ideas and strategies, and explain why they are just as useful today as they were decades ago. Drucker's biggest contribution was a mind-set, not a methodology. He focused on prodding managers to ask the right questions, to look beyond what they thought they knew, and to focus on tomorrow rather than yesterday. If anything, this mind-set is more valuable in the digital age than it was in the industrial age. This user-friendly book will help readers grasp all of Drucker's key ideas on leadership, strategy, innovation, personal effectiveness, career development, and many other topics.

Die boek Prediker: Alles is nie sinloos nie!

Ecclesiastes: Everything is not meaningless!Ecclesiastes is not dominated by the statement of meaningless, but also provides positive advice. The majesty and glory of God and his sovereignity, reflects one of the main themes in this book. God rules man’s destiny, his/her successes and happiness. Man’s attitude can best be summarized in the following words from Ecclesiastes 12:13: “Fear God and keep his commandments”. Ecclesiastes continuously emphasizes the great value of wisdom. This can be attributed to the fact that God Himself is the author of wisdom. However, wisdom also has limits. Even with all man's wisdom, she/he is still limited, as even wise people can not explain all that happens on earth. Ecclesiastes does not only become meaningfull when looking at the New Testament, it has its own message for today's Christians.

Gender in the Book of Jeremiah: A Feminist-Literary Reading

Bell & Howell Information and Learning: Foreign text omitted. ... Gender in Book of Jeremiah: A Feminist-Literary Reading, by Angela Bauer. Studies in Biblical Literature 5. New York/Bern: Peter Lang, 1999. Pp. xiv + 203. $47.95. This slim volume addresses important questions usually treated only glancingly by Jeremiah scholars, with notable exception of Robert Carroll. Bauer employs literary and rhetorical-critical methodologies a feminist perspective to discern how gender (mainly female) is inscribed through metaphors and images of feminine in jeremiah. Chapter 1 describes metaphorization of as faithful bride and pornographic representation of as promiscuous woman in Jeremiah 1-2. Bauer faults male commentators for not acknowledging that image of Israel's blood-stained skirts in 2:34 resonates with undertones of as sexually violated female (p. 41), a reading she offers without argumentation. In chapter 2, Bauer discusses tropes from divorce to labor pain in Jeremiah 3-6, proposing that impersonates a woman in labor (4:19a) as a means of identification with doomed Jerusalem; that this might be Zion's voice (cf. 4:31 ) is not given adequate consideration. Chapter 3 highlights women's roles in ritual and requiem as leaders in worship of Queen of Heaven (7:18) and as mourners (9:16-20), setting wise women's in a rather strained contrast with male wisdom, power, and wealth in 9:22-23: the wisdom of men is worthless. . . . only wisdom left in land is ascribed to women who know music of mourning (pp. 95-97). In chapter 4 Bauer reviews more metaphors of sexually violated woman and other negative images (e.g., mother bereaved in 15:8-9, birth cursed in 20:14-18), including unsettling portrayal of Jeremiah as having suffered metaphorical rape himself (20:7). In chapter 5, Bauer studies eschatological motifs in Jeremiah 30-31, seizing particularly on enigmatic ...: (female surrounds warrior-male) of 31:22b, wherein she finds the promise of a new creation that embodies functions of female imagery in book of Jeremiah as a whole (p. 145). Bauer is an intelligent and attentive reader, but she supplies too little argumentation for her more innovative readings, and there are significant flaws in theoretical underpinnings of her exegesis. Debatable assumptions are in evidence regarding how a text's surface structure might architectonically convey a deeper semantic sense; for instance, she writes of 1:5, the sentence structure around `the womb' symbolizes content of call: separation, protection, and challenge . . . . The three lines shrink in length visually symbolizing a focusing on birth of prophet (pp. 13-14). In fact, 1:5 is precisely not about birth of prophet. More attention to complex questions of how metaphor and voice function in literature would have helped situate Bauer's own approach, which presumes that implied reader is to with figures. For example, in 3:4-5 she discerns a rhetorical strategy pressing male Israel to identify with metaphorical wife, daughter, and husband/father, thus requiring hapless ancient reader both to try on identification with female and to resist that role at same time (p. …

Computers and life styles

Abstract There is a relation between people's psychological build‐up and their attraction to computers. Flexibility and curiosity are essential qualities. Teamwork must be encouraged and developed, as does creative imagination harnessed to method and discipline. Semantic and syntactic knowledge are essential for solving computer problems. The challenge, however, remains: “free man from his machine,” or at any rate, “free him somewhat from his status as slave/master to his slave.” Keywords: education, computers, ability to adapt, wisdom of man, relations with computers, language

The End Of Premocracy In Thailand

On 5 December 1987, Thailand celebrated the sixtieth birthday of King Bhumipol Adulyadej, one of the most beloved monarchs in Thai history. This celebration outshone all previous ones for it was His Majesty's fifth-cycle birthday which, according to Thai tradition, represents the golden age in a man's life, the age when a man's wisdom, tolerance and statesmanship have fully matured. The royal ceremony was held that day at Phra Meru field outside the Grand Palace where Their Majesties presided over the congregation of loyal subjects. The three men representing the three branches of government on that occasion were General Prem Tinsulanonda, the Prime Minister; Dr Ukrit Mongkolnavin, Speaker of the Upper House; and Mr Chamras Kemacharu, President of the Supreme Court. None of them were elected officials. As keen observers of Thai politics were quick to point out, the fact that these three men were not truly elected representatives of the people was a symbolic indication of the continuing bureaucratic dominance of the government. It represented a mixture of half-baked democracy and a bureaucratic polity which has been Thailand's system of political rule for the past eight years ? the system which came to be known as Premocracy. Now that Premier Prem has stepped down after eight years and five months in office, questions concerning the development of Thai politics remain to be answered. Will Premocracy wither away or will it continue? Has Thailand's system of political rule suddenly become fully democratic now that an elected Member of Parliament (MP) has assumed premiership? What are the prospects of change and development? This paper proposes to answer some of these questions by outlining and analysing the major events, trends of change and development taking place in Thailand in 1988.1

Nietzsche's Theory of Tragedy in the Plays of T. S. Eliot

Nietzsche-a nineteenth-century philosopher passionately concerned with culture, myth, ritual, and Greek tragedy; Eliot-a twentieth-century philosophy student likewise devoted throughout his career to culture, myth, ritual, and Greek tragedy; yet Eliot hardly ever refers to in his published work. In one rare instance when he does so, in a review of a book about Nietzsche, rather than acknowledge indebtedness, he censures: Nietzsche is one of those writers whose philosophy evaporates when detached from its literary qualities, and whose literature owes its charm not alone to personality and wisdom of man, but to a claim to scientific truth. Then after pointedly dismissing Nietzsche's theories of war, knowledge, universe, and ethics, Eliot nevertheless concludes his review by regretting the omission of any account of Nietzsche's views on art,' suggesting at least some interest in Nietzsche's aesthetic theories. Most scholars would agree with Eliot that is far from scientific in his method, especially in The Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche's first book, but in spite of its lack of evidence, hypothesis of The Birth of Tragedy proved so provocative that certain anthropologists, notably Frazer, Harrison, and Cornford, tried to substantiate it scientifically by documenting myths and rituals of various cultures. However much Eliot may discount Nietzsche's claim to scientific truth, he was clearly impressed by anthropologists who tried to prove that claim. That Eliot was stimulated by Frazer's The Golden Bough we know from notes to The Waste Land; that he was aware of Harrison's and Cornford's works on ritual and origins of tragedy we know from his reference in A Dialogue on Dramatic Poetry to the (extremely in-

There is No Forbidden Zone in Science

Science, the proud son of the era and the crystallization of man's wisdom, is inlaid in the crown of our times like a lustrous and brilliant pearl. Social science discloses to mankind the general law governing the development of society and leads it in marching forward to the higher stages of social system - socialist society and communist society. Natural science creates for mankind tremendous productive forces like miracles, enabling the human race to live a life in fairyland. Who is there who does not praise the power of science and refuses to admit that science is the great force pushing history forward? Who is there that dares openly to set up forbidden zones in science, thus serving as an executioner to strangle science? In our times, people who dare openly to do this, perhaps, are increasingly few. However, this does not mean that science can completely extricate itself from disaster. Science has to pay dearly for every step of exploration and has to undergo a stern struggle for it. Science is an u...

Classical Mythology and Christian Tradition in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus

God is now conceived of as something outside man and man's handiwork, and it follows that it must be idolatry to worship that which Phidias and Scopas made … Night will fall upon man's wisdom now that man has been taught that he is nothing. He had discovered, or half-discovered, that the world is round and one of many like it, but now he must believe that the sky is but a tent spread above a level floor, and that he may be stirred into a frenzy of anxiety and so to moral transformation, blot out the knowledge or half-knowledge that he has lived many times, and think that all eternity depends upon a moment's decision.—Yeats, A Vision

Man and His Future: A Ciba Foundation Volume

In his preface toMan and His Future, editor Gordon Wolstenholme of the Ciba Foundation states, This book should make people think. It does, and for that reason, is worthy of purchase. To create the book, Ciba applied its usual formula. It gathered together 27 distinguished men of science (among them six Nobel laureates), mixed 16 prepared papers with seven yeasty discussions, and distilled the essence from the ferment. In the result there appear some uncertain and even grim forecasts for man, but the fresh breezes of the open discussion blow away any traces of gloom. The papers have a broad scope, including birth control, world resources, automation, eugenics and genetics, the future of disease, and the biological possibilities of the human species for the next ten thousand years. In the discussions two doubts keep rearing up, doubts concerning man's wisdom in tinkering with his natural processes, and his ability

Theory and Method in Applying Behavioral Science to Planned Organizational Change

Three assumptions underlie this paper: (1) that the proportion of contemporary change that is planned or that issues from deliberate innovation is much higher than in former times; (2) that man's wisdom and mundane behavior are somewhat short of perfection insofar as they regulate the fate and selective adaptation of complex human organizations; (3) that behavioral scientists in increasing numbers are called upon to influence organizational functioning and effectiveness. The paper is concerned with the strategic, methodological, and conceptual issues brought about by the emergence of the action role of the behavioral scientist.

The Night Spirit and the Dawn Air

How the valley awakes. At two fifteen in the morning there are no sounds except in the monastery: the bells ring, the office begins. Outside, nothing, except perhaps the bullfrog saying ‘Om’ in the creek or in the guest house pond. Some nights he is in Samadhi, there is not even ‘Om'. The mysterious and uninterrupted whooping of the whippoorwill begins about three, on spring mornings. He is not always near. Sometimes there are two whooping together, perhaps a mile away to the woods in the east.The first chirps of the waking day-birds mark the point vierge of the dawn under a sky as yet without real light, a moment of awe and inexpressible innocence, when the Father in perfect silence opens their eyes. They begin to speak to him not with fluent song but with an awakening question that is their dawn state, their state at the point vierge. Their condition asks if it is time for them to ‘be'. He answers ‘yes’. Then, they one by one wake up, and become birds. They manifest themselves as birds, beginning to sing. Presently they will be fully themselves, and will even fly.Meanwhile, the most wonderful moment of the day is that when creation in its innocence asks permission to ‘be’ once again, as it did on the first morning that ever was.All wisdom seeks to collect and manifest itself at that blind sweet point. Man's wisdom does not succeed, for we are fallen into self-mastery and cannot ask permission of anyone.
