Assignment # 36: Explore the pre-requisites for galvanic prose. Dr.Sohail Ansari

Socrates asks Euthyphro the now philosophically famous question that he and any divine command theorist must consider: “Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?” A person can never be loved by God if he is not pious. One might argue that if the motive for being moral on Divine Command Theory is to merely avoid punishment and perhaps gain eternal bliss, then this is less than ideal as an account of moral motivation, because it is a mark of moral immaturity. Should we not instead seek to live moral lives in community with others because we value them and desire their happiness?   We never do a job for the job sake nor we learn for learning sake; things are always means to an end for us. Valuing others means to be valued by God. موثر ادب کی شرائط ڈاکٹر شاہ رشاد عثمانی galvanic prose موثر ادب کی شرائط :مختصر یہ ہے کہ اسلامی تحریک جو دنیا کی دوسری تحریکوں کے مقابلے میں انسانی فطرت سے سب سے زیادہ قریب ہے،وہ کب...

Assignment #34: Redefining or stretching the concept: Inculturation hermeneutics and its implications for the study of the Quran.For the Departments of English & Media Studies by Prof Dr Sohail Ansari

We need to re-think engagement between the Quran  and a Pakistani culture because i t seems as if that the Quranic text is supposed to be studied as an end in itself, not  as a means to an end; therefore, now read the material below تعلیم ،اسلام اور زندگی ملک خدا بخش بُچہ   آخر اس کی کیا وجہ ہے کہ علم کی ترقی کے ساتھ ساتھ ہم میں زندگی کی توانائی روز بروز کم ہوتی جا رہی ہے۔ علم کے لیے بالعموم مشعل ، شمع یا چراغ کی تمثیل استعمال کی جاتی ہے، جس سے نور اور روشنی کا تصور ملتا ہے۔ لیکن یہ یاد رکھنا چاہیے کہ جس طرح شعلے کی روشنی سے حرارت کو جدا نہیں کیا جا سکتا ، اسی طرح علم بھی اگر زندگی کی حرارت سے محروم ہو جائے، تو اس کا نور بھی تاریکیوں میں تحلیل ہوجاتا ہے۔ علم میں حرارت ،ایمان سے پیدا ہوتی ہے ۔ اور جیسا کہ انگریز شاعر ولیم بلیک [م: ۱۸۲۷ ء] نے کہا ہے کہ ’اگر کہیں چاند اور سورج بھی شک میں مبتلا ہو کر ایمان کھو بیٹھیں تو فوراً بجھ کر تاریکیوں میں تبدیل ہو جائیں ‘۔ آپ کے لیے آپ کا علم نا کافی ہی نہیں بلکہ سراسر وبالِ جان ہے اگر یہ آپ کے باطن میں ایمان کی حرارت نہ...
