'AAJ KAL IS MASLEY PAR AMUNetwork KA KIYA KAHENA HAI ?

Dear Aligs., Asalkm,
Noted the chain of mails. It revealed another unpleasant matter. AMUNetwork is popularly known as voice of Aligs. Not only among t hem(Aligs.) but the whole community looks forward at the Network for an openion on any current issue. 'AAJ KAL IS(current issue) MASLEY PAR AMUNetwork KA KIYA KAHENA HAI ?' is oftenly enquired by people.
Writing is not only composition of sentences, paragraphs, articles and for that matter books, but it is an art of expressing oneself with validated, appealing features and ready to reply any query on the subject. A responsible writer requires ample of time, concentration, gathering resources and analytical as well as synthetical ability of choosing what is to be put and what to ignore.
Janab Ahtasham sb has been writing on selective issues very important for the society. His writings focus at the points which are needed in day-to-day life in the society particularly by youngsters, e.g. how to write Resume, how to prepare for interview, ways of selecting courses and institutes, to mention a few. So far, he has covered a lot of topics. I am sure he must be compiling his coming outs, if not, it is suggest for. Janab Rizvi sb has special pain for AMU and its pertinent matters since his Aligarh days till date. He eyes into depth of a matter. This is his inbuilt quality.If any of his submissions look irritating, sarcastic, pessimistic or so he can be queried for. Certainly, he will and has to respond satisfactorily.
It is sheer unfortunate weakness of a group that lets a debate to end with targetting individuals. When fruitful material exhausts, left over is personal criticism. This is the era of Group Discussion(GD) to be used as solution tool. That's why Imam Ghazali (Rah..) opposed 'Manazira' when it used to turn out like 'victory' v/s 'lost' matches instead of searching for truth / facts
to be accepted.
Let it be closed with the request to Ahtasham sb to continue his appreciable writings for the benefit of the society as he aims to.

Shariah based NFO

Dear All,

I have done research work on the stocks mentioned in this NFO as shariah
compliant. Unfortunately I found many stocks which are shariah non-compliant,
few of them grossly violate shariah. I have conveyed this to the management of
the Benchmark and also taken up the matter with shariah advisers associated with
it. Their Chief Shariah Adviser asked for certain proofs which I have provided
to him.

Let me also clarify to every one that this company has no shariah board of its
own. It's using the name of shariah board of S& P whose shariah norms this
company is using. Further their is no shariah monitoring of its stocks. It is
very difficult in absence of shariah monitoring to ascertain whether the shariah
norms given by the scholars are properly followed.

My request to all of you is to welcome shariah complaint products and support it
wholeheartedly but at the same please try to ensure that shariah which is the
reason detre of this concept is followed in letter and spirit.

Thanks and best regards to all of you.

To sort tertiary institutes by area, click on the tel number column heading -
tel numbers in the same area start with the same two or three digits.

Click on insitute name to get further details - contact details, location, fees,
salaries, comments.

Name of institute does not always indicate if it is a university or college -
some 'universities' offer qualifications that are not highly regarded, some
'colleges' offer qualifications that are very highly regarded.

The curriculum will give an indication of student mix. Faculty are usually
international.
Notes for students and lecturers when considering choosing a college or
university
Fees may vary substantially depending on the course and course requirements.
Transport, visa, accommodation (if provided) will normally cost additional fees.
Students should investigate how valuable a qualification from their prospective
institute is in terms of finding a job and/or continuing with study elsewhere.
The college or university itself is probably not the best source of unbiased
information - especially if they are a profit-making institution.

Universities and colleges should be licensed to operate by the Ministry of
Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHE, MHE, MoHESR or MHESR). It's not
a guarantee of a world class education but it's better than going somewhere not
licenced. The Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) has a list of licensed
institutes which is sometimes available.
Students awarded degrees from institutes that do not have CAA accredition may
find that their degree is not accepted as a prerequisite for graduate study at a
CAA accredited institute, or as a valid qualification for employment in the UAE
public sector.


Some institutes are more flexible with entry requirements than others - the
level of flexibility increase as the quality of education decreases and desire
for fees income increases.

Lecturers should check carefully what the salary package includes. Most overseas
hire packages will include accommodation (which can vary from luxurious to
slum), medical (which can also vary substantially - a government health card is
only regarded as a bare minimum), return flights once a year (if the college or
university insists on making bookings for you, this can be an aggravating
experience). Some institutes will pay extra allowances for transport and
utilities.
Teachers and instructors on local contract hires will normally not be offered
any of the above and may find it difficult financially if they have to cover
their own accommodation costs - especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi where rents
are quite high.
