To determine the different types of child abuse and its association with behavioral disorders in children presenting to a tertiary care hospital. Materials and methodsOne hundred abused Pakistani children, of both genders, were included. Children with cerebral palsy, a neurodegenerative disorder, chronic illness, chronic liver disease, congenital heart disease, chronic renal failure, and parents who refused to become part of the study were excluded. Descriptive statistics were calculated. The chi-square test was applied to compare the pattern of abuse among various types of behavioral disorders. P≤0.05 was considered significant. ResultsThe mean age of the study was 10.38±2.64 years. The total number of males was 51 (51%); the rest (49; 49%) were females. The most common behavioral disorder was functional disorder (n=59, 59%) followed by depression (n=26, 26%). The most frequent abuse was physical (n=87, 87%) followed by verbal (n=7, 7%) and the least was sexual (n=6, 6%). There was no statistically significant association between type of behavioral disorder and type of abuse in children (P=0.162). ConclusionThe most common type of child abuse among children with behavioral disorders is physical abuse followed by verbal. The type of behavioral disorder is not associated with a specific type of child abuse.
Human beings are naturally social specie. They depend on each other, in day to day life. Such may be material necessities or simple moral support. Nevertheless, there is nothing stronger than family bound. Islam signifies the importance of family. Family is the foundation of human society. Islam believes families, to be at the heart of Muslim community. Allah created family life to keep society together. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) married and remained in family system. Islam believes in collective life, which is not possible without family system. No one can deny that western world is strongly in clutches of premarital sex at is the early age of puberty, cohabitation in name of relationship, illegitimacy on kids, divorce is no more considered as bad, same sex marriage, encouraging old age homes and parent’s loss control of kids once get major. Kids are no more under the supervision of fatherhood. Families give stability, security, cooperation, love and support for each member of family, however, west has lost such values. Islam promotes to follow the commands of Almighty Allah, within the limits so prescribed. In contrary, no such limits for non-Muslims, hence, in the west, the citizen has the choice to lead life as per his/her ambition. It is not a secret that the British remained in subcontinent for a substantial period of time. They also introduced their cultural values including family life. It should not be out of sight that the cultural values and other traditions in respect of family life, has not vanished after their departure from the subcontinent. Another aspect in the issue is that due to the phenomena of globalization, the cultural amalgamation of the western life in our society has been very easy. We are living in the modern era, where the world has become global village. The distance of the world is no more than a click. Excess to modern technology has made the contact so easy that one can access any one in other corner of the world in seconds. Such contacts have made the amalgamation of the world culture. Joint family system has been the trademark of our society, however due to the introduction of Western family life through various moods, has changed that to individuality. It is also noticed that the drastic impacts of Western family life, also resulted in the increase of rate divorce in our society. Even, the homemade food has now been converted into the hoteling. It has not been a very far story, that when guest used to visit families in our society, there used to be proper arrangements before their arrivals, however these days due to the western Civilization introduction, converted on to home delivery services. The important question in the context is how to cope with the situation, to avoid negative impacts of Western family life and Civilization in our society. We being Muslims are governed by the Holy Quran and the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Every aspect of life including family life is being prescribed, guided with details by Holy Quran and the Holy prophet (PBUH). We have no other alternative to avoid the negative impacts of the Western family life, but to adopt the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). We have to adopt the values that govern the life of a Muslim that being as husband, wife, father, son, daughter or any other member of the family. We have to make the youth to understand that the glory of this world and hereafter, go to follow the teachings of Islam. The social media, electronic and print media have to be scrutinized in such a way, so that to avoid its negative impacts on the youth. Serious measures are to be adopted to protect family values from the negative impacts of western culture.
The Arabic language is considered one of the bonds that unite the Muslim community, and the connection between Islam and Arabic, is one of the most wonderful miracles of Islam. Islam has taken the language out of its narrow scope by making it a tool of thought, spirit and religion which paved the way for other people to join under the banner of Islam. Learn Arabic and create civilization, because Civilization only came through language and civilization in a kind of brief definition is a language, so the Arabic language has been able to bring together peoples of different races to manufacture a civilization advancement that the world has lived for a long period of time, and it is noted for the association of Islam and Muslims with the Arabic language, we find that the prosperous era of Islamic civilization in which Muslims connected with the Arabic language, and when it was established National and sectarian strife and Muslims abandoning the Arabic language was an indication of Muslims abandoning civilization leadership. The Classical Arabic language today faces serious challenges that are about to befall it, and it needs to help it withstand the challenges, and the hope was pinned on the various media; to play most of this role; The mass media - such as television, radio, satellite channels, the press and other important means of culture and education- they can play a role unparalleled in serving the Arabic language, spreading it among people, attractive it to them, and redressing it, from the tyranny of colloquialisms, and their infiltration into every activity. One of the activities of our Arab life; these devices have entered every home, and their seduction and lure have settled all souls and hearts, and have become a means of destruction and sabotage. Arab media have begun to openly promote colloquialisms (slang language) increasing their arrogance, and most of the programs presented on satellite channels are presented in the colloquial language instead of original/ root language. The matter went beyond dramas, serials, and films, and included some cultural and educational programs, political commentaries, and even news bulletins on some satellite channels. This abstract is containing to challenges for Classical Arabic language and the role of media in it.
Form the day first after landing down of Adam and Eve on the earth; the human life depended upon the two basic pillars; man and woman, but later on, the concepts of people regarding woman remained different. This differentiation was because of depending of each individual on his own mentality, and his own point of view about the woman due to her attitude and acts she performed. For the reformation of human life and saving him from the differentiation and declines, in every era, Almighty Allah, send messenger who guided their followers about the mistakes happened in human life intentionally or unintentionally. Whenever the teachings of a messenger regarding the humanity and especially woman were bypassed by anybody, some unsatisfactory circumstances occurred. All these probably miss-happened because of constituting the different contradictive point of view by thinkers about life and especially about woman, which was in contrast to the teaching/instruction of Almighty Allah, resultantly it caused strange decisions based on cruelty and injustice to women. Like so, there were some thinkers like Plato, Aristos etc. who wrote down their point of view regarding right of property and inheritance of a woman, which are somehow, in contrast to the sematic teachings. This article discusses the theories of some non-Muslim scholars, who lived before the revelations of Islam and even before Christ and after Islam. It analyses their theories about the said right of a woman in comparative style with a conclusion given at the end. All this study has been offered in a scholarly way. It will open new aspect of research for the up-coming researchers.
