افسوس ہے گزشتہ مہینہ قاضی ظہور الحسن صاحب ناظمؔ سیو ہاری نے داعی اجل کولبیک کہا۔ مرحوم رشتہ میں راقم الحروف کے ماموں تھے۔بڑے ذہین، طباع،بذلہ سنج اورقادرالکلام شاعر تھے۔فن پربڑاعبور تھا۔تاریخ گوئی میں توشاید ہی اُن کاکوئی جواب ہو۔اس خاص کمال کی وجہ سے نظام حیدرآباددکن کے دامنِ دولت سے وابستہ ہوگئے اورعرصہ تک وظیفہ پاتے رہے۔غالباً۱۹۲۸ء میں جب ’’نظام‘‘ گورنمنٹ انڈیا سے برارکا معاملہ طے کرنے دلّی آئے تھے تومرحوم نے اس تقریب سے ایک عجیب وغریب قصیدہ لکھا تھا جس میں ۱۹ اشعارتھے اور ہرشعر سے سات طرح دلّی آنے کی تاریخ نکلتی تھی۔پھر لطف یہ تھا کہ ہرشعر کے پہلے حرف کوملائیے تواُسی بحر اوراُسی ردیف وقافیہ کاایک شعرہوجاتا تھا اوراس سے بھی سات طرح تاریخ برآمد ہوتی تھی۔نظام نے اس پر خوش ہوکر ان کے منصب میں اضافہ کردیا اوراب وہ مستقلاً حیدرآباد میں رہنے لگے تھے۔ علاوہ بریں اُن کو تصنیف وتالیف کا بھی بڑا متنوع ذوق تھا۔ تاریخ،فقہ،ادب و تنقید، لسانیات، شعروشاعری ان میں سے ہرموضوع پرانھوں نے کتابیں لکھی ہیں۔آخر میں اردو کی انسائیکلو پیڈیا لکھنی شروع کی تھی جوناتمام رہ گئی۔اخلاقی اعتبار سے خوش مزاج اورخندہ روبزرگ تھے۔لطائف وظرائف سینکڑوں کی تعداد میں یاد تھے اور انھیں موقع و محل کے لحاظ سے مزے لے لے کرسناتے تھے۔نماز باجماعت پڑھتے تھے اورادووظائف کاشغل بھی رکھتے تھے۔بزرگان دیوبند کے صحبت یافتہ اوران کے نام کے عاشق تھے۔دنیوی معاملات میں بھی بڑی سوجھ بوجھ رکھتے تھے۔اللھم اغفرلہ وارحمہ۔

DNA or Genetic fingerprinting technology is the topic of the day. It has revolutionized the forensic science. Islamic Jurisprudence has its own procedure and priorities of evidences, which mainly depend upon eyewitness, personal evidence and testimony. It was introduced in 1984. It is used in the identification of parentage, forensic sciences, treatment and diagnosis of diseases. The sequence of base pairs varies from person to person and the relativity of persons is identified by identifying the matching of base pairs. The Contemporary International Institutions of Collective Ijtihd have launched heavy discussions on this new evidence and reviewed relevant serious law making efforts based on it, which results in very valuable Fatw and resolutions, regarding the use of DNA techniques, as evidence in criminal cases and its limitations and scope in Islamic Jurisprudence. This article discusses and concludes that the genetic fingerprinting technique should be used for the attestation of the cases related to it, along with the traditional way to acquire evidences, even though, it does not have self-sustaining priority, but depends upon other evidences for making a judicial verdict. Like other forensic evidences, it has also errors and intervening factors that limit its accuracy. Therefore, the decisions of crimes liable to udd, Qi and Diyyat should not depend only upon DNA fingerprinting. Thus, we can say that in the absence of stipulated evidences, rebuking punishment may be sentenced on the basis the evidence of DNA.
All disasters are undesirable but they gave us a chance to learn some meaningful lessons
from them and to improve or at least to correct our pathway. Disaster such as an earthquake
always tends to untangle the social structure of the society and expose their strengths and
weaknesses. A descriptive research study was conducted to understand the post earthquake
changes in the physical and academic environment of primary schools in AJ&K. The study was
carried out in Muzaffarabad, the capital city of AJ&K (an affiliated state of Pakistan).
Muzaffarabad was one of the worst earthquake affected district of AJ&K and being the capital
city with crowded population and low spaced building infrastructure, it was devastated almost
above than 90%. The study was aimed to assess the post earthquake changes in physical
environment by mean of quality of reconstructed school building, and in academic environment
by mean of teachers training, evacuation plans and emergency drills, incorporation of disaster
related information in syllabus of primary classes and finally the awareness level of primary
teachers as well as of students. The study employed a descriptive research methodology using
quantitative approach. The sample was consisting of 36 schools with heads, teachers and
students. Three questionnaires and one observation schedule were developed to get quantitative
data. After statistical analysis, the results of the study showed that the training of teachers was not
conducted; no serious attempt was made by head teachers to implement any curricular changes
based upon disasters management especially about earthquake preparedness. There is no or very
little incorporation of disaster related information and earthquake preventive measures in syllabus
/ course of primary classes. However, the awareness level of teachers and students was not as
worse. They were found aware of basic preventive measures like not to run or evacuate in a hurry
during the shaking continues. A training of teachers should be done and to develop a policy
regarding the incorporation of disaster management especially the earthquake preventive measures in the course, textbooks or syllabus of primary classes.
