مولانا عبیداﷲ سندھی
افسوس ہے کہ مولانا عبیداﷲ سندھی نے ۲۳؍ اگست ۱۹۴۴ء کو اس عالم فانی کو الوداع کہا، مرحوم نے ساری عمر اپنے خیالات کی خاطر جن کو وہ حق سمجھتے تھے تکالیف میں بسر کی، بلکہ یوں کہنا چاہیے کہ مدت کے بعد کوئی عالم دین ایسا پیدا ہوا تھا جس نے اس طرح مجاہدانہ زندگی بسر کی، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت کرے، اور مقام اعلیٰ نصیب فرمائے۔ (سید سلیمان ندوی،ستمبر ۱۹۴۴ء)
"The word "Ablagh" means to convey, to transfer, to communicate the term "Tableegh "is derived from this word. In the Holy Quran the words like "Tableegh" "Da’wa" "Inzar" and "Tabsheer" have been used for communication purpose. "Tableegh" means to persuade someone for the good deeds and prohibit him from the bad forbidden things. Tableegh is a process in which someone is invited sincerely towards an noble cause. In the Holy Quran Tableegh has been declared "Farz"(something which all the followers are supposed to do as binding) for all the Muslims. In the modern era the ways of communication are enormous and varied. The most important are the electronic and print media. Television, computer and radio, on the one hand and books, magazines and the newspapers on the other hand, play their respective role. Recently internet has emerged as the most important organ to address the people. Hence these current modes of communication should be reviewed according to the Seerah ofthe Holy Prophet (P. B. U. H) .
Sixty maize accessions were evaluated under normal and drought stress treatments. Selected tolerant and sensitive accessions were crossed in Line ´ Tester fashion and resultant F1 along with their parents were evaluated for drought tolerance in green house and field conditions. Data were recorded on morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters to estimate genetic variability, general and specific combining ability effects, heterosis manifestation, gene action, correlation and path analyses.Genetic variation among the entries under normal and drought stress treatments, indicated that this breeding material may be used for the development of drought tolerant types. Combining ability analysis exhibited variable direction and magnitude of general combining ability (GCA) effects among lines and testers and specific combining ability effects (SCA) among crosses. Lines 19191, 15139 and 15280 and testers 15104, 15064 and 15268 were best general combiners under normal and drought stress treatments. Results of SCA indicated that crosses 15139 × 15066, 15188 × 15091, 19179 × 15104, 19203 × 24669, 15280 × 15064 and 15158 ×15064 were best specific combiners. Crosses 15139 × 15104, 15139 × 15066, 15188 × 15091, 19179 × 15268 and 19179 × 15104 had also mid parent and better parent heterosis for various traits under all the treatments. Non-additive type of gene action was observed for all the traits. Association of traits based on correlation analysis showed that plant height, cobs per plant, kernels per row and kernels per cob had significant and positive correlation with grain yield per plant under normal and water deficit conditions. Path analysis revealed that days to 50% tasseling had highest positive direct effect on grain yield per plant under normal and chlorophyll b contents under stress field condition.
