حاجی احمد غریب
دوسراافسوس ناک سانحہ جولائی میں حاجی احمد غریب صاحب کاہوا۔حاجی صاحب بمبئی کے مشہور صاحب خیر تھے۔ ملّی اوراجتماعی کاموں میں بڑھ چڑھ کر حصہ لیتے تھے، اعلیٰ درجہ کے منتظم تھے۔ حجاج کی خدمت سے عشق تھا، بمبئی کی انجمن خدام النبی کے روح رواں تھے۔ صابو صدیق کامسافر خانہ کاانتظام بھی ان ہی کے ہاتھ میں تھا۔ ابھی چندسال ہوئے اس تاریخی مسافرخانہ کی اوپر کی منزل بڑے اہتمام سے تعمیرکرائی تھی۔جمعیۃ العلماء ہند کے زیر اہتمام۱۹۵۴ء میں جو دینی تعلیمی کنونشن بمبئی میں ہواتھااس کا اہتمام بھی مرحوم ہی نے کیا تھا۔
ندوۃ المصنفین سے بھی خاص تعلق رکھتے تھے اوراس کی خدمات کی قدر کرتے تھے۔ ایک سال سے زیادہوا کہ کراچی چلے گئے تھے، وہیں۱۴/جولائی کو اچانک دل کادورہ ہوا اورجاں بحق ہوگئے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ مرحوم کی مغفرت فرمائے اوران کے نیک دل بھائی حافظ محمد صدیق صاحب حجازی اورتمام متعلقین کودولت صبر سے نوازے۔ [ستمبر۱۹۶۷ء]
Gelatin is a translucent, colorless, brittle, flavorless foodstuff, derived from collagen obtained from various animal by-products. Gelatin obtained from plants, fish or from the hides of animals lawfully slaughtered is pure, sacred and lawful. Since bones of carrion animals are pure and sacred, so gelatin obtained from them is lawful as well. Gelatin obtained from pigs is impure and unlawful. In this article, the methodology of using gelatin in foodstuffs and medicines is being discussed and its religious and lawful status is being elaborated.
Field experiments were conducted to study the soil water dynamics and water use efficiency in maize under different irrigation practices. Spring and Summer maize crops were sown for two years. In first experiment, five treatments (flood irrigated flat, furrow irrigated ridge, furrow irrigated raised bed, furrow irrigated raised bed with plastic mulch and sprinkler irrigated flat sowing practices) were used. The results showed that evapotranspiration, grain yield, biological yield, water use efficiency (WUE),(Irrigation water use efficiency (WUEi) and harvest index depended on moisture content under different irrigation practices in both growing seasons. Flood irrigated flat treatment gave the highest evapotranspiration, leaf area index (LAI), crop cover and biological yield, but it did not produce the highest grain yield and gave relatively low WUE and WUEi. Furrow irrigated raised bed treatment significantly improved grain yield, WUE, WUEi and harvest index. The results further showed that IMANSYS model predicted strong correlation between measured and estimated net irrigation requirement and evapotranspiration with r2 values 0.99, 0.99, 0.98 and 0.9) in Spring and Summer sown maize, respectively. Second experiment was conducted to study the deficit irrigation effect on evapotranspiration, WUE and maize yield under different irrigation techniques. Spring and Summer maize crops were sown for two years. Four treatments (furrow irrigated ridge, furrow irrigated raised bed, furrow irrigated raised bed with plastic mulch and sprinkler irrigated flat sowing practices) were used along with 100, 80 and 60 % field capacity (FC). Furrow irrigated ridge (100 % FC) gave the highest evapotranspiration (436.6 and 420 mm), but did not produce the highest grain yield (5.98 and 5.86 Mg ha-1) and gave relatively low WUE (12.2 and 12.9 kg ha-1 mm-1) and WUEi (13.4 and 13.9 kg ha-1 mm-1), respectively for spring 2011 and 2012. Furrow irrigated raised bed along with plastic mulch treatment produced maximum harvest index (0.41 and 0.39) at 80 % FC. Water use efficiency (14.6 and 20.4 kg ha-1 mm-1) and irrigation water use efficiency (17.5 and 21.2 kg ha-1 mm-1) were noted under furrow irrigated raised bed along with plastic mulch and sprinkler irrigated flat treatment at 80 % FC, respectively during spring 2011 and 2012. Results further showed that IMANSYS model predicted strong correlation between measured and estimated net irrigation requirement with r2 values 0.99, 0.99 and 0.9) in Spring and Summer sown maize, respectively. Prediction of soil water contents by HYDRUS was in good agreement with in situ measured data.
