آہ! مولانا ابومحفوظ الکریم معصومی مرحوم
علامہ ابومحفوظ الکریم معصومی نے ۱۷؍ جون ۲۰۰۹ء کو اس عالم فانی کو الوداع کہا اور کلکتہ کی زمین نے علم و تحقیق کے آسمان کو اپنی آغوش میں لے لیا، یقینا ان کی وفات سے مطالعہ و تحقیق کی دنیا میں عرصے تک خلا محسوس کیاجائے گا، فنانی العلم ہستیاں اب نایاب ہیں اور ان کے اٹھ جانے سے واقعی علم کے اٹھ جانے کا احساس ہوتا ہے۔
دارالمصنفین سے ان کا تعلق نصف صدی سے زیادہ کی مدت پر محیط ہے، وہ جب ڈھاکہ یونیورسٹی میں ریسرچ اسکالر تھے تو اس وقت یعنی ۱۹۴۸ء میں ان کا مضمون ’’تفسیر طبری کی اہمیت‘‘ کے عنوان سے شائع ہوا تھا، یہ تعلق اس طرح قوی سے قوی تر ہوتا گیا کہ وہ آخری وقت تک رسالہ ’’معارف‘‘ کی مجلس ادارت اور دارالمصنفین کی مجلس انتظامیہ کے رکن رہے، اس لیے دارالمصنفین میں ان کے رحلت کی خبر اور بھی زیادہ غم واندوہ کے ساتھ سنی گئی۔
مولانا کی زندگی کا بیشتر حصہ بنگال میں گزرا لیکن اصلاً مولدووطن صوبہ بہار کا نہایت مردم خیز قصبہ بہار شریف ہے، ان کے والد مولانا محمد امیر حسن نے کلکتہ اور ڈھاکہ میں مدۃالعمر تعلیم و تدریس کے فرائض انجام دیئے لیکن وطن کی خاک ان کو بہار شریف کھینچ لائی، مولانا محمد امیر حسن کے دو صاحب زادے ہوئے اور دونوں علم و تحقیق کے آفتاب و ماہتاب نکلے، ایک تو ڈاکٹر محمد صغیر حسن معصومی، جنہوں نے آکسفورڈ یونیورسٹی سے ابن باجہ اندلسی کی کتاب النفس کو مرتب کرکے ڈاکٹریٹ کی ڈگری لی، ان کے بعض مقالے معارف میں شائع ہوئے، پاکستان بننے کے بعد وہ وہاں کے تعلیمی اداروں سے وابستہ ہوئے اور اسلام آباد میں ۱۹۹۶ء میں وفات پائی، ہمارے مولانا ابومحفوظ الکریم معصومی ان سے چھوٹے تھے، ان...
The bond of education and character education is like that of body and soul. In the comprehensive process of Islamic character building, education is an integral part. Character is the provision for life journey where as education is the light on the path. The recognition of distinct objectives of education and trenchant targets of character education is necessary to solve the crisis of character faced by contemporary world. Education is a lightening experience to develop the skills and awareness whereas character education helps the individual to be sincere with himself, obedient to his Lord, and compliant with the moral values which is the outcome of character education. The curricula of education, no matter how powerful and evolved may it be, need to be translated into behavior. Therefore, a role model is needed to achieve educational goals. The work of the prophet was characterized with deep insight, strong determination, firmness, honesty. These virtuous qualities caused to enlighten hearts with the right faith. Character cannot be built thorough ease and quiet, it is a process built upon a philosophy and laws, which springs from the moral values followed by the society. Islamic character education evolved from the infallible sources of Islamic Sharia: The Qur’an and Sunnah of the beloved Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W) who formed the characters of his noble companions (R. A) in best manner and equipped their generation with everything they needed to lead a successful life in this world and in hereafter. This paper elucidates the connection between education and character education, and sheds light upon the importance of role model in bringing the change as well as covers the major restraints that shackle the process of education and character education.
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oilseed crop. In Pakistan, it is the third biggest source of edible oil. Every year Pakistan spends huge amount of its foreign reserves on import of edible oil and now Pakistan is the third largest importer of edible oilseeds in world after China and India. Our local production has decreased over the years and now our local edible oil production is only the 13% of our demand. To bridge the gap between supply and demand of edible oil in Pakistan, government has to focus on Sunflower crop. For increasing the sunflower production new and improved local sunflower hybrids should be developed. Information of Genetic diversity study is a prerequisite for designing any breeding program. In the first experiment genetic diversity among 109 sunflower lines was estimated at morphological, bio-chemical and molecular level. For morphological characterization 109 sunflower lines were evaluated during Spring-2015 and Spring-2016 at National Agricultural Research Center, Islamabad following Augmented Design. The studied genotypes showed significant amount of variation on the basis of results obtained by cluster analysis and Principal component analysis. SDS-PAGE technique was used to study the variability among the sunflower genotypes at bio-chemical level. Genetic variability at molecular level was studied using SSR markers. Morphological and molecular based characterization showed considerable amount of genetic variation among the studied sunflower genotypes, while these genotypes showed less than 3% dis-similarity through SDS-PAGE based bio-chemical genetic study. The second experiment was for the identification of heterotic groups among the studied material. Heterotic groups were identified by combing the morphological and molecular data sets as, combining different data sets has been found useful in increasing the resolution of experiment. Two major clusters one of CMS and maintainer lines and other of restorer lines were observed. Six sub-groups in each major cluster were observed and one best performing genotype from each subgroup was selected. In third experiment, 12 parents (6 CMS and 6 Restorer) selected from heterotic groups was crossed in LxT mating design during autumn, 2016 to develop crosses and study the efficacy of identified heterotic groups and gene action. 36 crosses developed along with their parents and checks were sown in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) at two locations (NARC and URF) during spring-2017. Three best performing hybrids (RHP-41 x CMS-HAP-56, RHP-71 x CMS-HAP- 111, RHP-71 x CMS-HAP-12) were found to be best for seed yield and oil contents over three check hybrids and four best combining parents i.e., CMS-HAP-12, CMS-HAP-56, RHP-41 and RHP-71 were also identified. Results of our study showed that heterotic grouping among sunflower could be developed and strengthened on the basis of morphological and SSR markers to pace up the hybrid development in Sunflower.
