مولانا شاہ محمد حلیم عطا شیخ
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ مہینہ مولانا محمد شاہ حلیم عطاشیخ الحدیث ندوۃ العلما لکھنؤ نے ستر برس کی عمر میں وفات پائی۔آپ ضلع رائے بریلی کے مشہور قصبہ سلون کے باشندے تھے۔جہاں کی مشہور خانقاہ میں آپ کے برادر بزرگ سجادہ نشین ہیں۔ گھر کے اچھے کھاتے پیتے تھے۔لیکن ندوہ میں بہت معمولی طریقہ پر رہتے تھے۔ مرحوم عوامی شہرت کے عالم نہیں تھے اور نہ اپنے مزاجِ لا ابالی کی وجہ سے ہوسکتے تھے۔لیکن درحقیقت بہت اونچے درجہ کے فاضِل اور نہایت وسیع المطالعہ تھے۔ حدیث ان کاخاص فن تھا۔صحیح بخاری کے ساتھ عشق رکھتے تھے اور پھر حافظہ اس بلاکا تھا کہ جو کچھ پڑھتے تھے دماغ میں نقش ہوجاتا تھا ۔مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ انھیں چلتا پھرتاکتب خانہ کہاکرتے تھے۔ ندوہ کے اساتذہ تک اپنے فن کے مشکل مسائل میں ان سے برابر استفادہ کرتے رہتے تھے۔
علمی کمالات کے علاوہ اخلاق وفضائل کے اعتبارسے سلفِ صالحین کا نمونہ تھے۔ہرشخص سے بڑے تپاک سے ملتے تھے، چھوٹوں پر ان کی شفقت عام تھی،اپنے اساتذہ کاذکر بڑی عقیدت اور محبت سے کرتے اوراستادزادوں سے ان کے خوردہونے کے باوجود برادرانہ تعلق رکھتے تھے۔ کم وبیش ایک برس سے خون کے دباؤ کے عارضے میں مبتلا تھے۔ جولائی میں بہت شدید دورہ پڑا اور تقریباً ۴۸ گھنٹے بے ہوش رہے ۔ہرچند کہ بہتر سے بہتر علاج کیاگیا۔لیکن چوں کہ وقت پورا ہوچکاتھااس لیے کوئی افاقہ نہیں ہوااور آخروہ قیدِ حیات سے ہی آزاد ہوگئے ۔اﷲ تعالیٰ غریق رحمت کرے اور بیش از بیش ان کے مدارج بڑھائے ۔آمین [نومبر۱۹۵۵ء]
This research article consist unique study regarding constitution of Human being character building in the thoughts of eminent philosopher Shah Wali Ullah (1703-1764). In present critique the focus has been made to explore how individual characters build in the specific environments? How surrounding effects on the character building? Moreover linkage of Islamic ‘IB└DA and its positive impact on the Muslim society has been explored. In interpretation of Shah Wali Ullah, All ‘IB└DA are like tools which lead to generate four basic ethics i.e purity and transparency capitulation, gainful and abstinence. These are the basic moral code which are the ultimate result of the four kind of ‘IB└DA i.e prayer, fasting, zakat and hajj. Muslim has inestimable inner power in the form of six lat┐’ef )اطلفئ, )which ultimately resulted upon the change of behavior. Character building are etiquettes, noble practices, decentness and good morality. It is generally refers to a code of conduct, that an individual group or society hold as authoritative in distinguishing right from wrong. Ethics are phenomenon values and can develop up to reasonable universal standards. Conduct in Islam governs all aspects of life and specifically addresses such principles as truthfulness, honesty, trust, sincerity, brotherhood and justice, while Islam forbid false, conspiracy, dodge, rude, irascibility, corruption. To materialize the virtues and disgrace the fake a role model prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) were deputed from Allah to guide the human being. So In present article character building in the theory of Shah Wali Ullah especially while in other Muslims scholars in general has diagnosed.
This study was aimed to prepare polyherbal formulations for weight loss considering six herbs: Allium sativum, Plantago ovata, Nigella sativa, Carum copticum, Trigonella foenum-graecum and Syzygium aromaticum. This study was carried out in five phases: Preparation and formulation, Pharmacological and biological activities, Phytochemical investigations, efficacy trial on animals (rabbits and guinea pigs) and human trials. Irradiation was performed using “Cobalt 60” (dosages of 10 and 5 kGy) as the source on polyherbal formulations for shelf life extension before using in efficacy trial. Crude methanolic extract (Crd. MeOH Ext.) and different fractions of all selected plants were investigated for various pharmacological and biological activities including, antibacterial, antifungal, phytotoxic and insecticidal. The pharmacological / biological investigations revealed that C. copticum possesses significant antifungal activity in Crd. MeOH Ext. against Trichoderma harzianum (91%), while Crd. MeOH Ext. of S. aromaticum showed significant activity against Penicillium oxalicum (85%), chloroform (CHCl3) extract of A. sativum showed significant activity against Verticillium lecanii (87%), Crd. MeOH Ext. of N. sativa showed significant antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (89%), Proteus mirabilis (96%), Bacillus cereus (89%) and Xanthomonas oryzae (88%). The plant materials showed significant phytotoxic effects against Lemna minor at higher concentrations; Crd. MeOH Ext. of N. sativa showed good growth regulation (75%) at 1000 µg/mL, moderate growth regulation (50%) at 100 µg/mL and low growth regulation in aqueous fraction (30%) at 10 µg/mL concentrations;Crd. MeOH Ext. of A. sativum, C. copticum and S. aromaticum showed significant insecticidal activity (90, 90 and 100%, respectively) against Tribolium castaneum. The phytochemical investigations showed that the quantity of tannin (0.54 mg/100 g), alkaloids (0.45 mg/100 g) and flavonoids (0.058 mg/100 g) was increased by the use of irradiations while vitamin C showed a slight decrease of 5 mg/100g. Efficacy trials on animals showed decrease in body weight and cholesterol level, while increased serum glutamic transaminase (SGPT) level. The alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin levels were normalised by the use of polyherbal formulations. Haemoglobin and platelets were increased in number, while monocytes, eosinophil, neutrophils and lymphocytes remained unchanged in both rabbits and guinea pigs. Human efficacy trials by use of polyherbal formulations for a period of two months exhibited decrease in body weight, body measurements, low density lipoprotein (LDL), alkaline phosphatase, fasting glucose and total cholesterol levels, while increase was observed in platelets count, haemoglobin level and high density lipoprotein (HDL) level. No changes were reported for monocytes, eosinophil, neutrophils and lymphocytes counts. For shelflife extension, the polyherbal formulations were exposed to different irradiation doses of 10 and 5 kGy (source: Cobalt 60) and then compared with un-irradiated samples. In this case, same results were found. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 16 was used for the calculation of results; two-way, one-way ANOVA and chi-square tests were used (P< 0.05).
