گرامیؔ، غلام قادر، شیخ
حضرت گرامیؔ
ہندوستان کے کہنہ مشق اور فارسی کے مسلم الثبوت شاعر حضرت گرامی نے ۲۶؍ مئی ۱۹۲۷ء کو چند روزہ علالت کے بعد اس دنیائے فانی کو الوداع کہا، مرحوم پنجاب کے ضلع جالندھر کے رہنے والے تھے، فارسی شاعری سے ان کو فطری لگاؤ تھا، کچھ دنوں امرتسر کے ایک اسلامی مدرسہ میں معلم رہے، پھر اعلیٰ حضرت نظام سابق مرحوم کی قدر شناس نگاہ نے ان کو تاکا اور اپنے دربار کا فارسی شاعر مقرر کیا، اخیر عمر میں حیدرآباد سے جالندھر آکر جب قیام کیا تو ان کی صحبت اور فیض اثر سے متعدد نوجوان اردو شاعر پیدا ہوئے، جن میں ابولاثر حفیظؔ اور سالکؔ کے نام سب سے اونچے ہیں، ڈاکٹر اقبال نے بھی جب سے فارسی میں کہنا شروع کیا، ان سے استفادہ میں دریغ نہیں کیا، زبان کے معاملہ میں وہ ان کی سند تھے، افسوس ہے کہ اب کشورِ ہند ایسے یگانہ نامور کے وجود سے خالی ہوگیا۔
مرحوم سے صرف ایک دفعہ آل انڈیا شعراء کانفرنس دہلی منعقدہ ۱۹۲۳ء میں ملاقات ہوئی تھی، بے حد ملنسار، متواضع اور مرنجان آدمی تھے، ایک سال پہلے تک ان کے اکثر خطوط میری عزت بڑھاتے رہتے تھے اور کبھی کبھی معارف کے صفحوں کو بھی اپنے نغموں سے معمور کیا کرتے تھے، مولانا شبلی مرحوم کے تعلق اور ان سے حیدرآباد کی یک جائی اور شاعری کی ہم پیشگی کا اثر یہ تھا کہ وہ مولانا مرحوم کی اس یادگار کو بزرگانہ محبت کی نگاہوں سے دیکھا کرتے تھے، افسوس کہ یہ فیض اب ہمیشہ کے لئے بند ہوگیا۔

Honey is an unparalleled treasure of medicinal properties. Honey has the ability to strengthen the human body's immune system. Therefore, the use of honey and other natural foods is extremely beneficial and effective in current epidemic environment. Honey is one of the most appreciated and valued natural blessing of Allah for human being. Medicinal importance of honey hase been described in Holy Quran. Holy prophet (SAW) has advised to use honey because honey provides body instant energy. There are several varieties of honey are found in different areas of the world. Honey has been taken for research because of its nutritional popularity and medicinal quality. Honey is high in important nutrients of benefits and uses. Honey contains carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and a significant amount of fiber. Nutrients of honey can improve digestive system by preventing constipation. Immunity system can be improved by using honey in epidemic environment. Honey is a source of fructose, which does not harm patients of diabetes. The fructose makes a better substitute for sugar because of the fiber, nutrients and antioxidants. Honey is comprised of several minerals including phosphorus, iron, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Honey has very small amount of protein and fats. This research paper analyzes ingredients and minerals of honey in Islamic perspective. The research work highlights medical benefits of honey in the light of modern science and Islamic teachings in the current epidemic environment.
In this modern era, a world without synthetic polymers is incredible. Polyurethanes (PUs) one of these, are versatile materials and can be processed in a number of ways to obtain a wide range of valuable products e.g. adhesives, coatings, foams, and fibers. Utilization of renewable materials for the manufacturing of the polymers is desirable and appreciated from sustainability, as well as ecological considerations. In the past few decades, polymer/clay bio-nanocomposites have been extensively investigated due to their improved properties, including biodegradability, thermal stability, flame resistance and gas barrier properties, when compared to neat polymer. To improve the properties of an individual polymer system it is common to blend them with other natural or synthetic polymers. The carbohydrates based cross-linker (starch, cellulose, chitosan, and carrageenan) employed in the synthesis of PUs helped to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of the polymer. The cross-linking between carbohydrates and polyurethanes gives amorphous polymer micro-domains which transfer the stress to cross-link carbohydrates which increase the mechanical strength. Because of unique biological behavior of chitosan (CS), including nontoxicity and biodegradability, various applications of CS have been found either alone or blended with other natural polymers (starch, dextrin, carboxymethyl cellulose, alginates, gelatin) in the agriculture, pharmaceutical, water treatment, food, cosmetics, and textile industries. The present research work has been designed to synthesize chitosan based polyurethane bio-nanocomposites (PUBNCs) by step-growth polymerization technique using hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and polycaprolactone diol (PCL) as a flexible spacer (polyol). Different samples of PUBNCs were prepared by varying the blends of 1,4-butanediol and chitosan as chain extenders. Effect of diisocyanate structure on the properties of PUs has been studied using various diisocyanates like isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), 4,4''-methylene bis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) (H12MDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) and 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI). Blends of chitosan along with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) also incorporated into the polyurethane (PU) to prepare cost-effective polyurethane. Various properties of chitosan and blends incorporated PUs like surface, structural, mechanical, thermal, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial properties were improved with the addition of chitosan into the PU. Chitosan has been found an extraordinary for the preparation of PU and chitosan made PU a desirable material for the biomedical as well as industrial applications.
