کل من علیھا فان
آہ!کیونکر کہیے! جس کا کھٹکا شروع سے لگا ہوا تھا آخروہی ہو کر رہا۔ آٹھ، نو مہینے کی اس درمیانی مدت میں رہ کر وہ کونسا اعلیٰ سے اعلیٰ علاج تھا جس میں کوئی دقیقہ اٹھا کے رکھا گیا نہ ہو۔سیکڑوں ختم بخاری شریف کے ہوئے۔ہزاروں لاکھوں، اﷲ کے نیک بندوں نے دعائے شبانہ کی ۔ اکابر و بزرگان ملت نے غلاف کعبہ پکڑ کرمنتیں مانیں۔ مگر جو مشیت کافیصلہ تھا وہ ہوکر رہا اور۲/اگست کوآخری شب میں ملت اسلامیہ کے ترکش کاخدنگ آخریں،علم وفضل کے خزانہ کاگوہر شب چراغ، درج شرف ومجد کا در تابندہ،اخلاق وفضائل کاپیکر،ملک اورقوم کی دساور کا متاع گرانما یہ اس عالم ناسوت کوخیرآباد کہہ کر ہمیشہ کے لیے جداہوگیااور اور دنیا کوایک ماتم سرابنا گیا۔اناﷲ واناالیہ راجعون۔عربی کے مشہور شعر میں قیس کی جگہ’’حفظ‘‘رکھ دیجیے تومعلوم ہوگا کہ یہ شعر عرصہ پہلے کسی نے اسی موقع کے لیے کہا تھا:
وماکان حفظ ھلکہ ھلک واحد
ولکنہ بنیان قوم تھدما
مولانا حفظ الرحمن یوں ہونے کو توکیا نہیں تھے۔علوم وفنون اسلامیہ کے بلندپایہ عالم،متصوف،مصنف،ولولہ انگیز خطیب اورمقرر،جنگ آزادی کے سپہ سالار اور ہیرو، مخلص اوربے لوث خادم ملک وملت سبھی کچھ تھے۔ مگر ملک کی آزادی کے بعد اُنھوں نے جو رول ادا کیاہے اُس کی تاریخ اس قدر شاندار ہے کہ اس میں کوئی ایک شخص بھی اُن کاحریف وسہیم نہیں ہوسکتا۔بے لوث اورجانبازانہ خدمت کی وجہ سے اُن کے قومی کارناموں کاریکارڈ اس درجہ بے داغ تھا کہ اُن کابڑے سے بڑا مخالف بھی اس پرحرف گیری نہیں کرسکتا تھا۔اس کے علاوہ صاف دماغی اورمعاملہ فہمی کایہ عالم تھا کہ اعلیٰ سے اعلیٰ تعلیم یافتہ حضرات اور بلندپایہ ارباب سیاست کے مجمع میں بیٹھتے تھے اوراُن سے اپنی بات منواکر اُٹھتے تھے۔ پھر حق گوئی اورجرأت کی یہ شان کہ جس چیز کوحق سمجھا اسے برملا...
Muslim–Christian relations are as mature as Islamic history itself. Historical evidences state the first interaction of Muslims and Christians occurred in 5th year after nabuwwah (615 AD) when Muslims migrated to Ḥabshah (Abyssinia) and second contact was established after immigration of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to Madinah. After getting socio-political stability in 8th hijrī (629 AD), Muhammad (PBUH) sent letters and ambassadors to different statesmen and religious leaders to spread the Islamic Mission and Message globally. One letter was also sent to the chief Bishop of Najrān. In response, the chief Bishop of Najrān accepted the invitation and personally came to meet the Prophet (PBUH) with his reputed delegation. The beloved Messenger (PBUH) warmly welcomed this delegation. As a result, the peace agreement was reached after some theological debate and discussion. Later on, throughout history, the relations between Muslims and Christians have been in situation of up and down. It’s also a fact that over the centuries, the Muslims-Christians relations had sometimes been one of enmity, sometimes one of rivalry, competition, and encounter. In spite of it, the Najrān’s delegation case has a historical significance in Muslim-Christian relations in the literature of both religions. Therefore, in this study efforts were made to explore the event of Najrān delegation as theological foundations for Muslim-Christian relations in times of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and how can we get benefit from it in modern era. Moreover, this study perceives that the case of Najrān delegation was the first practical interaction between Muslims and Christians of that age. Hence, we could get benefit from it with its modern applications and interpretations. The analytical, comparative and historical approaches have been adopted in this study with qualitative paradigm. I compared and analysed the case in Islamic and Christian context and then gave recommendation for its application.
Robots are playing quite a useful role in many industries. In nuclear industry, robots protect radiation workers from receiving radiation doses while working in highly active areas. They also improve the quality of work and demonstrate profitability in nuclear industry. The aim of this project was to design and develop a Radiation Protection Assistant Robot (RPAR) for assisting radiation workers in a radioactive environment for routine work as well as in emergency situation. During an emergency situation, where higher doses are likely to be received, RPAR can be used effectively to perform various tasks, such as radiation mapping, sampling and handling radioactive waste/materials. To accomplish these tasks a mobile robot having 4 Degree-Of-Freedom (DOF) articulated robotic arm was designed and developed using locally available components and indigenous resources. The mechanical segments, i.e. gripper, wrist, elbow, shoulder and waist were developed at Pakistan Institute of Engineering & Applied Sciences (PIEAS) and Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science & Technology (PINSTECH). The main platform was developed to carry on-board computer, rechargeable battery, controlling electrical and electronics modules/circuits. The electronic modules have been developed using components available in local market. These modules include H-bridge, relay logic, parallel port interface and limit switch modules. Control panel and remote console are developed to control and operate the RPAR. An embedded controller card was also developed to determine the positions of various links of RPAR. RPAR weighs 55.6 kg. It is powered by a 12 V DC rechargeable dry battery. Its maximum payload capacity and reach are 2.1 kg and 1.04 m, respectively. It can be controlled by a wired remote control or an off-board PC via wireless Ethernet. Three Software namely RPARSOFT, RPAR-DEMO and SEDAS were designed and developed using Visual Basic 6.0. RPARSOFT was developed to operate the RPAR from the keyboard of an off-board computer. The RPAR- DEMO was developed to self check the electrical and electronic modules of RPAR, whereas, SEDAS was designed for the embedded controller card to determine the real time position of wrist, elbow, shoulder and waist of RPAR. Kinematics studies, Dynamics analysis, manipulator Jacobian and work space analyses were performed to study the performance and range of the robot. Repeatability range and payload capacity of RPAR was measured. Radiation hardening study has also been carried out to check the stability and reliability of the commercial components in the field of gamma radiation. The modules were found working satisfactorily before and after irradiating them up to a dose of 9 Sv. The objectives have been achieved successfully.
