بندہ ناچیز انتہائی ادب سے عرض گزار ہے کہ اللہ رب العزت نے ہمیں انسان بنایا اور اپنے پیارے محبوب کے دامن رحمت سے وابستہ فرمایا ۔ علاوہ ازیں بے شمار نعمتوں سے نوازا۔
ہمیں چاہیے کہ ہم اپنے رب کی عبادت کریں اور اس کے شکر گزار بندے بنیں۔ شریعت مطہرہ کے مطابق اپنی زندگی بسر کریں، لیکن ہم دین سے بہت دور ہوتے جارہے ہیں ۔ نفس کی خواہشات اور رسم و رواج کو بہت زیادہ اہمیت دیتے ہیںاور دین کے معاملہ بھی اپنی مرضی کرتے ہیں ۔ کسی نے کیا اچھا لکھا ہے:
جیویں پیارا راضی ہووے مرضی ویکھ سجن دی
جئے کر مرضی اپنی لوڑیں ایہہ گل کدے نہ بندی
جب کہ خدمت، ہمدردی ، درد دل کا جذبہ ہونا چاہیے ۔ علماء کا کام تو صرف بتادینا ہے عمل ہم نے کرنا ہے: ’’جیسا کریں گے ویسا بھریں گے‘‘ ۔ ذکر آتا ہے کہ بھگت کبیر کی جھونپڑی مذبح خانے کے پاس تھی ۔ جانور ذبح ہوتے وقت درد بھری آواز نکالتے تو آپ پریشان ہوکر کلی سے باہر آجاتے ۔ آخر آپ نے فرمایا :
کبیرا تیری جھونپڑی گل کٹیوں کے پاس
جو کرے سو بھرے توں کیوں رہے اداس
یہ دنیا کی زندگی بہت ہی مختصر ہے۔ سب کچھ یہیں چھوڑ کر چلے جانا ہے۔ کسی نے کیا خوب لکھا ہے:
اجڑ گئے وہ باغ جس کے لاکھوں مالی تھے
سکندر جب گیا دنیا سے دونوں ہاتھ خالی تھے
لکھیا چن چراغ نے سرفراز خان نوں:
کجھ کھا لیئے کجھ پی لیئے کچھ دے دیئے رحمان نوں
اتنا غرور نہیں چاہیے اس قبر دے مہمان نوں
چن چراغ میاں اس پینگ نے ٹٹ جاونا
ایہ جیہڑی چڑھی ہے اسمان نوں
اس زندگی کو کیوں نہ اللہ کی یاد میں...
The Arabic language faces many hurdles in its expansion and progress in the non-Arab world internationally. This time our focus is the multi-lingual community Nigeria. Nigeria is a country of languages, where there are hordes of mother tongues (dialects) , an official language and then there is a religious language as well. It is very tough to focus on the Arabic language in this myriad of languages though; it enjoys a historic status and prestige there. A few reasons for this lack of focus on Arabic language Nigeria are as follow: 1. The British colonialism and its treacherous role to downplay the Arabic language. 2. To segregate Arabic from Muslim Ummah in Nigeria, the colonialists thus promoted English and French as official administrative languages. 3. Dearth of text books in Arabic at primary and secondary level. Moreover there are no well equipped language laboratories to develop Arabic in Nigeria. 4. The stranded economic state of the country. 5. The scarcity of Arabic press houses in Nigeria and lack of interest in the Arabic language by the general public. A few suggestions to promulgate and develop the Arabic language in Nigeria are as follow: a. Students’ attention needs to be drawn towards the Arabic language as a modern and rich language. For this all the available resources need to be exhausted. b. The Arabic language centres should be developed where proficient teachers should teach Arabic. The present faculty for Arabic should do refresher courses in Arabic to enhance their capabilities. c. The availability of Arabic text books to cater the various levels of the students is made possible. A committee should monitor the overall process and progress of Arabic language in Nigeria. d. The Nigerian government should play an active role in the development and progress of the Arabic language in Nigeria
Tomato and chilli are economically important crops of Pakistan. Both of these are necessary part of our daily diet in the form of vegetables, salad and other culinary uses. Among biotic factors, the viruses are considered as substantial limiting factors reducing yield and deteriorating quality and quantity of tomato and chilli crops. The potyviruses like Chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV), Potato virus Y (PVY), Pepper veinal mottle virus (PVMV), Pepper vein banding virus (PVBV) and Tobacco etch virus (TEV) have been reported as tremendous threats to the production of these crops worldwide including Pakistan. Management of plant viruses depends upon rapid and specific detection and identification, which is mostly facilitated by molecular techniques like PCR/RT-PCR/NA hybridization. The Molecular data on native Pakistani solanacious potyviruses was scare and their genetic variability was unknown. So the present research was conducted to determine the incidence, distribution and genetic variability based on molecular characterization of Pakistani solanaceous Potyviruses. A total of 2423 tomato and chilli leaf samples from 16 tomato and chilli growing districts viz; Badin, Thatta, Umerkot, Hyderabad, Tandu Allayar, Bahawalpur, Multan, Lodhran, Muzafargarh, Faisalabad, Vehari, Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, Sialkot, Sheikupura, Karak and Loralai were collected in 2013-2014, of which only 920 samples were positive for potyviruses by PTA ELISA. Of these positive samples, the ChiVMV, PVY and ChiRSV were detected in 526, 323 and 71 samples respectively. The overall incidence of Potyvirus, ChiVMV, PVY and ChiRSV was recorded as 38%, 21.7%, 13.33% and 0.3% respectively. 20 The co-infections of ChiVMV and PVY was detected in 29 tomato samples and 31 chilli samples. While, co-infection of ChiVMV and ChiRSV and of ChiRSV and PVY in 18 and 24 chilli samples respectively. The highest incidence was recorded from Lodhran, Multan, Bahawalpur and Rawalpindi districts and the lowest from Karak, Loralai, Sheikhupura and Mansehra districts. The sequences of five ChiVMV, three PVY and 2 ChiRSV isolates were submitted to genbank. The Pakistani isolates of ChiVMV shared nucleotide identities of 90-97.5% with each other and 82.4-90.5% with other ChiVMV isolates. The nucleotide sequences of PVY isolates were 98.699.1% to each other and 98.2-99% with other PVY isolates. The ChiRSV isolates were 98.4% identical to each other, while they shared 92.6-98.1% identities with other ChiRSV isolates. The Pakistani isolates of ChiVMV clustered and shared maximum nucleotide identities with Indian isolates, while PVY and ChiRSV with chines isolates.
