آہ! حضرت مولانا شاہ ابرارالحق حقی ؒ
افسوس کہ مشہور عالم، مصلح و مربی مولانا شاہ ابرارالحق کا انتقال ہر دوئی میں ۱۶؍ مئی کی شب میں ہوگیا، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون، قریب ۹۰ سال کی عمر پائی، ان کی وفات سے دینی و علمی خصوصاً اصلاح و ارشاد کے حلقوں میں جو ماتم برپا ہے، اس سے اندازہ ہوتا ہے کہ ان کی رحلت سے قوم و ملت کو کس درجہ نقصان و حرمان کا احساس ہے۔
وہ حکیم الامت مولانا تھانویؒ کی بزم دوشیں کی آخری شمع تھے، مولانا تھانویؒ سے براہ راست اکتسابِ فیض کی نسبت ان کی دینی و اصلاحی خدمات کی عظمت و وسعت اور فیض یا فتگان کی بے مثال کثرت میں ہمیشہ برکت کا سبب بنی رہی، مولانا تھانویؒ کے متعلق اہلِ دل کا یہ قول نقل کیا گیا ہے کہ ’’اﷲ تعالیٰ نے ان کے زمانے کے باصلاحیت لوگوں کو ان کے گرد جمع فرما دیا تھا‘‘، اس کی تصدیق واقعتا حضرت تھانویؒ کے سینکڑوں خلفا اور ہزاروں مریدوں کے جایزے سے ہوتی ہے جن میں ہر شخص آفتاب و ماہتاب تھا، مولانا ابرارالحق صاحب خانقاہ تھانہ بھون سے بیت کی اجازت پانے والوں میں سب سے کم عمر تھے، مولانا تھانویؒ کی مشہور اصول پسندی اور صحبت و بیعت کی اجازت کے باب میں شدت احتیاط کے باوجود ایک نوعمر کو خلافت و اجازت عطا کیے جانے سے کم سن مرید کی صلاحیت و عظمت کا اندازہ لگانا مشکل نہیں جس کی بعد کی زندگی کے ہرنقش نے ثابت کیا کہ نگاہ مرشد کیسی جو ہر شناس تھی۔
مولانا ابرارالحق سے قبل ان کے والد ماجد مولوی محمودالحق حقی بھی مولانا تھانویؒ کے دست گرفتہ اور مجاز صحبت تھے، مولانا تھانویؒ نے ایک بار اپنے ملفوظات میں معاملات کو دین سے الگ سمجھنے اور رکھنے کی بابت فرمایا...
The concept of citizenship is one of the pillars upon which the modern civil state was built. The concept of citizenship can be considered as the basic guarantee for both the government and individuals to clarify the relationship between them, since under this right individuals can acquire and apply their rights freely and also based on this right the state can regulate how society members perform the duties imposed on them, which will contributes to the development of the state and society. The term citizenship has been used in a wider perspective, itimplies the nationality of the State where the citizen obtains his civil, political, economic, social, cultural and religious rights and is free to exercise these rights in accordance with the Constitution of the State and the laws governing thereof and without prejudice to the interest. In return, he has an obligation to perform duties vis-à-vis the state so that the state can give him his rights that have been agreed and contracted. This paper seeks to explore firstly, the modern connotation of citizenship where it is based on the idea of rights and duties. Thus the modern ideal of citizenship is based on the relationship between the individual and the state. The Islamic civilization was spanned over fourteen centuries and there were certain laws and regulations governing the relationship between the citizens and the state, this research will try to discover the main differences between the classical concept of citizenship and the modern one, also this research will show us the results of this change in this concept. The research concludes that the new concept of citizenship is correct one and the one that can fit to our contemporary life and the past concept was appropriate for their time but the changes in the world force us to apply and to rethink again about this concept.
High levels of boron (B) and salinity are a serious constraint to crop production around the world. Cropping on saline and B toxic land is restricted by the low tolerance of agricultural crops to these abiotic factors. Prospects for improving B and salt tolerance in wheat can only be made possible by advance research. Frequently, B and salt occur together, however, it is unknown whether the interactions of B and salt increase or decrease the tolerance of a plant to both of these stresses. Low concentration of B is essential to plant growth and may limit the plant growth and development in excess quantity especially under saline conditions. Limited information was available regarding the effect of B on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under saline conditions. The present studies were conducted to investigate the interactive effects of salinity and B on growth, yield, physiological and biochemical responses of wheat. Hydroponics and pot studies were conducted at various B levels under normal and saline conditions. First, twelve wheat genotypes were screened out against various levels of salinity (control, 100, 200 mM NaCl) in solution culture. The SARC-I and Sehar-2006 were found as tolerant to salinity whereas, Kohistan-90 and MH-97 were categorized as salt-sensitive wheat genotypes. In a second study, these four wheat genotypes (differing in salt tolerance, selected from study-I) were grown at control, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mM B in hydroponics under non-saline and saline conditions (100 and 200 mM NaCl). The data of physical and biochemical characteristics showed that the decrease in root and shoot fresh and dry weights were more in salt-sensitive (Kohistan-90 and MH-97) than in salt-tolerant (SARC-I and Sehar-2006) wheat genotypes. Salt-tolerant wheat genotypes accumulate less B and Na+, while more K+ in their leaves than the salt-sensitive wheat genotypes. Salinity resulted in higher reduction of shoot growth while B toxicity affected root growth more than the shoots growth. The reduction in plant growth by combined salinity and B toxicity was less than the sum of reduction caused by individual salinity and B toxicity. Salinity reduced B toxic effects and B toxicity reduced salinity stress in wheat plants. Regarding the physiological responses like photosynthetic rate (PR) stomatal conductance (SC) and transpiration rate (TR) were also decreased with salinity and toxic levels of B, and salt-tolerant genotypes showed better response regarding PR, SC and TR than salt-sensitive genotypes. Moreover, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) was found higher in tolerant genotypes than sensitive ones in the presence xix of individual and combined salinity and B stresses. In a pot study, the effects of various levels of B (control, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 mg kg-1) on the growth, yield, physiological and biochemical processes of two wheat genotypes (differing in salt-tolerance, selected from study-II) in normal as well as saline (electrical conductivity i.e., EC = 10 and 20 dS m-1) soils were investigated. The plant height, straw and grain yields of wheat were increased at lower level of B and decreased at toxic B rates in both normal and salt-affected soils. In comparison with salt-tolerant SARC-I, the salt-sensitive MH-97 showed more reduction in growth, yield and physiological attributes in the presence of individual as well as combined salinity and B toxicity. Leaf B and K+ concentration decreased under saline conditions, while leaf Na+ concentration increased. Salt-tolerant genotype accumulated less Na+, Cl- and B and more K+ in leaves. The PR, TR and SC decreased, while the activity of SOD and CAT increased with increasing salinity and B stresses either alone or in combination and that were found higher in tolerant genotype as compared to sensitive one. Regarding Pakistani conditions, wheat genotype i.e., SARC-I was proved as most promising one under saline and B toxic conditions and can be directly used by farmers or can be used for the development of more salinity and B tolerant wheat genotypes by the breeders. The impacts of soil salinity and B toxicity on the carbohydrate partitioning, growth and ionic composition of two Australian wheat varieties (i.e., Halberd, salt-tolerant and Westonia, salt-sensitive) were explored, in another glasshouse experiment conducted at Murdoch University, Perth-Australia. The results showed that salt-tolerant variety accumulated more Na+, B and Cl- in their leaf sheath and kept their leaf blades free of these toxic ions than sensitive variety. Water soluble carbohydrates (WSCs; such as glucose, sucrose, fructose and fructans) concentration increased in response to individual and combined stresses of salinity and high B in leaf blade of both tolerant and sensitive varieties but the increase was higher in tolerant variety than the sensitive one. The concentration of WSCs in leaf sheath of salt-tolerant Halberd wheat variety was increased in response to stress conditions but remained low in salt-sensitive Westonia. In squat, it can be concluded from the above Ph.D. research work that salinity and B toxicity showed antagonistic relationships for their effects on wheat growth, yield, physiological and biochemical responses. The highly tolerant and low B accumulating wheat genotype can be a wise option for normal and salt-affected B-toxic conditions.
