اسلم ملک (۱۹۳۱ء پ) سیالکوٹ کے محلہ دھارو وال میں پیدا ہوئے ۔(۱۰۴۱) نثر نگاری ان کی پہچان ہے لیکن اظہار کے لیے انھوں نے شاعری کا لطیف پیرایہ بھی استعمال کیا ہے۔ اسلم ملک نے بچوں کے ادب کو زیادہ اہمیت دی ہے۔ اس لیے ان کی شاعری کا بڑا حصہ بچوں کی شاعری پر محیط ہے۔اسلم ملک نے حمد سے نعت ،غزل نظم اور ہائیکو جیسی اصناف میں طبع آزمائی کی ہے۔ اسلم ملک کا شعری مجموعہ ’’خواب اور خوشبو‘‘شائع ہو چکاہے۔ تصوف اور عشقِ حقیقی اسلم ملک کی شاعری کا ایک بڑا موضوع ہے۔ اسلم ملک کے نزدیک صرف خدائے رحیم و کریم ،تعظیم ،عظمت اور تمہیدو ستائش کا حقدار ہے۔ لالہ و گل میں اس کی خوشبو ہے۔ اور سورج چاند ستاروں کی روشنی بھی اسی سے ہے کیونکہ وہ نور اور نور کا منبع ہے:
لالہ و گل میں جو خوشبو ہے فقط تری ہے
چاند ستاروں کی چمک میں بھی ہے فیضان تیرا
گیت تیرے ہی سناتے ہیں پرندے سارے
بزمِ قیمتی کا ہر اک فرد ثنا خواں تیرا
â۱۰۴۲)
> اﷲ تعالیٰ ہی کل کائنات کا خالق و مالک ہے۔ یہ ساری خلقت اس کا کنبہ ہے۔ وہ ساری مخلوقات کا پروردگار ہے۔ عرش و فرش اس کے جلال سے بھرپور اور معمور ہے۔ وہ بنی نوع انسان کے ہر درد کا درماں اور ہر مشکل میں عقدہ کشا ہے۔ اسلم ملک اپنی ایک حمدیہ نظم میں انھی خیالات کا اظہار اس طرح سے کرتے ہیں:
تو خالق و مالک ارض و سما
1سبحان اﷲ ، سبحان...
Considering the context of this sermon one can see how Hazrat has adapted to the general tendencies of society. Where people are completely immersed in worldlinees. Today our situation is that every one is engaged in the pursuit of wealth and the worldliness has become the target of all. Hazrat Ali (RA) introduced the Quran as a guide in such a case. Calling Quran the book of life, he called it a solution of all the problems of the human society.
Genus Prunus is one of the most economically important genus of Rosaceae family with worldwide distribution. The present study was conducted to investigate the phytosociology and genetic diversity of genus Prunus and associated species in Muzaffarabad Division, Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Phytosociological data were obtained from different ecological zones by using systematic quadrat sampling following standard protocols. Results were analyzed by using multivariate ordination techniques to correlate species data with environmental variables. A total of 362 species belonging to 239 genera and 96 families were recorded from 21 selected sites. Poaceae was the leading dominant family with 37 genera and 48 species followed by Rosaceae, Asteraceae and Ranunculaceae. A total of five species of genus Prunus were recorded from studied sites with Prunus mira as dominant followed by P. armeniaca, P. domestica, P. avium and P. cerasus respectively. Megaphanerophytes was the dominant life form with 29.25 percent followed by hemicryptophytes, nanophanerophytes and therophytes, respectively. Results of leaf size spectrum revealed microphylls as dominant with 48.13 percent followed by leptophylls and nanophylls respectively. Average value of species diversity at the studied sites were 2.80; Species richness was 1.17 whereas the equitability was found to be 0.74. Cluster analysis revealed six identifiable plant clusters based upon correlation matrix. Principal component analysis verified the results of phytosociological studies showing the dominance of specific keystone species at the specific sites. Genetic diversity of genus Prunus was analyzed using a set of 39 SSR markers. A total of 96 accessions belonging to six different species of genus Prunus were used for computing various parameters of genetic diversity. The six species of genus prunus exhibit significant levels of genetic variation. Total number of observed alleles was 217 with an average of 18 alleles per locus. Average value of gene diversity between loci was 0.88 with minimum of 0.56 and maximum of 0.91. Average frequency for major alleles was determined as 0.28 with a maximum value of 0.64 in the BPPCT006 locus and minimum of 0.16 at CPPCT022. The size of DNA fragments among all loci ranged from 100-316 bp. The average value of polymorphism information content for all the loci was 0.826 with a maximum of 0.911 for the locus CPPCT022 and minimum 0.53 for the locus BPPCT006. Observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.11-0.812 with an average of 0.471 whereas expected heterozygosity varied from 0.561-0.916 with an average of 0.84. Unweighted pair group mean average method (UPGMA) results showed significant grouping among genus Prunus accessions collected from different ecological zones representing the environmental impact on genotypes. Results revealed that Prunus local land races exhibit significant genetic variations which needs to be further evaluated by employing advanced techniques. Therefore, extensive evaluation using modern research tools is recommended for conservation efficiency and improvement of germplasm management.
