قائم دین (افسانوی مجموعہ)
قائم دین ناطق کا پہلا افسانوی مجموعہ ہے جسے 2010ء میں آکسفورڈ اور پھر 2018ء میں سانجھ پبلی کیشنز نے چھاپا یہ کتاب 128 صفحات پر مشتمل ہے اور اس کا انتساب افتخار عارف کے نام ہے۔یہاں ہر ایک افسانے کا الگ الگ جائزہ پیش کرنا مشکل ہے۔
مصنف مذکور نے مشاہدے کی کیا صورت حال بیان کی ہے۔اس کا طرز بیان کیسا ہے اس کے مطابق یہ بتانا مقصود ہے کہ جہاں انہیں زبان پر عبور حاصل ہے وہاں ان کا طرز بیان بھی نہایت سادہ اور جلد سمجھ آجانے والا ہے۔قاری کو اپنی گرفت میں رکھتا ہے۔ قائم دین کے تمام افسانوں میں ان کا ایک خاص انداز تحریر ہیکہ قاری ایک ہی نشست میں تمام افسانے پڑھ لینا چاہتا ہے۔ ہر افسانہ اپنے اندر ایک منفرد کہانی رکھتا ہے،قاری افسانے میں پڑھنے والے واقعات کو اپنی زندگی کا حصہ سمجھتا ہے۔ظفر اقبال ناطق کے افسانوں پہ انھیں داد دیتیہوئے لتین ہیں کہ:
ہم تو جو ہیں جہاں سے آئے ہیں
آپ لیکن کہاں سے آئے ہیں
ناطق کا کام دادکے قابل ہے جو انھیںدوسرے ادیبوں سے ممتاز کرتا ہے ہر افسانہ اپنے اندر ایک امتیازی وصف رکھتا ہے۔افسانوں میں موجود تمام کہانیاں حقیقت سے اس قدر قریب ہیں کہ قاری کو اپنی زندگی کا حصہ معلوم ہوتی ہیں۔
Nawab Siddique Hassan Khan is renowned author of Sub-Continent and placed a well-known award for his writings. This article describes the methodology and characteristics of Al Shmamat ul Anbriyah min maulid e khair ul briyah. This book is basically a seerat study and contains on many new but unfamiliar sources of Seerah. So, he had a great addition on seerat by writing this book. It was in ancient Urdu, hardly to understand its text. The author made this possible in his research work and he also examined its methodology. In this article a managed and detailed description of this book is presented. However, we found some unique errors of references and textual study of seerah. Mostly he used a random method during the writing of this book. Author found many features of this book, whom doesn’t exist in other seerat books like this. Still there are many points, which decrease its importance and creates negative opinion regarding his seerat writing, as some times he included third party research and paid its credit to himself and many places he added irrelevant narrations to his subject.
In the present study, traditionally used antidiabetic plants (Cassia absus, Moringa oleifera, Dalbergia sissoo, Mangifera indica, Azadirachta indica, Syzygium cumini, Heliotropium strigosum, Momordica charantia and Fagonia indica) were collected from different areas of Punjab, Pakistan. Ethanolic and aqueous extracts of plants obtained through stirring (extraction technique) were evaluated for antioxidant activity (2, 2- diphenylpicrylhydrazyl), antidiabetic activities (in vitro alpha amylase inhibition assay) and phytochemical studies (total phenolic and flavonoid contents). Further, antidiabetic activities (antihyperglycemic & antihyperlipidemic) of three plants (Moringa oleifera, Fagonia indica and Heliotropium strigosum) were also evaluated through in vivo experiments. Although all plant extracts exhibited good antioxidant and antidiabetic (alpha amylase inhibition) activities. However, aqueous extracts were found to have better alpha amylase inhibition activities and higher phenolic acids than ethanolic extracts. Aqueous extract of Heliotropium strigosum exhibited maximum inhibition (58.6±0.03%) at 1ppm. Overall, both aqueous and ethanolic extracts of selected plants showed good antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic activities in alloxan induced diabetic rabbits but Fagonia indica aqueous extract caused maximum reduction (75.36%) in blood glucose level of alloxan induced diabetic rabbits after 21 days of treatment. High performance liquid chromatography analysis evidenced the presence of phenolic acids in all plants extracts. The variation in yield, phytochemicals constituents and biological activities of most of the plant extracts, with respect to solvent and plant species were statistically significant.
