11. Hud /Prophet Hud
I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah
The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

This - Qur’an - is a Divine Book with Clear Injunctions that are distinctly explained.
This is from The One and Only Allah, WHO is All-Wise and All-Knowing of everything,
11:02
proclaiming:
Do not submit in worship to anyone apart from Allah – The One and Only God.
Truly I – Muhammad ibn Abdallah - am designated as a warner as well as a herald of good news to you from HIM.
11:03
And:
Seek forgiveness from your Rabb - The Lord and turn towards HIM in awe and repentance.
Whereupon HE will provide you with best things of life for an appointed period, and
favor those with blessings who are worthy of HIS Grace.
d. But if you turn away, then, I fear for you the punishment of an Awful Time - the Time of Resurrection.
11:04
To Allah, you all have to go back -
for HE Manifests Sovereignty over all creations.
11:05
Look, how they are folding up their hearts trying to hide disbelief and hypocrisy from HIM.
However, even as they wrap themselves up with their outer garments, HE still Knows what they conceal and what they reveal,
for HE Knows full well what lies within their hearts.
11:06
There is not a living creature on the earth but its livelihood is provided by Allah.
And HE Knows its time-limit on earth and habitation and its final resting place -
for everything is recorded in a Clear Book.

The public's reaction to the implementation of health protocols during the Covid-19 pandemic is discussed in this report, as well as the idea of enforcing public health protocols, the relevance of implementing health protocols, and the public's reaction to implementing health protocols during the Covid-19 pandemic. This thesis is a quantitative one that relies on data gathered from surveys. The public reaction demonstrates that health guidelines are needed to strengthen attempts to avoid and monitor COVID-19 for people in public places and hospitals in order to avoid the emergence of new epicenters / clusters during the pandemic, as shown by the 78 percent who cooperate and the 22 percent who deliberately and inadvertently disregard. The community's position in breaking the COVID-19 transmission chain, or the possibility of contracting and distributing it, must be accomplished by the implementation of health protocols. The community's reaction to COVID 19 varies; some people really follow the government's protocol, which some people understand; but, for economic reasons, they still operate outside the home to survive.
The persistent organic pollutants (POPs), particularly organochlorines are of key global concern due to their persistence and toxicity in the environment. The present study investigated the occurrence levels, spatio-temporal distribution, risks to both, ecological integrity and human health through dermal and oral exposure to the organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) across River Ravi and its three northern tributaries (Nullah Bein, Nullah Basantarand Nullah Deg) that provides the baseline data for the occurrence of POPs from the study area. The present study is a pioneer investigation from Pakistan to assess the bioavailable level of POPs using mussels as bioindicator species. The water (n=54) and sediments (n=54) samples from twenty-seven sampling sites and freshwater mussels (n=30) samples from fifteen sampling stations were collected across the four aforementioned streams in two alternate seasons (pre-monsoon and post-monsoon). The ∑23OCPs concentrations were ranged from 13.61 to 1992.18 ng/g dry weight (dw), 189.66 to 2049.40 ng/g, and 12.89 to 128.16 ng/L in sediment, freshwater mussels and water matrices, respectively. The ∑35PCBs concentrations were ranged from 1.06 to 95.76 ng/g (dw) in sediments, 1.94 to 11.66 ng/L in water, and 25.81 to 135.38 ng/g in freshwater mussel samples. Among the OCPs, the dominance of ΣDDTs, ΣHCHs and Σendosulfan were observed in all three studied environmental matrices. The PCBs homologs analysis indicated that penta-CBs and hexaCBs in sediments and mussels, and tetra-CBs and tri-CBs in water were predominant homologs. Based on the POPs contamination levels, the tributaries of River Ravi followed the contamination order as; Nullah Deg> Nullah Basantar > Nullah Bein and fresh addition of lindane, technical DDTs and chlordane were identified in the study area. The OCs levels in the environment were found to be higher than previous studies from Pakistan and other parts of the world. The ecological risk assessment indicates considerable potential ecological risk (= 95.17) associated with PCBs contaminations. The ecological risk assessment of OCPs elucidates high risks for endosulfan (αendosulfan) and endrin. The human health risk assessment indicated absence of hazardous (non-carcinogenic) risk through dermal exposure in studied streams; while, the considerable carcinogenic risks associated to aldrin, dieldrin, p,p’-DDT, β-endosulfan and PCBs was found at certain studied sites. The oral exposure to OCs through mussels consumption revealed existence of substantial carcinogenic risk (Hazard Ratio > 1) for OCPs and PCB at both, 50th and 95th percentile concentration in mussel tissues. Therefore, the high levels of ecological risk and carcinogenic human health risk had emphasized an immediate elimination of ongoing OCPs usage and PCBs release in the studied area. Moreover, in Pakistan, comprehensive ecological and human health risk studies, and firm statutory initiatives are needed to be taken in debt to the Stockholm Convention, 2001 to cope up with the OCs contamination in various environmental matrices of the country.
