الشيخ حافظ محمد إدريس وأسلوبه في تفسيره كشاف القرآن

Pashtun Ulama have always been in the service of Islam. The origin of Pashtun people in Pakistan is the province of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa formerly known is North West Frontier Province (NWFP). Pashtun Ulama have served Islam on different fronts; some have done Jihad against the non-Muslims, some of them have offered their services in the field of Islamic education, ie, teaching in Madrassas, while some have served Islam via their writing commentary of Qur’ān, explanation of Ḥadīth and juristic problems. This article discusses the worthy contributions of one of the great commentators of Qur’ān Shaykh Ḥāfiẓ Muḥammad Idrīs, who belonged to Mardan in the Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, He lived in the 19th century. The article encompasses a detailed biography of the writer and his worthy contribution in serving Qur’ān, Islam and Muslims focusing on his commentary on Qur’ān in Pashto language named as “Kashshāf Al Qur’ān”. The method used for the research is descriptive and qualitative. The review literature showed that such an esteemed and vigorous scientist of different sciences of Qur’ān and his valuable contributions are out of the reach of scholars and libraries that may lead to an irreparable loss of the Islamic legacy. The study came up with the outcomes of his efforts in the field exegesis of Qur’ān, and the way and pattern he followed in interpreting different meanings of the revealed literature. The study would help out Islamic scholars and will enrich the domain of the Qur’ān’s research with new thoughts and viewpoints

Variational Iteration Techniques for Solving Boundary Value Problems

This work is devoted to the study of variational iteration technique and its modifications for the solution of initial and boundary value problems. The proposed modifications are made by the elegant coupling of He’s polynomials and Adomian’s polynomials in the correction functional of variational iteration method. The proposed techniques are applied without any discretization, linearization and unrealistic assumptions. It has been observed that variational iteration method and its modified versions are very efficient and reliable for the solution of nonlinear problems of physical nature. Several examples are given which reveal the efficiency and accuracy of the suggested algorithms.
