اسلامی ریاست میں غیر مسلم رعایا کے حقوق

“Minority” is a word which is considered a challenge for any political system. This article discusses how a certain political system deals with the idea and rights of a minority. If a minority enjoys the privileges in a society that political system is considered as perfect. Islam, the revealed religion, has not overlooked the status of a minority. Rights of a minority is one of the top priorities in Islam. This article brings to the fore the very status which Islam gives to the minorities and which they enjoyed while living in the Islamic poltical and social set up. Islam not only gives minorities the right to live in an Islamic Society, but also gives them protection. The word “Dhimmis” gives minorities the protection in an Islamic society which they never entertain in their own society. Whether it was the time of the Holy Prophet, the Abbasid’s or Umayyad, everywhere in the Islamic society they enjoyed not only as minorities but also they were allowed to build churches, join Islamic forces and to become viziers, etc. It clearly reveals that Islam is a religion of peace that not only gives good tidings to the believers but aslo to the minorities who live among them. This article is a small replica of what the minorities enjoyed in the Islamic society.

Biochemical Profile of Milk from Oxytocin Injected Buffaloes

Milk is a lacteal secretion obtained by milking of healthy animals in its natural form, free from colostrum contains a highly rich source of energy, protein, fats, minerals, trace elements, vitamins, enzymes and others. Oxytocin, a hormone, released by pituitary gland into the blood, stimulates the secretion of milk and is bound with myoepithilial cells to induce the contraction of mammary gland resulting the expulsion of milk into the milk ducts (let down). The use of exogenous oxytocin is increasing day by day in Pakistan, which could affect the consumer’s health and milk constituents. Selected breed of buffaloes (Nili Ravi) is the best dairy animals existing in Pakistan, with good milk production. Milk of 24 Nili Ravi buffaloes were collected fortnightly fromcontrol and oxytocin treated samples from Tarir Dairy Farm, Dhanola. The samples were analyzed to determine changes in composition, enzyme activity, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals due to oxytocin. Data obtained for each attribute was subjected to statistical analysis.Oxytocin administration to buffaloes resulted in increasedpH, proteins, lactose and solid-not-fat and decreased in fat percent. Alkaline phosphotase, acid phosphotase, lactoperoxidase activity, and thiocyanate were high in oxytocin treated buffaloes while lipase activity was increased in control. Caprylic acid(C 8 ), capric acid (C 10 ), myristic acid (C 14 ), palmitic (C 16 ) were high while butyric acid (C 4 ), caproic acid (C 6 ), lauric acid (C 12 ), steric acid (C 18 ), oleic acid (C 18:1 ), linoleic acid (C 18:2 ) were low in oxytocin treated buffalo. Vitamins (A, D, E and C) were increased in oxytocin treated buffaloes as compared to control. Sodium, phosphorus, copper were increased whereas decrease in potassium, iron and zinc in experimental group. From this study it is concluded that regular oxytocin injections should be discouraged because it not only affect the milk composition but also has a promising effect on health of the consumers.
