نہ میرے دل پہ مرا کوئی اختیار رہا
کہ میری جان کے دشمن پہ یہ نثار رہا
وہ ہر جگہ پہ مرے نام سے ہی جانا گیا
یہ اور بات وہ اوروں کا غمگسار رہا
لیے ہیں رنج سدا ہی خلوص کے بدلے
کہ دل جلوں کا ہمیشہ یہ کاروبار رہا
تمام رات رہا ہم کلام تاروں سے
لباس جس کے مقدر کا تار تار رہا
وہ کوئی اور نہیں تھا وہ تیرا تائبؔ تھا
تمام عمر جسے تیرا انتظار رہا
Youth are the real asset of a nation, nation make progress by channelizing, the energy and effects of youth in the right direction. If youth of a nation go astray, the nation will be bound to fail. This short paper intends to look at the challenges faced by our youth for example, the political, religious and philosophical influence of anti-Islam powers, the use of all resources to attract youth to Islam, the attraction of Muslim youth to philosophy, to look into the influence of west through education which is leading the nation to financial and social way wardenss Indecency, Arabic language is replaced with other language for teaching and understanding of the Qur’ān and Unemployment, poverty and a sense of uselessness of youth is a huge challenge. This factor is leading the youth to stealing, robbery and other moral weaknesses. This short article will try to throw light on the challenges and responsibilities of youth. The history of mankind tells us that it is only the young people, who took the revolutionary measures to change the societies. Youth is the prime time of ones life. It is the time when all energies are at their peak. So one should get advantage of youth before getting old and helth before falling sick. As they say “new broom sweap clean”. Young people can bring great changes in cleaning socieities from evils. Muslim youth has great resficial to whole humanity. Today, youth is facing many challenges in their life. These challenges are in social, moral, educational, intellectual and political fields. To cope with them youth must have the knowledge and awareness. This short article tends to throw light on these challenges and gives ways and remedies to face them successfully.
Soil salinity is a major yield reducing factor that limits plant growth in their natural habitat. It is an ever increasing problem in arid to semi arid regions that represent 40 % of total earth land. To meet the increasing global demand of food and to meet nutritional requirement of rapidly growing population, there is a need to develop salt tolerant genotypes that are able to grow and produce maximum yield on saline soils. Melatonin (N-acetyl-5methoxytryptamine) is a crucial biological hormone whose antioxidant capacity fortifies a number of plant species against salt stress. To investigate the effects of salt stress on maize hybrids growth, physiological, ionic and biochemical attributes and possible acclimation of maize hybrids against deleterious effects of salinity, two solution culture, one pot study and one field experiment were conducted. Initially 10 maize hybrids were screened in solution culture against four salinity levels (control, 40 mM L-1, 80 mM L-1 and 120 mM L-1). On the basis of biomass accumulation, water relations and K+/Na+ ratio, maize hybrid 2225 and 1574 emerged as salt tolerant while maize hybrid 8441 and 8711 as salt sensitive. Subsequently, physiology and biochemistry of maize hybrids of both categories were evaluated in another solution culture experiment with interactive salinity and melatonin levels and two maize hybrids 2225 (salt tolerant) and 8711 (salt sensitive) were further evaluated in soil culture (pot study) and in saline field with two melatonin levels 0.5 µM L-1and 1 µM L-1. Salt stress significantly reduced plant dry matter accumulation, relative water contents (RWC), membrane stability index (MSI), chlorophyll contents, plant nutrition and photosynthetic parameters along with inferior antioxidant enzymes activities. Melatonin application significantly alleviates the detrimental effects of salinity by regulating plant physiology, improving plant morphology, civilizing photosynthetic activity and activities of antioxidant enzymes.Maize hybrid 2225 conspicuously responds to melatonin application and exhibits improved growth under low and elevated salt stress. Our results suggested that melatonin induced salt tolerance in maize hybrids. Furthermore salt tolerant maize hybrids can serve as a potential source to get sustainable production from salt affected lands however, there is still much that need to be elucidated in future.
