آہ! مولانا محمد عمران خان ندوی الازہری
۲۲؍ اکتوبر ۸۶ء کو یکایک خبر ملی کہ مولانا حافظ محمد عمران خان ندوی ازہری اپنے خاندان والوں کو دل فگار اور اپنے جاننے والوں کو دل گیر چھوڑ کر تہتر (۷۳) سال کی عمر میں اس عالم فانی سے عالم جادوانی کو سدھارے، اس خبر سے جسم و دماغ پر ایک بجلی گر پڑی۔
ان کی موت ایک خاص قسم کی قوت عمل، عزم، ادارہ، خوش انتظامی، خوش سلیقگی، خوش فکری، اور خوش و ضعی کی موت ہے، وہ اپنے پیچھے ایک درس چھوڑ گئے کہ عمل پیہم اور یقین محکم سے کس طرح اہم اور بڑے سے بڑا، کام انجام دیا جاسکتا ہے، بے سرو سامانی میں کیسے کیسے سازوسامان پیدا کیے جاسکتے ہیں، یا س کے عالم میں مخلص کارکنوں کی جماعت کی تنظیم کیسے کی جاسکتی، اور ناداری کے عالم میں بھی وہ کام انجام دیا جاسکتا ہے جو بڑی دولت کے ذریعہ سے نہیں کیا جاسکتا۔
وہ بھوپال کے رہنے والے تھے، ۱۹۴۷ء کے بعد جب بھوپال کا فرماں روا خاندان بھوپال چھوڑ کر دوسری جگہ پناہ گزین ہوگیا تھا تو مولانا عمران خان ندوی نے اپنی قوت ارادی کو بروئے کارلاکر بھوپال کے لوگوں کے دلوں پر اپنی فرماں روائی شروع کردی اور یہ نمونہ پیش کیا کہ تاج و تخت کے بغیر بھی اخلاص کی پاکیزگی، نیت کی طہارت اور عمل کی پختگی کے ساتھ فرماں روائی ہوسکتی ہے۔
انھوں نے تاج المساجد کی تعمیر جس طرح ازسرنو کی اور اس کی زینت و آرایش میں جس طرح اضافہ کیا، اور پھر اس کے ذریعہ سے جو دینی حمیت اور ایمانی حرارت پیدا کی، وہ ایسا کارنامہ ہے کہ دنیا کی بڑی مسجدوں کی تعمیر کی جب تاریخ لکھی جائے گی تو ان کا نام نامی بھی اس تاریخ میں ضرور لکھا جائے...
The status of Ma'Iim-us-Sunan is very high in explanations of Sunan Abu Dawood because it is considered first an explanation of Sunan Abu Dawood. Imam Khattabi has adopted such a fine method in it that with the literal explanation of words and description of jurisprudential commandments, he has also collected in it sayings ofSalaf-us-Saalih, Arabian proverbs, different opinions of various scholars, grammatical rules and Jarh-o-ta'deel etc. To add, he, as a specially, Ahadith and quotations ofSahabah and scholars, has made provision to describe his chain of narrators. Due to this, the book has adopted the basic primary status of Hadith knowledge. And further, because of these chains of narrators, this book has adopted the form of reference source in matters of teachers' identification of Imam Khattabi. Due to all these qualities undoubtedly the way this book was a need of scholars and researchers of every era, in the same way, scholars can never be exempted from this today.
Mycotoxins are toxic natural food contaminants, mostly produced by moulds of genera Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium. Cereal grains are the most susceptible food material amenable to contamination by mycotoxins. Current study adopted a multiprong approach to develop a better understanding of this major public health concern as well as devise strategies for management and control of cereal mycotoxin contamination. Initially, a comprehensive screening for aflatoxins and ochratoxin-A in various cereals from Pakistan was conducted. The results showed that 43% of samples were found contaminated with Aflatoxins. Furthermore, multi-mycotoxin contamination profile of Pakistani cereals (rice, maize and wheat) has shown prevalence of aflatoxins, trichohecence, fumonisins, zearalenone, sterigmatocystin, roquefortin-c and ochratoxin-A in cereals. The study examined the reduction of 35-51% of AFB1 during cooking of cereals following typical Pakistani recipes. The dietary exposure values for aflatoxins have exceeded the tolerable daily intake at all levels. The margin of exposure of AFB1 was remarkably lower than the recommended safe limits. The mean cancer risk values for adults and children were 0.1613 and 0.266 cancer cases/year /105, respectively. Surveillance of aflatoxins (AFs) contamination in different maize varieties can contribute to the identification of susceptible and resistant varieties, particularly for cultivation in the Pakistani agro-climatic environment. Among tested five short-season maize varieties (Pioneer, Neelam, DK-919, Desi and Hi-Corn), maximum aflatoxin levels were found in Desi (14.5±0.02 μg/kg), while Hi-corn variety demonstrated significant resistance to A. flavus and aflatoxin contamination. Myco-flora from contaminated cereal posing high risk (rice) was isolated and identified. Among the five isolated fungal genera, Aspergillus was found to be the most dominant genus. Eight essential oils were studied to inhibit A. flavus and its toxigenic potential associated with rice. The essential oils of Cuminum cyminum and Eucalyptus citriodora exhibit the maximum anti-fungal and anti-aflatoxigenic activity. The study also investigated that 71-88% of aflatoxin B1 degraded in real food medium at minimum xvii thickness (2mm) of sample exposed to UV-light after 4 hr and 48 hr of sun light. The toxicity of degraded products was much less than that of untreated samples. This study will contribute significantly to manage the mycotoxin problem in Pakistani foodstuffs.
