مولانا محمد شاہد فاخری
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ ماہ مولانا محمد شاہد فاخری نے وفات پائی، وہ الہ آباد کے مشہور مذہبی خانوادہ دائرہ شاہ اجمل سے تعلق رکھتے تھے، مذہبی کاموں کے ساتھ ان کو ملک کے سماجی اور سیاسی مسائل سے بھی دلچسپی تھی، وہ جمعیۃ علمائے ہند کے نائب صدر تھے، انھوں نے آزادی کی جدوجہد میں نمایاں حصہ لیا تھا اور قیدوبند میں بھی مبتلا ہوئے تھے، آزادی کے بعد بھی وہ ملک و ملت کی خدمت میں لگے رہے اور اس راہ میں مشکلات و مصائب برداشت کرتے رہے، وہ دارالمصنفین کے کاموں کے بڑے قدرداں اور مداح تھے، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت فرمائے اور انھیں اپنی رحمتوں سے سرفراز فرمائے۔ (عبد السلام قدوائی ندوی، اکتوبر ۱۹۷۵ء)
Religion is the cradle of human civilization and will always be a core influence in determining the trends, outlooks and progression of our society, which inevitably confronts questions and issues with religious undertones. As the world becomes more multi-religious and multi-ethnic, however, there is a seemingly diminished respect for the diverse existence of faiths and ethnicities, and more concerns rise towards this new threat to peace, which can be seen in the form of religious hatred, persecution, and conflicts often involving physical violence. This rising hostility, which has become a prolonged, unstable social factor, in all manifestations is an obstacle to peace. According to the different religious scholars of the semitic and nonsemitic religions it is recommended that religion plays a vital role to save the humanity. For this purpose many scholars recommend a religious alliance and unity for the whole universe as we can prevent the violence against humanity. In this paper the different views of the scholars in favour of religious alliance while the stance of Islamic Sharia has been discussed in detail as well.
Cloud computing is an on-demand, ubiquitous provisioning of resources. Individual users and many organizations rely on Cloud to support their infrastructure, platform, and applications. To meet these huge demands, Cloud providers have to build enormous Cloud Data Centers (CDCs).CDCs comprise of a lot of resources and these are given to users haphazardly. Arbitrary provisioning of resources on different hosts creates a problem of low usage of host machines. This leads to the problem of inefficient use of resources. More active numbers of hosts contribute to the increase in energy consumption. This will not only increase cloud providers operating cost but also emit a large amount of Carbon Dioxide. Different techniques are used to maximize resource utilization and minimization in energy consumption like VM consolidation, cooling, and scheduling. Server consolidation maximize resource usage and minimize the active number of Physical Machines (PMs) in DCs. Server consolidation includes hosts under-load detection, host overload detection, VM Selection, VM Migration, and VM placement. A number of techniques are proposed by researchers for VM placement which includes Multi-Objective VM placement, Best Fit Decreasing (BFD), Genetic Algorithm Based Approach (GABP), Glow-worn Swarm Optimization, Multi-Objective Ant Colony, and Family Genetic Algorithm (FGA). Most of the proposed techniques consider efficient resource utilization however ignored energy consumption. In some other techniques, energy consumption is considered but they do not consider SLA violation. The proposed technique considers all problems. This research contributes to an Efficient Adaptive Migration Algorithm (EAMA) for dynamic VM migration and placement. The proposed technique minimizes the energy consumption, active number of hosts, maximize the resource utilization and keep a balance in Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements. For the performance evaluation of the proposed technique CloudSim toolkit is utilized Chapter 1 describes the introduction of the Cloud computing. We have also discussed the aim and objectives of the research. The brief summary of the following chapters is also discussed.
