مولانا عبدالصمد رحمانی
تین مہینہ کے سفر کے بعد جب ۳/جون کوبحمداﷲ بہمہ وجوہ خیریت و عافیت واپسی ہوئی توجن احباب اوربزرگوں کے انتقال پرملال کی خبر سے سخت افسوس اوررنج ہوا ان میں مولانا عبدالصمد صاحب رحمانی بھی تھے۔مولانا ان اکابر علم وفضل اوراصحاب ورع وتقوی میں سے تھے جن کے دم سے اسلام کی روحانی اوردینی واخلاقی عظمت کی آبرو قائم ہے۔ ان کی استعداد بڑی پختہ تھی، مطالعہ وسیع، نظر دقیق اورفہم ثاقب رکھتے تھے۔ یوں تو سب ہی علوم دینیہ و مروجۂ مدارس عربیہ سے ان کو قلبی لگاؤ تھا لیکن فقہ اورحدیث سے ان کوزیادہ دلچسپی اور مناسبت تھی۔ جب گفتگو کرتے تھے توان کی باتوں سے رسوخ فی العلم کے ساتھ سنجیدگی ٔرائے،ذہانت اورتوازن فکر کے بھبکے آتے تھے۔عملاً بڑے قناعت پسند اور درویش صفت بزرگ تھے، ہرچیز میں سادگی اور بے تکلفی ملحوظ رکھتے تھے۔ صاحب درس اورصاحب تصنیف وتالیف بھی تھے۔ ملک کی تحریک آزادی کے ہراوّل دستے میں تھے لیکن آزادی کے بعد ملک میں جوحالات پیش آئے اورجن کا سلسلہ اب بھی جاری ہے، انھوں نے بعض دوسرے مجاہدین وطن کی طرح ان کو اس درجہ دل شکستہ اور مایوس کردیا تھا کہ وہ سب کچھ چھوڑ چھاڑ گوشہ نشین ہوگئے تھے۔ چند برس سے مجموعۂ امراض واسقام تھے اوربہت کمزور ہوگئے تھے، آخر وقت موعود بھی آپہنچا۔اﷲ تعالیٰ مغفرت وبخشش اور رفع درجات کی نعمتوں سے سرفراز فرمائے۔آمین [جون۱۹۷۳ء]
This study was conducted purposely to assess the degree of school effectiveness among public secondary schools of Zamfara State, Nigeria. In order to achieve this fundamental objective, one research question was formulated. A descriptive survey research design was adopted in the study. Population of the study comprised the entire 2361 classroom teachers deployed in the 158 public secondary schools of Zamfara State-Nigeria. From the population of the study, a sample size of 266 teachers was extracted using a ‘Multistage Random Sampling Technique’. A semi-structured questionnaire developed by Lezzote and Snyder (2011) on a five Likert type scale instrument with 21 items was employed as an instrument for data collection. The instrument composite reliability was computed using Cronbach’s alpha method and obtained the value of .949. All data covered in the study were collected through a field survey approach. Analytically, the current study discovered that, the degree of school effectiveness was at a high extent with mean score (M=3.68, SD=0.15). Based on this finding, the paper recommends that, stakeholders in educational sector comprising government’s ministries, departments and agencies, policymakers, secondary schools’ principals, instructional teachers as well as the learners and their parents/guardians should reciprocally work together in the process of appropriate perpetration and advancement of effective school system and its practices.
Zamzam water is obtained from zamzam well which is located in the Saudi Arabia’s divine locality called Mecca in the holy mosque Al-Haram. Usually in wells growth of microorganisms, their spores and plant vegetation occurs, but zamzam is free from biological contamination. Furthermore zamzam has significant health benefits; it produces healing and antimicrobial action due to presence of many minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, fluoride and many others. Zamzam Studies and Research Center regulates demand and supply of water and also examines zamzam for its chemical and microbial composition. The composition of zamzam water showed the presence of calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride in high concentration. Other constituents including zinc, antimony, beryllium, bismuth, bromine, cobalt, iodine, manganese, chromium and titanium are also found in zamzam water in traces. Heavy metals are also present in zamzam water such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, and selenium.The alkaline nature of zamzam water accounts for its various positive effects on health and the presence of antioxidant constituents in zamzam water could be related to its therapeutic efficacy in different diseases. Zamzam water has previously been studied for its therapeutic role in curing dental carries, diabetes, infertility and cancer.The purpose of this study was to explore the therapeutic efficacy and toxicological profile of zamzam water. In this study we determined the composition as well as effects of zamzam water on CNS profile (cage crossing, open field, stationary rod, head dip, light and dark, forced swimming test), brain biogenic amines estimation, anti-Parkinson activity, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, anticonvulsant activity, blood profile, lipid profile, liver profileand renal profile.Results suggest that zamzam water possesses remarkable therapeutic effects. Zamzam water can act as an anxiolytic, memory enhancer, antidepressant, anti-cataleptic, anticonvulsant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent. Furthermore it has positive effects on hematological, lipid and renal profile. The effects on liver profile should be further evaluated. It can be postulated that the presence of minerals and trace elements such as IX zinc, magnesium, iron, calcium, selenium and lithium in zamzam water can account for these beneficial effects. Our study further revealed that although arsenic level is high in zamzam water but even after chronic administration of zamzam water for 60 days adlibitum, there was no sign of toxicity shown in animals. This effect is due to unique composition of zamzam water. The presence of calcium, magnesium, selenium and zinc in zamzam water not only decreases arsenic absorption and its distribution in various organs but also neutralizes the arsenic induced toxicity on different organs. However further studies are required to explore the interaction of different elements and metals present in zamzam water and their effects. Thus we can conclude that zamzam water has not shown any toxic effects and it has remarkable therapeutic and beneficial effects on health even in the presence of arsenic in its composition.
