قدیم و جدید قاہرہ
مسافر دکتورمحمود کے ساتھ قاہرہ کے تنگ ،تاریک اور دھول مٹی سے اٹے بازار میں چہل قدمی کر رہا تھا ۔دکتورمحمو د نے کہا یہ قاہرہ قدیم ہے میں نے کہا اور غریب بھی اس نے مسکراتے ہوئے کہا غریب بھی اور فقیر بھی بہت ہے ۔میں نے کہا فقر بہت بڑی نعمت ہے۔ دکتورمحمود بولے ہاںمگر اس نعمت کے ثمرات قاہرہ جدید والے سمیٹ رہے ہیں ۔یہ فقیر لوگ رات دن محنت کر کے بڑی مشکل سے دو وقت کی روٹی حاصل کرتے ہیں مگر ان کے نوالے قاہرہ جدید کے باسیوں کے منہ میں چلے جاتے ہیں ۔رعایا قدیم میں جبکہ حکمران طبقہ جدید میں قیام پذیر ہے ۔
مصریوں کی پسندیدہ خوراک پُول ہے ۔بغیر مرچ مصالحوں کے حلیم کی طرح دکھائی دینے والی اس خوراک میں چھوٹے سائز کا لوبیا ڈالا جاتا ہے ۔ساتھ میں سلاد ، جو پلیٹ کی بجائے چھوٹے کاسے میں پیش کیا جاتا اس کے اندر تھوڑا سا پانی بھی ہوتا ہے ۔سلاد اور پول روٹی کے ساتھ تناول کرنے کے بعد سلاد کا بچ جانے والا پانی زیادہ خوش ذائقہ ہوتا ہے ۔دکتور محمود نے مشورہ دیا کہ رہ جانے والا پانی پیا کرو اس کی لذت پول سے بھی زیادہ ہوتی ہے ،میں نے کہا ایک یونانی کہاوت ہے کہ کسی بھی تخلیق کار کا فن پارہ سوسال سے زیادہ عوامی پذیرائی حاصل نہیں کر پاتا اگر وہ صرف پانی پیتا ہو ۔ یہ جو مصر میں فنونِ لطیفہ ،رقص اور مجسمہ تراشی کے خوبصورت نمونے تخلیق ہوئے ہیں اس کے پیچھے بھی اس سلادی پانی اور پول کا ہاتھ تو نہیں ؟۔کہنے لگے آپ کونہیں معلوم مصری بہت کچھ پیتے ہیں میں نے پوچھا مثلاََ؟کہنے لگے جیسے شیشہ ،چلم ،تمباکواور اس کے علاوہ بھی بہت کچھ۔مصر...
Education system plays a vital role in personality development of an individual. That is why Allah ordained the Prophet (SAW) to develop personalities of his followers in light of the Holy Book. The education system prevailing in Pakistan today lacs Islamic perspective because it is continuation of the eduation system devised by the colonial power for its vested interests. It should have been reconstructed in light of Quran and Sunnah after creation of Pakistan but rulers and ulama both failed to do the needful. To do this job effectively all segments of education system, such as teachers, curriculum, educational administrators, students, and& nbsp; environment of the instituion need to be Islamized; rather a new role-model education institution has to be established. Those who decide to do this must be properly qualified for this hall mark task. This article discusses all these points in detail.
This research thesis is mainly focused to assess changes in the daily observed temperatures and precipitation over the Hindukush, Karakoram and Himalaya mountains of the northern Pakistan (HKNP) which is a permanent source of fresh water (in the form of large glacial bodies with perennial snow cover) for Pakistan’s largest Indus River system that fulfills a large fraction of the water demand for agricultural land of the country as well as hydropower generation and other domestic purposes. The current research work has three aspects: Firstly, spatiotemporal variability in the observed daily maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin) and mean temperature (Tmean) for a recent 30year period (1986–2015) is examined from a total of 18 different weather stations in the HKNP region by employing probability distribution functions (PDFs) on annual and seasonal basis. The observed river discharge is used to assess the impact of temperature variations on the glaciers and snow covers of the HKNP region. The temperature based PDFs show a significant mean decadal warming of 0.45 °C, 0.03 °C, and 0.25 °C, in Tmax, Tmin and Tmean of the region, on annual basis, respectively. However, the observed river discharges based PDFs of the region show a mean negative decadal shift of −40.15 m3/s on annual basis. The negative decadal shift in river discharge in warm climate is discussed in terms of percentile based analysis which quantifies temperature changes for each percentile. The results revealed that the decadal changes in Tmin percentiles are more correlated with river discharge than decadal changes in Tmax and Tmean percentiles, on annual basis. The seasonal analysis showed a significant positive decadal shift of 1.93 °C for Tmax in spring season, whereas winter season showed a significant negative decadal shift of −0.56 °C in Tmin of the HKNP region, from first decade (1986–1995) to third decade (2006–2015), respectively. The rest of seasons (i.e., summer and autumn) displayed high variability in the Tmax, Tmin and Tmean in the HKNP region. A high observed (non-parametric) correlation between the observed total cloud cover (TCC) and temperatures of the region indicates that changes in regional cloud cover might have influenced the regional temperatures. Secondly, spatiotemporal variability in the observed daily diurnal temperature range (DTR) is assessed for same weather stations for 30-year period (1986–2015) both on seasonal and annual basis. The DTR is a difference of Tmax and Tmin. The regional mean DTR is 13.27 °C on annual basis, with a maximum in autumn (14.63 °C) and minimum in winter (11.81 °C). On annual basis, the regional DTR has increased significantly at a rate of 0.34 °C per decade, during the 30-year study period at p ≤ 0.05, based on Mann-Kendall test. On seasonal basis, the DTR displays an increasing trend in all four seasons with largest significant increase in the winter season at a rate of 0.32 °C per decade. The DTR is positively correlated with Tmax of the region on seasonal and annual basis. A strong negative correlation is found between the DTR and observed TCC in all seasons, indicating that variability in TCC has a considerable impact on the variation of DTR in this region. The statistically significant increasing DTR trend along with statistically significant decreasing trend of TCC in spring season suggests an early melt of snow and ice cover in the region, consequently changing the hydrological cycle of the region that demands a better water resource management in the HKNP region. Thirdly, spatiotemporal variability in the observed daily precipitation is assessed by employing the precipitation based PDFs that show a significant positive mean decadal shift of 0.13 mm/day from 1996–2005 to 2006–2015 in the HKNP region, on annual basis. The seasonal analysis shows a positive mean decadal shift of 0.18, 0.18, and 0.16 mm/day for precipitation of the region, in winter, summer and autumn season, from 1996–2005 to 2006–2015, respectively. It is further observed that the intensity of extreme precipitation events also increases progressively (from 213.8 to 257.0 mm/day) during 1986–1995 to 2006–2015 for summer season in the HKNP region. Along with temporal shifts, spatial positive (negative) precipitation shifts are also noticed in the western (eastern) parts of the HKNP region. The percentile based analysis shows that wet days (< 2.5 mm/event) are directly correlated with seasonal snow cover distribution that shows increasing trend for summer season in changing climate in the north eastern part of the HKNP region. A progressively increasing high observed non-parametric correlation from 0.54 to 0.71 between the observed precipitation and river discharge of the region is observed in recent decade (2006–2015) which requires a more strategic water resource management in the HKNP region in the coming years in line with earlier findings in this thesis research. Cumulatively, the thesis work is an effort to highlight the outcomes generated by employing frequency distribution based methods on the recent daily observed temperatures and precipitation in the HKNP region. These methods were ignored in previous research studies conducted specifically in the HKNP region. The outcomes of these methods not only provide a more detailed assessment of climate change impacts on the cryosphere of the HKNP region, but also provide a reference document for many related applied research aspects in the coming days.
