حاجی احمد غریب
دوسراافسوس ناک سانحہ جولائی میں حاجی احمد غریب صاحب کاہوا۔حاجی صاحب بمبئی کے مشہور صاحب خیر تھے۔ ملّی اوراجتماعی کاموں میں بڑھ چڑھ کر حصہ لیتے تھے، اعلیٰ درجہ کے منتظم تھے۔ حجاج کی خدمت سے عشق تھا، بمبئی کی انجمن خدام النبی کے روح رواں تھے۔ صابو صدیق کامسافر خانہ کاانتظام بھی ان ہی کے ہاتھ میں تھا۔ ابھی چندسال ہوئے اس تاریخی مسافرخانہ کی اوپر کی منزل بڑے اہتمام سے تعمیرکرائی تھی۔جمعیۃ العلماء ہند کے زیر اہتمام۱۹۵۴ء میں جو دینی تعلیمی کنونشن بمبئی میں ہواتھااس کا اہتمام بھی مرحوم ہی نے کیا تھا۔
ندوۃ المصنفین سے بھی خاص تعلق رکھتے تھے اوراس کی خدمات کی قدر کرتے تھے۔ ایک سال سے زیادہوا کہ کراچی چلے گئے تھے، وہیں۱۴/جولائی کو اچانک دل کادورہ ہوا اورجاں بحق ہوگئے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ مرحوم کی مغفرت فرمائے اوران کے نیک دل بھائی حافظ محمد صدیق صاحب حجازی اورتمام متعلقین کودولت صبر سے نوازے۔ [ستمبر۱۹۶۷ء]
Islām is said to be a complete code of conduct. It guides the humanity in every aspect of life. To earn the best living is the aim of every man, for which he earnestly spends his most precious time and energies. In the present era, the economic activities are in close correspondence with the banking system. But, it is a matter of fact that the conventional banking system was not founded on Islamic economic principles, nor does it follow them in the conduct of its affairs. The question arises, are Islām and its academic sources capable to guide us to substitute the conventional banking system. We find that Muḍārabah in an Islamic economic system is an instrument that emanates a number of substitutions to replace the conventional banking. This article discusses Muḍārabah, only. Muḍārabah is a mode of Islamic financing in which one party provides capital and second one employs its expertise to do a business. In the classical Muḍārabah, there were only two parties. One of them is called Rabb al-Māl (Financer) and second Muḍārib (Worker). It was the simplest form of the classical Muḍārabah, but with the passage of time, Muḍārabah evolved into many forms. Now, it has become more complex. The Islamic banks employ Muḍārabah. They are using modern forms of Muḍārabah in their products. People have several misconceptions about Muḍārabah for lack of knowledge about it and its the procedures. This article is an effort to explain the legitimacy of Muḍārabah and its method according to al-Sharī‘ah in the context of the modern Muḍārabah banking.
The investigation was carried out in Dera Ghazi Khan and Multan districts which are located along the Indus river system. Presence/ absence data were collected from 160 crop fields of wheat and cotton during 2005. We used classification as well as ordination methods to analyze the data structure. The main emphasis was on classification, ordination being used in part to check whether the classification results reflect in an adequate way the main floristical gradients in the data set, and also to detect relations between some environmental factors and the composition and structure of weed vegetation. The major axes brought by the ordination were related to soil characteristics and anthropogenic factors. The application of multivariate statistics {detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) and cluster analysis} allowed an interpretation of weed species spatial distribution and assemblage. From the results of classification (cluster analysis) samples from wheat and cotton fields could be divided in to distinct groups (plant associations) based on floristic composition. We have shown that there is a clear relationship between physical and chemical features of the substrate and the association defined by numerical analysis which surely shows that these groupings of weed species are not arbitrary assemblage. In this respect, soil moisture and texture seems particularly important in shaping the weed communities. Again, the scatters of the ordination diagrams demonstrate the lack of boundaries between weed vegetation types and species distribution: some species were restricted, but the majority had very wide ranges across the associations. Although, the difficulty of describing vegetation boundaries may be general one for weed vegetation yet these series of associations make good sense and may be the most useful of any land-use application. However, weed ecologists must continue to attempt the difficult definition of hazy boundaries of weed vegetation.
