شریمتی اندرا گاندھی
شریمتی گاندھی اب اس دنیائے فانی میں نہیں رہیں، کچھ نادان، وطن دشمن اور ناعاقبت اندیش مردوں کے پستول اور اسٹن گن سے نہیں، بلکہ ان کی بے رحمی، بے دردی اور سفاکی کی گولیوں کا نشانہ بنیں اور امر ہوکر سب سے رخصت ہوگئیں۔
دو مردوں نے ایک ۶۷ سالہ عورت کو اپنی بائیس گولیوں کا نشانہ نہیں بنایا بلکہ دنیا کے تمام مردوں کے مردانہ پن کی تذلیل کی، انسانیت کی گردن شرم سے جھکادی اور وطن کی ناموس خاک میں ملادی، مگر خود شریمتی اندرا گاندھی کی عظمت، جلالت اور صولت میں چار چاند لگادیا، ان کی وفات اپنی فطری موت سے ہوتی تو ان کی عزت، مقبولیت اور محبوبیت میں اتنا اضافہ نہ ہوتا جتنا کہ اب ہوا، گلابوں اور سورج مکھیوں سے لدی ہوئی ان کی ارتھی بحری، ہوائی اور برّی لشکریوں کے دستوں کی معیت اور لاکھوں عقیدت مندوں کے جلو میں روانہ ہوئی، تو ایسا معلوم ہورہا تھا کہ پنڈت جواہر لال نہرو کی لاڈلی، ہندوستان کی بیٹی اور سیاست کی دیوی اپنے میکے سے فنا کی سہاگن بنی ہوئی بے پناہ آنسوؤں کا جہیز لے کر وداع ہورہی ہے، سو سے زیادہ ملکوں کے ممتاز نمائندے ان کے احترام میں جھکے ہوئے تھے، مردوں اور عورتوں کا بے پناہ سوگوار ہجوم زبان حال سے کہہ رہا تھا کہ ہندوستان کی فضا پر جب تک سورج کی روشنی چمکتی رہے گی، چاند کی چاندنی پھیلتی رہے گی اور شبنم کے قطرے یہاں کے پھولوں کو تازہ اور شاداب کرتے رہیں گے، ہندوستان کی تاریخ میں شریمتی اندرا گاندھی کا نام باقی رہے گا۔
کچھ سیاسی شخصیتیں ایسی ہوتی ہیں جو زمانہ کے سپرد ہوجاتی ہیں، مگر کچھ سیاسی شخصیتیں ایسی بھی ہوتی ہیں جن کے سپرد زمانہ ہوجاتا ہے، اندرا گاندھی کی شخصیت ایسی تھی جس کے...
This study deals with a historical overview of the entry of Islam to the Indian subcontinent and the contribution of the companions, successor, and their followers in spreading the Prophetic Sunnah in it. Moreover, It contains a brief historical overview of the emergence of hadīth science، its weakness, renaissance, development, and flourishing, and a study of the attention of Muhaddithūn to the Sahih al-Bukhārī by writing its Shuruh, Taliqāt، Hawāshī, and Tarājim in the Indian subcontinent. It has been proven from the study of the history of hadīth science that after the entry of the Ghaznavids and the Ghurids to this region, the science of hadīth weakened due to the interest of the locals in rational sciences until Sultān Ala’ud-Dīn al-Khiljī (d. 716/1316) period. The scholars began to pay attention to the compilations of hadīth in general and Sahih al-Bukhārī in particular, and the first Sharh of Sahih al-Bukhārī appeared by Sheikh al-Hassan b. Muhammad al-Saghānī al-Lāhourī (d. 1252/650). It was revealed from a historical study of Sahih al-Bukhārī’s related studies in the Indian subcontinent that all were written in three stages. The first stage was the era of the renaissance of hadīth science and the emergence of Sahih al-Bukhari’s Shuruh and Hawāshī in the Arabic language. The second stage was the era of the development of hadīth sciences and the emergence of Sahih al-Bukhari’s Shuruh and Tarājim in the Arabic and Persian languages. Besides, the study proved that it was the era of translation and authorship in the Persian language, which was one of the most widespread languages، understanding, and delivered in the scientific community of the Indian subcontinent. As for the third stage, it is the flourishing of hadīth science and the emergence of a diversity of books about the Sahih al-Bukhārī in Arabic, Urdu, and Pashto. It was discovered from the study that the Urdu language took the place of Persian in the dissemination of legal sciences and the authorship of Sahih al-Bukhārī.
