مولاناعبدالماجد بدایونی

مولانا عبدالماجد بدایونی
افسوس ہے کہ اس سال کا خاتمہ بھی ماتم پر ہوتا ہے، خطیب الامت مولانا عبدالماجد بدایونی رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ کا ناگہانی سانحۂ ارتحال ہمارے لئے ذاتی اور قومی دونوں حیثیتوں سے وہ غم ہے جو بھلائے نہیں بھولتا۔
۱۴؍ دسمبر ۱۹۳۱؁ء کی نصف شب کو یہ واقعہ لکھنؤ صدر میں پیش آیا تو میں وہاں اس صبح کو موجود تھا، ۸ بجے صبح کو خبر ہوئی جب ۹ بجے کے بعد وہاں پہنچا تو مرحوم کی زندہ روح خدا کے پاس اور مردہ لاش بدایوں کو منتقل ہوچکی تھی۔
مولانا عبدالماجد بدایونی کون تھے؟ لکھنے والے ان کے محامد و اوصاف صفحوں میں لکھیں گے اور بیان کرنے والے گھنٹوں بیان کریں گے، لیکن اس سارے دفتر کو صرف ایک لفظ میں اگر ادا کرنا چاہیں تو کہہ سکتے کہ وہ ہستی جو سرتاپا محبت تھی، خدا سے محبت رسول سے محبت، آل رسول سے محبت، اکابر سے محبت، دوستوں سے محبت، کارکنوں سے محبت، عزیزوں سے محبت۔
حضرات علماء کے طبقہ میں ان کی ذات ہر حیثیت سے قابل فخر تھی، ان تمام لوگوں پر جنھوں نے طرابلس کے زمانہ سے اسلامی جدوجہد میں شرکت کی، ان بیس برسوں میں مختلف دور گزرے، یعنی کچھ آرام و سکون، پھر کچھ سعی و محنت، کچھ عزلت گزینی اور پھر ہنگامہ آرائی، کچھ توقف، پھر تیزرفتاری، اس طرح ان کی زندگی کے ایام وقتاًفوقتاً گزرتے رہے، مگر جماعت علماء میں یہی ایک ہستی تھی جس کی زندگی کے ایک لمحہ کو بھی اس وقت سے چین نصیب نہ ہوا، ہر وقت و ہر نفس ان کو کام کی ایک دھن لگی ہوئی تھی، جس کے پیچھے ان کا آرام چین خانگی سکون، اہل و عیال اور جان و مال ہر چیز قربان تھی، یہ بھی سماں گزرا ہے کہ ان کے گھر میں کفن دفن کا...

A Case Report of Non-Atherosclerotic Driven Myocardial Infarction in a Patient Presenting with Coronary Artery Spasm Non-atherosclerotic driven myocardial infarction

Background: Non-atherosclerotic processes are regarded as equally important contributors to a substantial number of coronary problems mainly myocardial infarction. This includes coronary spasm which has been considered as one of the coronary syndromes leading to myocardial infarction. These non-atherosclerotic events ensuing in major averse cardiac events (MACE) not only require various diagnostic and therapeutic strategies but also there is a need to delineate the underlying etiology for their effective treatment and management. Case Summary: We report a case of anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI) driven by a non-atherosclerotic event i.e. Coronary spasm. Concomitant marked ST-segment elevation recorded on ECG revealed a diffuse mid distal disease in our patient. We report here the initial presentation, coronary care & intervention and throughout the clinical course of our patient. Conclusion: Myocardial infarctionsinvolving non-atherosclerotic causes in young individuals as in our study should be reported by medical practitioners and given equal importance as they might indicate the underlying root cause of such events. Effective treatment of such future cases can be done by taking management strategies, diagnostic findings and prognostic data into consideration.

Taxonomic Studies of Grasses of Salt Range of Pakistan

The research work was conducted during May 2005-2009 in the taxonomy lab of Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad. The project involves the morphological, palynological and anatomical studies of 66 species of grasses belonging to 43 genera and 12 tribes within 4 sub families collected from Salt Range of Pakistan. Paniceae is the largest tribe having 10 genera and 22 species followed by Andropogoneae and Eragrostideae with 10 and 6 genera and 13 and 8 species respectively. Taxonomic studies of grasses are of prime importance from systematic point of view and proved helpful in delimitation of the taxa at the species, genus and tribe level. It is the first time, that a comprehensive study of grasses of any area is conducted from taxonomic point of view in Pakistan after Cope, (1982) who classified the grasses from Pakistan on the basis of morphological characters and in many species some characters are not examined which are valuable taxonomically and has not mentioned, such as shape, length and width of caryopsis and length of stigma and anther. The objective of the study was to assess the potential of grasses in the area and to identify and classify the grasses on the basis of above mentioned studies and to study the differences among the species of the same and different genera of the same tribe and among the different tribes. Morphological markers are helpful in the identification, differentiation and classification of the species at species, genus and tribe level. Variations in different morphological characters are observed in different genera of the same tribe and among the species of the same genus. There are few characters that are constant in the different genera of the each tribe and are helpful in identification and classification of the species to the tribe level. In the present studies there are two new reports from the area. Tetrapogon cenchriformis is identified by its spatheolate inflorescence while Parapholis strigosa is identified by the length of anthers and straight spikes. Previously only one species of Parapholis (P. incurva) is reported from Pakistan, but the studies showed that another species of Parapholis (P. strigosa) is also present in the Salt Range of Pakistan. Quantitative characters of pollen are also helpful in distinguishing different taxa. Maximum polar and equatorial diameter is recorded in Bromeae followed byAndropogoneae and Paniceae, while maximum polar diameter is also observed in tribe Bromeae. Maximum exine thickness is shown by tribe Eragrostideae. SEM of pollen showed four types of sculpturing patterns that are scabrate, verrucate, rugulate and striate. Variations are also observed in features regarding leaf epidermal and transverse section studies at the species, genus and tribe level and by correlating with morphological characters are valuable in the identification and classification of different taxa. There are a few problematic species that are identified and differentiated from the resembling species by studying their anatomy. Pennisetum orientale is confused with Cenchrus ciliaris, but it can be differentiated by the presence of short cells with rounded papillae, which are absent in Cenchrus species. Distinct type of microhairs with hemispherical distal cell are found in genera of the all tribes belonging to subfamily Chloridoideae, and bulliform cells make a girder to the abaxial side that is the distinguishing character of this subfamily. In Enneapogon persicus of tribe Pappophoreae special type of macrohairs with narrow stalk cell are observed that are absent in other tribes of subfamily chloridoideae making this tribe peculiar from other tribes of subfamily Chloridoideae. In Andropogoneae and Paniceae, a complexity in structure of silica bodies is seen and distal cell is thin walled in bicellular microhairs which can be used as a tool in identification. Bulliform cells are in fan shaped or irregular groups. Most species belonging to tribes of subfamily Pooideae are distinct in having long cells with straight walls, and length of long cells is also recorded more in these tribes. Microhairs are absent and subsidiary cells are mostly parallel sided and chlorenchyma cells are diffused around the vascular bundles. There are some species that are present in the area but not mentioned previously during the vegetation study of the area due to improper identification and collection from the area. It is concluded that morphological, palynological and anatomical studies help in proper identification and classification of grasses, and to classify the previously identified vegetation of Pakistan.
