مولانا محمد الیاس کاندھلوی
وادریغا!مولانا محمد الیاس کاندھلویؒ نے چند ماہ کی شدید علالت کے بعد ۱۲/ جولائی بروز پنج شنبہ داعی اجل کو لبیک کہا اوراس جہانِ آب وگل کوخیر بادکہہ کر اپنے’’رفیق اعلیٰ‘‘سے جاملے۔مولانا کی عمر ابھی ایسی کچھ زیادہ نہ تھی۔لیکن تبلیغ کے کام میں انہماک کے باعث آپ نے اس مقدس اورضروری فریضۂ اسلام کے علاوہ ہرچیز کو قطعاً فراموش کررکھا تھا۔یہاں تک کہ سینکڑوں دیکھنے والوں نے دیکھا کہ مرض الموت میں بھی جب کہ آپ پر عالمِ سکرات طاری تھا اور ضعف ونقاہت اورمرض کے پے بہ پے حملوں کے باعث آپ کاجسم ناتواں ہڈیوں کاایک ڈھانچہ ہوکر رہ گیاتھا۔جو کوئی شخص آپ کی مزاج پرسی کرتا اورمرض کی کیفیت دریافت کرتا آپ اس پر خفگی کااظہار کرتے اور فرماتے تھے’’میرا مرض تم لوگ ہو جوتبلیغ کے فرض سے غافل ہو،بس اس کے سوا مجھے کوئی اوربیماری نہیں۔‘‘
آپ درحقیقت فنانی التبلیغ تھے۔ہرآن اسی کی دھن تھی۔یہی ایک خیال اور یہی ایک جذبہ تھا جوسیماب کی طرح ان کو بے چین اورمتحرک رکھتاتھا۔عمل اور اخلاص کاحقیقی پیکر تھے۔دل خشیتِ ربانی سے معمور تھا۔تقریر اگرچہ رسمی فصاحت و بلاغت سے عاری تھی۔مگر غایت اخلاص وﷲیت کی وجہ سے ایک ایک لفظ جو دل سے نکلتا تھا سننے والوں پر تیروسنان کاکام کرتا تھا۔حقیقت یہ ہے کہ آپ کی پوری زندگی اتباع سنت کاکامل نمونہ تھی۔مولانا مرحوم کی ان صفات کاہی یہ اثر تھا کہ آپ نے چند سالوں میں ہی اصلاح وتبلیغ کے میدان میں وہ کچھ کردکھایا جوسالہا سال میں بڑی بڑی جماعتیں بھی نہیں کرسکتیں۔دعا ہے کہ اﷲ تعالیٰ اعلیٰ علیین میں مولانا کے مراتب ومدارج بیش ازبیش بڑھائے اورآپ اپنے پیچھے جو کام چھوڑ گئے ہیں،آپ کے جانشین مولانا محمد یوسف صاحب اوران کے اعوان و رفقاء ان کاموں کوباحسن وجوہ قائم وبرقرار رکھ سکیں۔رحمہ اﷲ رحمۃً واسعۃً وتغمدہ...
This article elaborates the essence and value of Tazkia. The importance of Tazkia (The purification of Soul) may be known from the fact that Allah Ta, ala in the Holy Quran, emphasizedit with seven oaths and said: (He has succeeded who purifies it). Moreover, all the prophets (Peace be upon them) invited the people towards the same thing (The purification of Soul). For example, Moses told Pharaoh: (Would you (be willing to) purify yourself?). Allah said in the Holy Quran, regarding the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him): (2(It is He who has sent among the unlettered a Messenger from themselves reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom although they were before in clear error). The purification of Soul (Tazkia) is the source of high degrees and perpetual blessings. The Holy Quran clarifies: But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds, for those will be the highest degrees. Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which river flow, wherein they abide eternally, and that is the reward of one who purifies himself.) The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) also would pray: (O my God: give my soul righteousness and purify it, because You are the best one who can purify it, You are its Protector and Lord.
Diabetes Mellitus also known as hyperglycemia is a chronic metabolic disorder that is mainly characterized by a rise in the plasma glucose levels above the normal range, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. There are various subtypes of diabetes mellitus of which type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) previously also termed as non-insulin- dependent diabetes is the most prevalent form. World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 9% of the world population suffered from diabetes in 2014 of which 90% had type 2 DM (WHO, 2014).More alarming is the fact that by 2030, type 2 DM will be the 7th major cause of death worldwide. Both genetic and environmental factors result in type 2 DM.The prominent risk factors responsible for the disease include; obesity, excess body fat, high blood pressure, sedentary life style, age, poor dietary habits with high intake of sugar, smoking, high consumption of alcohol, socio-economic factors, ethnicity and stress. Mutations in the Adenosine Binding Cassette Transporter Proteins Subfamily A Member 1 (ABCA1) have been associated with abnormal lipid levels and certain variants have been linked with type 2 DM.The present study analyzed the association of ABCA1 rs2230808 gene polymorphism with type 2 DM patients in a local population. The study was carried on 94 subjects who were divided into 49 normal (control) and 45 type 2 DM patients. Genotyping of ABCA1 rs2230808 polymorphism was done through tetra- primers Amplification Refractory Mutation System Polymerase Chain Reaction (ARMS- PCR) technique. The rs2230808 genotypes in the type 2 DM patients was found to be CC (53.33%), CT (31.11%) and TT (15.55%), while in the control group was found to be CC (46.93%), CT (38.77%) and TT (14.28%). The frequency of C and T allele in type 2 DM patients was observed 0.689 and 0.31 respectively, while the allele frequency of C and T allele in control group was found to be 0.663 and 0.337 respectively. The p-value for genotypes and allelic frequency was greater than 0.05. Hence, the results indicate no significant association of ABCA1 rs2230808 polymorphism with risk for type 2 DM was observed in our study group. Additionally, association of CACNA1C rs2239127 gene polymorphism with type 2 DM was also studied. The subjects were divided into 94 type 2 DM patients and 56 normal samples. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism technique was employed here. The rs2239127 genotypes in type 2 DM patients was observed as TT (54.25%), CT (34.04%) and CC(11.70%), while in control group it was found to be TT(53.57%), CT (37.5%) and CC (8.92%). The p-value for both genotype and allelic frequency was found to be greater than 0.05% which shows no significant association of rs2239127 polymorphism with type 2 DM in our study group.
