مولانا مفتی محمدظفیر الدین

مفتی ظفیرالدین مرحوم
افسوس کہ مولانا مفتی محمد ظفیرالدین مفتاحی اس دنیا سے ۳۱؍مارچ کو رخصت ہوگئے۔ ان کے انتقال سے ایک ایسی شخصیت سے محرومی کا احساس ہوا جس کی ساری زندگی علوم اسلامیہ کی تحصیل، ترویج اور تبلیغ کے لیے وقف رہی۔ مفتی کا لفظ گویا ان کے نام کا جزو ہوگیا، کیونکہ وہ دارالعلوم دیوبند کے دارالافتاء سے برسوں وابستہ رہے لیکن اصلاً وہ صاحب قلم عالم تھے، تصنیف و تالیف کی خوبی کہنا چاہئے ان میں بدرجۂ اتم موجود تھی، دیوبند کے فتاوی کی ایک درجن جلدوں کو انہوں نے بڑے سلیقے سے مرتب کیا لیکن علمی دنیا میں ان کی شناخت بلکہ اعتبار و اعتماد، اسلام کا نظام عفت و عصمت، اسلام کا نظام مساجد، اسلام کا نظام امن، اسلامی نظام معیشت جیسی نہایت مفید اور معلومات سے لبریز کتابوں سے قائم ہوا۔ نظام مساجد کی تالیف میں ان کو مولانا سید سلیمان ندوی، مولانا حبیب الرحمن اعظمی، مفتی عتیق الرحمن عثمانی اور مولانا مناظر احسن گیلانی رحمہم اﷲ کی توجہ اور رہنمائی حاصل ہوئی، انہوں نے جس سلیقے اور محنت سے یہ کتاب سپرد قلم کی اور معلومات کا قیمتی ذخیرہ اس میں جمع کیا اس کی داد مولانا گیلانی نے یہ کہہ کردی کہ ’’عربی میں شام کے ایک عالم جمال الدین القاسمی کی کتاب اس باب میں مشہور تھی مگر خیال ہے کہ احتواء و احاطہ میں مولانا ظفیر الدین کی کتاب کو دیکھ کر کم ترک الاول للاخرہ، کا اعتراف کرنا پڑتا ہے، اسی طرح ان کی ایک کتاب حیات مولانا گیلانی پر مولانا سیدابوالحسن علی ندوی نے لکھا کہ فاضل مصنف کی اس کتاب پر پیش لفظ لکھنے میں سعادت و عزت کا جو احساس اور قلبی مسرت حاصل ہورہی ہے وہ کم مواقع پر حاصل ہوئی، مولف کی ایک کتاب امارت شرعیہ کے مقدمے میں حضرت...

قرآن كا تصور ارض

The Almighty Allah has exhibited His quality and power of Creation through bringing into existence of this Universe and several creatures in it. Amongst these creatures, are the earth and the skies. According to Islamic doctrine, Allah the Almighty created seven skies. Similarly, he created seven earths, "This is the only Allah who has created seven skies and the same numbers ofearths where His order is obeyed. So that you may know that Allah is the omni-potent and He has circumpassed all the things by His power ofknowledge. In the present article, efforts have been made to know the literal meaning ofthe term "Ardh", which standfor the earth in Arabic. Basic kinds and subsequently the different terms used by the holy Quran for Ardh have been discussed with special refrence to Tabqatul Ardh (layers of earth) . The paper aims to illuminate that the Quran has numerous secrets of universe which need to be discovered in the best interest of the humanity

Inter-Provenance Variations in the Physicochemical and Antioxidant Attributes of Various Varieties of Cotton Gossypium Hirsutum L. Seed Oil from Punjab, Pakistan

In the present work, the seeds of six local varieties (CIM-496, N-121, Z-33, AA-802, Desi, and CIM-534) of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) harvested from three different provenances of Punjab (Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar and Rahim Yar Khan districts) were investigated to characterize and compare their proximate composition as well as physicochemical and antioxidant characteristics. The amount of oil and protein in the tested seeds varied from 13.11 to 18.35% and 20.13-28.04%, respectively, revealing significant (p< 0.05) differences among varieties analyzed. While the contents of fiber (20.29-21.53%), ash (3.45-5.08%) and moisture (6.36-8.44%) did not vary notably. The physicochemical properties includingdensity (24 ºC) 0.9019-0.9208 (g mL-1), refractive index (40 °C) 1.4601-1.4632, saponification value 177.01-190.28 (mg of KOH/g of oil), free fatty acids 3.35-4.41%, iodine value 100.54-109.54 (mg KOH/g oil), unsaponifiable matter 0.49-0.58% (w/w) , and color (1-in.cell) 12.01-13.04 R + 63.61-68.11Y of the extracted cottonseed oils (CSOs) were recorded. The oxidation parameters of CSOs, as assessed by estimation of conjugated dienes, conjugated trienes, peroxide value, para-anisidine and induction period (Rancimat, 20 L h-1, 120 °C), were noted to be 2.11 to 2.61, 0.91-0.99 , 1.71-2.07 (meq kg-1 of oil), 2.00-2.31and 3.19-3.62 h, respectively. The CSOs were found to contain mainly linoleic acid (48.94 to 50.46%), followed by palmitic acid (24.42-25.86%), oleic acid (17.81-23.15%) and stearic acid (2.49-2.81%). The contents of α, γ and δ tocopherols in the CSOs were 125.47-296.20, 195.20-364.25 and 2.10-5.81 (mg kg-1), respectively. Total phenolic contents (TPC) and DPPH radical scavenging capacity of CSOs was recorded to be 1.32-0.94 (mg GAE/100g of dry matter) and IC50-1.00-2.18 (µg mL-1), respectively. A number of physicochemical and antioxidant parameters of the tested oils varied significantly (p<0.05) among the varieties analyzed that might be attributed to agro climatic variations and the genetic makeup of the cotton plants. Moreover, different solvent extracts produced from defatted cotton seeds (oilseed residues) were evaluated for antioxidant attributes in terms of measurements of TPC (0.94-3.80 mg GAE/100g), total flavonoids (TF) (0.62-2.45 CE mg/100g), DPPH radical scavenging capacity (IC50) (1.03-2.15 µg mL-1), percent inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation (39.82-88.05%) and reducing potential (0.14-0.48 mg mL-1). These data demonstrated the defatted cotton seeds to be a potential source of natural antioxidants. Generally, the aqueous alcoholic extracts of the oilseed residues exhibited superior antioxidant activity and phenolic amounts advocating the selection of these extraction solvents for optimum recovery of cottonseed antioxidants. The results of the present analytical study can be helpful to select appropriate cotton varieties for harvesting under local agroclimatic conditions so as to explore their functional food and nutraceutical applications.
