کھوٹا سکہ کھرا بیٹا

گرنام سنگھ کے چائے کے کھوکھے کے باہر رکھے ہوئے بنچ پر چھ گلاسوں والے چھکےمیں رکھے تین ادھ بھرےچائے کے گلاسوں کو بارش پورا کرتھی اور کھوکھے پر موم جامے میں لپٹے ریڈیو میں زہرہ پائی انبالے والی کی مدھ بھری آواز میں انیس سو چالیس کا مشہور نغمہ "ساون کے بادلوں۔۔۔ان سےجا کہو"۔ گانے کو ماحول مہیا کر رہی تھی۔ جب سے گرنام سنگھ نے مومی لفافہ خریداتھا۔ اس وقت سے کسی نے ریڈیو کو برہنہ نہیں دیکھا تھا۔ ریڈیو کی دوشیزگی گرنام سنگھ غیرت مند باپ کی طرح برقرار رکھے ہواتھا۔ کھوکھے والی گلی کے نکڑ پر ایک دکھی عورت اپنے دونوں ہاتھ اٹھا کر کچھ کہہ رہی تھی، پتہ نہیں اس کے لب بھی گانے کے لفظوں کو دہرا رہے تھے۔ اس کے دونوں ہاتھوں میں اچانک ایک روپے کا سکہ آن گرا۔ اس نے منہ آسمان کی طرف اٹھا کے دیکھنا چاہا کہ سکہ کس نے مجھے دیا ہے تیربرساتے قطروں کےساتھ کالے بادل بھی اپنا غصہ بجلی چمکا کر دکھا رہے تھے۔ دائیں بائیں دیکھا تو ایک فقیر جس کا کاسہ کارتوس کی پیٹی کی مانند کندھے سےلٹکا تھا۔ باآواز بلند کہے جارہا تھا ’’جو دے اس کا بھی بھلا جو نہ دے اس کا بھی بھلا۔ دینا ہے تو خیر کی خیرات دے‘‘۔ دکھی عورت نے بھاگ کر فقیرکو آن لیا۔ ’’ٹھہرنا ‘‘ ۔۔۔فقیر رک گیا ۔ اوراس نے اپنے کندھے اور کمر سے لٹکے ہوئے کاسے کو سیدھا کر عورت کے سامنے بھیک کے لیے پھیلایا۔ ’’دینا ہے تو خیر کی خیرات دے‘‘۔ عورت نے دکھی آواز میں فقیر سے کہا ’’میں تو خود مصیبتوں کی ماری ہوں ۔ میں کہا ںخیرات دے سکتی ہوں۔ کیا یہ سکہ آپ نے میری ہتھیلی پر رکھا ہے...
This article aims to highlight an important aspect of Islamic Law, which relates to social life of a Muslim. Islamic law promotes social harmony and tolerance, but it makes it balance in the light of basic principles and objectives of Shar'īah. Likewise, Islamic law determines social relation between Muslims with each other as well as the relation of Muslims with Non-Muslim citizens in the Islamic state. Furthermore, it is very significant to know that a Muslim can participate in the traditional and religious functions of Non-Muslim or not? Islamic law has made some parameters in this regard, in this research paper we have focused on this specific issue of Islamic law and tried to explain the legal status of this issue in the light of Quran, Prophetic traditions, and opinions of Muslim Scholars. The research method applied in this paper is descriptive and critical study of different school of thoughts is also provided. Muslims have a long history of mutual contacts with the non-Muslims guided by the Shar’īah principles as they have come together in every age in different political and geographical contexts. In the early days of Islam, Muslims were in the minority. At that time, Muslims participated in the social life of their non-Muslims neighbors. Islam respects other religions. Provides all kinds of facilities to non-Muslims. And allows Muslims to participate in their legitimate programs.۔
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive and non-ionizing medical imaging technique that provides essential clinical information about both the anatomy and physiology of the human body. One of the major limitations of MRI is long scan time. The reduction in scan time is vital for many MRI applications. There are two different stages in MRI scanning process and multiple strategies can be applied to reduce the overall scan time: (i) MRI data acquisition time and (ii) processing the acquired data to reconstruct artifact free high-resolution image (reconstruction time). This thesis mainly focusesonthesecondparti.e. toreducethescantimeofMRI.ThefirstphaseofthisthesispresentsanovelimplementationofGPUbasedSENSEalgorithm(apMRImethod), that employs QR decomposition for the inversion of the rectangular encoding matrix. For a fair comparison, the performance of the proposed GPU based SENSE reconstructionisevaluatedagainstsingleandmulti-coreCPUusingOpenMP.Severalexperiments against various Acceleration Factors (AFs) are performed using multichannel phantom, in-vivo human head and cardiac datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed GPU implementation significantly reduces the computation time of SENSE reconstructionascomparedtomulti-coreCPUwithoutanydegradationinthequalityofthereconstructed images. In the second phase, an iterative sequential combination of Linear Conjugate Gradient (LCG) based pMRI algorithm with p-thresholding based CS algorithm for MR image reconstruction is proposed to reconstruct images from a highly under-sampled data. Theproposedmethod(CGSENSE-CS)exploitsthecomplementarycharacteristics of CGSENSE (making reconstruction algorithm faster and accurate) and CS (efficient method in removing noise) to improve the reconstruction results. The proposed method is compared with contemporary methods CG-SENSE and `1-SPIR-iT, using Phantom and in-vivo human head datasets. Experimental results show that CGSENSE-CS (proposed method) achieves better Artifact Power (AP), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and high Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). Second major limitation of the current MRI technology is that it detects and diagnoses abnormalities in the patient’s body based on the contrast between different tissues. Absolute measurements from a single tissue have proven extremely valuable for the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic assessment. The lack of quantification in current MRI limits an objective evaluation, leads to a variability in interpretation, and potentially limits the utility of the technology in some clinical scenarios. However, Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF), a latest innovation in MRI, can quantitatively examine many magnetic resonance tissue parameters, simultaneously. MRF algorithm in current form is highly computation and memory intensive because it inherently requires all the possible combinations of tissue parameters and inner product is computed between the observedsignalandeverysinglecombinationofthetissueparameters.
