آسی ضیائی رامپوری بطور اقبال شناس
آسی ضیائی رامپوری کا نام قدآور اقبال شناس ناقدین میں شامل ہے۔آسی ضیائی نے ایک تو علی گڑھ یونیورسٹی میں رشید احمد صدیقی جیسے اقبال شناس کی شاگردی اختیار کی دوسرے اقبال کی مادرِ علمی مرے کالج سیالکوٹ کی علمی و ادبی فضا نے آسی ضیائی کی ’’اقبال شناسی‘‘ کے لیے مہمیز کاکام کیا اور یوں آسی ضیائی نے کلام اقبال پر خامہ فرسائی کرتے ہوئے ایک کتاب اور چار مضامین رقم کیے۔
’’کلامِ اقبال کا بے لاگ تجزیہ‘‘ آسی ضیائی کی اقبال شناسی کے حوالے سے مستند تصنیف ہے۔ اس کتاب میں کلامِ اقبال کے اہم خصائص کا اجمال کے ساتھ تجزیہ کیا گیا ہے ۔ایک صد مضامین پر مشتملیہ کتاب تین حصص میں منقسم ہے۔ پہلا حصہ دو ابواب پر ،دوسرا حصہ تین ابواب پر تیسرا اور آخری حصہ ایک باب پر مشتمل ہے۔ ’’کلامِ اقبال کا بے لاگ تجزیہ‘‘ کے آغاز میں آسی ضیائی نے ایک جامع مقدمہ بعنوان ’’اِدعا‘‘ رقم کیا ہے جو کتاب کی اہمیت اور وجہ تحریر پر روشنی ڈالتا ہے۔ کتاب کے حصہ اول میں محبت ،جستجو ،متصوفانہ ،مذھبیت ،مظاہرِ قدرت سے محبت ،مذہبی روایات سے محبت ،تصوف ،عمومی تبصرہ ، خاص موضوعات ،ترجمے ،بقیہ نظمیں، غزلیں ،دوسرا دور ،رومانی شاعری ،ایک انوکھا قیاس ،خورشید ،ایک دلچسپ انکشاف، دوسری نظمیں ،نئے دور کا آغاز، خلاصۂ بحث اور محرکات جیسے مضامین کی فہرست ہے۔
کتاب کے حصہ دوم میں بعد کی شاعری ،اسلوب کا جائزہ ،وسیلہ ،ساخت و پرداخت ،حکیمانہ اسلوبِ شاعری کی خصوصیات ،سادگی اور ندرت ،تمثیل نگاری ،تخاطبِ بالغائب ،رموز وعلائم کا استعمال ،حالیؔ،اکبرؔ،اقبالؔ ،صوت و آہنگ کا اہتمام ،تصورات و پیغام پر تبصرہ ،خودی ،تصورِ خودی کا وھبی و ماحولی پس منظر ،اثباتِ خودی ،اثباتِ خودی کے مقامات، شرفِ انسانی، تسخیرِ فطرت، مسئلہ خیر و شر اور روح و جسم کا اتحاد...
Scholars of the Usul -early and recent- have paid utmost importance to the Maqâsid al-Shariah or the Objectives of Shariah and tried to substantiate, associate and link them with its sources, Qur’an and Sunnah, then to derive from them the Legislator’s or the Shari‘s purpose, the revelation’s true purpose and how it benefits the creatures in terms of promoting what is in their interest and shunning away what is harmful. These objectives became the point of interest for the jurists and scholars who toiled to understand the texts and what they connoted and they continue to venture into its depths and extract its treasures. It becomes quite evident from their exegeses of Qur’an and the Prophetic Traditions and elucidations of the juristic principles and issues. Imam al-Shâtibī and Ibn ‘Ashoor are two such scholars in this field who studied the Objectives of Shariah and contributed to this discipline so greatly that they became reference points for those who came after them. The basic principles in the field that were inferred by them are still its pillars. The Objectives of Shariah are divided into four kinds with reference to their benefits: the necessities, needs, improvements and supplements. The necessities are further divided into protection of Deen, protection of self, of intellect, of possessions and of race among others. Prudence demands that all means should be employed to safeguard these necessities. Thus knowing the Objectives of Shariah and their promulgation among the masses is quite important for the society since it leads towards promotion of the beneficial and shunning away the harmful elements in it.
The flood risk prevention and the effective water resources management and planning require flows of a river to be recorded continuously and analysed at considered barrages or dams. For a given barrage and dam the flow temporal variation over a certain span of time can graphically be represented by a hydrograph. The hydrograph provides information which is essential for determining the frequencies and severity of flood events. The major characteristics of flood hydrograph are duration (d), peak (p) and volume (v) which are obtained from the components of the hydrograph. Traditional approaches for frequency analysis of hydrology considered these features individually in a context of the univariate study. These features were considered jointly in a multivariate study so that the structure of their dependency could be encountered. Hence, the univariate approaches are not reliable enough to represent the phenomenon and cause reducing the accuracy of risk estimation whereas multivariate approaches contribute in improving the accuracy of risk estimation by considering joint features and dependency structure between characteristics of a flood. However, all the preceding approaches carried the aim of analysing the number of flood characteristics and ignored the comprehensive information provided by the hydrograph. Present research carries an object which contains a framework to introduce the hydrographs as a functional data curve for frequency analysis. This context uses the whole hydrograph as an infinite dimensional observation so that more efficient and effective estimates regarding the risk of associated extreme events can be obtained. The contribution of the proposed approach is to address the problem usually encountered in hydrology regarding incomplete data by exhaustively employing complete information produced by the hydrographs. A number of tools for the analysis of functional data (AFD) are introduced and applied to frequency analysis of flood (FAF) in order to execute exploratory analysis which is an initial step towards comprehensive functional FAF. The methods employed as a first step of exploratory analysis are a visualization of data, measures of location and scale, principal component analysis and detection of outliers are illustrated using real-world flood data of barrages and dams on the River Indus of Pakistan.
