مولانا عنایت اﷲ فرنگی محلی
یہ خبر نہایت افسوس کے ساتھ سنی جائے گی کہ فرنگی محل کے ممتاز عالم مولانا عنایت اﷲ صاحب فرنگی محلی نے ۶؍ جولائی ۱۹۴۱ء کو دفعتہ وفات پائی، انا ﷲ و انا الیہ راجعون۔ مرحوم ابھی ۲۴، ۲۵، ۲۶ جون کو ہمارے ساتھ بھوپال میں عربی مدارس کی اصلاح کے کام میں شریک تھے، وہیں دردشکم میں مبتلا ہوئے جس کے باعث وہ کئی دن تک وہاں علیل رہے، سوء ہضم، تسلسل بول اور ضعف قلب کے عوارض ان کو پہلے سے لاحق تھے، بھوپال میں مرض کی تخفیف کے بعد وہ لکھنؤ روانہ ہوئے اور میں بھی ان ہی کی وجہ سے ان ہی کے ساتھ لکھنؤ تک آیا، لکھنؤ اسٹیشن پر پہنچ کر مرحوم نے مجھ سے کہا کہ میں آپ کی زحمتوں اور خدمتوں کا شکریہ اس لیے نہیں ادا کروں گا کہ میں آپ کو اپنے سے علیحدہ نہیں سمجھتا، یہ کہہ سن کر سلام کے بعد ہم دونوں الگ ہوگئے، یہ کون کہہ سکتا تھاکہ یہ سلام رخصت آخری سلام ہے۔

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), declared as a pandemic in March 2020, is an acute respiratory tract illness caused by coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) with clinical manifestations ranging from mild upper respiratory tract symptoms to severe pneumonia. Objectives: To determine the disease spectrum of Covid-19 in a cohort with a travel history from Iran. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study with a retrospective collection of data was conducted at Agha Khan University, Karachi from 15th March to 19th April 2020. One hundred and fifty-five laboratory-confirmed cases of Covid-19 were recruited from a government quarantine facility. Data were obtained from the Punjab Emergency Services (Rescue 1122) database where a record of SARS-CoV-2 positive cases and quarantined persons is maintained. Study subjects with a travel history to Iran were contacted by telephone to obtain information about demographics, symptoms, and co-morbid conditions. SPSS version 24 was used to analyze the data. Frequencies and percentages were calculated. Results: Among the returning travelers, 213 had laboratory-confirmed Covid-19, out of which 155 were included in this study. 56.1% were males with a mean age of 40 years. Among the study participants, 91.6% remained asymptomatic throughout the stay, while 8.4 % became symptomatic. 77.5% of the participants had received BCG vaccination in childhood. Among symptomatic cases 15.4% had asthma and 7.7% had hypertension. The most common clinical manifestation was cough which was present in 38.5% of the study participants. None died among the study participants. Conclusion: A mild presentation of COVID-19 was seen in our study participants with 91.6% among them being asymptomatic, while 8.4% were symptomatic. There was a high positivity rate in males as compared to females.
his dissertation analyzes the concept of khul‘ in Pakistan and its impact on contemporary religious debates in the country. Combining the multiple fields of Islamic legal thought, historical analysis, and contemporary court cases, the dissertation tracks the development of khul‘ from its beginnings to its integration into the Pakistani legal system through the methods of neo-ijtihād by the judiciary. Additionally, the dissertation focuses on the diverse reactions of the ‘ulamā’ to the judges, and in particular the response by the Deobandi Mufti Taqi Usmani, to show the religious dilemma faced by Pakistani Muslim women, with their court-obtained khul‘ orders not accepted as in accordance with the sharī‘a. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that there is a need for wider collaboration and coordination between Pakistani ‘ulamā’, the judiciary and legislature to carefully apply alternative methods of interpretation within Islamic law, solving the dilemma created by the contradictory approach to khul‘ and ensuring both the preservation of women’s rights and sharī‘a legitimacy
