حضرت دلؔ شاہ جہاں پوری
حضرت دلؔشاہ جہاں پوری بڑے پایہ کے قدیم اساتذۂ شعرو سخن میں سے تھے۔فنی اعتبار سے وہ مسلمہ طورپرجانشینِ امیر مینائی تھے۔نظام حیدرآباد نے بھی ازراہِ قدردانی اُن کو اعتبار الملک کاخطاب دیا تھا۔اُن کی شاعری کااصل میدان تغزل تھا، اگرچہ قدرت ہرصنف پررکھتے تھے۔’’نغمۂ دل‘‘اور’’ترانۂ دل‘‘ کے نام سے اُن کے دومجموعے شائع ہوکر عوام وخواص میں مقبول ہوچکے تھے۔ اُن کے تلامذہ کی تعداد جن میں اب بعض خود استاد ہیں سینکڑوں تک پہنچی ہوگی۔ شعروسخن کے علاوہ موصوف اونچے درجے کے طبیب اوردرس نظامی کے باقاعدہ فارغ التحصیل تھے۔اخلاقی اعتبار سے بھی بڑے بلند مرتبہ بزرگ تھے۔ نہایت بامروت وسیر چشم،متواضع،خوددار اورغیور۔ افسوس ہے پچھلے دنوں نوے برس کی عمر میں وفات پائی۔اب ایسے لوگ کہاں ملیں گے؟ اﷲ تعالیٰ مغفرت و رحمت کے لطف ونوازش سے سرفراز فرمائے۔آمین [مارچ۱۹۶۰ء]
Sir Syed Aḥmed Khān belonged to a famous family of the subcontinent during the late Mughal and early British colonial period. He was famous for his close relations with the colonial government. He served many years in the judiciary. In recognition of his services, he was conferred upon with various titles such as Sir, The Imperial Advisor, etc. He is the founder of the educational campaign which was later known as the Aligarh movement. He was worried about the future of Muslims in India. This worry forced him to produce various literary and Islamic books to uplift the political, cultural, educational and social status of the Indian Muslims. One of his famous contribution to Islamic literature of Quranic exegeses is his Tafsīr al-Qur’ān. His tafsīr is influenced by western thoughts. He, instead of following the traditional methodology of Quranic exegeses, tried to understand the Quranic verses rationally. This led him to deviate from many established concepts of Islamic doctrines. He went against the Muslims’ affirmed beliefs in his exegesis. He mistrusted some of the basics of Islamic thoughts and tried his best to make new parameters of writing & reading of the Quranic exegesis on human logics. In addition, some of his views show certain relevance to the Mu'tazilites school of thought. The aim of this paper is to present an analytical and a critical evaluation of the exegetical opinions of Sir Syed Aḥmed Khān, particularly on the issues where he deviated from the mainstream Islamic thoughts in his exegesis, Tafsīr al-Qur’ān.
Mastitis is one of the most economically important diseases of dairy animals in Pakistan. The cure rate of mastitis with the use of antibiotics/antibacterials leaves a lot to be desired. In addition, the use of these agents leads to undesireable residues in milk and poses a host of problems to milk processing industry. Therefore, measures other than the use of antibiotics/antibacterials are being investigated to improve the mastitis cure rate. Keeping these considerations in perspective, the current study was planned with the objective to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and cost-effectiveness of autogenous herd and animal-specific mastitis vaccines alone and in combination with antibiotic based rational therapy after investigating the magnitude of clinical and subclinical mastitis in Tehsil Faisalabad. The current study was compartmentalized into 3 parts. In part I of the study, cattle and buffaloes of 19 villages from 59 Union Councils of Tehsil Faisalabad were screened for subclinical mastitis using surf field mastitis test (SFMT) and 10% of the randomly selected clinically and subclinically mastitic quarters were subjected to microbiological examination of milk. Part II of the study envisaged evaluation of herd-specific mastitis vaccines in 3 dairy herds managing at least 50 animals. The mastitic animals of each farm were randomly divided into 3 equal groups.Group 1 received herd-specific mastitis vaccine @ 5ml/animal I/M twice at an interval of two weeks (Protocol I). Group 2 was treated with standard mastitis therapy i.e. Tylosin @ 10mg/kg for three days I/M + amoxicillin & clavulanic acid @ 600 mg I/mm infusion daily for 5 days (Protocol II) whereas Group 3 received combination of herd-specific autogenous vaccine and standard mastitis therapy (Protocol III). Part III of the study aimed at evaluation of animal-specific autogenous vaccines on 60 (clinical n=30; subclinical n=30) cows and buffaloes belonging to small holder farmers and commercial or institutional farms. Evaluation parameters of part II and III of the study included: clinical severity score, SFMT score, clinical and bacteriological cure rate, somatic cell count (SCC), milk quantity and any untoward effect. Cost-benefit analysis of protocol I, II and III was conducted. The data thus generated were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Chisquare test, where relevant. Regarding prevalance of mastitis A total of 24467 buffaloes and 13061 cows were screened during this study.A total of 4231 buffaloes and 3256 cows were found to be suffering from mastitis indicating 17.29 and 24.93% prevalence in the respective species. The overall or composite (buffaloes plus cows) prevalence was 19.95%.Whereas regarding occurrence of mastitic pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus was most predominant micoorganism in the locale. A better SFMT based cure rate, clinical cure rate, bacteriological cure rate and significantly reduced somatic cell counts and plate count values were observed in animals which were provided with herd-base or animal base autogenous mastitis vaccine alone or in combination with antibiotic therapy in subcinically or clinically mastitic animals. When cost benefit analysis of the protocol-I was carried out it resulted in an average net profit ofRs.359/animal/day on herd basis, while Rs. 331.75 and 362.65/animal/day for subclinical and clinical mastitis when prepared on animal-specific basis.
