آہ! مولانا عبدالمجید ندوی
افسوس ہے کہ ۲۳ مئی کو مولانا عبدالمجید ندوی صدر مدرس مدرستہ الاصلاح سرائے میر ایک حادثہ میں جاں بحق ہوگئے، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
وہ ایک تقریب میں شرکت کے لیے جارہے تھے، رانی کی سرائے میں کوئی بچہ ان کی گاڑی کی زد میں آگیا، مگر ڈرائیور کی ہوشیاری سے وہ بالکل بچ گیا اور اسے کوئی چوٹ نہیں آئی، اس کے باوجود بعض شرپسند لوگوں نے پتھراؤ کیا۔ جس سے مولانا کے دماغ پر ضرب شدید آگئی اور اعظم گڑھ اسپتال میں انھوں نے دم توڑ دیا۔
مدرستہ الاصلاح میں متوسطات تک تعلیم حاصل کرنے کے بعد وہ ندوۃ العلما لکھنؤ میں داخل ہوئے، فراغت کے بعد لکھنؤ یونیورسٹی سے ایم۔ اے کیا، پھر بی۔ایڈ کے لیے شبلی کالج اعظم گڑھ میں داخلہ لیا۔ ندوہ کی آخری جماعت میں تفسیر کا درس مولانا عبدالباری ندوی فلسفی سے لیا۔ جن کی تعلیم و تربیت کا خاص اثر ان پر پڑا، وہ کئی برس تک ان کے ساتھ ہی ان کے مکان میں رہے، اس سے ان کو بڑا علمی و دینی فائدہ پہنچا مگر باقاعدہ بیعت مولانا سید ابوالحسن علی ندوی مدظلہ سے ہوئے۔
اعظم گڑھ میں وہ میرے ساتھ رہتے تھے، ان کے دینی ذوق و رجحان، مذہبی حمیت، شعائردین اور ارکان اسلام کے احترام خصوصاً نماز کی پابندی اور اہتمام کی بنا پر مولانا شاہ معین الدین احمد ندوی ان کی بڑی قدر کرتے تھے اور شاہ صاحب نے دارالمصنفین میں لائبریرین کی حیثیت سے ان کا تقرر بھی کیا مگر وہ اپنے بعض مشاغل کی وجہ سے یہاں زیادہ دنوں تک قیام نہیں کرسکے۔ اس کے بعد مختلف وقتوں میں مدرستہ الاصلاح، جامعتہ الرشاد اور شعبۂ دینیات مسلم یونیورسٹی سے وابستہ ہوئے، ادہر چند برس سے وہ مدرستہ الاصلاح کے مہتمم تھے۔ ان میں لکھنے پڑھنے کی اچھی...
According to traditional-religious-culture the early age marriages are very common custom especially in rural areas. The act of marring girls in early ages is considered to be a good practice in these constituencies; in contrast, the holy Quran has provided some logical guidelines to reject this idea. In the holy Quran “men” are instructed to marry as per their choice, which reveals, it is necessary for a “man” to be adult (Baligh) for marriage. Considering this fact, how it is possible that a man can be permitted to have a non-adult (Nabaligh) life partner? In this regard, marriages between Adult and Non-adult, Non-adult and Non-adult are not permitted because it is against the right of equality. Further, the holy Quran instructs the guardians of the orphans to return them their valuables when reach to the age of Nikah; which reveals that there is a particular standard of age set for Nikah, if it is not so, why the holy Quran has made this bounding for the guardians of the orphans? As per the guidance of the holy Quran, it is clear that Nikah requires both man and women not only to be physically adult/mature but also mentally adult/mature. In this connection, it has been highlighted that Nikah which is a physical contract requires a particular age for man and woman which however cannot be an age of Non-adult.
In Pakistan, work regarding crop response to sulphur application is limited to oilseeds and their oil contents only. Research work regarding integrated use of phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) and their role in legume’s nitrogen fixation and nutrient uptake is very rare. Interactive effect of P and S on crop yield may be synergistic or antagonistic depending upon initial soil fertility status, levels of nutrients applied and test crop used. Therefore, present study was conducted to assess the effect of S and P application on seed yield, nitrogen (N2) fixation and nutrient uptake by chickpea crop under rainfed conditions of northern Punjab, Pakistan. Field experiments were conducted with Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) at Chakwal (32.5° N latitude, 72.4° E longitude) and Talagang (32.5° N latitude, 72.2° E longitude) during 2006-07 and 2007-08. The trials were carried out in RCBD having split split plot arrangement with P rates in main plots, S sources in subplots and S rates in sub sub plots. There were eighteen treatments comprising of different combinations of P levels (0, 40, 80 kg ha-1), S sources [gypsum and ammonium sulphate (AS)] and S levels (0, 15, 30 kg ha-1). Effect of P and S application was significant on N2 fixation and seed yield of chickpea. Phosphorus application had non significant effect on percent nitrogen derived from air (%Ndfa) while that of S application had significant effect resulting in increase in %Ndfa up to 6 percent. Application of P and S resulted in significant increase in seed yield up to 34 and 13 percent, respectively over control. Macronutrients uptake such as N, P and S in both straw and grain was significantly affected by sole as well as combined application of phosphorus and sulphur. Two S sources also differed significantly with higher uptake recorded with AS than gypsum. Application of S resulted in increased uptake of micronutrients such as zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) in both straw and grain. Similar results were also recorded for P with the exception that higher level of P application (80 kg P2O5 ha-1) resulted in decrease in Zn uptake in both grain and straw. Soil analysis after crop harvest revealed that application of P caused an increase in available P level up to 37 percent over control while that of S application resulted in reduction up to 10 percent. Reduction in soil S content up to 3 percent due to P application and an increase up to 30 percent was recorded because of S application. Sulphur status of gypsum treated plots was higher than that of ammonium sulphate. Higher value cost ratio (VCR) and marginal rate of return (MRR) was recorded for gypsum than ammonium sulphate. In case of combined application of P and S, maximum VCR (6.92) and MRR (9.50) were recorded for P1L1 (40 kg P2O5 and 15 kg S ha-1). Treatment P2L2 (80 kg P2O5 and 30 kg S ha-1) had negative MRR which shows that this fertilizer combination is not profitable. The study concludes that P application should be accompanied with S for pulses. This will lead to increase in fertility status of our soils resulting from more efficient N2 fixation. It will not only improve the quality of produce but will also lead to sustainability of soil resources. Gypsum is more economical S source than ammonium sulphate.
