فیصل، شاہ ( شہید )
کل شیء ھالک الا وجھہ
گزشتہ مہینہ شاہ فیصل کاحادثۂ شہادت موجودہ حالات میں عالم اسلام کا سب سے بڑا المیہ ہے جس کی شدت کوایک مدت تک فراموش نہ کیاجاسکے گا۔ مرحوم اس زمانہ میں عالم اسلام کی آبرو، عزت و وقار اورتمکنت تھے۔ قدرت نے انھیں سوز اورساز دونوں نعمتوں سے نوازا تھا۔کہنے کوخادم حرمین شریفین تھے لیکن درحقیقت وہ پاسبان ونگہبان حرم اسلام تھے۔ نورایمان ویقین ان کاجوہر ذاتی، تعامل بالکتاب والسنۃ ان کاآئین حقیقی، فہم وفراست اورتدبر و دوراندیشی ان کی طبیعت کے گوہر آبدار تھے۔ مرحوم کی سربراہی کی مدت گیارہ برس سے زیادہ نہیں ہے، اوریہ وہ زمانہ ہے جب کہ عالم اسلام اندرونی وبیرونی اسباب وعوامل کے باعث شدید کشمکش امید وبیم سے دوچار تھااوراس کے سرپر اضطراب وتشویش کی قیامتیں مچل رہی تھیں، لیکن شاہ فیصل کی قائدانہ بصیرت وبصارت نے وہ معجزہ نمائی کی کہ عالم ہی دوسرا ہوگیا۔ امریکہ جواس وقت دنیا کی سب سے بڑی طاقت و قوت ہے اورسیاست’’ فرنگ‘‘__جواس دور کا سب سے بڑاحربہ ہے، دونوں نے اس طرح سپرافگنی کی کہ روس اورامریکہ کے بجائے عالم کی نظریں شاہ کی جنبش مژگان وآبروپرمرتکز ہوگئیں اورامریکہ کے ٹائمز وغیرہ کوتسلیم کرنا پڑا کہ اس زمانہ کاسب سے بڑاسیاسی اورطاقتور انسان شاہ فیصل ہیں۔ یہ انھی کا حوصلہ تھا کہ عرب کی طاقت کالوہا دنیا سے منوالیا،انھوں نے عرب ممالک میں اتحاد پیدا کیا، انھیں خوداعتمادی سکھائی، عرب قومیت کی لعنت سے نجات دلا کرانھیں صراط مستقیم پر گامزن کیا۔ان کے دل میں اسلام اورمسلمانوں کادرد کوٹ کوٹ کر بھرا ہوا تھا۔ انھوں نے اربوں اورکھربوں روپیہ سے ضرورت مند عرب اوردوسرے عرب اسلامی ممالک کی بے تحاشا مدد کی، دنیا میں جہاں کہیں بھی مسلمان آباد ہیں ان پر اُن کی نگاہ رہتی اوراُن کے فوزوفلاح کی تدبیر...
تعمیرِسماج کا اسلامی منہج : حضرت عمر فاروقؓ کی فکر و بصیرت کی روشنی میں تجزیاتی مطالعہ The modern era is considered as advanced and humanized in terms of materialized advancement only. Today the leading societies of the world have created a self-sufficient religion in the name of humanism and have set standards ignoring Divine guidance. Thus, man has the right to decide the rules and norms of society on his own goodwill. As a result, the breaking of family system, appearance of gay and homosexual relations, etc. Are being considered as legitimate in many countries where religion is no more considered a guiding principle. On the other hand, revealed religions have focus on the development of humanity in terms of both the ethical and materialistic perspectives. Islam as religion has provided a model of such an advancement and social change in history that has proven that Divine guidance is major source for betterment and development of civilization and humanity. This was practically proven in the time of Muslim golden rule in the world. The caliph Umar (R.A) was the man who introduced for the first time, the principles and values, which has changed the Arabs to a civilized and humanized nation. This huge change was made possible in the light of Divine guidance. In this academic article all such norms, values, and principles that were introduced by Sayyīdnā Umar (R.A) which brought a social change in his Era are discussed. Facts have been collected from historic books and presented following the descriptive and analytical method. Although, the information was narrated and scattered in the books, no proper study was introduced where the role of these reforms in the social construction was analyzed. The aim of the study has to investigate the historic facts of social change in the era of the righteous Caliph Sayyidna Umar bin Khattāb and prepare a guideline for the humanity in present era.
The development of transgenic crops is extensively changing the landscape in agricultural production and at the same time raising world-wide debate regarding the safety as well as regulatory process of genetically modified food and feed crops. Genetically engineered peanut crop having rcg3 and bar gene (resistant to tikka disease and tolerant to herbicide) were subjected to risk assessment according to guidelines given by OECD. In the first year experiment was conducted in the green house at National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad. In second year transgenic plants were grown along with their non transgenic counterparts at NARC , Islamabad, Groundnut Research Station, Attock (GRS) and Barani agricultural research Institute (BARI), Chakwal for evaluation of performance and biosafety concerns in different environmental conditions. No horizental or vertical gene flow was observed from the transgenic plants to non transgenic plants and soil microbial communities. Transgenic seeds were also found to be substantially equivalent with their non transgenic counterparts in terms of protein, fat , fatty acid and micronutrient contents in the seeds etc. Aflatoxin levels were also evaluated using HPLC in transgenic and non transgenic seeds and it was found that insertion of rcg3 gene significantly controlled the aflatoxins in transgenic seeds. As Peanut grains are directly consumed by end user, therefore crop was also evaluated for its allergy and toxicity potential by using rabbit as test animal. Genotoxicity and cytotoxicity among the test animals was studied using Comet and micronuclei assay respectively. The resulting images obtained from the Comet and micronuclei assay revealed no DNA damage and all lymphocytes appeared round with single nuclei. Genetically engineered strains of bacteria 12 Salmonella typhimurium also indicated no mutagenic potential of transgenic seeds. M crops showed significant increase in the yield and yield parameters and this increase was maximum in the plants having rcg 3 gene mainly through the control of fungus disease. Therefore, it can be concluded that although in the current study GM peanut had not exerted any toxic effect in the specific conditions of the experiment. More detailed and through investigation is required in this regard by designing some multigenerational studies keeping in view the use of peanut as a food and feed crop.
