ڈاکٹرشہزاد احمد کی نعتیہ شاعری
نعت کی مختصر روایت
عربی میں نعت کے معنی ’’وصف‘‘ کے ہیں لیکن اُردو میں اس کا استعمال حضور اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی ستائش وثنا کے لیے مخصوص ہے۔(۱)اصطلاح میں ہر وہ نثر پارہ یا منظوم کلام جو رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی مدح میں ہو نعت کہلاتا ہے، نعت گوئی وصف محمود کا دوسرا نام ہے۔ اس بارے میں ڈاکٹر رفیع الدین اشفاق رقم طراز ہیں:
’’نعت کے معنی یوں تو وصف کے ہیں لیکن ہمارے ادب میں اس کا استعمال مجازاً حضرت رسول سیدالمرسلین صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کے وصف محمودو ثنا کے لیے ہوا ہے جس کا تعلق دینی احساس اور عقیدت مندی سے ہے۔‘‘(۲)
نعت کا آغاز اللہ رب العزت نے خود کیا اور انبیاء ورُسل کو نبی آخر الزماںصلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی آمد کی نوید سنائی۔ پھر قرآن مجید خود رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کے اوصاف حمیدہ اور سراپامبارک کے بیان سے مزین ہے۔ یہ سلسلہ قبل ازاسلام سے جاری ہے۔ تبع حمیری جو شاہ یمن تھا، اُس کے اشعار زبان زد عام ہیں ۔ راجا رشید محمود کے مطابق:
’’اولین نعت کی حقیقت یہ ہے کہ ہمارے آقا و مولاصلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کے اولین نعت گو تبان اسعدبن کلی کرب تھے جنھیں تبع، شاہ یمن کہا جاتا ہے اور وہ حضورصلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم سے کم ازکم سات سو سال پہلے ہوئے ہیں۔‘‘(۳)
بعدازا سلام عرب میں پہلی نعت جناب ابوطالبؓ نے سردارانِ قریش کے سامنے کہی۔ یہ نعت قصیدے کی صنف میں تھی۔ اس کے بعد حضرت حسان بن ثابتؓ، عبداللہ بن رواحہؓ، کعب بن مالک انصاریؓ اور کعب بن زہیرؓ کاروان نعت کے وہ خوش نصیب شعرا ہیں جنھوں نے حیاتِ رسولؐ...
The major theme of this paper is exploration of new dimensions of marketing leadership effectiveness. These dimensions are discussed in theoretical perspective but the main contribution of this research is their empirical testing. The four intellects namely business, spiritual, emotional as well as political intelligence of marketing leaders are taken for measuring marketing leadership effectiveness and their impact on change management is analysed. The data was collected from manufacturing sector of Pakistan from the marketing leaders who are involved in the process of change management through purposive sampling technique. The sample size for current study was 200. Reliability of items is checked through Cronbach’s Alpha test. Results of correlation and regression analysis of study found positive and it is concluded that four selected intellects can act as measures of marketing leadership effectiveness which help in managing change successfully in organizations. This research has significant implications for industry experts as they can judge the ability of marketing managers while assigning them leadership role after measuring the four intellects as proposed in this research. For academia point of view, researchers who are interested to measure marketing leadership effectiveness can gain insight from present research.
Bread wheat is the greatest vital crop for global population.An investigation to find out the genetic diversity among 102 wheat genotypes acquired from Plant Genetic Resources Institute of Pakistan. Agro-morphological data was noted for nineteen measurable traits at various growing phases in the winter 2016 in Mansehra District. The data was analyzed by applying Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Least significant difference test (LSD), Principal component analyses and cluster analysis. Results revealed significant level of diversity for all the morphological traits. Out of one hundred and two genotypes, a subset of eighteen has been established having quality characters. The genotypes were clustered into five groups clusters based on Euclidean dissimilarity index.PCA based on 19 morphological characters under 2016 year displayed that first 5th PCs accounted for 55.83% of total variance, PC I, PC II, and PC III showed maximum genetic variability 18.15%, 13.33%, 10.78% respectively of total morphological diversity. Wheat seedling were also screened for drought tolerance through Relative water contents (RWC), Water loss rate (WLR), Water use efficiency (WUE) and selected root traits. The genotypes seemed to respond differently during drought and normal environment for physiological and seedling traits. Under drought stress condition PS-05, PS-08, Atta Habib, 10770 and 10779 were considered as drought tolerant due to their high relative water contents, lower water loss rate and higher water use efficiency. Under drought condition shoot length, root length, root fresh weight, and root dry weight, shoot fresh weight, and root dry weight decreased by 30.95, 31.26, xiii 47.20, 55.03, 37.25, 34.18%, respectively. Significant and positive correlation was found among most of the seedling traits under normal and stress conditions. The genotypes PS-05, PS-08, Atta Habib, 10770, 10779, 10761, and 10785 were screened as drought tolerant while Faisalabad-08, Sehar-06, Lasani-08, 011870, 011872, 011871, and 011869 as drought susceptible genotypes. Out of 58 SSR markers used for estimation of genetic diversity 47 showed polymorphism. The dendrogram was created based on coefficient of similarity using UPGMA analysis. Per locus an average alleles were 7.027 detected. Per marker with an average of 0.84 of PIC values were observed. It was concluded from the results that microsatellite markers were effective in detect polymorphic marker with high genetic similarity in wheat. Two drought responsive candidate genes (Dehydration-Responsive Element Binding (dreb), and Fructan exohydrolase (Feh), were amplified using KASP. Out of the 102 genotypes, 61 were found to carry the allele A (dreb – resistant allele) which refers to the Dreb gene, while 33 genotypes were found to carry the allele C (feh – resistant allele) which is highly expressed under drought stress.Our results demonstrated the relative importance of several morphological, physiological, root traits, SSR, and KASP markers using dreb, feh gene for drought resistant evaluation in genotypes of wheat. This study offers claims to cultivate drought tolerant genotypes for food security in drought prone environment.
