عبدالقادر رائے پوری
اس دور میں ہندوستان کے مسلمانوں کو حضرت حاجی امداد اﷲ صاحب مہاجر مکی رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ کے سلسلہ سے جو دینی و روحانی فیوض حاصل ہوئے، اس کی مثال دوسرے سلاسل میں مشکل سے مل سکتی ہے، اسی اعتبار سے یہ پورا سلسلہ۔
ایں سلسلہ از طلاے ناب ست
1ایں خانہ تمام آفتاب است
+کا مصداق ہے، اس سلسلہ میں آسمان علم و معرفت کے ایسے ایسے مہرو ماہ پیدا ہوئے جن کی روشنی سے سارا ہندوستان منور ہے اور آج اس ظلمت کدہ میں علم و عرفان کی جو روشنی بھی نظر آتی ہے وہ سب ان ہی نفوس قدسیہ کا پرتو ہے، اسی نورانی محفل کی ایک شمع فروزاں حضرت مولانا عبدالقادر رائے پوری رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ تھے، وہ اس دور کے شیخ کامل اور قطب وقت تھے، ان کی ذات سے ایک مخلوق ہدایت یاب ہوئی، گمراہوں کو راہ راست ملی، ناقص کامل اور کامل صاحب احوال و مقامات ہوگئے۔ افسوس ہے کہ یہ شمع ہدایت گزشتہ مہینہ گل ہوگئی، گو الحمدﷲ اب اس سلسلہ میں بعض بڑی شخصیتیں موجود ہیں، لیکن ’’ہر گلے رارنگ وبوئے دیگرے است‘‘۔ حضرت رائے پوری رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ اپنے رنگ میں منفرد تھے، ان کے ساتھ ان کی خصوصیات ختم ہوگئیں، وہ بات کوہکن کی گئی کوہکن کے ساتھ۔ اس لیے ان بزرگوں میں سے جو بھی اٹھتا ہے وہ اپنی جگہ ہمیشہ کے لیے خالی چھوڑ جاتا ہے، والبقأ ﷲ وحدہ، اﷲ تعالیٰ عالم آخرت میں حضرت شیخ کے درجات مراتب بلند فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، ستمبر ۱۹۶۲ء)

West generally blames the Muslim world on the grounds that it does not accede to freedom of expression. But in fact, Islam gave the right of freedom of expression for the first time in history. In Rome before Islam was introduced, the rulers used to enslave the masses. Greek ministers, Roman Catholic pastorates, Spanish Inquisitions and the ministerial experts used to rebuff the individuals who used to articulate unapproved religious perspectives. The British Parliament passed a Bill of Rights in 1689. This bill proclaimed the right to speak freely. It returned amid the French Revolution of 1789 which declared speaking freely as a natural right of each person. As indicated by Holy Quran there might be no impulse in acknowledgment of the religion which is also proved from Sunnah and through the actions of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Blasphemy law is a law related to blasphemy, or irreverence toward holy prophets, or beliefs or religious traditions. In the provisions of Article 18 and 19 of the U.N. Charter, no limitations were made for expression which has left the room open for the defamation on name of freedom of speech. According to Islam, maintaining the honor and respect of all people is essential for regional, national and universal peace. Any articulation which abuses peace, honor and pride of any individual, race, religious gathering or any minority assembly as a rule and so forth cannot be incorporated into the meaning of flexibility of articulation or freedom of speech.
In this thesis, we present theoretical studies of antiperovskites ANCa3 (A=Ge, Sn, Pb), BCFe3 (B=Al, Zn, Ga), SnCD3 (D=Co and Fe) and MXY3 (M=Al, Ga, Ir, Mg, Pd, Pt, Rh; X=C, N; Y=Mn, Ni, Sc, Ti, Cr, Fe) as well as SbNCa3, BiNCa3, SbNSr3 and BiNSr3. The calculations are carried out with the full-potential linearized augmented plane waves plus local orbital (FPLAPW+lo) method within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) as well as Boltzmann’s theory. The exchange–correlation effects are treated by the local density approximation (LDA), generalized gradient approximation (GGA-PBEsol) and Engel and Vosko GGA (EV-GGA). Furthermore, the modified Becke and Johnson (mBJ) as well as improved mBJ potentials are used for the exact band gaps of the semiconductors. The relativistic effects in some of the compounds under study are explored by spin-orbit coupling. The consistency of the calculated results of the thermoelectric properties of SnCCo3 and SnCFe3 with the experimental results confirms the reliability of our theoretical calculations for the other investigated metallic antiperovskites, ANCa3 (A=Ge, Sn, Pb), BCFe3 (B=Al, Zn, Ga), SnCD3 (D=Co and Fe) and MXY3 (M=Al, Ga, Ir, Mg, Pd, Pt, Rh; X=C, N; Y=Mn, Ni, Sc, Ti, Cr, Fe). Our results for ANCa3 (A=Ge, Sn, Pb), BCFe3 (B=Al, Zn, Ga) and SnCD3 (D=Co, Fe) indicate that the thermopower of these materials can be enhanced by changing the chemical potential. The dimensionless figure of merit for the three nitrides approaches to 0.96 at room temperature, which predicts the usefulness of these materials in thermoelectric devices. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of these compounds is minimum at room temperature for chemical potential of -0.25 eV to 0.25 eV, with maximum values of dimensionless figure of merit in this range. The striking feature of these studies is identifying a metallic compound, SnNCa3, with the highest value of Seebeck coefficient at room temperature out of all metals. Furthermore, electronic and thermoelectric properties of carbon and nitrogen based twenty metallic antiperovskites MXY3 (M=Al, Ga, Ir, Mg, Pd, Pt, Rh; X=C, N; Y=Mn, Ni, Sc, Ti, Cr, Fe) are investigated. We find high values of Seebeck coefficient and small values of electronic thermal conductivity for AlCTi3, AlNSc3, AlCNi3, AlNTi3, GaCCr3 and MgCNi3 between -0.25 and 0.25 eV chemical potential. These results show high dimensionless figure of merit in metallic materials and therefore, we predict these materials can be potential candidates for low temperature thermoelectric applications. Figure of merit for AlNTi3, GaCCr3, AlCNi3, AlNSc3, MgCNi3 and AlCTi3 materials reaches to 0.32, 0.25, 0.19, 0.19, 0.2 and 0.25 respectively, and hence are predicted to be low temperature thermoelectric materials. The structural, electronic and optical properties of antiperovskite semiconductors, SbNCa3, BiNCa3, SbNSr3 and BiNSr3 are also studied. The calculated lattice constants for these compounds are found consistent with the available experimentally measured values and other theoretical results. The band profiles show that all of these materials are direct band gap semiconductors with the band gap values of 1.1 eV, 1.09 eV, 0.92 eV and 0.81 eV for SbNCa3, BiNCa3, SbNSr3 and BiNSr3 respectively. The direct band gap nature reveals that they may be effective in optical devices and therefore the optical properties of these compounds like the real and imaginary parts of dielectric function, refractive index and absorption coefficient are calculated and discussed. Furthermore, the thermoelectric properties of these semiconductors are also calculated. Our results show high values of Seebeck coefficient for these materials between -0.25 eV and 0.25 eV chemical potential values.
