صاحبِ صدر اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پرلب کشائی کا موقع ملا ہے وہ ہے:’’جھوٹ کے نقصانات‘‘
معزز سامعین!
جہاں تک کذب بیانی کے نقصانات کا تعلق ہے تو وہ تو شمار سے باہر ہیں چند ایک ہوں تو انہیں احاطہ تحریر میں لایا جاسکتا ہے لیکن ان کی تعدا در یت کے ذرّوں اور سمندری پانی کے قطروں سے بھی زیادہ ہوتو پھر ان کی گنتی مشکل بھی ہے اور ناممکن بھی اس کا سب سے بڑا نقصان یہ ہے کہ جھوٹا انسان نہ صرف خود اپنے جھوٹ کی نجاست سے تن، من ، دھن کو ناپاک اور غلیظ کرتا ہے بلکہ اس کے جھوٹ کی غلاظت سے اٹھنے والی گھن محلے، معاشرے اور قوم کے خوشگوار ماحول کی پرفضارونق کو بھی مکدر کر دیتی ہے۔ وہ اپنا اعتماد کھو دیتا ہے، اپنی سماجی زندگی کا حلیہ( بگاڑ لیتا ہے ) احباب، اصدقا اور عزیز واقارب میں اس کی حیثیت مرد بیمار کی سی ہوجاتی ہے۔
صدرِذی وقار!
نبی کریمؐ نے ارشاد فرمایا ہے کہ مسلمان میں دیگر عیوب پیدا ہو سکتے ہیں لیکن سچا مسلمان کبھی جھوٹا نہیں ہوسکتا۔ آپؐ نے منافقین کی علامتوں میں سے ایک اہم علامت جھوٹ بتائی ہے، بلکہ ایک مقام پر یہ بھی ارشاد فرمایا گیا ہے کہ اگر کسی شخص کا جھوٹ ثابت ہو جائے تو پھر اس کی گواہی قبول نہیں ہوسکتی۔ یہ اس کے لیے ڈوب مرنے کا مقام ہے کہ ایک واقعہ اس کی آنکھوں کے سامنے ہور ہا ہے اور وہ بالکل عینی گواہ ہے لیکن جھوٹا ہونے کی بنیاد پر اس کی عینی گواہی بھی قابلِ قبول نہیں ہے۔
معزز حاضرین!
جھوٹے آدمی کی جہاں دنیا بر باد...
Fine Arts, shows the aesthetic side of any society and it is very important part of any culture, as its presence expresses the cultural diversity and richness and connects different segments of society. This article throws a light on the fine arts of Makkah society before the Prophet Hood. It is very common among historians and orientalists to accuse the society of Makkah void of any cultural expression apart from its love for poetry, which is not true. The matter of the fact is that this society was fully developed aesthetically despite its nomadic and barren desert life. The cultural expressions of storytelling, poetry, architecture, painting, sculpture making were true and pure to this part of world without any influence from outside world. The tradition of storytelling was an essential element of Makkah cultural life and it was common among the elite of Makkah to have night sittings, where along with drinking, music they used to narrate anecdotes of past. Although the architecture of Makkah people was simple, it was self-sufficient to the needs of the environment. This research paper is an attempt to look into the various forms of Fine Arts of Makkah and how these expressions were deeply embedded in the society.
Introduction: Low Vitamin D levels in pregnancy have been associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, bacterial vaginosis, preterm birth, disordered fetal skeletal homeostasis, and impaired offspring lung health. As a result, current public health advice in several countries is to universally supplement Vitamin D during pregnancy. Data regarding the Vitamin D levels of the ethnic obstetric population in Kenya are not available; hence recommendations for Vitamin D supplementation have no scientific basis. Objectives of study: This research was carried out to determine the prevalence of deficiency of Vitamin D in ethnic African obstetric patients who had delivered at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya, by measuring levels of twenty-five hydroxyVitamin D (25OHD - the status marker of Vitamin D), noting that levels in pregnancy worldwide vary from 18 - 84%, and local levels are unknown. Methods: This was a cross-sectional prevalence study carried out at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya, with the study population being ethnic African females who had delivered at the facility. This site was chosen as it is an urban hospital found within the equatorial belt, where majority of the population is dark-skinned (higher melanin levels hamper Vitamin D production via skin, the primary method through which Vitamin D is produced in the body). Blood samples were collected from 97 sequentially sampled newly delivered women after informed consent, and the levels of 25OHD were measured. The prevalence of deficiency was thereafter calculated. The Vitamin D levels were also related to the patient’s Body Mass Index, and their categorical amount of sun exposure. Results: The prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in the stated population was calculated to be 79.4% (95% CI 70.5 - 86.6%). No association was noted between the Vitamin D levels, and the Body Mass Indices of the participants, and neither was an associated relationship inferred between Vitamin D levels and the sun exposure times. Conclusion: It is concluded that the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency is present in a significant proportion of the ethnic African urban mothers that choose to deliver at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya. This figure is noted to be amongst the upper part of the range signifying Vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy the world over (18-84%). Recommendations: Further to this finding, the study provides evidence for routine Vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy in ethnic African females living in equatorial cities. Larger
