حافظ فضل حق آزادؔ عظیم آبادی
۲۷؍ شعبان ۱۳۶۱ھ کو صوبہ بہار کے مشہور و ممتاز کہنہ مشق شاعر حافظ فضل حق آزاد عظیم آبادی نے اس دنیائے دوں کو الوادع کہا، مرحوم کی عمر اس وقت غالباً اسّی (۸۰) سے زیادہ ہوگی، کانوں سے اونچا سننے لگے تھے، مگر اس سن و سال میں بھی ان کی شاعری کے شباب کا وہی عالم تھا، غزلوں کے کہنے کا اتفاق کم ہوتا تھا، مگر قومی و علمی و اخلاقی اور فلسفیانہ نظموں کا شوق زیادہ تھا، زیادہ تر اردو میں اور کبھی کبھی فارسی میں کہتے تھے اور شاذو نادر عربی میں بھی طبع آزمائی کی نوبت آجاتی تھی۔
پٹنہ میں سرسید مرحوم کی تعلیمی و قومی تحریک کے علمبردار قاضی رضا حسین صاحب مرحوم تھے، یہ ان کے حیدرآباد کے وفد کے ایک رکن بھی تھے، قاضی صاحب مرحوم کی فیض بخش علمی صحبتوں میں بہار کے جو چند نوجوان ابھرے، بڑھے اور پھیلے، ان میں ایک نام حافظ آزاد مرحوم کا بھی ہے، چنانچہ سرسید مرحوم کے اس ۱۸۹۱ء والے حیدرآبادی وفد میں جس کے دوسرے ممبر مولانا شبلی نعمانی اور مولانا حالی وغیرہ تھے، قاضی رضا حسین صاحب کیساتھ آزاد مرحوم بھی تھے۔
میں نے ان کو سب سے پہلے ۱۹۰۰ء میں جب میری نوعمری تھی ندوہ کے اجلاس پٹنہ میں اپنا ترکیب بند پڑھتے سنا، بلند قد، اونچی آواز، خود اعتمادی کے تیور، لہجہ پر جوش، کٹہرے میں شیر کی گرج سی سنائی دیتی تھی، سامنے علماء اور مشائخ کی صفیں تھیں، جن کی تعداد کئی سو سے کم نہ ہوگی، اکثر کی نورانی شکلوں کی یاد اب بھی دل کو منور کرتی ہے، شاعر نے جب ان کی طرف ہاتھ سے اشارہ کرکے یہ شعر پڑھا ہے:
نشانِ کاروان رفتہ ہیں دل کے اجالے ہیں
غنیمت ہی غنیمت ہیں کہ سب اﷲ...
The Qur’an is the most-read book in the world. Revealed by Allah Almighty to Prophet Muhammad, and revered by Muslims as being Allah’s Final Scripture and Testament, its words have been lovingly recited, memorized and implemented by Muslims of every nationality ever since. The Quran is also the only holy book that can be memorized in its entirety by people of all ages and intellectual abilities – including non-Arabic speakers – which Muslims consider to be one of its miracles. The Holy Quran is the source guide; the purpose of Similitude in Qur’an is to get a lesson. In each instance there is knowledge to mankind, it possesses a particular utility. Allah ta’aala has invited to all mankind to consider the Quran, as in the Holy Quran” Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)?”. This article explains deeply about the Importance of Similitude of Qur’an.
Studies on evaluating the potential of boron application in improving the performance of water saving rice cultivation were conducted in the Seed Science Laboratory, net house and Agronomic Research Area, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. In the lab and net house studies, rate of boron application as seed priming, foliar treatments, seed coating and soil application was optimized to improve the performance of rice cultivars Super basmati and Shaheen basmati following completely randomized design in factorial arrangement with five replications. In the field study, experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with split plot arrangement having net plot size of 8 m x 2.2 m with three replications. Seed priming in 0.001 and 0.01% B solutions improved the time to 50% germination, germination energy, final germination percentage, mean germination time and germination index, leaf emergence and elongation and tiller appearance. Leaf chlorophyll contents were significantly improved by boron especially with 0.001% concentration. Similarly, water relations and different yield contributes of rice cultivars were also improved by boron priming. Boron seed coating also improved the leaf emergence and elongation, and tillering in both rice cultivars. Leaf chlorophyll contents were significantly improved by boron seed coating. Similarly, water relations, growth and yield contributing parameters of rice cultivars were also improved by seed coating with 2-3 g boron kg-1 seed. Soil and foliar applied boron also improved the growth, leaf elongation, tillering, leaf chlorophyll contents, water relations and yield related traits of both rice cultivars. However, soil application at 1 kg ha-1 and foliar application of 0.75 M boron were more effective. Pre-optimized boron treatments, including priming with 0.001% boron, soil application at 1 kg ha-1 and foliar application of 0.75 M boron solution, were applied to rice crop raised by conventional flooding, aerobic culture and alternate wetting and drying. Boron application methods improved water relations, chlorophyll pigments, leaf area index, leaf area duration, crop growth rate, net assimilation rate, different growth and yield related traits of both rice cultivars. Boron application also accelerated the phonological events of both rice cultivars. In addition to improvement in growth and yield, boron application also improved the kernel quality of tested rice cultivars. Normal kernels, kernel length and kernel water absorption ratio were improved by boron application. Similarly boron application substantially enhanced the net benefits and marginal rate of return. Boron application methods improved the efficiency of different production systems, however, soil application in flooded rice, foliar application in alternate wetting and drying and seed priming with boron were more effective.
