اطہرؔ صدیقی(۱۹۳۵ء۔پ) کا اصل نام محمدیسیٰن صدیقی اور اطہرؔ تخلص کرتے تھے۔ آپ چوہان حال برہان پور تحصیل پسرور میں پیدا ہوئے۔ آپ معروف شاعر پروفیسر حفیظ صدیقی کے بھائی تھے۔ حفیظ صدیقی کی راہنمائی میں اطہر نے زمانہ طالب علمی میں شاعری کا آغاز کیا تو ان کا کلام ملک کے معروف ادبی رسائل و جرائد میں شائع ہونے لگا۔(۹۱۶)
اطہرؔ کا پہلا شعری مجموعہ’’ کاکل غم‘‘ غزلوں اور نظموں پر مشتمل ہے جو۱۹۸۷ء میں شائع ہوا۔دوسرامجموعہ کلام’’ذوق سفر‘‘ کے نام سے ۱۹۸۹ء میں صدیقی پبلی کیشنز لاہور سے طبع ہوا۔ یہ مجموعہ غزلیات پر مشتمل ہے۔ تیسرا شعری مجموعہ’’آبرؤے غم‘‘۱۹۹۰ء میں صدیقی پبلی کیشنز لاہور سے شائع ہوا۔ یہ مجموعہ بھی غزلیات پر مشتمل ہے۔ چوتھا شعری مجموعہ ’’گردِ مسافت‘‘غزلیات اور نظموں پر مشتمل ہے۔
اطہر ؔصدیقی کی شاعری کا بڑا موضوع عظمت انسان ہے ۔وہ اپنی شاعری میں حضور ؐ کی ذات اقدس کے شیدائی نظر آتے ہیں۔ ان کے نزدیک حضرت محمدؐ کی ہستی عظمت انسان کی علامت ہے۔ اور وہی مثالیِانسان کا نمونہ ہیں۔انھوں نے نعت میں ہی نہیں بلکہ اپنی نظم اور غزل میں بھی عظمتِ انسان کی حقیقت کا اظہار کیا ہے:
ذرے ذرے سے پوچھ دیکھا ہے
-دشت در دشت کون رہتا ہے
5کون رہتا ہے لا مکاں میں اب
3کس کی رعنائیوں کا چرچا ہے

ƒاطہرؔ کی شاعری عزم و ہمت ،جوش ،جواں جذبوں ،جستجو اور بلند حوصلوں سے بھر پور شاعری ہے ۔وہ اپنی شاعری میں کہیں بھی پست ہمت نظر نہیں آتے۔ان کے ہاں جوش اور جذبات کی شدت قاری کے حوصلے کو بلند...
It is evident from the teaching of Quran & Sunna, Allah SWT accepts the repentance of His servants. The concept of repentance is according to synthesis of human nature. As a matter of fact, the commission of sins is deep rooted into the human nature and except the messengers of Allah SWT, who are by their nature immaculate and impeccable, all the human beings commit the sins in one form or the other. However, the countless mercy of Allah SWT is showered upon the servants in the shape of “tauba” or repentance. The concept of repentance infuses a new life into the sinful soul of human being. The tauba or seeking forgiveness of Allah SWT revitalizes the enthusiasm of worship in the Muslim. The concept of the acceptance of tauba provide the peace of mind, consolation and satisfaction of heart to the believers. It enables him to reconnect himself to his Lord. Once a person realizes the forgiveness of Allah SWT, he feels a unique tranquility in his heart. This paper will investigate the multiple verses of Quran and Prophetic Sunna concerning the tauba and istaghfar, and how it helps us to attain the peace of mind and acquire satisfaction of heart.
Karachi, being one of the largest urban setup in the world under the sprawl of rapid and unplanned urbanization, is at the risk of contaminated atmosphere. In the present study, chemical contaminants were assessed and monitored in wet and dry atmospheric depositions of Karachi to identify the adverse impact of anthropogenic activities mainly and climatic influence in general affecting atmospheric composition of Karachi. Samples of rainwater had been collected for five years (i.e. 2008, 2010 – 2013), to estimate the ionic load in wet deposition. Similarly, dust samples were collected from different sites for the analyses and estimation of contaminants in dry deposition. Sampling sites with intense vehicular activities, neighboring to industrial zone and sites in congested localities where routine dumping and burning of garbage were in progress, were given due consideration during the sampling campaigns. Major ions (F-, Cl-, SO42-, NO2-, NO3-, HCOO-, CH3CHOO-, C2O42-, Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+) were analyzed through Ion Chromatography as per EPA method 300, UV/Visible spectrophotometer was used for the analysis of NH4+ and TOC analyzer was used for the monitoring of TOC in rainwater samples. XRF analysis was carried out for the quantitative scanning of complete elemental profile of dry samples. Heavy metals were also monitored along with other elements. Air mass back trajectories were generated for the rainy events using NOAA HYSPLIT model for confirming the climatic control on the composition of rainwater. GIS was used as a tool to interpret data through thematic maps. Source apportionment of contaminants was supported by evaluating different factor like Enrichment Factor (EF), Neutralization Factor (NF), Correlation Matrix, and Factor Analysis (FA) using PCA (Principal Component Analysis). It was concluded through the detailed systematic analysis and processing of the data through several statistical and GIS models that acidic ions are present in high concentrations which are concealed by the neutralizing agents like Na+ and Ca2+ in atmosphere. Elemental profile indicates the alarming enrichment of Pb and Zn in atmospheric deposition samples of industrial areas and sites with high vehicular activities. This study provides very first systematic efforts to set a baseline data of contaminants in the ambient atmospheric wet and dry depositions of Karachi city.
