عبدالمجید سالک
پنجاب نے اردو زبان وادب کی جونادر شخصیتیں پیدا کی ہیں۔عبدالمجید سالک مرحوم کانام ان حضرات کی صف اوّل میں تھا۔انھوں نے منشی فاضل کرکے بی۔اے کیا تھا، لیکن ذاتی مطالعہ،ذہانت اورشعروادب کے فطری ذوق کے باعث ادبی دنیا میں اس قدر شہرت حاصل کی تھی کہ ایک زمانہ میں ’زمیندار‘ اخبار میں ان کے فکاہات اور’انقلاب‘ اخبار میں ان کے’’افکاروحوداث‘‘پنجاب میں گھر گھر بڑے شوق اوردلچسپی سے پڑھے جاتے تھے اوراخبار کھولتے ہی لوگ سب سے پہلے یہی چیزیں پڑھتے تھے۔غلام رسول مہر کی طرح مرحوم بھی مولانا ظفر علی خاں کے خاص تربیت یافتہ تھے۔اردوزبان کے محاورات و امثال پر بڑا عبور رکھتے تھے اوراس وصف خاص میں استاد سے بھی سبقت لے گئے تھے۔ انھوں نے مہر صاحب کے رفیق کی حیثیت سے اردو صحافت کاایک ایسامعیار قائم کیا کہ آج بھی بہت سے اخبارات انھی کے نقش قدم پر چل رہے ہیں۔
اردو زبان کے بلند پایہ ادیب اورصحافی ہونے کے علاوہ بے تکلف اورفی البدیہہ شعر بھی کہتے تھے اوریہ غالباً مولانا ظفر علی خاں کی صحبت ہی کافیض تھا۔اب ادھر چند برسوں سے سنجیدہ تصنیف وتالیف کی طرف متوجہ ہوگئے تھے۔چنانچہ اس سلسلہ میں ان کی دوکتابیں’’ذکر اقبال‘‘اور’’ہندوستانی مسلمانوں کی تاریخ ثقافت‘‘، جس پر برہان میں تبصرہ بھی ہوچکاہے، بڑی اچھی کتابیں ہیں۔طبعاً مرحوم بھی بڑے خندہ جبیں،خندہ رو، اورفرخندہ شمائل انسان تھے۔مزاج میں اعتدال پسندی اور میانہ روی تھی یہاں تک کہ سیاسیات میں بھی اُن کامسلک معتدل ہی رہا۔وہ اردو کے ان چند خوش نصیب اخبار نویسوں میں تھے جنھوں نے محض اپنے قلم سے شہرت بھی خوب حاصل کی اوردولت بھی کافی کمائی۔ حضرت الاستاذ مولانا سید محمد انور شاہ صاحب الکشمیریؒ سے بڑی عقیدت اور محبت رکھتے تھے اوراسی تعلق سے راقم الحروف کے ساتھ ہمیشہ بڑے خلوص اورمحبت سے پیش آتے تھے۔تقسیم ہند کے...
Islamic Philosophy of the Rights of Non-Muslims Minorties: An Analysis in Qur’ᾱnic Perspective Islam is complete code of life for entire humankind. According to the Holy Quran all human beings have been created from a single person (Adam). By birth all are equal and have all fundamental rights irrespective of their religion. If a group is numerically inferior to the rest of the population of state in a non-dominant position, will not be considered minority according to Quran. Quran classify people into two different categories: believers and non-believers on the base of their belief instead of numerical value. Minorities enjoy all fundamental rights and freedoms in Islamic territory. This article demonstrates in the light of Quran that Islam does not discriminate between Muslims and non-Muslims in the matter of rights and will clarify the objection of western propaganda that Islam is rigid for non-believers. There are different types of Non-Muslims living in Islamic state as minority. According to Quran, concept of minority is unique, minority does not mean inferior in number. This paper will reveal the types of minorities and their specific rights along with their basic rights too. It has been concluded that Islam is only religion which offers basic human rights at the level of equality irrespective their religion.
Background: The shoulder is a complex, multi-joint structure in the human body. It plays a significant role in activities of self-care, work and leisure. Dysfunction and pain in this region can greatly impact a person’s daily life. Within the broad complaint of shoulder pain, rotator cuff disease (RCD) is the most common condition. RCD can cause extensive disruption of physical activity, but also affects mental health and social participation. RCD consists of tendinopathy of one or more of the muscles of the rotator cuff, partial-thickness tears (PTT), or full-thickness tears (FTT) of the rotator cuff tendons. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of low level laser therapy (LLLT) and routine physical therapy (RPT) on pain intensity, shoulder range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, quality of life, functional disability, supraspinatus tendon thickness and tear thickness in patients with partial tear of supraspinatus tendon. Materials and Methods: 72 patients with confirmed diagnosis of partial tear of supraspinatus tendon through musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) were randomly allocated into two groups by using a computer generated random sequence table with 36 patients in the experimental group (LLLT+RPT) and 36 patients in the control group (RPT alone). Baseline assessment for pain intensity, shoulder ROM, muscle strength, quality of life, functional disability, supraspinatus tendon thickness and tendon tear thickness were recorded using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Universal Goniometer (UG), Oxford Scale for Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), EQ-5D, Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), and MSKUS respectively, before treatment. All the patients received 18 treatment sessions over a period of 6 weeks (3 sessions per week) and 12 further sessions from 6weeks to 12 weeks follow up (2 sessions per week). At the end of six weeks and 12 weeks, all the outcome measures were assessed again. Results: Repeated Measure Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed within groups, significant differences in the mean improvement in all outcome measures in experimental group both at 6 and 12 weeks follow-up. Significant differences were also found in control group for the mean improvement in all outcome measures except non-significant in tendon thickness, tear thickness and supraspinatus strength at 6 weeks whereas significant differences were found in control group for the mean improvement in all outcome measures except non-significant in tendon thickness, tear thickness, supraspinatus strength and deltoid strength at 12 weeks follow-up. An independent t-test revealed between two groups, at 6 weeks, significant differences were found for the mean improvement in tendon thickness, VAS, ROM, QOL and DASH except nonsignificant for tear thickness, supraspinatus strength and deltoid strength, whereas, at 12 weeks, significant differences were found in mean improvement for all outcome measures. However, there was more improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The findings of the present study revealed that RPT with and without LLLT was equally effective for all outcome measures for both groups except tendon thickness, tear thickness, supraspinatus strength and deltoid strength for control group in patients with partial tear of supraspinatus tendon.
