شعر و ادب کو پروان چڑھانے میں ادبی شخصیتوں کا اپنا مقام و مرتبہ ہے یہ کیسے ہو سکتا تھا کہ رسائل و جرائد اور اخبارات ان سے پیچھے رہتے خطہ سیالکوٹ کے مقامی رسائل و جرائد اور اخبارات ادب کی ترقی کے لیے ماضی سے اہم خدمات سر انجام دیتے چلے آرہے ہیں۔ان میں ’’نوائے سماج‘‘،’’ندائے سیالکوٹ‘‘،’’ہمدرد پاکستان‘‘ ،’’محنت کش‘‘ اور ’’شبنم‘‘ اہم رسائل و جرائد میں شمار ہوتے ہیں۔ان رسائل و جرائد اور اخبارات کے باقاعدہ ادبی ایڈیشن بھی شائع ہوتے رہے ہیں۔
سیالکوٹ کے اخبارات کی موجودہ صف میں ’’صدائے شہر‘‘ ،’’نوائے شمال‘‘ اور ’’اخبار سیالکوٹ‘‘ نمایاں اخبارات ہیں۔رسائل و جرائد کی فہرست میں ’’مرے کالج میگزین ‘‘،’’مفکر‘‘،’’کاوش‘‘، ’’افق‘‘،’’محورِحیات ‘‘، ’’اقدار‘‘، ’’ادراک‘‘، ’’انتخاب‘‘، ’’کیہان‘‘، ’’یدبیضا‘‘، ’’گجر‘‘، ’’کرائیڈن‘‘، اور’’سٹی میگ‘‘آج بھی ادبی خدمات میں اہم کردار ادا کر رہے ہیں۔
’’گجر‘‘ ،’’انتخاب‘‘،’’ید بیضا‘‘ تاب اسلم کے شعور و فکر کا نچوڑ ہیں ان تینوں رسائل وجرائد کو تاب اسلم بڑی عرق ریزی سے ادبی دنیا کے سامنے پیش کرتے رہے ہیں۔ان ادبی رسائل نے بہت سے نئے لکھنے والوں کی راہنمائی کا فریضہ سر انجام دیا ہے۔تاب اسلم کے ان جرائد کو نہ صرف سیالکوٹ بلکہ برصغیر پاک و ہند کے نامور ادبا و شعرا ،ناقدین اور محققین کا قلمی تعاون حاصل رہا۔سیالکوٹ کے اہم ادبی رسائل و جرائد کے تعارف کے لیے تفصیل پیش کی جاتی ہے۔

Sirah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ is the topic on which a lot of work has been done both in the Muslim and non-Muslim world. For Muslims it was the source of aspiration and adaptation for the practical purposes of social life while for the non-Muslims it was the source of inquisitiveness and understanding Islam as a successful religion in the past and present time. Therefore, Muslim enthusiastic interest in the biography of the Holy Prophet ﷺ developed and evolved into a regular science while the west has modified the knowledge of biography according to their own order of preference but within the same biographic precedents. Both have tried to reconstruct the biography of the Holy Prophet ﷺ historically, chronologically and logically.
Clinton Bennett is one of the western scholars who has contributed not only in the Islamic literature but also the biographic field. His work consists of numerous issues in Islam. Whatever he has learned from Islam and the Sirah of Holy Prophet and thus concluded in the form of his own thoughts, he has expressed most of them in his famous five books for example ‘In Search of Muhammad’, ‘Muslims and Modernity’, ‘Studying Islam’, ‘Interpreting the Qur’an’, and ‘Victorian Images of Islam’ (doctoral thesis)’.
This study focuses on Clinton Bennett’s work on Sirah specifically with his broader view of the subject. This research is descriptive and analytical in nature and presents a detailed analysis of the work it is based upon.
Maslov’s method has been used to derive high frequency field expression for differ- ent focusing systems. Derived high frequency field expression is valid around the focal region of focusing systems. Both reflection and transmission based focusing geometries are considered for discussion. Three dimensional Cassegrain and Gregorian systems are considered reflection problems. Hyperbolic lens, hyperboliodal lens, plano-convex lens, inhomogeneous slab and its three dimensional version, that is Wood lens are con- sidered as transmission problems. It is assumed that each focusing system is placed in isotropic, homogeneous medium and observed their focused field around the focal region. Next it is consider that transmitted fields from inhomogeneous slab, Wood lens and plano-convex lens are focused into negative uniaxial crystal. The numerical results for focused fields inside negative uniaxial crystal with several different orientations of the optical axis in the plane of incidence are obtained. Maslov’s method is a systematic procedure for predicting the field in the caus- tic region. It combines the simplicity of ray theory and generality of the transform method and provides remedy of geometrical optics which fails at caustic. Geomet- rical optics field may be recovered from the high frequency field expression, derived using Maslov’s method, for observation points away from the caustic. Field patterns obtained using Malov’s method are compared with those obtained using equivalent current distribution method, Huygens Krichhoff’s integral, and Debye Wolf focusing integral and comparisons are found to be in good agreement.
