سیالکوٹ میں اردو شاعری کا ارتقاء(۱۹۴۷ ء تا۲۰۱۰)
سیالکوٹ ایک تاریخی اور ادبی خطہ رہا ہے۔ اس کی تاریخ پانچ ہزار سال پر محیط ہے ۔یہ خطہ جغرافیائی لحاظ سے اس مقام پر واقع ہے جہاں کئی آبی گذرگاہیں ہیں۔ کشمیر اور پنجاب کے دیگر تجارتی شہروں سے اس کا قریبی رابطہ ہے۔ سیالکوٹ تاریخی، ثقافتی، سماجی، تہذیبی، علمی اور ادبی لحاظ سے لاہور اور دوسرے ادبی، ثقافتی، تہذیبی، تاریخی اور علمی شہروں سے کسی طور پر بھی کم نہیں ۔ اس شہر کی ثقافت توانائی اور رنگا رنگی لیے ہوئے ہے۔ یہاں کے میلے ٹھیلے، روایتی تہوار اور دیگر ثقافتی سرگرمیاں اس خطے کو ہمیشہ ممتاز کرتی رہی ہیں۔
سیالکوٹ کو اقبال و فیض کے مولد ہونے کا لا زوال فخر حاصل ہے۔ یہ ایک صنعتی شہر ہے۔ اس کی آبادی تقریباً تیس لاکھ سے زیادہ نفوس پر مشتمل ہے سر زمین سیالکوٹ صدیوں کی انسانی تہذیب و تمدن اور ادب و ثقافت کا عظیم الشان گہوارہ ہے ۔ اس دھرتی کے تاریخی آثار مدت سے مورخین و ماہرین آثار قدیمہ کی دلچسپی کا سامان بھی رہے ہیں ۔ یہاں کی تہذیب ٹیکسلا اور موہنجو ڈارو کی تہذیبوں کے ہم پلہ ہے۔
سیالکوٹ کی مٹی بڑی زرخیز اور مردم خیز ہے ۔سرزمین سیالکوٹ نے علم و ادب اور فنون لطیفہ کے میدانوں میں گراں قدر خدمات سرانجام دی ہیں۔ اس خطے کے باشندوں نے پاکستان کی صنعتی و اقتصادی ترقی کے ساتھ ساتھ علم و فن کی خدمت بھی جاری رکھی ۔ ماضی میں ملا کمال کشمیری ، ملا عبدالحکیم سیالکوٹی، امین حزیں سیالکوٹی ، اثر صہبائی، مرزا ریاض اور غلام الثقلین نقوی نے علمی وادبی حوالے سے سیالکوٹ کا نام روشن کیا۔ مولوی میر حسن ، مولوی ابراہیم میر، ڈاکٹر جمشید راٹھور اور یوسف سلیم چشتی نے علم کی پیاس بجھائی۔...
am offers a complete code of life. It covers all aspects of human life.
Literature, Art and Aesthetics are all a very crucial part of man's life.
Quran and Hadith have had a revitalizing impact on literature. Besides
being the core source of 'the guidance', they are nonetheless significant
literary pieces. Our Holy Prophet (PBUH) himself devoted special focus on
the development and promotion of various genres of prose like
letter-writing, oratory, proverbs, etc. However, poets have been
condemned in the Quran. Our Holy Prophet himself has kept a distance
from poetry. So interestingly poetry has become a rather controversial
literary genre among Muslims.
Therefore in this article we make an effort to see the real Islamic
perspective regarding poetry and poei in light of its original and primary
sources Quran and Hadith
Present research work is based on Ethnobotanical and nutraceutical investigation of wild edible fruits and vegetables of Lesser Himalayas, Pakistan. Ethnobotanical information was obtained through informed consent semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, market survey and focus group conversation from five major survey sites: Haripur, Abbottabad, Mansehra districts, Margalla Hills Islamabad and Murree. The plant samples were analysed for nutritional components (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fibers, ash and energy vale), selected metals (Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Pb, Sr and Zn), phytochemical constituents (phenolics, flavonoids, flavonols and ascorbic acid) and antioxidant activity (DPPH scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, Ferrous ion chelating activity, ferric ion reducing antioxidant power, Phosomolybdenum complex assay) by using standard analytical methods. A total of 80 wild edible plant species including 35 fruits (21 genera and 17 families) and 45 vegetables (38 genera and 24 families) were investigated in this study. About (57%) species of wild fruits were trees, followed by shrubs (34%), climbers (6%) and herbs (3%), whereas in the case of the vegetables herbs were dominating (89%), followed by trees (9%) and shrubs (2%). Inhabitant of the area used 50 medications based on wild edible fruits and 51 recipes based on wild edible vegetables to cure various ailments. Among wild fruit species 97% species are used as fodder; 86% as fuel; 74% in making tools handles and furniture; 86% in sheltering; 77% in fencing and as hedge plant and 80% for miscellaneous purpose. In case of vegetables 95% species are used as fodder; 9% as fuel; 4% in making tools handles/furniture and 7% each in sheltering; fencing and for miscellaneous purpose. Moraceae and Papilionoideae were most quoted botanical families of wild fruits and vegetables. Morus nigra showed highest mean culture importance values (mCI) within top ten fruit plants, followed by Morus alba, Olea ferruginea, Berberis lycium, Pyrus pashia, Ficus carica, Ficus palmata, Ziziphus mauritiana, Diospyros lotus and Ziziphus nummularia, whereas in the case of wild edible vegetables Ficus carica was most cited species, followed by Ficus palmata, Bauhinia variegata, Solanum nigrum, Amaranthus viridis, Medicago polymorpha, Chenopodium album, Cichorium intybus, Amaranthus hybridus and Vicia faba. Among the fruits, Juglans regia, Opuntia dillenii, Ziziphus nummularia, Berberis lycium, Pistacia integerrima, & Phoenix dactylifera and in wild vegetables Cichorium xxviiiintybus, Launaea procumbens, Tulipa stellata Dyropteris ramosa, Sonchus oleraceous & Lathyrus aphaca showed highest nutritional potential. Elemental analysis (mg/kg, dry weight) indicated that K exhibited highest average levels, followed by Ca, Mg, Na, Fe and Mn while lowest levels were observed for Li, Cd and Cr in the fruit and vegetable samples, which were also found rich in phytochemical contents and had good antioxidant activities. Significantly higher phenolics, flavonoids, flavonols, ascorbic acid contents and antioxidant activities were observed in Phoenix dactylifera, Juglans regia, Rosa moshata, Pistacia integerrima, Morus nigra and Pyrus pashia among the fruits, whereas among the vegetables, Origanum vulgare, Amaranthus viridis, Ficus palmata, Silene conoidea, Melilotus indicus and Bauhinia variegata showed highest potential. Mostly random and broad distribution of the nutrient, selected metals and phytochemical contents was found in the fruits and vegetables. Correlation study showed random variation of the nutrient, metals and phytochemicals in the plant samples. Antioxidant activities revealed significant correlation with most of the phytochemical contents. Correlations among the metal levels, phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity in the fruits and vegetables were also investigated. Various groups of the fruits and vegetables were identified by cluster analysis (CA) based on their chemical composition. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed significant anthropogenic contamination of the selected metals in the fruits and vegetables mostly contributed by transportation activities, industrial emissions and domestic waste. Most of the wild edible plant species in the study areas have no protection, but acquisition of economic benefits such as genetic improvement of existing crops from their wild ancestors and nutritional requirement from these wild edibles might promote local people’s interest in the conservation and maintenance of these important and threatened species. Further exploration is still required to investigate useful and toxic compounds, pharmacological study; skill training in home gardening, biotechnological techniques to improve yields and income generation through large scale promotion of these wild edible fruits and vegetables.
