آہ! ڈاکٹر محمد اسحاق جم خانہ والا مرحوم
انجمن اسلام ممبئی کے صدر ڈاکٹر محمد اسحاق جم خانہ والا عین شعبان و رمضان کے قرآن کے سایے میں اپنے رب کی رحمتوں سے جاملے، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
ہندوستان میں جن چند اداروں کو مسلمانوں نے اپنے زوروزر سے قائم کیا اور جنہوں نے ترقی اور کامیابی کے سفر میں مسلسل نئی منزلیں طے کیں ان میں ایک نہایت نمایاں نام ممبئی کی انجمن اسلام کا ہے، قریباً یہی بات ڈاکٹر محمد اسحاق جم خانہ والا کے متعلق بھی صادق آتی ہے، جن کی کتاب زندگی کے بعض ابواب کی سرخیاں طب اور سیاست سے روشن ہیں، خلق خدا کی خدمت میں انہوں نے ایک حاذق اور شفیق معالج کی حیثیت سے شہرت پائی، سیاست میں بھی ایک حازم اور خلیق وزیر کی شکل میں ان کی شناخت ہوئی لیکن ان کی اصل خدمت ، تعلیم کے میدان میں ممبئی ہی نہیں پورے مہاراشٹر کے مسلمانوں کے سامنے انجمن اسلام کی کارکردگی کو کارنامے میں بدلنا ہے۔
انجمن اسلام جب ۱۸۷۴ء میں قائم ہوئی تھی تو اس کے بانیویں خصوصاً اس کے پہلے صدر بدرالدین طیب جی کے سامنے یہ اذیت ناک سچائی تھی کہ ممبئی اور پونا کے اعلا تعلیمی اداروں اور مہاراشٹر کے ہائی اسکولوں میں مسلمانوں کی تعداد صفر کے برابر تھی، ۱۸۸۰ء میں ممبئی یونیورسٹی کے میٹرک میں پاس ہونے والے طلبہ کی تعداد ۱۵,۲۴۷ تھی جن میں مسلمان صرف ۴۸ تھے، انجمن اسلام کے قیام نے اس صورت حال کو کتنا بدلا، یہاں اس کی تفصیل کی ضرورت نہیں لیکن اس کی قریب سوسال کی تاریخ میں بدرالدین طیب جی کے بعد متعدد نامور ہستیوں نے اس کی ذمہ داری لی، ان سب میں نسبتاً سب سے کم عمر ڈاکٹر محمد اسحاق مرحوم جب ۱۹۸۳ء میں اس انجمن میں آئے تو...
Temporary pools are relatively small water bodies with limited resources and are seasonally available. These freshwater bodies are rich source of microbial and planktonic lifeObjective: This survey was conducted to find out the presence of rotifers in temporary pools formed inJallo Park established in 1978 and explore their density and diversityMethods: Sample collection was done from ten pools with the help of a planktonic mesh. The counting was performed with a Sedgwick- Rafter chamber. Diversity indices like Shannon Weaver index etc. Were applied Results: In present study 27 rotifer species belonging to 14 genera were identified. The highest diversity and density was shown by Brachionus and Lecane. There was even distribution in each pool. Results of ANOVA showed statistically significant difference in population density and diversityConclusions: This study has presented a guideline to find out rotifer diversity which could be present in any water reservoir like temporary pool.
The role of emotional intelligence in various domains has been supported through scientific studies and contemporary psychologists are working to promote this concept for better quality of life (Geher & Renstrom, 2004). The main objectives of the present research were to develop an indigenous self-report measure of the trait emotional intelligence, and to see its relationship with marital quality. The objectives of the research were achieved in four independent studies. The Scale of Emotional Intelligence ((SEI) was based on Bar-on model of social emotional intelligence (1997, 2000). In study 1 pool of 155 items was generated and 72 items were selected for factor analysis. The factorial validity of the scale was determined on a sample of 1547 individuals (857 males & 690 females) belonging to different cities of Pakistan. The 72 items were subjected to principal component analysis using varimax rotation method. The eigen values and scree plot provided evidence for the factor solution. A total of 56 items defining factors (viz., interpersonal skill, self-regard, assertiveness, emotional self-awareness, empathy, impulse control, flexibility, problem solving, stress tolerance, and optimism), that collectively accounted for 62.7% of variance were selected. The reliability estimate of alpha coefficient (α = .95), and item-total correlations ranging from (r = .139 to r = .79) supported the high internal consistency of the Scale of Emotional Intelligence. The present study also assessed the gender and age differences on the trait emotional intelligence and significant differences were found for gender and 5 age groups. Average gender based age norms were also developed. Convergent validity of the Scale of Emotional Intelligence was determined in study 2 by estimating correlation between SEI scores and Bar-On EQ-i scores and significantpositive correlation (r = .686, p< .01) was found. The convergent validity was further supplemented by correlating scores on SEI with peer rating and significant positive correlation (r = .631, p < .01) was found. The discriminant validity of the scale was determined in study 3 by finding correlation between scores on the Scale of Emotional Intelligence and Beck Depression Inventory (1993) for 30 diagnosed patients of depression and significant moderate negative correlation (r = -.50, p < .01) was yielded. In another independent study, the role of emotional intelligence as a predictor of marital quality was examined on a sample of 170 married partners. Marital quality was measured with Marital Relationship Questionnaire based on Burgess - Cottrell Marriage Adjustment Schedule (1936) and Conflict Resolution Questionnaire by McClellan (1993). Emotional intelligence explained significant amount of variance for marital relationship and conflict resolution (i.e., R2 = .485, F = 158.450, p < .000; & R2 = .558. F = 211.729, p < .000) consecutively. As role of factors of emotional intelligence concerned; assertiveness, empathy, interpersonal skill, optimism, stress tolerance, and impulse control appeared as salient predictors of marital quality. The results uphold SEI as a promising indigenous psychometric measure for emotional intelligence
