مولانا رشید احمد صاحب سالم انصاری
ماہ گزشتہ کا سب سے بڑا علمی حادثہ جناب مولانا رشید احمد صاحب سالم انصاری کی وفات ہے، مرحوم نے تقریباً بیس پچیس برس مسلسل ہماری زبان کی خدمت کی۔ عربی و فارسی کے وہ لائق ادیب تھے، ان کا علمی شوق و ذوق فطری تھا۔ ان کی زندگی کا اکثر حصہ مطالعہ اور کتب بینی میں صرف ہوتا تھا، قلمی کتابوں کی تلاش اور جستجو میں انہوں نے ہندوستان کا گوشہ گوشہ چھان ڈالا تھا۔ آخر میں ذی الحجہ ۱۳۴۰ھ میں جب علی گڑھ میں خاکسار اُن سے ملنے گیا تو ان کو بستر مرگ پر پایا اور یہی ان کا مرض الموت تھا، اس عالم میں بھی جتنی دیر ان کے پاس بیٹھنے کا اتفاق ہوا وہ علمی تذکرے کرتے رہے اور جہانگیر نامہ کے ایک قلمی نسخہ کو بڑی محنت سے ترتیب دیا تھا، اس کی اشاعت کا تذکرہ کرتے رہے۔ اردو مترجمات میں المدینۃ والاسلام، النصرانیۃ والاسلام، کتاب التوحید، الفوز الکبیر، وغیرہ مفید تالیفات یادگار چھوڑی ہیں، ترک موالات کے سلسلہ میں مرحوم علی گڑھ کالج چھوڑ کر جامعہ ملیہ میں چلے آئے تھے اور یہیں سے رخصت ہوئے، خدا مغفرت ارزائی فرمائے۔
The Muslims of today are overwhelmed and subjugated all over the world due to the bad intensions of colonizers. They are now called the oppressed people in the world. Especially the Muslims of Palestine are the main target of these colonialists, as Palestine is the controversial issue between the Muslims, Christians and Jews. It is the holy and sacred place for all of them. The Jews consider this place as their birthright and also due to their political and social self-interests they always tried to get their hold there by the oppression of Palestinian Muslims. The illegal Israeli (jews) state in Jerusalem is constantly oppressing the Muslims of Palestine. Due to this oppression these Palestinian Muslims are also called the oppressed people in the world. Today this problem of oppression in Palestine is more surpassing. Israeli (jews) people are persistently killing and forcing the muslims to leave this country. Palestinians are now immigrants and seekinf refuge from different countries but unhappily they are also in trouble and in pathetic condition. They are just helpless and even deprived of their basic rights. Keeping in view this scenario, in this article a brief review is given about the history and the present situation of oppression on Palestinian Muslims
In this study, highly toxic and persistent in nature organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides (Endosulfan and Dimethoate respectively) were used as the agrochemical pollutant, and CeO2-ZnO, CdS, Cu2-xS and NixZn1-xS doped with CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites were individually used to degrade these pesticides. Organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticides are the most commonly used pesticides in agriculture. These pesticides are most persistent in nature and remain in soil and food for a long time. CeO2ZnO nanocomposite has the advantage of having a low band gap as compared to only cerium oxide and the doping of metal sulfide further lower the band gap, thus resulting in better optical and photocatalytic properties of nanocomposites. The redox coupling of Ce4+/Ce3+ and formation of oxygen vacancies in cerium oxide play a key role in its photocatalytic activity. In this study, metal sulfide doped CeO2-ZnO nanocomposite show high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of pesticides. CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites are synthesized with the magnetic stirring method and hydrothermal method. The varying pH of CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites during synthesis reaction helped to evaluate the appropriate reaction parameters for synthesis. It was observed that the crystallite size of nanocomposites slightly changes with an increase in pH of the reaction, but the hydrodynamic particle size of nanocomposites was smallest for the nanocomposite prepared at pH 9.FTIR results showed fewer impurities in samples prepared at higher pH. CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites prepared with the hydrothermal method at pH 9 have nano-polyhedral CeO2 structures deposited on spear shape ZnO structures. These CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites were further used for the synthesis of metal sulfide (CdS, Cu2-xS, NixZn1-xS) doped CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites. The doping of CdS, Cu2-xS, NixZn1-xS on CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites was done by using surfactant assisted hydrothermal method. All the metal sulfide doped nanocomposites were prepared by using the same reaction conditions, i.e., time, temperature, dopant concentration and zwitterionic surfactant (SB3-12). Abstract ii | P a g e The properties of all these nanocomposites (CdS, Cu2-x S and NixZn1-xS doped with CeO2ZnO nanocomposite) were evaluated by using different characterization techniques including FTIR, XRD, PL, SEM, TEM, DRS-UV/Vis, and a nanoparticle size analyser. It was found that the concentration of dopant has affected the crystal structure of CeO2-ZnO nanocomposite. The powder XRD results were elaborately studied with the help of Rietveld refinement using software EXPGUI and GSAS to determine the crystal structure and phase analysis of prepared nanocomposites. The further crystal structure studies were done by using VESTA 3 and Diamond 4 software. The powder XRD results show the change in peak position and intensity after the doping of metal sulfides. In CdS doped CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites, the XRD peaks shifted to higher 2θ angle due to changes in lattice structure. A characteristic peak of Cu1.97S was observed at2θ = 37°, in XRD pattern of Cu2-xS doped CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites and a gradual change in intensity at 2θ = 36.2° (101) was observed with change in dopant concentration. Similar change in intensity with variation of dopant concentration was observed in powder XRD patterns of NixZn1-xS doped CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites at 2θ = 31.8o (100). The peak intensity was unusually high and increased as the concentration of dopant precursor was decreased. The incomplete phase detection of dopants was the result of weakly crystallized and highly dispersive nanoparticles deposited on the surface of the base material. The photocatalytic activity results showed that all metal sulfide doped CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites efficiently degraded Endosulfan as compared to Dimethoate. CdS doped CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites showed highest rate 164.9 x 10-3 min-1 for the photodegradation of Endosulfan. Whereas, NixZn1-xS doped CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites showed highest rate 25.5 x 10-3 min-1 for the photocatalytic degradation of Dimethoate pesticide. The number of oxygen vacancies increased in metal sulfide doped nanocomposites which may have been resulted from lattice expansion of CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites, the particle size decreases and catalytic activity increased. The presence of oxygen vacancies was observed in photoluminescence spectra of nanocomposites. The number of oxygen vacancies were calculated from lattice constant of nanocomposites. Abstract iii | P a g e The further work will be done on the metal sulfide doped CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites with different atomic ratios (CexZn1-xO2y) and with different reaction conditions. The hydrothermal synthesis method can be replaced with microwave assisted method to save time. These nanocomposites are unique in their chemical composition and structure. More advanced techniques than conventional powder XRD such as neutron diffraction can be used to evaluate the structural properties of nanocomposites and submit in ICDD database. These nanocomposites can be used for degradation of other pesticides
