توریہ کی حقیقت، ضرورت اور اس کا حکم: ایک تحقیقی جائزہ

Islam is a religion of peace, love and prosperity. It emphasis on moral values and strongly forbids from immoral acts. Commitment to the former is ultimate way to the paradise, while the latter leads to Hell, which is an abode, where deviants from the righteousness are punished for their misdeeds. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) showed the importance of morality through the deeds and actions. “Ta┴riyā” is an act which is a part of morality. It is an act which escapes a human being from telling a lies strongly forbidden in Islam, being a root cause of manly social avoid. Usually“Ta┴riyā” is adopted so as to avoid differences and turmoil on a group of individuals. By“Ta┴riyā” means speaking a statement which is equivoques i.e. At the same it gives too meaning apparent and the hidden. Now the question arises whether “Ta┴riyā” is considered as lie or truth. It cannot be termed either lie or truth. However, in many traditions, it has been negated as a lie. At some occasions, when a person feels to tell a lie, for the sake of bringing peace, then it is advised than he should bring on use the act of “Ta┴riyā” but. The reality manipulated be in such a way so it could be termed as lie.

Precision Irrigation for Improving Water Use Efficiency Using Indigenized Sensor Based Irriagion Scheduling and Efficient Irriagion Techniques

Real time sensors based precision irrigation scheduling has potential to improve water productivity. Field experiments were carried out for two subsequent years (2017 and 2018) for producing maize and wheat crops at the Water Management Research Center (WMRC), Postgraduate Agricultural Research Station (PARS), University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (UAF). Field irrigation systems included flood irrigation (canvas pipe), perforated pipe irrigation and drip irrigation under different planting geometries. The design, development and manufacturing of sensor-based irrigation systems using locally available material were performed to minimize the cost of equipment development and energy consumption for crop irrigation. A solar powered tube well of half cusec discharge was used for pumping water for irrigating the experimental fields. The fertigation unit was used with electricity operated submersible pump at the experimental site. Maize crop had seven treatments viz; T1-flood irrigation conventional ridge sowing (0.762 m row to row spacing), T2-flood irrigation furrow bed planting (0.457 m row to row spacing), T3perforated pipe irrigation with 0.254 m furrow width (0.432 m row to row spacing), T4- perforated pipe irrigation with 0.203 m furrow width (0.406 m row to row spacing), T5perforated pipe irrigation with 0.152 m furrow width (0.381 m row to row spacing), T6drip irrigation with 0.914 m lateral spacing (0.457 m row to row spacing) and T7-drip irrigation with 1.219 m lateral spacing (0.609 m row to row spacing). Similarly, wheat crop had also seven treatments viz; T1-flood irrigation flat sowing by rabi-drill, T2-flood irrigation bed furrow planting with 0.254 m furrow, T3-perforated pipe irrigation bed furrow planting with 0.254 m furrow, T4-perforated pipe irrigation bed furrow planting with 0.203 m furrow, T5-perforated pipe irrigation bed furrow planting with 0.152 m furrow, T6-drip irrigation flat with 0.914 m lateral spacing and T7-drip irrigation on beds with 0.914 m lateral spacing. The flood irrigation system (treatments T1 and T2) took more time to fill the field and resulted in significantly lowest water productivities of maize 9.2-9.72 (grain yield kg/ha/mm irrigation depth) and of wheat 9.6-10.30 (grain yield kg/ha/mm irrigation depth). The perforated irrigation system (treatments T3, T4 and T5) produced intermediate values of water productivities for maize 16.38-17.3 (grain yield kg/ha/mm irrigation depth) and for wheat 12.30-12.66. The drip irrigation system (treatments T6 and T7) resulted in significantly greatest water productivity values of 19.219.55 for maize crop and 14.20-14.30 for wheat crop. xlii Indigenized soil moisture sensors using copper, brass and steel materials of single probe (Type-I length: 152.4 mm, 304.8 mm), two probes (Type-II length: 152.4 mm, 304.8 mm) and Type-III length (152.4 mm, 304.8 mm) were developed, fabricated, calibrated and validated using Gravimetric Method and tested in field. The developed sensors sent soil moisture signals on cloud for data storage, reuse and sharing purpose using coding. Arduino Mega was coupled with laptop through USB cable and sensors responses shown on Arduino sketch 1.8.5 in serial monitor. Arduino Mega was coupled with Arduino Ethernet Shield for transformation of soil moisture data on cloud. The irrigation was applied based on soil moisture status. The system based on micro-controller was tested for irrigating Maize and Wheat crops. Raspberry Pi-3 (Model B) controlled hardware in distribution box (DB) made promising use of indigenized soil moisture sensors (Type-I, Type-II and Type-III) for calibration and irrigation water management. The Linear calibration for indigenized steel wired double probe soil moisture sensors (152.4 mm, 304.8 mm) was made. The costs incurred for developing Type-I, Type-II and Type-III soil moisture sensors were PKR 800, 1650 and 250, respectively. The WinSRFR model was used to determine water application efficiency as a function of each plot‟s irrigations with respect to experimental field length under sandy loam soil. For the crops grown during 1st year (2016-17), the model resulted in application efficiencies of maize as 44%, 41%, 63%, 67%, and 69% for treatments T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively. Similarly the model predicted application efficiencies of wheat as 55%, 64%, 61%, 66% and 75% under treatments T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively. These application efficiency improved in the 2nd year crops under the indigenized soil moisture sensors based precision irrigation scheduling. The drip irrigation treatments (T6 and T7) had significantly improved water application time saving values (65.26% and 61.38%), perforated pipe irrigation treatments (T3, T4 and T5) had intermediate values of water application time saving (15.52%, 12.76% and 10.07%) as compared to T1-conventional ridge sowing (canvas pipe/flood irrigation).

The drip irrigation treatments (T6, T7) for wheat sowing had significantly better water application time saving values (44.82%, 37.42%), perforated pipe irrigation treatments (T3, T4 and T5) had intermediate values of water application time saving (27.73%, 23.33% and 17.72%) as compared to T1-flat sowing by rabi drill (canvas pipe/flood irrigation). Similarly, drip irrigation treatments (T6, T7) had significantly highest water application time saving values (40.81%, 32.87%), perforated treatments (T3, T4 and T5) had intermediate values of water application time saving (22.47%, 17.75% and 11.74%) as compared to T2-bed furrow planting (canvas pipe/flood irrigation).

Efficient water application in the experimental field for maize and wheat crops increased irrigation efficiency. For maize production, drip irrigation treatments (T6, T7) had significantly improved irrigation efficiency values (86.0%, 86.83%), perforated treatments (T3, T4 and T5) had intermediate values (80.83%, 81.0% and 81.05%) and flood irrigation treatments had significantly lowest values (50.95%, 52.15%). All the treatments had significantly greater irrigation efficiency values during 2nd year maize cropping than those under 1st year maize cropping because of applying soil moisture sensor based irrigations. The drip irrigation treatments (T6, T7) had significantly greatest irrigation efficiency values (87.95%, 88.1%), perforated treatments (T3, T4 and T5) had intermediated values of irrigation efficiency (80.5%, 80.75% and 81.45%) and flood irrigation treatments had significantly lowest irrigation efficiency values (73.25%, 74.4%). Most of the treatments had significantly higher irrigation efficiency values during 2nd year wheat cropping than xliv those under 1st year wheat cropping. Overall treatment mean irrigation efficiency was 80.82% during 1st year and 81.0% during 2nd year. Total cost of production of 1st year maize (2016) for the drip irrigation treatments T6 and T7 was found higher than the perforated pipe irrigation system and flood irrigation system with a margin of PKR 68451 and PKR 68292, respectively. The drip irrigation produced a benefit cost ratio of 3.28 for T6 and 3.20 for T7 treatments. The benefit cost ratio of perforated pipe treatments T3, T4 and T5 were 3.43, 3.41 and 3.26, respectively. Similarly, the benefit cost ratio for flood irrigation treatments T1 and T2 were 2.68 and 2.77, respectively. Total cost of production of 2nd year maize (2017) for the drip irrigation treatments T6 and T7 was found higher than the perforated pipe irrigation system and flood irrigation system with a margin of PKR 74443 and PKR 74281, respectively. The drip irrigation produced a benefit cost ratio of 3.14 for T6 and 3.06 for T7 treatments. The benefit cost ratio for perforated pipe irrigation was 3.33, 3.25 and 3.11 for T3, T4 and T5 treatments, respectively. Similarly, the benefit cost ratio for flood irrigation was 2.58 and 2.68 for T1 and T2, respectively. Total cost of production of 1st year wheat (2016-17) for the drip irrigation treatments T6 and T7 was found higher than the perforated pipe irrigation system and flood irrigation system with a margin of PKR 70726 and PKR 71214, respectively. The drip irrigation produced a benefit cost ratio of 2.81 for T6 and 2.77 for T7 treatments.

Similarly, the benefit cost ratio for flood irrigation was 2.81 and 2.92 for T1 and T2 treatments, respectively. The benefit-cost analysis for drip and perforated pipe irrigation systems showed that the perforated pipe irrigation could be a feasible irrigation method for small scale farmers and drip irrigation system for large farmers. However, keeping in view the benefits of drip irrigation regarding high water use efficiency and yield, it is recommended that it should also be promoted for small farmers by providing proper training for profitable farming." xml:lang="en_US
