7. Al-A’raf /The Elevated
I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah
The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

This Book - The Qur’an - is being sent down on to you O The Prophet.
So let there be no distress in your heart due to this.
While you are to warn the disbelieving audience through it,
this is a Reminder to the believers.
07:03
O The People!
Follow what is being sent down on to you by your Rabb - The Lord, and
do not follow the whims of others or take others for worship apart from HIM.
Yet little you understand and follow.
07:04
And how many of habitations have WE destroyed before!
So it happened that OUR Punishment came upon them suddenly - either by the night or
while they were in the midst of their noon-nap.
07:05
And when OUR Punishment finally overtook them, they had nothing to say, except crying out:
‘We have indeed been unfair’ to ourselves by sinning!
07:06
It will be during the Time of the Final Judgment that WE will certainly question those to whom WE had assigned OUR Messengers if they followed their teachings, and
WE will also question the Messengers if they had conveyed OUR Message and how did the people respond to it.
07:07
WE will definitely recount their deeds and dealings to them with knowledge and accuracy,
for WE were never absent from their midst!
07:08
And at The Time of the Final Judgment, the weighing of their deeds and dealings will be
fair and just.
Then whose deeds of righteousness will be heavier than their bad deeds on the scales,
those –...
The obeisance of Holy Prophet (S. A. W) is the path of forgiveness and essential component of faith. Therefore, the series of preservations of, (RA) Sahabah by continued is (صلى الله عليه وسلم) Prophet Holy of actions and sayings the followers of Ṣaḥābah and Scholars of the Ummah. For worldly and eternal saving, disciplined efforts were carried out in order to preserve this series. This methodology of preservation with extreme care and technique is exemplary. The process for collection of Hadith was initiated and shaped into books and volumes. It is due to the dignified status of Hadith that Allah created such individuals who preserved the sayings of Holy Prophet (ﷺ) with religious fervor, zeal, honesty and great care. In this article meaningful analysis has been given for such important terminologies which convey technically internal characteristics of the series of books and are a great source of literary beauty. In this connection, terminologies and their meanings represent reflection of each other. The basis of these terminologies is not only on estimated ideas but on the literary and intellectual facts. These are not only according to the time and age but also historical and geographical according to the need of hour and circumstances. From Muḥaddithīn’s point of view, these collections have certain benefits and purposes due to which they kept naming them. The brief, simple and understandable words of terminologies are common; however, their purpose is not common. It is distinguished and extra ordinary. The words used in terminologies are not special but purpose is not to express application. Their contextual meaning is taken under consideration instead of the literal one.
Leather industry is one of the leading industries in Pakistan. However, environmental management for this industry is generally ignored. Chromium (Cr) is a heavy metal used for tanning of leather and discharged into soil through waste water. It is toxic to plants and animals even at low concentration and causes human health hazards through food chain. Organic amendments such as compost and biochar are alternatives to expensive and could lower the pollutant associated risk. Elemental sulfur (ES) as inorganic amendments could alter the Cr dynamics and lowered the toxicity by adsorption on biochar surfaces. A survey of tannery area of District Kasur (K) and Sialkot (S) was conducted to check the Cr toxicity level in different location and soil was collected. The present research project was planned with four independent experiments focusing on major issues: (i) Evaluation of feedstock and pyrolytic temperature for biochar production on the basis of maximum adsorption of Cr (ii) Effect of biochar on different maize cultivars grown in tannery polluted soil (iii) Impact of biochar with compost on Cr tolerance in maize cultivars (iv) Effect of biochar with elemental sulfur on Cr dynamics in soil to reduce uptake in maize. In evaluation of biochar, sugarcane bagasse (SB) prepared at 350oC applied at rate of 3% maximum adsorb the Cr and improved the soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), cation exchange capacity (CEC) and organic carbon (OC). After development of best adsorbent biochar, it was further evaluated on different maize cultivars grown in tannery polluted soil. Biochar application in both K and S soil were significantly improved the plant growth, physiological and biochemical attributes and decreased the concentration of Cr (VI) and Cr (III) in maize cultivars. Cultivar P-1543 performed better followed by NK-8441, NK-8711 and FH-985 in both K and S soils. Furthermore, biochar was evaluated with compost (1:1) on Cr tolerance in maize cultivars (P-1543 and NK-8441) grown in tannery polluted soil. It was observed that combined application of biochar and compost showed better results than their sole application. In comparison of both soil, Cr toxicity were more effected the maize growth in Sialkot soil. In the last trial, more polluted Sialkot soil was ameliorated. Biochar was compared with ES on Cr dynamics in tannery polluted K and S soil. It was observed that biochar application with ES improved the maize growth by reduced the toxicity of Cr in K as well S Soil. Conclusively, biochar (SB-350oC) application at rate of 3% was effective in amelioration of tannery polluted soil and combine application of biochar with compost and ES were better improved the maize growth.
