سید عبد الرحمن با فقیہ تھنگل
آل انڈیا مسلم لیگ کے صدر سید عبدالرحمن با فقیہ تھنگل مرحوم کی وفات قومی و ملی حادثہ ہے، اور ان کی موت اس لحاظ سے ہر مسلمان کے لیے قابل رشک ہے کہ حج سے فراغت کے بعد وہ سعودی عربیہ کے دارالحکومت ریاض گئے تھے، وہیں ایک مختصر علالت کے بعد انتقال کیا، حرم محترم میں نماز جنازہ پڑھی گئی اور مکہ معظمہ کی سرزمین میں سپرد خاک کیے گئے، اس طرح گناہوں سے پاک و صاف ہوکر لبیک کہتے ہوئے اپنے رب کے حضور میں حاضر ہوگئے۔
خوش حال آنکہ دید ترا و سپرد جان
آگہ نشد کہ ہجر کدام و وصال چیست
تھنگل مرحوم اگر چہ مسلم لیگ کے صدر تھے لیکن ملکی قومی خدمات میں بھی ان کا قدم پیچھے نہ تھا، اس لیے بلا تفریق مذہب و ملت سب ان کو مانتے تھے، اور ان کی موت پر جنوبی ہند کے ہندو مسلمان دونوں نے یکساں ماتم اور ان کی موت کو قومی نقصان تصور کیا، ارض مقدس میں ان کی موت خود مغفرت کا ذریعہ ہے ،اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کے مدارج بلند فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، فروری ۱۹۷۳ء)
Orientalists have always denied the acceptance of the divinity and authenticity of Qur’an. For this purpose, they have presented multifarious objections to prove the Qur’an as a discourse of Muhammad r which he learnt from the Christian monks and derived it from the judeo-Christian sources. They specially mention that Muhammad r was not an illiterate person he was rather a pupil of the monks. In this way, their aim is to prove false the claim of the miraculous (I’jaz) style of the Qur’an. We have proved in this study that according to Quran, Tafaseer and Hadiths of Prophet r, history and logic, that Muhammad r since his birth until his death, was illetrate, did not know how to read or write. In this paper, an effort has been made to examine the Western arguments and deduce the actual position in this matter. The basic and fundamental sources have been used to precede the discussion.
Novel is considered to be one of the most famous genres of Urdu literature. These genres come from West, got popularity and rapidly made progress. Due to comprehensiveness of topics and diversity in styles in the twentieth century, many aspects of thought and art emerged and surfaced. Urdu novel has a vast canvas. It deals with all aspects of life like political, social, psychological, romantic and historical. It also discusses the individual aswell as social aspect of life. In short nothing is outside the ambit of this genre. Amongst all these aspects, the most important is historical aspect. History is the most precious asset of any nation. In a novel, the importance of characters can''t be underestimated but the importance of a hero is so much conspicuous that he stands prominent like a moon amongst the stars or like a pearl in the heap of stones. Hero is the central character of any novel but in historical novels, his importance becomes manifold. Along the historical events, the presentation of historical characters is also very important. No one can deny the importance of secondary and flat characters, but the importance of a hero is worth-maintaining. Different treaties on the topics of novel-writing, its art and different styles have written in University of this genre have helped illuminate deferent hidden aspects. However, the role of a hero in historical novels, his merits and demerits, judging and evaluating different aspects of his personality also constitutes important topics. But in the historical novels of Urdu , on the topics of the role of hero, his critical and competence , evolution, no worth-maintaining research has been made, so for on this topic no thorough, comprehensive, in-depth research has been carried out. Realizing this lack of research on this topic, I decided to choose this topic. It is also a fact that important personalities attached to historical events are later on presented in stories. While casting them in stories, this work is to be done with great insight and care. That is the reason that as compared with other heroes of the novels, for the making of a hero of a historical novel, all capabilities and abilities are to be collected and mustered.
