تندرستی ہزار نعمت ہے
اللہ تعالیٰ نے بنی نوع انسان کی تخلیق فرمائی تو اس کو بے شمار نعمتوں سے سرفراز فرمایا۔ دیکھنے کے لیے آنکھیں، سننے کے لیے کان، بولنے کے لیے زبان، چکھنے کے لیے قوت ذائقہ، سونگھنے کے لیے قوت، چلنے کے لیے قوت، سوچنے کے لیے قوت، غور وفکر کے لیے قوت یعنی انسان کوقوائے جسمانی کی صورت میں انعاماتِ ربانی وافر مقدار میں میسر آئے۔
قرآنِ پاک میں ارشادِ باری تعالیٰ ہے کہ اگر اللہ تعالیٰ کی نعمتوں کا شمار کرنا چاہو تو تم ان کو گنتی میں نہیں لا سکتے ہو، ان بے شمار نعمتوں کا درود بنی نوع انسان کے لیے ہوا ہے اور انسان وہ ہے جو جسم اور روح کا مرکب ہے اگر انسان صحت مند ہے تو یہ جملہ انعامات ِربانی اس کے لیے نعمت غیر مترقبہ ہیں اور اگر مرد بیمار ہے تو وہ ہر نعمت سے بیگانہ ہے، ہر نعمت اس کے لیے غیر مفید ہے، ہر نعمت اس کے لیے نعمت نہیں بلکہ زحمت ہے، ہر نعمت کا وجود اس کے لیے غیرمحمود ہے۔
انسان گلستانِ سرسبز میں گلہائے رنگارنگ کے حسین و جمیل مناظر سے متمتع ہوسکتا ہے لیکن چشمائے انسانی میں بینائی شرط ہے، انسان کوئل کی مسحور کن آواز سے، قاری قرآن کی تلاوت سے، خطیب ممبر رسول صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی خوش الحانی سے، واعظ شیر یںلسان کی شعلہ بیانی سے کما حقہٗ فائدہ اٹھا سکتا ہے بشرطیکہ قوت سماعت جوبن پر ہو، اعضائے جسمانی کی سا لمیت تکمیل انسانیت کے لیے اہم کردار ادا کرتی ہے۔
صحت مند انسان معاشرے کا اہم رکن ہوتا ہے۔ گھر کے لیے ، خاندان کے لیے اس کا وجودکسی نعمت سے کم نہیں ہوتا، اس کی نشست و برخاست معیاری ہوتی ہے، وہ حسن وزیبائش کا مرقع ہوتا ہے، وہ...
The twentieth century is considered as the most notable era for interfaith dialogue and other interreligious activities among the followers of different faiths across the globe. A number of interfaith activities were launched to bring closer, especially, the adherents of the Abrahamic faiths: Jews, Christians and Muslims. Many Christian institutes and organizations are actively involved in such activities. We cannot ignore the role of Christian Study Centers situated across the globe, which are rendering considerable services in the field of interfaith dialogue. One of them is the Christian Study Center Rawalpindi (CSC), Pakistan, which is the focal subject of this research paper. The CSC has a long journey in the course of interfaith dialogue and harmony, as it was its objective since its commencement. The CSC was established in 1967 as an extension of HMI (Henry Martyn Institute, Hyderabad India) to promote interfaith dialogue, harmony and good relationship among the followers of different faiths in Pakistan. It is conceded; the Christian Study Center Rawalpindi has provided great services and contributed a lot to interfaith dialogue, harmony and peace in Pakistan. In this study the efforts were made to evaluate the 50 years dialogical activities of the Christian Study Center (CSC), Rawalpindi.
Studies were conducted to evaluate the impact of plastic mulches viz. black, clear and bare soil in the modification of plant growing environments on three hot pepper hybrids namely Sky Red, Maha and Wonder King in poly/plastic tunnels during the year 2005-06 and 2006-07. Hot pepper hybrids and plastic mulches had significant effect on plant growth and yield attributes. By using clear plastic mulch intensive weed proliferation was problematic issue; however under black plastic mulch almost complete weed suppression was achieved which results in increased fruit yield than hot peppers grown under clear plastic mulch and bare soil (control). The pattern of antioxidant accumulation was envisaged in hot peppers harvested at different stages; immature green, mature green, color break, red ripe and dried fruit. Capsaicinoids had significant distribution in mature green stage while progressive accretion of carotenoids and ascorbic acid was observed at dried and red ripe stage of all hybrids, respectively. However, the pattern of total phenolic contents biosynthesis was found significant at immature green stage in Sky Red where as in Maha at color break stage and in case of Wonder King at red ripe stage. Aflatoxin contamination in hot pepper hybrids was investigated under various temperatures (20, 25 and 30°C) and packaging regimes (polyethylene and jute bags) during five months storage period. Aflatoxin detection under these conditions had lower levels than the existing regulatory limits ascribed by European Commission (EC No. 1881/2006) that is 10μg kg -1 for total aflatoxins. Aflatoxin contamination and microbial load was increased significantly with the increase in temperature and storage duration which was heavily infested when samples packed in jute bags and stored at 25 and 30°C respectively. Storage duration and temperature regimes had inverse relation on antioxidant quality of hot pepper ecotypes as well. Further attempts were made to decontaminate aflatoxin contaminated samples of hot pepper hybrids (from previous study) subjected to gamma radiation (2, 4 and 6 kGy) and its effect on antioxidant stability was again assessed after three month storage. Higher the irradiation dose, lower the concentration of carotenoids and ascorbic acid ascertained in hot pepper ecotypes; however, capsaicinoids and polyphenols rendered greater stability at higher irradiation dose during storage. Irradiated samples of hot peppers had 7% xireduction in aflatoxin contamination as compared to non-irradiated (control). Total fungal population had inverse relation with increasing radiation dose and complete inhibition was observed when irradiated at 6 kGy and no further fungal proliferation was seen during three months storage at ambient conditions.
