سمندرنیلا اور پر سکون تھا اور دمام کا آسمان بادلوں سے پُر۔ میں بیقراری سے دھوپ کے ایک ٹکڑے کی تلاش میں ہاف مون بیچ کے خوبصورت سبز گھانس کے روش پر اِدھراُدھر گھوم رہاتھا۔کاش! کوئی ایسی پر سکون جگہ مل جائے جہاں پر میں اپنے ناول کے خاتمے پر کام کرسکوں۔

دور مغربی ساحل کے ایک گوشے میں کھجور کے درختوں سے چھن چھن کر آتی سورج کی ریشمی چادر سی تنی نظرآئی۔ میں تیزی سے اس جگہ گیا مگر وہاں پر سیاہ عبایا پہنے ایک نوجوان عورت بے بی اسٹرولر پر جھکی ہوئی لیٹے ہوئے بچے کو دھوپ سنکاتی، مسکراتی ہوئی باتیں کررہی تھی۔کبھی کبھی وہ بے ساختہ ہنس دیتی۔ جیسے اس کے بچے نے کوئی معصوم سی شرارت کی ہو، وہ شاید مصری یا لبنانی ہوگی۔ نہایت گوری، گلابی کالی آنکھوں والی۲۳، ۵۳ سالہ دوشیزہ جوسرخ پھولدار رومال سے سر ڈھانپے ہوئی تھی۔ وہ جس جگہ کھڑی تھی وہ میری اوّلین پسند تھی۔ ہاف مون بیچ سے کچھ دوری پر واقع نہایت ہی پراسرار خاموشی سے گھرا کنارا جہاں خوبصورت سناٹا میرے خیالوں کو مہمیز کرتا۔

 اس نے اچانک پلٹ کر میری طرف دیکھا۔ ایک ادھوری سی مسکراہٹ اس کے ہونٹوں پر تھی……مگر شاید وہ مکمل تھی۔ یہ میرا گمان تھا اور پھر اسٹرولر کو دھکے دیتی آگے بڑھ گئی۔ جیسے کہہ رہی ہو۔ آجاؤ، اپنی مخصوص جگہ مسٹر ادیب۔میں نے اکثر شام کے وقت اسٹرولر پر بچے کو گھماتے ہوئے دیکھاتھا۔ وہ ہمیشہ اکیلی ہوتی اور ساحلِ سمندر کے کنارے پر بنے ہوئے ٹریک پر اِدھر اُدھر گھومتی رہتی۔ بے بی اسٹرولر کے دائیں جانب پانی کی چھوٹی سی رنگین بوتل ہوتی اور دوسری جانب چند کھلونے‘ اوپر کا گلابی حصہ نیچے کی طرف جھکا ہوتا۔اسے...

Islamic Concept of Crime and Punishment: A Critical Appraisal of Robert Spencer’s Views

Islam caters to people’s need for peace and serenity and therefore takes every legal measure to safeguard the society against disruptive elements. A criminal who spoils the tranquility of a peaceful society deserves to be awarded severe punishment but Islam does not deem it logical to execute punishments before eliminating the major causes for commission of crimes. The following research article describes the attitudes of Western critics of Islam--such as Robert Spencer-- towards Islamic penalties namely amputation and stoning to death. It describes Islamic concept of crime and punishment in comparison with Western concepts and attempts to prove that Islam never loses sight of moderation and inflicts no barbarities. The last part of the research article, through crime statistics of United States of America, proves that the they have disastrously failed to curb violent crimes in their society. Hence it is high time that the world recognized the effective role and deterrent value of Islamic punishments for peace and stability.

Floral Diversity of Medicinal Plant Usage Against Some Prevalent Diseases Among the Communities of Northern Pakistan.

This is the first report study on ethnobotanical documentation in Northern Pakistan about the usage of medicinal plants for treatment of prevalent diseases including musculoskeletal disorders, hypertension, skin diseases and glottis disorders. The main aim was to document the indigenous knowledge of the local people about the utilization of medicinal flora. In total of 630 informants were interviewed in order to document comprehensive ethnomedicinal information. Quantitative ethnobotanical indices, i.e., use value (UV), relative frequency of citation (RFC), family Importance value (FIV), fidelity level (FL) and Jaccard index (JI) were calculated for the reported medicinal plants. A total of 498 medicinal plants, 450 genera, belonging to 85 families were documented. For Musculoskeletal disorders, 131 species belonging to 71 families were reported with their traditional medicinal uses. The most dominant life form was herb (69%), decoction was preferred method of utilization (43 species) and leaves were the most used plant part (57 species). The most used family was Asteraceae (11 species). Highest used category was recorded for rheumatism (63 species) and the most used species were Bistorta affinis(D. Don) Green, Colebrookea oppositifolia Sm. and Colchicum luteum Baker. RFC ranged from 0.098 to 0.586, Urtica dioica L. with highest DCI (0.68) and Fabaceae was dominant family in terms of FIV (86.8%). In this study documented data was compared with 25 previous national and international published articles in order to find out some novel plant species in terms of new ethnomedicinal uses. For Hypertension, total of 164 plant species, belonging to 69 were reported. Asteraceae (23 plant species) was dominant family. The most dominant life form reported was herb (58%), preferred method of utilization was decoction (57 species) and the most used plant part was leaves (89 species). Highest FIV was recorded for Lamiaceae (327). The quantitative analysis showed RFC ranged from 0.08-1.08 and DCI from 0.233-0.000. The highest Fidelity level of plants recorded for Bauhinia variegata L. (FL=86.11). In addition to this the documented data was compared with 31 previous national and international published papers in order to obtain some novel ethnomedicinal uses. For skin diseases 106 plant species belonging to 56 families were documented. Asteraceae (14 species) was dominant family. The most dominant life form reported was herb (62%), the preferred method of utilization powder (23 species), and the most used plant part was leaves (63 species). Wound healing (43 species) is dominant disease category. The quantitative analysis showed RFC ranged from 0.07 to 0.25%. Highest use-value was reported for Psidium guajava L. (0.143 UV). Highest FIV was recorded for Pteridaceae (26.6%). In this study FL values ranged from 36.8 to 100% and the use for skin disorders was reported for the first time for 88% of the plant species. The reported data was also compared with 50 previous national and international published papers in order to obtain some novel ethnomedicinal uses. For glottis disorders 97 medicinal plant species belonging to 51 families were reported. Lamiaceae (10 species) was found as most cited family with highest FIV (62.1%). Leaves were the most frequently used plant parts (44%) followed by fruits (11%). Frequently used growth forms of medicinal plants was herb (65%) followed by trees (19%). The herbal preparations were mostly in the form of unprocessed dried/fresh, decoction (52%) and powder (12%) and were usually taken orally. Cough (73 species) was most treated diseases category. RFC value ranges from 0.268 - 0.049. Euphorbia hirta L. and Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton (0.22) showed the highest use vale while least UV was reported for Malva sylvestris L., and Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds. (0.01). Lamiaceae was the most dominant family (62.163 %). Similarly Tagetes erecta L., Aloe vera Linn., Adiantum capillus-veneris L., and Anisomeles indica L. were identified as plants with high fidelity level (FL = 94.4%). In addition to this the data was compared with 33 national and international published articles. The study provides comprehensive and useful information about traditional uses of medicinal plants used by local communities for the treatment of Musculoskeletal, Hypertension, Skin and Glottis disorders in Northern Pakistan. This project gives baseline data on indigenous knowledge in Northern Pakistan to promote local health conditions, save it for upcoming generations as well as for potential drug discovery development. In future this reported ethnopharmacological data should be used as interdisciplinary field of research in providing primary data and scientific nexus with advance research project regarding pharmacological applications as well as in advanced field of pharmaceuticals and new drug discovery development.
