نشورؔ واحدی
ہندوستان میں فراق گورکھپوری کا ماتم ابھی ختم نہیں ہوا تھا کہ نشور واحدی بھی داغِ مفارقت دے گئے، ان کا کلام ان کی دلکش اور مترنم آواز میں اعظم گڑھ کے مشاعروں اور دارالمصنفین کی نجی مجلسوں میں ان سے برابر سننے میں آیا، متین، سنجیدہ اور پرانی تہذیب کے حامل تھے، بلیاوطن تھا، مگر زندگی حلیم کالج کانپور میں ایک استاد کی حیثیت سے گذاری، شروع میں تعلیم دائرہ رفیع الزمان الہ آباد کے بزرگ شاہ شفاء اﷲ سے پائی جن سے فلسفۂ اسلام، فلسفۂ خودی اور مولانا روم کے افکار کے بہت سے رموز و نکات کو اچھی طرح سمجھا ان کا خوش گوار اثر ان کی شاعری پر بھی پڑا، ان کے کلام کے کئی مجموعے آتش ونم، شورنشور، صہبائے ہند اور فروغ جام کے نام سے شائع ہوئے، اصغر، حسرت، فانی، جگر اور فراق گورکھپوری کی صف کے بعد جو شعراء کھڑے نظر آئے، ان میں نشور واحدی اپنے شاعرانہ کمال کی گل پیرہنی، مشاگلی اور شیریں بیانی، پھر فکر و فن کے رنگ و آہنگ کی جلوہ گری میں کسی سے کم نہیں نظر آئے، بلکہ بعض حیثیتوں سے اپنے معاصروں میں قدآور دکھائی دیئے۔
۱۹۴۰ء میں جناب شاہ معین الدین احمد ندوی (سابق ناظم دارالمصنفین) نے ان کے مجموعۂ کلام ’’صبہائے ہند‘‘ کے شروع میں ایک مختصر تبصرہ میں لکھا تھا کہ ان کی شاعری میں تغزل کی رنگینیاں بھی ہیں، قوم و وطن کے لئے پیامِ زندگی بھی، مذہب و ملت کا درس بھی، الفاظ کی سلاست بھی، بیان کی لطافت بھی، معتدل شوخی بھی، اور جوش و سرمستی کے نمونے بھی ہیں، اپنی ان شاعرانہ خوبیوں کو انھوں نے آخر وقت تک قائم رکھا، نثر میں ان کی ایک کتاب اسلام میں فلسفۂ خودی پر بھی ہے، دعا ہے کہ ان کا اسلامی جذبہ بارگاہ...
Hazrat Abdul Rehman (may Allah be pleased with him) belonged to Arab tribe of Quraish and was a close relative of Mohammad (peace be upon him). At the time of conquest of Makkah He (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the circle of Islam. He (may Allah be pleased with him) is counted among the companions of Muhammad (may Allah be pleased with him) who came to sub-continent specially Balochistan in order to preach for Islam and Jihad during the Khilafat of orthodox caliphs. He (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Balochistan twice for Jihad and conquests first during the Khilafat of Hazrat Usman (may Allah be pleased with him) and second time in the early era of Hazrat Muawia (may Allah be pleased with him). He (may Allah be pleased with him) played a vital role in the wars of Balochistan. He (may Allah be pleased with him) established Zehri his abode and capital after conquering Kalat, Khuazdar (Sajistan), Kachi, Gandhava, and Chaghi, and from here he expanded the series of his conquests till Kabul and Qandar. Besides this, he included many areas of sub-continent in the Islamic empire of conquered areas. His (may Allah be pleased with him) life is consists of great chapters of sincerity in deeds. Wisdom and valor, determination fearlessness, strife, hospitality, simplicity and patience. He (may Allah be pleased with him) is counted among the great generals of Islam had the honour to have carried the message of Holy faith in every corner of Balochistan in tough and unfavorable conditions and planted the flag of Islam in Balochistan forever.
With the death of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) the enemies of Islam had started their intrigues to create
obstacles against the fast growing and spreading message of Islam or Quran and Sunnah. In eighth
century the Christian missionaries were seriously apprehended from the great successes and victories of
the Muslim in European countries. They, thus, tried their best to oppose Islam and Muhammad (S.A.W)
through their unscientific and polemical writings (e.g. the writings of Johan of Demascus) and their
military or warlike activities (e.g. long-duration Crusades of 11th to 13th centuries). But they did not
succeed to destroy the Muslims and Islam in medieval times. In the 17th and 18'1' century, the period of
renaissance, the trend of scientific study on Sirah from original sources started but could not promote
with true spirit of seeking real knowledge. During this period, thus, a dangerous Orientalism had taken
place, which caused British and French Colonialism and afterwards the imperialism.
This confrontation between the East (especially the Muslims or Arab countries) and the West continued
and aggravated even in 20th century when America appeared on the map of the world. Now, beyond any
doubt, the Orientalism was definitely meant for seeking of knowledge of the Islamic sciences and of
Muslim countries for the purpose of gaining power, domination and possessions of Muslim countries and
their economic resources especially the oil-resources of the Arab world. The most important Orientalists
promoting the power-based scholarship are Huntington, Bernard Lewis, Berger, Fukuyama etc.
The pure scientific era of research i.e. the 20th century was expected to give the right direction to the
Orientalists' research on Sirah. But, the works of the Orientalists are still creating the hatred and enmity
between the two civilizations such as the tricky and dangerous works of W. Montgomery Watt have been
serving the same purpose. Although, he presents an attractive rhetoric in his works but the medieval style
of unscientific research is still continuing in the form of modern scientific research which does not
provide objective study but a purely religiously biased study on Sirah. This dissertation aims at
contributing towards scientific point of view and to review the studies by the Orientalists.
