مولانا سید ابوظفر ندوی
ابھی یہ سطور لکھی جا رہی تھیں کہ اچانک اطلاع ملی کہ مولانا سید ابوظفر ندوی نے اپنے وطن دیسنہ(بہار) میں وفات پائی۔اناﷲ واناالیہ راجعون۔مرحوم پرانے دور کے ندوی تھے۔ تمام علوم اسلامیہ وعربیہ میں دسترس رکھتے تھے،لیکن تاریخ ان کاخاص فن تھا، چنانچہ مرحوم نے جتنے مقالات لکھے اور جتنی کتابیں تالیف کیں اُن میں سے اکثر وبیشتر اسی موضوع پرہیں۔ اس فن کابڑا عمدہ اورصاف ستھرا مذاق رکھتے تھے، جو کچھ لکھتے تھے شگفتہ زبان میں لکھتے اور تحقیق کے ذریعہ فراہمی معلومات کاحق اداکردیتے تھے۔ ’مختصر تاریخ ہند‘ اور ’تاریخ سندھ‘ دارالمصنفین کی طرف سے شائع ہوکر مقبول عام وخاص ہوچکی ہیں۔ایک ضخیم کتاب ’’تاریخ گجرات‘‘ کے نام سے ندوۃ المصنفین کے زیرِ اہتمام طبع ہورہی ہے۔مختلف کالجوں میں پروفیسر رہے اوراب ادھر سالہا سال سے احمدآباد میں گجرات اکاڈمی سے وابستہ تھے۔ مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ کے بھانجہ یا بھتیجے تھے اور یوں بھی صورۃً وسیرۃً سیدصاحب سے اس درجہ مشابہ تھے کہ ۵۵ء میں اپنی صاحبزادی کی شادی کے سلسلہ میں کلکتہ آئے اور پہلے سے کسی اطلاع کے بغیر اچانک راقم الحروف سے ملنے کی غرض سے دفتر میں تشریف لے آئے تومرحوم کودیکھ کرسید صاحب کی شکل وصورت کا نقشہ آنکھوں میں پھر گیا اور بے قرار کرگیا،یہ بالکل پہلی ملاقات تھی مگروہی بزرگانہ شفقت ومحبت ، باتوں میں علمیت اورذہانت کے ساتھ وہی بھولا پن اورسادگی ،وہی غایتِ کرم اور توجہ۔ سمدھیانہ میں شادی کا ہنگامہ بپاتھا اس لیے شب غریب خانہ پر ہی بسر کی۔ احمد آبادسے بھی وقتاًفوقتاً خط لکھتے رہتے تھے اوراُس میں بھی وہی مشفقانہ اور بزرگانہ انداز ہوتاتھا۔میر ے اور اپنے خانگی معاملات پراس طرح گفتگو کرتے تھے کہ گویا ہم دونوں قریبی رشتہ دار ہوں۔ان ذاتی اخلاق کے علاوہ بڑے متشرع اور متدین تھے، دو راتیں میرے مکان پر...
Human life is the subjective of change with the changing circumstances. If we look at the condition of our late grandfather or great – grandfather and look at the contemporary situation; it will not be difficult to understand this change. The rules about some important issues had been changed with the passage of time. In the initial descendants of Adam the marriage of brothers and sisters was allowed, after the flood of Noah, due to the scarcity of animals, the meat of all kinds of animals was allowed, two sisters were married to Hazrat Yaqub (A.S) at the same time, but the rules had been reversed afterwards. Even in the time of the Holy Prophet and the rightly guided caliphs, such changes took place and they were associated with the changing conditions. Initially it was banned to visit the graves and the sacrificial meet was not allowed to keep for more than three days and it was mandatory upon the women to attend the congregational prayer but afterwards the permissions were granted contrarily. Fortunately, we have a body of jurisprudence in the light of which not only contemporary issues can be solved but also guidance can be provided for the future. Our leading Jurists, who are followed, have done a remarkable job in this regard. The following article reviews the teachings of the three jurists, namely Imam Shafi’i, Imam Malik, and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal and teachings of their glean jurists. It will make clear that under changing circumstances these jurists seemed to agree on change. Therefore, by using the efforts of these jurists, we can try to resolve the problems of our contemporary changes and requirements throughout the Muslim World.
Fluoride and oxide perovskite structures are attracting huge interest in recent years due to their special functionalities. In this thesis, the theoretical investigation on wide range of useful compounds from perovskite family have been studied thoroughly for their possible technological applications. Within the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT), structural, elastic, mechanical, electronic, optical, magnetic and thermodynamic properties are studied by employing Full Potential-Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) method. For the said investigation, the WIEN2k package is utilized. The investigations on fluorine based strontium series of perovskites SrMF3 (M = Li, Na, K, Rb) reveals that in these mechanically stable fluoroperovskites, brittleness and ionic behavior are dominated which decreases from SrLiF3 to SrRbF3. Calculated energy band profiles confirm wide and direct (Γ-Γ) bandgap. A predominant characteristic associated with cation replacement shows that Li by Na, Na by K, and K by Rb significantly reduces the direct bandgap in SrMF3 (M = Li, Na, K, Rb) compounds. This crucial variation is responsible for working in different Ultra-Violet regions of the spectrum. Furthermore, from application point of view, they could preferably be used in lens materials because they would not tolerate birefringence that would make design of lenses difficult but also can be used in the confinement of light for Light Emitting Devices. The optimizations of structural parameters for rubidium based fluoroperovskite, RbHgF3 is done with variety of approximations, which validates through comparison with available experimental data. Energy band profile authenticates that inspected material is a narrow and indirect energy bandgap (M–Γ) semiconductor while contour maps of electron density verifies, mixed covalent-ionic behavior. In addition to it, optical responses show wide range of absorption and reflection in high frequency regions. Several elastic and mechanical parameters, reveals that protactinium based oxide series of perovskites XPaO3 (X = K, Rb) are mechanically stable and possesses weak resistance to shear deformation as compared with resistance to unidirectional compression while flexible and covalent behaviors are dominated in them. The analysis of band profile through Tran–Blaha modified Becke–Johnson (TB-mBJ) potential highlights the underestimation of bandgap with traditional Density Functional Theory (DFT) approximation. Specific contribution of electronic states are investigated by means of total and partial density of states and it can be evaluated that both compounds are direct bandgap (Γ–Γ) semiconductors. The study on BaMO3 (M= Pa,U) explores, type of chemical bonding with the help of variations in electron density difference distribution that is induced due to changes of second cation. The results of electronic properties illustrate direct bandgap (Γ-Γ) semi-conductive nature with the bandgap of 4.20 eV and 4.01 eV for BaPaO3 and BaUO3 compounds respectively. The band gap dependent optical properties such as complex dielectric function Ԑ (ω), optical conductivity σ (ω), refractive index n (ω), reflectivity R (ω), and effective number of electrons (neff) via sum rules are reported for the first time.The investigations on KXF3 (X = V, Fe, Co, Ni) authenticates that this class of fluoroperovskites are elastically as well as mechanically stable and anisotropic while KCoF3 is harder than rest of the compounds. The calculated spin dependent magnetoelectronic properties in these compounds shows that exchange splitting is dominated by N-3d orbital. The stable magnetic phase optimizations verify the experimental observations at low temperature. The present methodology represents an influential approach to calculate the whole set of mechanical and magneto-opto-electronic parameters, which would support to understand various physical phenomena and empower device engineers for implementing these materials in spintronic applications.The pressure induced structural, elastic, mechanical, electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of SrLiF3, SrNaF3, SrKF3, SrRbF3, and CaLiF3 are computationally calculated for their possible technological outcomes. All elastic and mechanical parameters are linearly dependent on applied pressure and an increase in pressure improves tensile strength and stiffness, on the other hand, reduces brittleness and compressibility of these cubic fluoroperovskites. It is observed that an increase in pressure considerably improves the wide and direct (Γ-Γ) electronic bandgap. The optical parameters of SrLiF3 and SrNaF3 shows that all optical responses shift towards higher energy ranges which divulges that both are more suitable for optoelectronic devices at higher pressure ranges. Consequently, our theoretical work has been benchmarked various quantum mechanical effects, which will motivate research scholars to done theoretical as well as experimental investigations on fluoride and oxide perovskites that must be considered to understand and utilize these materials in fabricating practical devices for optoelectronic, microelectronic, spintronic and piezoelectric applications.
