مولانا مفتی مہدی حسن شاہجہاں پوری
آہ! کیوں کر کہئے کہ علم وفضل اورتحقیق وتدقیق کی ایک اورشمع روشن گزشتہ ماہ کی ۲۹؍ تاریخ کوگل ہوگئی یعنی مولانا مفتی سید مہدی حسن صاحب شاہجہانپوری نے اپنے وطن میں وفات پائی ،مولانا کاسلسلۂ نسب بیس (۲۰) واسطوں سے حضرت شیخ عبدالقادر جیلانیؒ سے ملتا ہے، ساتویں پشت میں آپ کے جدِّ امجد سیدابو اسحٰق ابراہیم عہدِ شاہجہانی میں بغداد سے ہندوستان آئے اور اورنگ آباد میں مقیم ہوگئے،حضرت مفتی صاحب ۱۳۰۰ ہجری میں شاہجہانپور کے محلہ کاکاخیل میں پیدا ہوئے ابتدائی تعلیم وطن میں پائی۔ مفتی کفایت اﷲ صاحب کے مدرستہ امینیہ دہلی میں درسیات کی تکمیل کی پھر دیوبند جاکر حضرت شیخ الہندؒ سے صحیح بخاری اورترمذی کا درس لیا۔ اگرچہ بیعت حضرت مولانا رشید احمد صاحب گنگوہیؒ سے تھے لیکن خلافت واجازت حضرت کے خلیفۂ مجاز مولانا شیخ شفیع الدین مہاجر مکی ؒ سے لی۔کم و بیش تیس برس راندیر ضلع سورت میں مقیم رہ کر درس وافتاکی خدمات انجام دیں، پھر صدرمفتی کے عہدہ پر دیوبندچلے گئے۔ تقریباً اٹھارہ برس کے بعد مسلسل بیماری اور ضعیفی کے باعث وطن چلے گئے ،یہاں آخر دم تک صاحبِ فراش ہونے کے باوجود افتااورمطالعہ ٔ کتب کامشغلہ برابر جاری رہا۔حدیث اورفقہ مولانا کے خاص فن تھے،چھوٹی بڑی متعدد کتابیں تصنیف کیں،لیکن علمی تحقیق وتدقیق، دقّتِ نظر اوروسعتِ مطالعہ کاشاہکار یہ کتابیں ہیں،(۱) امام محمد کی کتاب الحجۃ علی اہل المدینہ کی تحقیق وترتیب اوراُس پر تعلیقات و حواشی،پوری کتاب میں ہے لیکن حیدرآباد سے دوجلدیں شائع ہوئی ہیں، (۲) امام محمد کی کتاب الآثار کی شرح تین ضخیم جلدوں میں یہ بھی حیدرآباد سے شائع ہوئی ہیں، (۳) مؤطاامام محمد کی شرح، (۴) علامہ ابن حزم کی کتاب المحلی پرتنقید جوغالباً مکمل نہیں ہوئی۔ علمی اور تحقیقی کمالات کے ساتھ شعروادب کا ذوق بھی بڑا شگفتہ تھا،...
Literally, Rasm means “symbol” While the term “rasm” refers to the knowledge by which the writer is protected from the errors of writing. The use of the word “rasm” in the sense of writing began around the fifth century (AH) and later the word was used exclusively for the “Rasm-e-Usmani”. Although the Holy Qur'an was written entirely in the Prophet's time, it was based on various things, then in the era ofAbu Bakar(RA)it was also given abook form, but this “Rasm” was named after the “Rasm-e-Usmani” because it was job of Usman (RA)to purify the Holy Qur'an from the rare recitations (Shaz Qira`at) and commentary sayings of the Companions and to compile it in a manner in which all the recitations could be recited continuously and then to prepare its Mushafs and send them to different Islamic countries. The “Rasm” on which he prepared the Mushafs was different from the common script due to some features and these features are called the six rules and they are; Hazf, Zyadat, Al-Hamz, Badal, Wasl-o-Fasal and Ma-fihi-Qira`ataan. There is a difference of opinion as to whether the “Rasm-e-Mushaf” is detention or non-detention, however, the preferred opinion is that of the detainees. Similarly, whether it is necessary for the Muslim Ummah to adhere to this “Rasm” or not, the position of the majority of scholars is that adherence to the “Rasm-e-Usmani” is necessary for all Muslims.
The diversity of macroinvertebrates assemblages in wheat-weeds and sugarcane-weeds agroecosystems were recorded. In addition, phytochemical potential of weeds recorded from both crops were determined to evaluate assessment of synergies of the synchronized biodiversity of wheat and sugarcane crops in Faisalabad district. A total of 72 species of macroinvertebrates (n=4228) were recorded from wheat-weeds agroecosystem. Of these, 58 species inhabited both wheat and weeds while the remaining 14 were recorded only from weeds. Arthropoda (92.41%) and the Mollusca (7.59%) were most recorded macro-invertebrate taxa. Hemiptera (29.09%), Coleoptera (24.77%), Diptera (23.07%), Orthoptera (5.34%) and Pulmonata (8.69%) were the dominant groups of macroinvertebrates in wheat. Diptera (30.92%), Hemiptera (26.49%), Coleoptera (13.53%), Hymenoptera (9.97%) Pulmonata (6.81) and Orthoptera (6.16%) on the other hand, were the most recorded macroinvertebrates on wheat weeds. A higher number of macroinvertebrates (n= 2930) was recorded at the edges in comparison to the centers (n= 1298) of wheat fields. The diversity (H′), richness (S) and evenness (E) indicated a highly significant difference in species composition in most of the habitat combinations. A total of 232 species of macroinvertebrates (n = 5665) were recorded from sugarcane- weeds agroecosystem. Of these, 53 were recorded only from sugarcane while 61 were recorded exclusively from weeds. Arthropods were the most abundant group of macroinvertebrates collected from sugarcane (94.26%) and its associated weeds (98.22%). Hemiptera Coleoptera, Diptera, Orthoptera and Araneae collectively constituted 82% of the macroinvertebrates. A comparison of the diversity (H′) values indicated a highly significant difference in species richness (S) and evenness (E) in all the habitat combinations. The diversity (H′), richness (S) and evenness (E) were higher at the edge than the center of both habitats under consideration.Seeds of fifteen weeds and vegetative parts (roots, stem, and leaves) of seventeen weeds were subjected to analysis to evaluate their phytochemicals. Flavinoids, saponins, tannins, steroids, glycosides, alkaloids, anthrequinones and terpenoids were recorded. This baseline study documents that weeds provide phytomorphic heterogeneity for heterogeneity of macroinvertebrates feeding, breeding and over wintering and taking refuge in various niches. They seem help in maintaining a balance between predator-prey population dynamics and in turn, warrant sustainable crop production with least amount of pesticides and fertilizers used. The weeds that are already being used as traditional medicines could have great economic potential to be used as synergizers fortifying the wheat flour quality (as seeds) and green manure as well.
