انسانی زندگی میں جنات کے اثرات

Among different creations of Allāh, Jinnāt have their own independent existence. By essence, they neither belong to the human race nor to the angelic world. One commonality between Jinnāt and human beings is that they both are provided with consciousness and can practice their own free-will in terms of choosing what is right and what is wrong, while angles are deprived of this ability. Jinnāt are mentioned in numerous places in the Qur’ān and the Aḥādīth of the Prophet SAW, so much so that it would be unreasonable to deny their existence. Henceforth, the scholars from every period of time have acknowledged their existence and it wouldn’t be wrong to claim that they all share almost similar views on them. Likewise, every Muslim group acknowledged their existence with the exception of Jahmīyah and Mu‘tazilah. As far as Jews and Christians are concerned, they too like Muslims believe in the existence of Jinnāt. To summarize, it is proven by means of multiplicity (Tawātur) of report from all the Prophets and Messengers and therefore, every follower of the heavenly religion has some sort of belief in the existence of Jinnāt. As far as their influence on the human beings is concerned, there are three major views prevailing among Muslims.  There are those who completely deny their existence and therefore, do not in anyway acknowledge their influence on human life. Then there are those who do believe in their existence but are of the opinion that they remain aloof from human beings and therefore, have no influence on the human life. The third opinion which is the opinion of the majority of the scholars is that not only Jinnāt exist but they have the power to influence and affect human beings as well. In this treatise, the opinion of the proponents of the third view is analyzed and their evidences from Qur’ān and Sunnah are discussed.

Comparison of Seasonal Incidence and Integrated Pest Management of Helicoverpa Armigera Noctuidae Lepidoptera on Bt and Non Bt Cotton in Punjab, Pakistan

Cotton is an important commodity in the economy of Pakistan. Different types of insect pest attack on cotton crop. Among all insect pests, Helicoverpa armigera (Noctuidae; Lepidoptera) is one of the most harmful and broad-based pest causing major economic loss in quality and production of cotton and some other crops. A survey was conducted to know the oviposition response, larval incidence and adult population of H. armigera in three districts of Punjab viz Multan, Khanewal and Vehari during 2014/15. Survey results shows that there was non-significant difference in oviposition found in all three districts But number of eggs varies significantly with at each date of observation. Overall mean maximum number of eggs (0.44/plant) were observed at F5 compared to other weeks. In case of larvae there was non-significant difference in H. armigera larval population found in Multan, Khanewal and Vehari district. Overall maximum larval population 0.07/plant was found in Vehari followed by 0.05/plant in Multan and Khanewal. Maximum adult population (3.22/trap) was observed in Vehari followed by (2.47/trap) in Khanewal and Multan (1.83/trap). Different Bt and non Bt cotton cultivars were evaluated in Faisalabad regarding incidence and population fluctuation of H. armigera. Results shows that there was no significant difference in eggs density among Bt and non-Bt cotton cultivars. No of larvae was significantly higher in non-Bt as compared to Bt cultivars. Among Bt cultivars highest overall mean larval population (0.07/plant) was found on VH-259 followed by (0.05) in FH-Lalazar, (0.04) in BH-178 and (0.02) in CIM-602. In non Bt cultivars highest larval population (0.13) was found on CIM-573 and lowest (0.09) in BH-67. Bio-efficacy of different parts of different cotton cultivars against 1st, 2nd and 3rd instar of H. armigera was determined under laboratory condition. All first instar larvae were found dead after feeding on leaves, squares, flowers and tender bolls of all Bt cultivars. While in case of non Bt (CIM-608) mean percent mortality was observed in the range of (8.13), (5.83), (5.00) and (11.25) against 1st instar after feeding on leaves squares flowers and bolls respectively. 2nd instar larvae after feeding on leaves on Bt cotton cultivar FH-142 and CIM-602 showed highest overall mean mortality (100.00%) followed by BH-178 (98.75%), FH-Lalazar (95.63%) and VH-259 (93.75%) compared to non-Bt CIM-608 in which only (3.75%) percent mortality was recorded. Amongst, the Bt cotton cultivar CIM-602 showed highest overall mean mortality of 2nd instar (97.50%) followed by BH-178 (95.83%), FH-Lalazar (92.50%) and VH-259 (90.00%) compared to non-Bt CIM-608 in which only (0.00%) percent mortality was recorded. Second instar after feeding on flowers shows highest mean mortality was (95.00%) in FH-142 and lowest was observed in VH-259 (89.00%) as compared to other Bt cultivars. Bioassay results of 2nd instar after feeding on bolls showed highest overall mean mortality (96.25%) in FH-142 followed by CIM-602 (93.75%), FH-Lalazar (90.00%) and VH-259 (86.25%), as compared to non-Bt CIM-608 (2.50%). 3rd instar of H. armigera showed lower mortality as compared to 1st and 2nd instar after feeding on plants parts. Different components of four modules were designed to suppress the insect pests of cotton including bollworms. Results showed that sucking pest such as whitefly and thrips and bollworms population was below ETL in all the four modules except Jassid shows above ETL population.
