مولوی محمد فیروز الدین ڈسکوی (۱۹۰۷۔۱۸۲۴) کا عرصہ حیات انیسویں صدی کے نصف آخر اور بیسویں صدی کے پہلے عشرے پر مشتمل ہے۔ وہ بیک وقت مفسر قرآن مجید‘ قواعد نویس‘ لغات نویس‘ سیرت و سوانح نگار‘ معلم‘ مذہبی عالم اور اردو پنجابی کے قادر الکلام شاعر تھے۔ آپ سیالکوٹ کی تحصیل ڈسکہ کے محلہ ٹھٹھیاراں میں پیدا ہوئے۔(۳۲) مولوی فیروز الدین انجمن حمایتِ اسلام کے سرگرم کارکن تھے۔ اکثر انجمن کے جلسوں میں شریک ہوتے۔ ماہانہ چندہ دیتے۔ انجمن کے تیسرے سالانہ جلسے‘ منعقدہ 25تا 27 فروری 1888ء میں سیالکوٹ سے جو لوگ شریک ہوئے ان میں مولوی صاحب موصوف ‘ شیخ محمد اقبال (علامہ اقبال جوان دنوں سکاچ مشن کے طالب علم تھے) کے علاوہ دیگر اصحاب بھی شامل تھے۔(۳۳)
مولوی صاحب انجمن کے جلسوں میں نظمیں بھی پڑھا کرتے تھے۔ مئی 1894ء میں انہوں نے نظم ’’مسدس اصلاح قوم کی تحریک‘‘ جلسے میں سنائی۔ نظم کے چھتیس بند تھے۔ نظم جون 1894ء کے شمارے میں شائع بھی ہوئی۔(۳۴)
انجمن کے تیسرے سالانہ جلسے منعقدہ 24تا 27فروری 1888ء میں بھی انہوں نے ایک نظم سنائی جس کا پہلا بند یہ تھا:۔
کیوں نہ ہو آج گلستاں شاداب ہوں نہ گلہائے بوستاں شاداب
کیوں نہ ہو گلشن جہاں شاداب ہو نہ فرحت سے باغباں شاداب
جلسہ ہے انجمن کا سالانہ دور ہے اس چمن کا سالانہ (۳۵)
مولوی فیروز الدین ڈسکوی رفاہی کاموں میں بھی حصہ لیتے تھے۔ سیالکوٹ میں آپ نے انجمن اسلامیہ کی بنیاد ڈالی جس کی زیرِ نگرانی بعد میں تعلیمی ادارے بھی قائم ہوئے۔(۳۶) انجمن اسلامیہ سیالکوٹ کا قیام 1890ء کے اوائل میں ہوا۔1894ء میں انجمن اسلامیہ سیالکوٹ نے سرسید اور مولوی نذیر احمد کی آمد کے انتظامات کئے لیکن وہ سیالکوٹ نہ آ سکے(۳۷)

Islam is the complete code of life. The Prophet (PBUH) and his companions made every effort to safeguard it. They handed it over in fully preserved form without any flaw to their true followers. However, adversaries of Islam have been trying to find faults with safety of Quran and the life of Prophet (PBUH). Orientalists are among them. Orientalists are those non-Muslim scholars, who do their research about Muslim’s beliefs, culture and values. Their purpose is to double edge. First to create doubts in the minds of Muslims regarding their religion. Secondly to marsh hated in the hearts and minds of non-believers. This is why these prejudiced scholars criticize Quran and the personal life of Prophet (PBUH). In the following discussion we have analyzed these objections in detail regarding the safeguard of the Holy Quran during the time of Muhammad (PBUH).
Pakistan is predominantly an arid country but it has one of the best and extensive irrigation systems in the world. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) are the major grain crops in the country and wheat-rice cropping pattern is followed on substantial area of the country. Soil health directly controls the growth and development of crops and so for wheat and rice. The key of sustainable agricultural production is the optimum use of on-farm resources to feed ever increasing population without harming the available resources. For seed bed preparation the use of different tillage methods is most likely and is in practice for many years. Depending upon soil type and agro- ecological conditions of a particular area, appropriate tillage methods should be selected. Soil quality is affected by tillage and farm manure application, similarly, crop growth and yield is also controlled to various degrees. In order to assess the effect of farm manure, compost and inorganic fertilizer on the growth and yield of wheat and rice crops, pot studies were conducted. The promising level of farm manures from these studies and from previous literature were chosen for field studies. The use of different tillage systems is common practice of the regional farmers. The effects of tillage and farm manure on crop growth and yield, soil physical properties and C-sequestration under wheat-rice cropping rotation were investigated at Faisalabad. Three tillage methods (minimum, conventional and deep tillage) and three farm manure at 0 (control), 15 and 30 Mg ha–1 was used to evaluate the effect on soil physical properties and growth. The wheat and rice crops were sown in pots and field up to maturity. Different agronomic, yield parameters and chemical composition were recorded at the harvest of each crop. Soil samples (0-100 cm) were collected before and after every crop from each treatment plot and were analyzed for NPK concentrations. Soil bulk density and hydraulic conductivity was improved by the use of farm manure. Data were analyzed statistically following standard statistical procedures analysis of variance and multivariate analysis of variance and bi plots were constructed. The root length density (RLD) of wheat in upper 10 cm soil layer was 16% more in case of minimum tillage (MT) with farm manure at 30 Mg ha–1 (FM30). The total RLD of rice the same soil layer was increased by 12% and 17% in case of deep tillage with FM at 15 Mg ha–1. The rice yield was increased by 24% under minimum tillage with FM30 during first year and 21% at 15 Mg ha–1 FM under same tillage. The increase in wheat yield was 11% under MT with farm manure at 15 Mg ha–1 (FM15) during second year. The conventional tillage (CT) with FM30 increased the carbon sequestration among all the tillage systems. The information will be used to further evaluate the amount, direction and change in carbon turnover in all the cropping systems of the country to alleviate the resource poor farmers of the country and in the long run to assess the value of different indicators in relation to soil quality and crop productivity. The treatment combinations CT × FM0 (first year) and CT × FM15 (second year) were more economical incase of wheat. CT × FM15 also proved its worth incase of rice for both years.
