ڈاکٹرمحمد زبیر صدیقی
علمی اور اسلامی حلقے ڈاکٹر محمد زبیر صدیقی سے خوب واقف ہیں، ان کا عربی زبان اور اسلامی علوم کا مطالعہ بہت وسیع تھا۔ ان کے مقالات اور کتابیں اہلِ علم کے حلقہ میں قدر کی نظر سے دیکھی جاتی تھیں، تدوین حدیث پر ان کی کتاب السیر الحثیث بڑی محققانہ سمجھی جاتی ہے، تصنیف و تالیف کے ساتھ ان کی زندگی کا بڑا حصہ تعلیم و تدریس میں گزرا، پہلے کئی برس لکھنؤ یونیورسٹی کے شعبۂ عربی سے وابستہ رہے، پھر کلکتہ چلے گئے، اور تقریباً ۳۳ سال تک اسلامی تاریخ و تہذیب اور عربی و فارسی زبانوں کی تدریس و تحقیق میں مصروف رہے، عرصہ تک مدرسۂ عالیہ کے صدر، ایشیاٹک سوسائٹی کے نائب صدر اور ملک کی بہت سی یونیورسٹیوں اور علمی اداروں کے رکن بھی رہے، افسوس کے ۱۸؍ مارچ کو علم کا یہ چراغ گل ہوگیا، اﷲ تعالیٰ انہیں اپنی رحمتوں اور نوازشوں سے سرفراز فرمائے، اور ان کے عزیزوں، دوستوں اور شاگردوں کو صبر عطا فرمائے، اور ان کی راہ پر چلنے کی توفیق عطا فرمائے۔ (عبد السلام قدوائی ندوی، اپریل ۱۹۷۶ء)

اوس بن حجر کا یہ شعر سیکڑوں بار پڑھا ہوگا، لیکن استاذ محترم ڈاکٹر محمد زبیر صدیقی کی وفات ہوئی تو معلوم ہوتا تھا کہ شاعر نے اسی موقع کے لئے کہا ہے۔
ڈاکٹر صاحب ایک متبحر عالم قرآن و حدیث کے بالغ نظر نکتہ شناس وسیع النظر محقق، تجربہ کار ماہر تعلیم، بے مثل، استاد اور بلند مرتبت اور پروقار شخصیت کے انسان تھے۔
مرحوم بیماری اور کبرسنی کی وجہ سے بے حد کمزور ہوگئے تھے، اور کئی سال سے خانہ نشین تھے، گزشتہ سال اپریل میں ان کی حالت ایسی تشویش ناک ہوگئی تھی کہ نرسنگ ہوم میں داخل کرنا پڑا،...
This article focuses on the various aspects of Khushal's mystical poetry. Khushal was well-read and had a lot of scholarly exposure. He also spent time in the company of great scholars. All these factors contributed to his mystical poetry. I. According to him the servant of God knows himself. In other words those people know themselves who know Allah. Ii This world becomes a mirage for those who believes in Allah and the world seems a useless place to them. Iii. There is a universe in the heart of a “darwesh”. Iv. There are two types of mind; one is worldly and the other is spiritual. They both consider each other as the same. V. True love does not depend on wisdom but it depends on the passion of the individuals. In short, Khushal khan khattak has expressed great mystical thoughts in his poetry for the benefits of all and sundry, and invites them to think about their near future and see what is happening around them and what will be the answer of that questions which would be asked on the day of resurrection.
In this dissertation, a novel direct radio frequency (RF) sampling method is proposed in order to find out the minimum sampling frequency for an evenly spaced spectrum comprising multiband RF signals. The proposed methodology describes a set of rules to achieve the lowest possible sampling frequency rates without any compromise of spectrum folding or overlap of aliases in baseband after down conversion. It is shown that the minimum sampling rate has a unique relation with the layout of the spectrum of interest (SOI). For instance, if there are N number of information bands of equal bandwidth B in the SOI, then it is possible to down-convert the complete SOI using the sampling rate, 2NB, which is twice of the total information bandwidth only if all bands are evenly spaced in the SOI. Another factor introduced to the achieve the minimum sampling rate is the sparseness-nature in the SOI, which is the ratio of null bandwidth to information bandwidth. The proposed methodology is general in nature and is flexible to the number of input signals or bands as well as to their positions in the desired spectrum. In the proposed research work, simulations are carried out that verify that by using the recommended minimum sampling rates, the desired signal is extractable without any additional computational complexity due to spectrum folding or aliasing-overlap. Our proposed methodology has a vast scope in the design of general-purpose receivers, global navigational satellite system (GNSS) receiver and cognitive radios (CR) because of the use of a low speed ADC. Moreover, the same can be efficiently used to monitor a wide band spectrum in military communications especially for electronic warfare receivers, where reduction of the complexity, size and cost has significant importance. As a model application of our proposed work, we present a composite design for the multiband-multistandard GNSS receiver. The design efficacy is based on the proposed bandpass sampling methodology that transforms the sparse-spectrum electromagnetic environment into a quasi-uniformly spaced spectrum of compact bandwidth, which is more appropriate and useful for simultaneous digitization and down-conversion of analogue signals. In this method, only a part of SOI is transformed to an intermediate frequency. In this way, the desired frequency bands of information that are widely spread, are grouped to form a contiguous-spectrum which is quasi-uniformly spaced. There on, a sub- sampling is carried out for simultaneous digitization and translation of input signals to the first-Nyquist zone. The proposed composite architecture is also helpful to circumvent the higher-order intermodulation components. The proposed design is validated for conventional Global Positioning System L1 and L2 bands and also for new L5 band used in GNSS (GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou) receivers. The presented results show considerable reduction in the sampling rates, and improvement in signal-to-noise and distortion ratio, which can be easily managed by a low sampling analogue to digital conversion.
