Life of Shāh Walī Allāh
Shāh Walī Allāh has written an article titled “al- Juz’ al- Laṭīf fī tarjamat al- ‘Abd al-Ẓa‘īf” in his book “Anfās al ‘Ārifīn” in which he has described his life history. Following are the events of his life as narrated by him:
“I was born on Wednesday 4thShawwāl, 1114 A. H at sunrise… Parents and other saints had received the intuitions about me even before and after my birth. I was sent to Maktab at the age of five and when I was about seven my father made me offer prayers and commanded me to observe fast. In the same year, circumcision was done and after having finished the Qur’ān I took up studying books in Arabic and Persian. At the age of ten, I was going through “Sharaḥ Mullā” and during that time the field of studies opened up for me. I was married at fourteen as my father had desired an early wedding…. I gave my hand to my father’s hand at the age of fifteen and got busy taking up Ashghāl-e-Ṣufīah, especially the Mashā’ikh-e-Naqshband. I set up my spiritual discourse after having sought their attention and motivation to acquire the grooming about norms of religious practices and spiritual uplift through Sufiism. In the same year, I studied a part of Beḍāvī Sharīf and then my father arranged a general feast where he accorded me permission to deliver dars. In short, I learned all the disciplines of that area (‘Ulūm-e-Mutadāwalah) at the age of fifteen and went through all the books linked with these fields in chronological order. In the field of Ḥadīth, leaving aside its part from Kitāb al-bay‘ upto Kitāb al-ādāb, I went through the remaining complete Mishkāt, Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī upto Kitāb al-ṭahārah...
This research aims to find out whether gender diversity, audit committees, institutional ownership, and employee pressure has a significant effect on the sustainability report. This research method is a quantitative research by taking samples using a purposive sampling technique based on predetermined characteristics of 20 companies listed in the LQ-45 index for 2019-2022. The type of data used is secondary data and the method of analysis used is panel data regression using Eviews. The results of the study show that the calculation of the hypothesis, namely gender diversity, has no significant effect on the sustainability report with a significant level of 0.5341> 0.05. The audit committee has no significant effect on the sustainability report with a significant level of 0.6224>0.05. Institutional ownership has no significant effect on the sustainability report with a significant level of 0.1466>0.05. Employee pressure has a positive and significant effect on the sustainability report with a significant level of 0.0105<0.05. For simultaneous testing, an F count of 3.812784 is obtained with a probability of 0.000022 <0.05, meaning that gender diversity, audit committee, institutional ownership, and employee pressure simultaneously influence the sustainability report.
Five potential salt tolerant forage grasses (Aeluropus lagopoides, Cymbopogon jwarancusa, Ochthochloa compressa, Lasiurus scindicus and Sporobolus ioclados) were collected from the salt affected habitats of Cholistan desert to assess their adaptive components of salt tolerance to saline stress by determining various morpho-anatomical and physiological attributes. The degree of salt tolerance of the ecotypes of all five grasses from the differentially saline habitats was compared in a hydroponic system. In general, the ecotypes from the highly saline Ladam Sir (LS) habitat of all five grasses performed better under high salinities than their counterparts from the moderately saline Bailahwala Dahar (BD) and least saline Derawar Fort (DF). All these species showed specific adaptive modifications in their structure and physiology as well as definite mechanisms to deal with high salinity levels of external environment. The LS ecotypes of A. lagopoides and O. compressa generally tended to exclude toxic ions through leaves and this salt exclusion mechanism responsible for their successful survival under highest salinity levels. The LS ecotypes of S. ioclados and C. jwarancusa were tolerated moderate salinities and more relied on restricted uptake of toxic ions and succulence while L. scindicus was the sensitive to high salinities and relied more on the accumulation of free amino acids and proline. In conclusion, the present study on the salt tolerance of natural populations of five desert grass species confirms that natural selection had a considerable impact on the development of adaptive components of salt tolerance in these grasses which clearly depict that plant growing in prevailing saline environments must have specific genetic makeup developed as a result of natural selection over long period of time.
