پروفیسر نثار احمد فاروقی
دارالمصنفین، شبلی اکیڈمی میں ۲۹؍ نومبر ۲۰۰۴ء کو علامہ شبلیؒ سمینار کا چوتھا اجلاس ہورہا تھا کہ یہ افسوس ناک خبر ملی کہ جید عالم اور اردو کے محقق، نقاد اور ادیب جناب نثار احمد فاروقی ۲۷ و ۲۸ نومبر کی درمیانی شب میں انتقال کرگئے، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون، ان کی لاش دہلی سے امروہہ لائی گئی اور ۲۸؍ نومبر کو اپنے آبائی قبرستان میں سپرد خاک کردیے گئے۔
وہ بڑے صحت مند تھے مگر پچھلے کئی برس سے طبیعت خراب رہنے لگی تھی، گزشتہ سال جنوری کے آخر میں ان کے گھر ملاقات کے لیے گیا تو مجھے بہت مضمحل معلوم ہوئے، دریافت کرنے پر بتایا کہ رات ہی بمبئی سے آیا ہوں، وسط مارچ میں رام پور رضا لائبریری کے سمینار میں ملے تب بھی کچھ سست اور بجھے بجھے دکھائی دیے تاہم ان کی تقریر اب بھی کانوں میں گونج رہی ہے، دلی سے ان کا جاننے والا کوئی آتا تو وہ بھی ان کی علالت کا ذکر کرتا، دارالمصنفین کے سمینار میں اسی لئے شروع میں ان کو زحمت دینے میں تامل ہورہا تھا مگر ان کو مجھ سے اور دارالمصنفین سے جو لگاؤ تھا، اس کی وجہ سے طبیعت نہ مانی اور دعوت نامہ بھیج دیا، اسی دوران اخباروں میں پڑھا کہ وہ پروفیسر گوپی چند نارنگ کے ہم راہ دوحہ (قطر) ایوارڈ لینے گئے ہیں، اس لیے ایک عزیز کو دستی خط دے کر اصرار کیا کہ آپ تشریف لاکر مفتخر فرمائیں، خطوط کا جواب وہ فوراً دیتے تھے مگر اس دفعہ کسی خط کا جواب نہیں آیا، جب سمینار میں دہلی اور دوسری جگہوں سے لوگ آنے لگے تو جناب شعیب اعظمی نے جو بٹلہ ہاؤس میں ان کے قریب ہی میں رہتے ہیں بتایا کہ وہ سخت بیمار ہیں، آنے کے لائق نہیں...
Almighty Allah has stated the nature of man that everything He loves towards the one He loves is dear to Him. For this reason, in every age human being has been attached to the remains of his beloved thing. The stories of the former Ummah are contained in the holy Qura᾽n, in which their remnants are proven to be safe after they passed away. This last Ummah also appears to meet these natural requirements. Therefore, just as this Ummah loves his Prophet (peace be upon him). Therefore the sacred Islamic ancient relics have extraordinary significance, which are attributed to the holy Prophet. Muslims get peace by them and kept protecting and persevering such relics during every period. The companions of the Prophet (PBUP) have kept them safe too and they organized particular arrangements for preserving them. But there is also a theory which those who believe these are considered as a prohibition of Islamic Sharia, and they present their arguments on the basis of a “Hadith” attributed to Ḥaḍrat ʻUmar Fārūq (R.A). It is narrated from Ḥaḍrat ʻUmar Fārūq, that the he used to give an importance to the memorandum of Muhammad (PBUH). In the light of such “Riwāyās”, the mentioned “Hadith” would be suspicious. It is essential that he research of this “Hadith” should be reviewed, how its status is? In this article, research has been studied by this “Hadith” that it is clear that this “Hadith” could not be narrated by Ḥaḍrat ʻUmar Fārūq (R.A). Therefore, the concept of demolition of such scared ancient relics could not be supported by the above mentioned “Hadith”.
This study was conducted for the evaluation of hypertonic saline solution in haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) in buffaloes, calf scour in buffalo calves and other clinical conditions of livestock characterized by hypovolaemia and/or endotoxaemia including spontaneous cases of calf scour, dehydrated diarrhoeic goats and buffaloes. For this purpose, 50 buffaloes were selected from the field suffering from HS. The disease was diagnosed on the basis of clinical signs. Then theses animals were randomly divided into two equal groups (A and B). Buffaloes of group A were treated with the conventional treatment already in vogue i.e. ceftiofur HCl and flunixin meglumine @ 6 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg BW, IM and IV, respectively. Group B was treated with intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline solution (HSS) @ 4 mL/kg BW followed by isotonic saline solution @ 10 mL/kg BW along with ceftiofur HCl and flunixin meglumine. For evaluation of HSS in calf scour, neonatal diarrhoea in buffalo calves (n=24) was induced through oral administration of 2 mL broth culture of having eneteropathogenic E. coli count of 10 10 CFU. To evaluate the efficacy of HSS in clinical conditions of livestock, spontaneous cases of calf scour (n=24), dehydrated diarrhoeic goats (n=24) and buffaloes (n=24) were studied. In all these conditions, the animals were randomly divided into two equal groups viz. A and B (n=12 each). Group A was treated with isotonic (90 mL/kg BW) and group B with hypertonic (4 mL/kg BW) saline solutions along with ceftiofur HCl and flunixin meglumine (6 and 2 mg/kg BW, respectively). The efficacy of treatment was evaluated on the basis of clinical parameters, haematological analysis, haemodynamic parameters, blood gas analysis, serum electrolytes and serum biochemical profiles. These all evaluation parameters were recorded at baseline (during disease), t=1, t=3, t=6, t=12, t=24 and t=36 hours after treatment. However, for induced calf scour, the additional recording time point was before induction of diarrhoea which acted as baseline; other recording time points being the same as for other conditions studied. Hypertonic saline infusion to the buffaloes of group B suffering from HS showed significantly higher survival rate of 80% and differed significantly (P < 0.05) from group A in which survival rate was 52%. Group B significantly (P < 0.05) improved heart rate, mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, haematocrit and haemoglobin concentration, partial pressure of arterial oxygen, blood pH and total serum protein. Hypertonic infusion increased serum sodium and xiiichloride ions concentration but the changes were not of sufficient magnitude to be of risk to the buffaloes. Hypertonic saline solution (group B) resuscitated buffalo calves from neonatal diarrhoea (either induced or spontaneous) more rapidly and effectively than isotonic saline solution (group A) and showed significant (P < 0.05) improvement in all the parameters studied. The resuscitation of diarrhoeic dehydrated goats (n=24) and buffaloes (n=24) through administering hypertonic saline solution was evaluated. Both treatment protocols helped in recovering the normal values of all the parameters studied within experimental period. But hypertonic saline solution showed significant differences (P < 0.05) over group A in heart rate, mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, partial pressure of arterial oxygen, blood pH and bicarbonates in diarrhoeic goats. In diarrhoeic buffaloes, HSS infusion only showed significant difference (P < 0.05) over group A in partial pressure of venous oxygen, while other parameters were recovered to normal without any statistical difference. On the basis of findings of this study, it was concluded that hypertonic saline solution can be safely administered to the buffaloes suffering from haemorrhagic septicaemia and buffalo calves with neonatal diarrhoea. It offset deleterious haemodynamic effects of endotoxins, thus ameliorates the septic shock more effectively than does antibiotic therapy alone in HS. In addition to rapid and effective, intravenous administration of a small volume of HSS provides a practical and economical method to resuscitate dehydrated calves with neonatal diarrhoea, diarrhoeic goats and buffaloes, thus make it suitable for field use.
