کمپیوٹر عصرِ حاضر کی اہم ضرورت

کمپیوٹر عصر حاضر کی اہم ضرورت
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرنا ہے وہ ہے:’’ کمپیوٹر عصر حاضر کی اہم ضرورت‘‘
کمپیوٹر عقلِ انسانی کا اک انعام ہے
زندگی کا سہل اس کے دم سے ہر اک کام ہے
صدرِذی وقار!
قوموں کی زندگی میں کچھ لمحات ایسے آتے ہیں جو ان کی زندگی میں امر ہو جاتے ہیں۔ قرآنِ پاک میں ہے کہ انسان کے لیے کائنات کی ہر چیز مسخر کر دی گئی ہے۔ ہر چیز انسان کے تابع ہے، انسان جب چاہے، جہاں چاہے اور جیسے چاہے کائنات کے ذرے ذرے پرحکومت کر سکتا ہے، قرآن پاک کی اس آیت نے اہل لب کی زندگی میں انقلاب برپا کر دیا، اور کمپیوٹر کو دیکھ کر قرآن پاک کی یہ حقیقت تو اور بھی الم نشرح ہو جاتی ہے کہ کائنات کی ہر چیز مسخر کر دی گئی ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
کمپیوٹر عصر حاضر کی اہم ضرورت ہے ، یہ ہمارے لاکھوں مسائل حل کر دیتی ہے۔ کمپیوٹر کی ایجاد ایک ایسی ایجاد ہے کہ ہماری بے شمار مشکلات آناًفا ناًدرست انداز میں حل کر دیتی ہے، یہ اعدادوشمار کو جمع کرنے اور ان کا تقابلی جائزہ لینے کے کام بھی آتا ہے، دوسرے الفاظ میں اس کی اپروچ اور ڈاٹا کاعمل انسانی دماغ سے کئی گنا بہتر اور جلدحل ہوجاتا ہے یہ معلومات کو print کرنے کی صلاحیت بھی رکھتا ہے۔
صدرِ ذی وقار!
کمپیوٹر عصر حاضر میں اللہ تعالیٰ کا انعام ہے، ایک عظیم نعمت ہے، ایک نفع بخش ایجاد ہے، جس طرح اللہ تعالیٰ نے دنیا کے لیے اپنی نعمتوں کی فراوانی فرمائی ہے، اپنے انعاماتِ رفیعہ سے عوام النّاس کو نوازا...

الفتح الربانى لترتيب مسند الامام احمد بن حنبل الشيبانى میں شیخ احمد عبدالرحمن البنا الساعاتی کا منہج و اسلوب

Former Egyptian Muḥaddithīn of the each centuries have played a well-regarded, venerated and esteemed role in services of Ḥadīth and its sciences. Their outstanding contribution in this regard has been appreciated in each century of Islamic history. Those Muḥaddithīn have left valuable work on Ḥadīth and its sciences in their popular and basic sources of Ḥadīth for coming generations. Muḥaddithīn of 20th century were not less than the former in their involvement in the field of Hadith. Their dynamic and marvelous efforts are needed to be unveiled for scholars and students of Ḥadīth. Al-shaykh Abdur Raḥmān al Banna Al sāʻātī is known as one of the prominent Egyptian Muḥaddithīn in 20th century. He made extraordinary efforts in the field of Ḥadīth and its sciences through compiling and writing various remarkable books in this regard. His marvelous work in Alfatḥ Al-Rabbānī li Tartīb Musnad Al-Imām Aḥmad bin Hanbal Al-Shaybānī on Musnad Imām Aḥmad bin Hanbal in its rearranging, categorizing and organizing its Ḥadīth is deserved to be cherished and focused on due to its significance and importance in the field of Ḥadīth. He is the first Muḥaddith who presented the Aḥādīth of Musnad in seven outstanding chapters to facilitate the researchers in their accessing to the main theme of the Musnad. In this paper the life sketch of Al-Shayk Abdur Raḥmān, his scholarly contribution in the field of Ḥadīth and his methodology in his renowned book alfatḥ al-Rabbānī has been discussed and highlighted its valuable aspects.

Comparative Studies on Recombinant Laccases of Thermiphilic Geobacillus Sbs-4S and Mesophilic Bacillus Strain R5 Origins

Laccases are multidomain copper containing proteins acting on phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. They are industrially relevant enzymes performing diverse oxidative functions including dye decolorization, food processing, organic synthesis and bio-remediation. Laccases exist in all domains of life. Laccases from fungal species are well characterized for industrial utilization. However, Laccases from bacterial genera are comparatively less characterized. In comparison with fungal laccases bacterial laccases are heat stable and halide tolerant, the properties desired for industrial applications. The present study describes the identification, cloning, gene expression and characterization of laccases from two sources (i) from thermophilic Geobacillus thermopakistaniensis and (ii) from mesophilic Bacillus subtilis strain R5. Genome search of Geobacillus thermopakistaniensis, formerly Geobacillus sp. SBS-4S, revealed the presence of an open reading frame (GenBank accession number ESU71923) annotated as laccase, (named as Gt-Lac). Gt-Lac gene was having 825 nucleotides, encoding a protein of 273 amino acids. The BLAST search showed that Gt-Lac does not display sequence similarity with characterized laccases of Bacillus subtilis, Streptomyces coelicolor and Thermus thermophilus. Gt-Lac shared highest homology with laccases of a new protein family, DUF152, like Kurthia huakuii (32%), RL5 laccase from bovine rumen metagenome (31%), and Thermobifida fusca (28%). To examine the properties of ESU71923, Gt-Lac was cloned in expression vector (pET-21a) and mobilized to E. coli for the production of recombinant enzyme. However, the purified recombinant protein did not exhibit any laccase-like activity even when produced in the presence of copper ions. Expression of Gt-Lac gene at low temperatures and in the presence of zinc also failed to produce an active enzyme. Atomic absorption spectroscopy could detect only zinc atom instead of four coppers that most laccases possess. Based on these results it was suggested that ESU71923 does not encode a functional laccase. The laccase activity was, therefore, purified from G. thermopakistaniensis cells and N-terminal amino acid residues of the enzyme were determined. These residues matched the N-terminal sequence of an open reading frame annotated as a copper oxidase (ESU72270). In order to characterize the enzyme, recombinant ESU72270 (named as Gt-Cuo) was prepared in Escherichia coli. Gt-Cuo gene encoded a protein of 503 amino acids with a molecular weight of about 60 kDa. The recombinant protein was found to exhibit a negligible amount of laccase activity when produced in the absence of copper in the growth medium. However, the recombinant protein exhibited significantly high laccase activity when produced in the presence of copper. The recombinant enzyme showed highest activity at 60 °C and a pH of 7–7.5. Gt-Cuo was copper dependent and a five-fold increase in laccase activity was observed in the presence of 100 μM copper sulfate. When using halide donors, a 7-fold and 5-fold increase in laccase activity was observed with 500 mM NaBr and NaCl, respectively. Gt-Cuo showed good stability towards organic solvents. Moreover Gt-Cuo was able to decolorize several synthetic dyes with highest rate of color removal observed for indigo caramine. In conclusion, this is the first report about the identification of gene, from genus Geobacillus, responsible for true laccase activity having potential to be used for biotechnological applications. The third gene of the study, (named as Bsu-Lac) laccase from Bacillus subtilis was composed of 513 amino acids with calculated molecular weight of 58498.99 Da. When expressed in E. coli the recombinant Bsu-Lac was produced as inclusion bodies which were tried to refold by denaturing in urea but the refolded sample was inactive. Co-expression of Bsu-Lac gene with a chaperonin gene also failed to solubilize the inclusion bodies. Finally expression of Bsu-Lac gene was taken in pET-28a(+) at low temperature and the protein was purified by nickel affinity chromatography. The enzyme was found to function optimally at 55 °C and a pH of 7. The laccase activity of Bsu-Lac was dependant on copper only during protein production rather than adding in assay mixture, showing the importance of copper for proper protein folding. The enzyme was stable in 10% of all tested organic solvents. The Bsu-Lac activity was stable at 80 °C for 150 min. When the protein was incubated with various concentrations of urea, structural stability was found even at 8 M urea. The recombinant protein was able to degrade various synthetic dyes with the highest rate of dye degradation for orange G, thus having potential for various industrial applications.
