خاندان مراتب اور ادب
سیّد مراتب علی اختر کے اجداد سے لے کر اب تک گیلانی سادات ادب کے پودے کی آبیاری میں مصروف ہیں۔ یوں تو تصوف اور ادب کا چولی دامن کا ساتھ ہے اس لئے اہل تصوف کا ادب شناس اور صاحب ذوق ہونا لازمی امر ہے مگر اس خاندان کی ہستیاں جنھوں نے خود شعر کہے ان کا ذکر کچھ یوں ہے۔
حضرت شیخ غوث محمد اُچی
آپ سادات شیخو کے جدّامجد ہیں آپ صاحبِ دیوان شاعر تھے اور آپ کا دیوان ’’دیوانِ قادری‘‘ کے نام سے موجود ہے۔(۱)پروفیسر ڈاکٹر محمد جمیل قلندر اس پر تحقیق کر رہے ہیں۔آپ مشاہیر و اکابرسادات حسنی ہیں حضرت غوث ِاعظمؒ سے نسبت آبائی ہے۔ صاحبِ عظمت و کرامت، واقفِ منقول ومعقول تھے۔ عبادت و ریاضت اور زہدوورعمیں یکتائے روزگار تھے۔
سیّد اصغر علی گیلانی صاحبِ شجرۃ الانوار رقم طراز ہیں کہ سیّد محمد کے بزرگوں میں سے اوّل سید ابوالعباس بن سید صفی الدین سیدعبدالقادر جیلانیؒ اپنے چھوٹے بھائی سید ابو سلیمان کے ساتھ 656ہجری میں ہلاکو خاں تاتاری کے حملہ بغداد اور قتل و غارت کے وقت بغداد سے نکل کر روم آگئے۔ پھر جب کچھ امن و امان ہوا تو حلب میں آکر اقامت گزین ہوگئے۔ سید محمد غوث یہیں پیدا ہوئے۔ تعلیم و تربیت اپنے والد سے حاصل کی۔ عنفوان شباب میں پدر بزرگوار کی اجازت سے مختلف ممالک اسلامیہ کی سیر و سیاحت کو نکلے ، حرمین الشریفین کی حج و زیارت سے مشرف ہوئے۔ عراق، عرب، ایران، خراسان، ترکستان اور سندھ و ہند کی طویل سیاحت کی۔ یہاں کے اکابر علماء وفضلا اور مشائخ و صوفیا سے ملاقاتیں کیں۔ لاہور بھی تشریف لائے۔چندے یہاں قیام کیا پھر ناگور چلے گئے۔ یہاں ایک مسجد تعمیر کی۔...
Societies follow a traditional value. Traditions evolve and are adapted according to the wish of majority of the people. Cultures mostly are under the disposition of the patriarchal system, a system dominated by men, where women are discriminated and subjugated because they hold a vulnerable position in the society. The present study focuses on equality of women present in Quetta Balochistan, effected by the cultural values present. Data was selected from seven Government Girls degree Colleges of Quetta based on random sampling method. The researcher used SSPS tool to evaluate the data. Results highlighted that cultural values are affecting the females here in Quetta and they are not treated as equals to their male counterparts.
Scientific publications are growing exponentially. For example, more than 50 million journal papers have been published till now, and more than 2 million journal papers are added to the scientific knowledge every year. The published conference papers are in billions, and millions others are added every year. The world famous scientific databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed etc index millions of such scientific papers, and that also despite the fact that their index either belongs to specialized domain or it is selective. There is another comprehensive index known as Google Scholar, indexes huge scientific knowledge from different domains. These systems make available the scientific knowledge to researchers. The advancement in research is always possible by standing on the shoulders of others. However, when users attempt to identify relevant papers from the mentioned systems or other similar systems, they are given millions of papers and are asked to select the most relevant papers manually by skimming those millions of papers. This creates frustration, and generally all of the selected papers do not belong to the list of papers which the users must read. In this task, many important papers are overlooked by the users as well. The identification of relevant papers from such a big data has attracted a number of researchers across the globe to find solutions to this problem. The contemporary approaches use a variety of techniques for the identification of the relevant documents such as content based approaches, metadata based approaches, collaborative filtering based approaches, co-citation analysis, and bibliographic analysis etc. However, the state-of-the-art research lacks in many directions such as its inability to find the nature of relationship between scientific documents and its failure to find how strongly two scientific documents are linked up, based on their relationship strength. To address these issues, this thesis designs, implements, and evaluates a novel approach that facilitates researchers to identify the most relevant papers in their domains. The proposed approach identifies the most relevant papers from the list of cited-by papers for the cited paper. This thesis works on the in-text citation frequencies and in-text citation patterns to identify the most relevant papers. In-text citation frequency is the number of occurrences of citations of one paper in the text of the other paper. In-text citation frequency patterns are the in-text citation evidences in different sections of the paper. The system has been implemented as a prototype for 3 CiteSeer. The proposed system has been evaluated using a number of user studies. The proposed approach shows encouraging results and assists the scientific community to identify the most relevant papers from a huge list of papers.
