اب انہیں ڈھونڈ چراغِ رخِ زیبا لے کر
آغا شورش کا شمیری ایک دن بھٹو صاحب کے پاس گئے تو بھٹو مرحوم نے کہا :آکسفورڈ یونیورسٹی میں میری لڑکی اور لڑکا دو نوں پڑھتے تھے ۔آپ بھی اپنی لڑکی اور لڑکے کو بھیج دو ،حکومت وظیفہ دے گی ۔
شورش نے کہا میں مشرقی طرزکا آ دمی ہوں ۔مغربی تہذیب میں اولاد کو بھیج کر خراب نہیں کر نا چاہتا ۔
تو بھٹو مرحوم نے کہا کہ شادمان کا لونی ،لاہورمیں دو پلاٹ پڑے ہیں ،تم کم ریٹ پر حکومت سے خرید لو اور ایک کو بیچ کر اپنا پلاٹ بنا لو ۔تو شورش نے جواب دیا :جناب سر چھپانے کے لیے جگہ موجود ہے ۔میں کوٹھی نہیں بنا نا چاہتا ۔
شورش اپنے گھر واپس آئے اور سارا قصہ اپنی بیٹی کو سنا دیا ۔تو بیٹی نے کہا کہ :ابو بھٹو صاحب پلاٹ دے رہے تھے تو لے لیتے ،سرکاری زمین ہے ہم پیسے جمع کرا دیتے ہیں بات صرف اتنی ہے کہ وہ کوئی اور لے جائے گا ۔بس ہمیں رعایت ہی مل جاتی ۔آپ نے ہمارے مستقبل کے ساتھ زیادتی کی ہے ۔
تو جواب میں شورشؒ نے فرمایا کہ :دنیا یہیں رہ جائے گی ۔میں بھٹو صاحب سے ایک ایسا تحفہ لے کر آ یا ہوں جو قبر میں مجھے کام آئے گا بس یہ بات کہنی تھی ۔
تحریک ختم نبوت کے اکابرین بھٹو مرحوم اور شورش ؒ کے درمیان کی گفتگو سے بالکل ہی لا علم تھے ۔کچھ ہی دنوں بعد شورشؒ بیمار ہوئے اور انتقال فر ما گئے ۔جنازے میں حضرت مفتی محمود صاحب ؒ مولانا غلام غوث ہزاروی ؒ ،مصطفی کھر ،کوثر نیازی ،معراج خالد ،حفیظ پیرزادہ اور دیگر حضرات شریک...
In view of the geo-politics of the twenty first century where despite the concerted efforts of the international community to maintain peace on the globe, the still is confronted with the wars and its worst consequences. One of the reasons for such unhappy developments is that religion is most of the time considered as war-mongering. This may be somewhat true in case of certain cases; however, the case of Islam is totally different. The very word Islam stands for peace. It was revealed on Prophet Muhammad (SAW) who remained an icon of peace and mercy for the whole Mankind. This paper was an attempt to highlight some of the guiding injunctions of Islam together with the peace-related overtures of the Last Prophet of Allah. The problem under study was to explore, “The Holy Prophet (SAW) as an embodiment of Peace—an analysis of extracts from the text of The Holy Quran and Sunnah”. The objectives were: 1, to highlight some of the commandments of Islam regarding peace; and 2, to pinpoint some of the peace-promoting instances from the life of the Holy Prophet (SAW). The methodology adopted was to highlight some of the peace-promoting text of the Holy Quran coupled with instances from the life of the Holy Prophet (SAW). It was found that Islam stands as religion for peace. The last messenger of Allah was a complete embodiment of peace in His disposition and practice. Hence the very text of the Holy Quran as ell as the life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) provide some very cherished ideals and norms for the establishment of a peaceful global community.
Concrete is being utilized as construction material in the construction industry worldwide. Nevertheless, it has some inherited deficiencies in terms of tensile strength, flexural strength and durability; such deficiencies lead its limitation on application for repair and rehabilitation of existing structures. In order to improve the inbred limitation of concrete, additives like; blast furnace slag, fly ash, rice husk ash, silica flume and other pozzolans are being blended in its production. In fact, inclusion of these materials not only improves the concrete, but also utilizes the abundantly generated wastes thereby contributing to the environmental cleansing. In addition to that lowering of the construction cost and reduction of CO2 emission can be achieved to a relative extent. The utilization of RHA as a cementing material in concrete improves compressive and tensile strength of concrete to a greater extent. Polymeric compounds are being added in concrete to improve strength and durability, but limited utilization of such compounds is reported because of their cost. Hence a new composite, i.e. „Rice Husk Ash PolymerModified Concrete‟ (RHAPMC) is envisaged to use RHA as a supplementary cementing material so as to make concrete more economical and to mitigate some persistent environmental problems. Moreover, for enhancing impermeability of RHA blended concrete a re-dispersible polymer powder is added. The present study is mainly concerned with the techniques necessary to develop and characterize RHAPMC matrix. In the first phase of this study, cement is replaced with extracted locally available RHA which is obtained under different temperatures and burning durations. For in-depth characterization of the extracted RHA, in terms of chemical composition, loss on ignition and strength activity index has been carried out. It has been found that the extracted RHA at a temperature of 800oC for 2hr duration is more efficient as pozzolanic material. Chemical composition, strength activity index and loss on ignition meet the requirement of a pozzolanic material to be used in concrete as per ASTM C 618 standard. Cement was replaced with RHA (800oC-2hr) at dosages of 1 to 15% by weight of cement to study workability, compressive and tensile strength of concrete. A significant strength improvement at 10% replacement of cement with RHA is obvious in experimental outcome but impermeability decreases. In the second phase to improve the impermeability and to further increase strength of RHA blended concrete 1 to 15%dosages of re-dispersible polymer powder (RPP) was added. Workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, bond between steel and concrete, unit weight, water absorption, water permeability, carbonation effect and corrosion potential were investigated. Furthermore, to examine performance of RHAPMC matrix, standard size beams were cast with developed material and load carrying capacity, deflection and mode of failure were examined. It is found that beams cast with RHAPMC improved load carrying capacity with more deflection and prolonged ductile failure as compared to control beams. Based on the conducted research it can be concluded that the investigated physical, mechanical and durability properties of RHAPMC produced with 10% cement replacement by RHA and the inclusion of 5% RPP (by wt. of cement) along with 0.8% super plasticizer (by wt. of total binder) significantly improved than that of control concrete.
