جو بادۂ جاں چھلک رہا ہے سنبھال لینا خطا سے پہلے
یہ رند ساقی سے ملتمس ہے عطا ہو مجھ کو عطا سے پہلے
جو لو لگانے کی آرزو ہو یہ جان لینا کہ اس نگر میں
وفا خطا میں شمار ہو گی کہ لب جلیں گے دعا سے پہلے
تری نگہ سے جو بچ گیا وہ اسیر و مجرم خرد کا ہو گا
مسیحا و خضر منتظر ہیں، علاج ہو گا دوا سے پہلے
فنا ہوئے ہیں وہ سارے فتنے، وہ سارے محشر لپٹ گئے ہیں
تری جوانی کی بات پہنچی ہے آج بادِ صبا سے پہلے
ہے چاک دامن مگر فضاؔ کی ہے دید اب بھی سعید مجھ کو
نشاطِ دل کا یہی ہے چارہ فنا سے پہلے، قضا سے پہلے
Although several studies have investigated the contribution of Muslim women about their lives and works in large corpus of the ḥadīth sciences until now, but much are needed to be explored. Doubtlessly 'Amrah bint 'Abd al-Raḥmān had contributed to the large corpus of the ḥadīth sciences and also the core of Islamic knowledge parallel to her male counterparts. By highlighting her efforts for learning and her struggle for transmission of fundamental text, reveals how a female successor acquired exemplary reputations in her era. Particularly, her rich insight, deep knowledge in ḥadīth sciences and exemplary piety attracted students and placed parallel to her male counterparts in Islamic knowledge of her time. In sum, this study not merely sheds light upon the prolific contribution of an eminent female successor 'Amrah bint 'Abd al-Raḥmān in ḥadīth narrations, but argues that these scholarly females should be given more credit for being interacting educators and not just transmitters. Doubtlewssly, the study would be helpful to revise our understandings of Islamic knowledge during early period of Islam regarding gendered dynamics and their great contribution to dissemination and transmission of classical text and Islamic knowledge.
Human body is very delicate towards harsh environmental variations. High energy UV radiations intentionally or unintentionally interact with our skin and eyes, causing some acute effect such as, photokeratitis, skin aging and also some chronic effects like melanoma skin cancer and DNA damage. Clothing is an important precautionary measure to combat with these damages, but low weight and high porosity of cotton fabric make it unfit for protection against UV rays. Hence, to improve the protection factor of white cotton fabric, computational approach was utilized to search the effective UV absorbers for cotton fabric. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) theory with three functionals was utilized to study the design molecules and results indicated that all the five design molecules (1-5) absorbed inthe UV region of the solar spectrum. These deigned molecules were synthesized via a condensation reaction and their structure confirmation attained through UV/Vis., FTIR and ESI-MS analysis. The theoretically calculated λmax and experimental λmax of all the five UV absorbers were in close agreement. The cottonfabric was treated with designed and synthesized UV absorbers via the exhaust method of dying and its processing conditions optimized by adapting a statistical design “central composite rotatable design” of response surface methodology. The outcomes directed that all the synthesized molecules showed 65-78 % exhaustion and 62-80 % fixation at the acquired optimized conditions. Maximum exhaustion with cotton fabric was presented by 1 and minimum shown by 5. The protection factor of the treated cotton fabric was assessed and results directed that the treated fabric with 1-4 fells in the very good Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) range at 3 % concentration while fabric treated with 5 fells in good range. The UPF increased as follows: 5 <4 < 2<3<1. Whiteness index test results revealed that all the synthesized molecules did not decrease the whiteness of the fabric as much at 3 % concentration, but after exposition to light fastness testing decreased its whiteness little bit as compared to standard. Washing test results indicated that UPF of treated fabric decreased after washing process, with UV absorbers (1-4), it remained in the very good range of UPF after ten washings. While the 5 showed more reduction in UPF value after washing. Degradation studies revealed that synthesized molecules were degradable by safer advance oxidation process technology. Current study opened a new prospect for search of such molecules having more persistent nature after laundry action.
