63. Al-Munafiqun/The Hypocrites
I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah
The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone
63:01
a. When the hypocrites - disbelievers showing belief - come to you, O The Prophet, they
pretend to say:
b. ‘We bear witness that you are certainly Allah’s Messenger.’
c. And without the need for the testimony of the hypocrites, Allah knows very well that you are indeed HIS Messenger,
d. but Allah also bears witness that the hypocrites are definitely liars – saying what they do not mean.
63:02
a. They choose their swearing as a cover-up, a deceit;
b. while in reality, they obstruct people from the Way of Allah.
c. Surely they - evil indeed is what they do.
63:03
a. That is what has happened because first they believed and then inwardly they disbelieved.
b. Hence, their hearts have been sealed -
c. such that they do not comprehend the concept of truth.
63:04
a. And whenever you would look at them, you would be impressed by their physical stature,
b. and when they speak, you would listen to their speech attentively.
c. But, in fact, they are just like logs of timber/wood, stacked-up against a wall.
d. They reckon that every rebuke they hear is directed against them.
e. These are the real and bitter enemies;
f. so beware of them!
g. May Allah destroy them!
h. How deluded they are!
63:05
a. And whenever they would be asked:
b. ‘Come to offer apologies and let Allah’s Messenger seek forgiveness for you’ of hypocrisy and deceit.
c. They would twist their heads in arrogance,
d. and you would see...
Man's struggle, it seems, revolves most of the time around his natural urges for food and sex. Most of the crimes on the earth are caused by these two forces. That is why every religion attempts to address and regulate these forces within man. Islam seeks to control and regulate these forces through sawm ( f**) while Hinduism does the same through barat (>s*4) The present paper represents an attempt to make comparative analysis of Islam and Hinduism from that angle so as to highlight religious sanctions, individual and collective ramifications of these two religious practice
The diversity of macroinvertebrates assemblages in wheat-weeds and sugarcane-weeds agroecosystems were recorded. In addition, phytochemical potential of weeds recorded from both crops were determined to evaluate assessment of synergies of the synchronized biodiversity of wheat and sugarcane crops in Faisalabad district. A total of 72 species of macroinvertebrates (n=4228) were recorded from wheat-weeds agroecosystem. Of these, 58 species inhabited both wheat and weeds while the remaining 14 were recorded only from weeds. Arthropoda (92.41%) and the Mollusca (7.59%) were most recorded macro-invertebrate taxa. Hemiptera (29.09%), Coleoptera (24.77%), Diptera (23.07%), Orthoptera (5.34%) and Pulmonata (8.69%) were the dominant groups of macroinvertebrates in wheat. Diptera (30.92%), Hemiptera (26.49%), Coleoptera (13.53%), Hymenoptera (9.97%) Pulmonata (6.81) and Orthoptera (6.16%) on the other hand, were the most recorded macroinvertebrates on wheat weeds. A higher number of macroinvertebrates (n= 2930) was recorded at the edges in comparison to the centers (n= 1298) of wheat fields. The diversity (H′), richness (S) and evenness (E) indicated a highly significant difference in species composition in most of the habitat combinations. A total of 232 species of macroinvertebrates (n = 5665) were recorded from sugarcane- weeds agroecosystem. Of these, 53 were recorded only from sugarcane while 61 were recorded exclusively from weeds. Arthropods were the most abundant group of macroinvertebrates collected from sugarcane (94.26%) and its associated weeds (98.22%). Hemiptera Coleoptera, Diptera, Orthoptera and Araneae collectively constituted 82% of the macroinvertebrates. A comparison of the diversity (H′) values indicated a highly significant difference in species richness (S) and evenness (E) in all the habitat combinations. The diversity (H′), richness (S) and evenness (E) were higher at the edge than the center of both habitats under consideration.Seeds of fifteen weeds and vegetative parts (roots, stem, and leaves) of seventeen weeds were subjected to analysis to evaluate their phytochemicals. Flavinoids, saponins, tannins, steroids, glycosides, alkaloids, anthrequinones and terpenoids were recorded. This baseline study documents that weeds provide phytomorphic heterogeneity for heterogeneity of macroinvertebrates feeding, breeding and over wintering and taking refuge in various niches. They seem help in maintaining a balance between predator-prey population dynamics and in turn, warrant sustainable crop production with least amount of pesticides and fertilizers used. The weeds that are already being used as traditional medicines could have great economic potential to be used as synergizers fortifying the wheat flour quality (as seeds) and green manure as well.
