مولوی ابوالحسن علی فراہی اصلاحی
مولوی ابوالحسن علی فراہی اصلاحی ناظم مدرسۃ الاصلاح سرائے میر کئی ماہ سے بیمار تھے۔ علاج کے باوجود مرض بڑھتا گیا۔ بالاخر ۳۱؍ جنوری ۱۹۸۷ء کو وقت موعود آپہنچا اور رحلت کرگئے، اناﷲ و انا الیہ راجعون۔
وہ ترجمان القرآن مولانا حمیدالدین فراہیؒ کے حقیقی پوتے تھے، ان کی تعلیم مدرسۃ الاصلاح کے علاوہ شبلی نیشنل اسکول و کالج میں ہوئی تھی، گھر کے خوش حال تھے، اس لئے کوئی ملازمت کرنے کے بجائے زمین اور زمینداری کی دیکھ بھال کرتے رہے، لیکن قومی و ملی کاموں سے دلچسپی تھی، تقسیم کے زمانہ میں جمعیۃ علماء کانگریس کے پرجوش حامی تھے، تقسیم کے بعد صوبہ کانگریس کے ممبر بھی ہوئے، پھر پرانے کانگریسیوں کی طرح اس سے دل برداشتہ ہوکر لوک دل میں چلے گئے مگر اس سے بھی نباہ نہ کرسکے اور اب سیاسی جھمیلوں سے الگ ہوکر صرف مدرسۃ الاصلاح کی خدمت کے لئے وقف ہوگئے تھے، جس سے اپنے دادا کی یادگار ہونے کی بناء پر ہمیشہ بہت تعلق رکھا، پہلے اس کے نائب ناظم ہوئے اور اب کئی برس سے ناظم ہوگئے تھے۔
وہ جس اخلاص، ایثار و قربانی سے کسی معاوضہ کے بغیر مدرسہ کی خدمت انجام دے رہے تھے، اس کی مثال کسی دینی مدرسہ میں کم ہی ملے گی، ان کے دور میں مدرسہ میں کئی عمارتیں تعمیر ہوئی، بعض مفید کام بھی انجام پائے، یہاں ان کے دادا کی یاد میں دائرہ حمیدیہ قائم ہوا تھا جس کو متحرک بنانے کے بڑے خواہشمند تھے، مرحوم کو دارالمصنفین سے بھی گہرا لگاؤ تھا۔ ان کے دادا مولانا حمیدالدین فراہیؒ کی سرپرستی میں اس کا آغاز ہوا تھا، ان کے بعد ان کے چھوٹے بھائی مولوی حاجی رشید الدین فراہی کو بھی اس ادارہ سے بڑی دلچسپی اور ہمدردی رہی۔
مرحوم مرنجان مرنج شخص تھے، طبیعت...
Since about the middle of the 19th century, numerous attempts have been made by Muslim scholars to interpret the Qur’ān to the modern world. By far the largest output of literature produced in this connection, whether in the form of commentaries, critiques or articles in periodical, has been in Urdu, English and Arabic. But whatever the medium of expression employed, the net result is still is far from satisfactory. Moulana Abul Kalam Azad (1888-1958) was one of the most notable Muslim figures in Sub-continent. The Tarjuman-al-Qur’ān is regarded on all hands as his main contribution to Islamic learning. His original plan was to prepare side by side two companion volumes to this great of his, one entitled Tafsir-al-Bayana affording a detailed commentary of the Qur’ān, the other entitled Muqaddima, to serve as prolegomena to the Tarjuman -al-Qur’ān. The circumstances of his life did not allow him the time that he needed to execute the two projects. Moulana Azad, s thinking and philosophy about commentary of the Qur’ān is very clear: ''Explain the Qur’ān in the manner of the Qur’ān ''. This paper attempts to enlighten many aspects of Moulana Azad, s commentary of Surat-al-Kahaf and explores his contribution and Comparative Analysis for other selected Urdu Tafasir of his era.
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common acute cardiovascular disease. Missed diagnosis is responsible for most preventable deaths associated with PE. Artefacts from cardiac and breathing motion are a main pitfall. Advances in Computed Tomographic imaging have enabled rapid imaging in an attempt to overcome these pitfalls.
Objective: To compare image quality when using high pitch free breathing versus standard pitch breath holding Computed Tomographic Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) using a dual source scanner.
Methods: This was a randomised control trial whereby patients referred to the radiology department for CTPA examination for suspected pulmonary embolism were randomly selected into two arms: Arm A underwent the standard CTPA protocol using a pitch of 1.2 with breath-holding instructions while those in arm B underwent the examination using a pitch of 3.2 with quiet free breathing. Two blinded reviewers subjectively assessed the image quality while a single blinded reviewer recorded objective image parameters. The primary endpoint was to demonstrate non-inferiority of high pitch free breathing CTPA. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± SD. Categorical variables were expressed as frequency (percentage). For calculation of statistically significant differences between both groups, Chi-square test was performed to assess categorical variables and t test for continuous variables. P-values of ≤0.05 were considered statistically significant. Cohen kappa testing was used to assess the degree of agreement between the 2 independent readings, with results expressed in terms of kappa statistics and proportional agreement.
Results: A total of 112 patients were randomly selected into the two arms of the study. The patients in the high pitch group received a lower mean radiation dose compared to those in the standard pitch group (P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the mean main pulmonary artery attenuation between the two groups (P=0.215). There was no significant difference in the qualitative analysis of the images between the two groups. Inter reader agreement for the subjective measurements ranged from moderate to almost perfect agreement between the 2 independent readers.
Conclusion: Main pulmonary artery contrast opacification in high pitch CTPA is non-inferior to standard pitch CTPA using a dual source 256 slice scanner. High pitch dual source CTPA can be performed on all patients with no compromise on the image quality and with the added advantage of reduction in the radiation dose.
