المبحث السابع: عالم الرجال وبروین شاکر
من المعروف منذ العصور القدیمۃ أن الرجل ھو الآمر والناھي للمرأۃ وأنہ ھو الحاکم وفي یدیہ القیادۃ والسلطۃ، والقوانین القدیمۃ التي جعلت المرأۃ ھي خادمۃ الرجل وأعتبروھا ناقصۃ العقل والدین، وفي کل مرحلۃ جعل الشعراء المرأۃ ھي زینۃ الأشعار ونصبوا لھا التمثال لحسنھا وجمالھا، وجعلوها دُمیۃ متحرکۃ في عالم الرجال وجعلوها ملکا من أملاك الرجل لا غیر، وأحیاناً لاموا عزھا وشرفھا، وأحیانا اتھموھا بأنھا الفتنة وأنھا المصیبۃ وما إلی ذلک۔ ولکن بروین شاکر أعطت للمرأۃ مکانۃ رفیعۃ ومنزلۃ عالیۃ تستحق المرأۃ ذلک التقدیر وذلک الإحترام، فقد أعطت بروین شاکر صورۃ واضحۃ لمشاعر وأحاسیس المرأۃ ووضحت مکانتھا بأن المرأۃ لیست لعبۃ في عالم الرجال، إنما لھا شخصیتھا ومنزلتھا ومکانتھا العالیۃ، ولھا مرتبۃ رفیعۃ تختلف عن مرتبۃ الرجال، فقد خالفت الشاعرۃ عالم الرجال وأعطت ودافعت عن حقوق المرأۃ وحاولت أن تعطیٰ للمرأۃ منزلتھا اللائقۃ بھا وجعلت الرجال یقفون عند حدودھم دون الدخول إلی حقوق المرأۃ۔
وکانت بروین شاکر في الصف الأول من الشاعرات البارعات ومنھن عصمت جغتائی، کشور ناھید، فھمیدۃ ریاض، امرتا پریتم ولکن شاعرتنا أیضا لھا مکانۃ خاصۃ منفردۃ في عالم الشعر والأدب النسائي۔
مکانۃ بروین شاکر في الأدب الأردو
من المؤکد أن نساء الشعر الأردو لھن مکانۃ خاصۃ في الأدب الأردو ، وأنھن تقدمن (نساء الأدب الأردو) مع الرجال نحو التقدم والتطور منذ البدایۃ وأنھن سرن قدماً بقدم مع الرجال منذ الزمن القدیم السابق لم یکن للنساء مکانۃ خاصۃ ولم یکن لھن الجرأۃ الکافیۃ في إظھار شخصیتھن۔ وفي بدایۃ الأمر کانت النساء تحسبن نفوسھن فتنۃ لذلک يحاولن أن يختبئن ولکن في الشعر الحدیث ظھرت المرأۃ بصورتھا وجمالھا وشعورھا وحقیقتھا وآمالھا وآلامھا، بسعادتھا وتعاستھا، أمام الرجال بحقیقۃ صادقۃ وکانت بروین شاکر تعتبر من الصف الأول من النساء اللاتي قمن بالدفاع عن حقوق المرأۃ وحمایۃ شخصیتھا وھُناک الکثیر من الکاتبات...
Khawājah Obāidullah Multānī’s Mystical Pattern of Preaching in Establishing Peace and Harmony and Its Contemporary Meaningfulness: An Analytical Study A Sufi, literally practically in denotation and connotation is such a figure whose heart is naturally and habitually free of pollution of pride, prejudice, sectarianism, ethnicity, linguicism, and hatred for animate and inanimate things on any ground. This purity of sentiments and sanctity of thoughts of Sufis of Islam have always influenced not only the morality of the Muslims but also attracted the people of anti-Islamic faiths. Human history in general and Islamic history, in particular, is replete with such instances as prove that where logistics and warring tactics of the Muslims failed to produce any positive and healthy effects, these were the unseen swords of Sufis' unmatched conduct and exceedingly supreme love for humanity which bore results of ever-lasting magnitude. Due to the safe and unbiased style of the preaching of Sufis of Islam, foes became friends, twisted pathways became straight high ways of peace and prosperity, the grieved became happy, the downtrodden became the champions and the rejected ones became the accepted ones. Sufis have always been the torchlight and beacon-house equally for the believers and the non-believers. Sufis’ preaching style has been the epitome of the style of Prophet of Islam.
Biodiesel is one of the renewable and eco-friendly fuels which can alleviate the concerns associated with fossil such as fluctuating prices and disastrous effects on the environment including global warming. The biofuel is usually produced from transesterification of vegetable oils and consists of alkyl esters. The chemical method of producing biodiesel has several drawbacks while the use of edible vegetable oils for biodiesel raises several concerns such as food vs. fuel crisis. The current work investigated biodiesel production from non-edible Salvadora persica seed oil (SPSO) and crude coconut oil (CCO) catalyzed by Burkholderia cepacia lipase in a solvent-free system. The biodiesel yield produced from these feedstock was compared and the effect of acyl acceptor (ethanol) in different ratios on biofuel production was determined. The fatty acid composition of SPSO and CCO was determined through gas chromatography and their average molecular weight was calculated. Different molar ratios of oil and ethanol were employed in transesterification for biodiesel production at 50?C, 7.0 pH with 50 mg lipase. Thin layer chromatography of oils and biodiesel samples was performed while the percentage yield was determined through gas chromatography. The results showed that medium chain fatty acids make up to 53.88% and 76.89% of the fatty acid content of SPSO and CCO respectively. Both are good candidates for enzymatic transesterification to produce medium chain biodiesel. The species of Salvadora persica (Pilu) has potential of a biodiesel crop. The average molecular weight was calculated as 749.53 g/mol for SPSO and 664.57 g/mol for CCO. Maximum biodiesel yield (around 70%) was obtained at 1:4 oil to ethanol molar ratio from both oils followed by a gradual decline at higher ratios. The gas chromatographic analysis of Salvadora biodiesel at 1:4 molar ratio showed that the yield of individual esters was mostly of medium and long chain fatty acids. In contrast the analysis of coconut biodiesel revealed that it consists mainly of the esters of medium chain fatty acids. Burkholderia cepacia lipase is a promising biocatalyst for production of biodiesel from SPSO and CCO provided the right conditions including optimum oil to ethanol molar ratio. Since free lipase was used in this study, stable yields of biodiesel as well as of individual fatty acid ethyl esters would have been achieved if any form of immobilized lipase would have been used.
