Farmer Field School (FFS) always aims to facilitate farmers about field ecology and integrated crop management. The study was conducted in 2012-13 to analyze the activities of Farmer Field School approach, interaction of extension personnel/facilitators with farmers and adoption ratio of FFS approach. It also investigates the different stages of crops and their associated management practices and to determine increase in per acre yield of the crop and profit maximization margin per acre. A study of bitter gourd crop was conducted in ten villages of district Charsadda and the study of tomato crop was conducted in ten villages of district Malakand. Fifteen farmers were selected randomly from each village on the basis of 60% of FFS population and making sample size of 300. Both primary and secondary data were collected from farmers and department of agricultural extension respectively. Structured interview schedule was developed and each farmer was interviewed personally. The study was based on comparison of cost, yield and income of bitter gourd and tomato before and after FFS. Paired t-test was conducted using SPSS for analysis. Result of the study show that agricultural extension department has brought a positive change in the attitude of farmers through FFS approach. About 69% of the respondents were growing bitter gourd in Charsadda between the ages of 31-50 years, Majority 77% of respondents was literate and 23% were illiterate. Average land holding size was 9.89 acres; Cost of fertilizer, crop protection from insect pest and crop protection from diseases was reduced by Rs. 2264.17, Rs. 3379.97and Rs. 3181.19 respectively. The cost of seed and cost of farm yard manure was increased by Rs.1923.07 and Rs. 1204.66 respectively while bitter gourd yield was increased by 988 Kg/acre from 17384.60 to 18372.60. In district Malakand66% of the respondents were between the age group of 31-50 years, 58% of respondents were literate while 42.0% were illiterate. Cost of seed, crop protection from insect pest and crop protection from diseases was reduced by Rs. 210.67, Rs. 2592.10 and Rs. 3127.98 respectively. The cost of fertilizers and cost of farm yard manure was increased by Rs.1548.87 and Rs. 1151.33 respectively, while tomato yield was increased by 1585.03 kg/acre from 7663.87 to 9248.90 kg/acre. It is concluded that empirical activities of FFS approach is not only beneficial and useful but enhanced the agricultural productivity. Interaction of extension agents with farmers increased awareness and propagated 11 new technologies related to tomato and bitter gourd resultantly improved the socio-economic conditions of farmers. It is recommended that extension department should extend developmental activities through participatory FFS approach. Trainings, seminars and refresher courses should be arranged for both FFS facilitators and farmers.

مولانا عبدالعزیز

مولانا عبدالعزیز گوجرانوالہ
دو ماہ ہوئے کہ مولانا عبدالعزیز صاحب خطیب و امام جامع مسجد گوجرانوالہ نے جو دیوبند کے عالم اور وقت کے بڑے محدث تھے، وفات پائی، انہوں نے محاح و مسانید کی مختلف کتابوں کی فہرستیں بطور اطراف بڑی محنت سے لکھی تھیں، جن میں صرف بخاری کی فہرست نبراس الساری فی اطراف البخاری کے نام سے چھپی ہے، مرحوم نے مجھے لکھا تھا کہ مسند ابن حنبل کی بھی ایک فہرست بنائی ہے، اور وہ اس کے چھپوانے کی فکر میں تھے، کیا اچھا ہو اگر ان کی یادگار میں ان کی یہ کتاب گوجرانوالہ کے قدرداں چھپوا سکیں، یاوہ اس نسخہ کو کسی قدر شناس کے سپرد کریں، کہ وہ اس کو چھپوا کر اس فیض کو عام کرے۔ (سید سلیمان ندوی، دسمبر ۱۹۴۰ء)

 

بیوہ عورت کی کفالت سیرت طیبہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی روشنی میں

Holy Prophet (PBUH) has been made blessing for Humanity, and the being of Prophet (PBUH) is such an ocean of blessings that no any strata of society is derived of  by his teachings. Before the arrival of Holy Prophet (PBUH), the weak strata of society used to be oppressed in all its forms and manifestations, and suffered all sort of atrocity and cohesion. It is very core to the Teachings of Prophet (PBUH) that, it restored the rights of former oppressed class and brought its status equal to all. The list of oppressed and weak strata of society remained long, but our discussion is confined to the widow. Before Islam, the status of widow was very deplorable and she was ground under the oppression of all other strata of society. Even though in some religions, she was burnt alive with the corpse of husband. And somewhere her second marriage was denied and somewhere so on. But, a teaching of Islam and Holy Prophet (PBUH) has given a very crucial, respectable and safe as well as significant place to her in society. This article deals with this subject in detail, with solid references from different resources. In the end this articles carries suggestion for the welfare and development of widows.

Miracle is the necessity to verify ones claim of prophet hood.The prophacy of last messenger of Allah- Hazrat Mohamad (PBUH) is also reliant on several miracles. Holy Quran is the one of thoese miracles which were given to Holy Prophet (PBUH).This is the miracle which has the capability of proving his prophecy till the end of this world .No one could bring reponse against the opened challenge of the Holy Quran.This element proves the uniqueness of his Holy Book and that all are its contents are based on righteousness .Allah Almighty has adopted various approaches in the Book.Each approach is adopted for a specific purpose .One of these approaches is the “Emphatic Approach”. Emphatic Approach is the device through which a speaker makes his statement strong and sturdy. In this research paper I have tried to start point out in volume 28 and 29 where the Allah Almighty has adopted Emphatic Approach to strengthen his statements, by identifying such kind of verses we will be able to think about the significance Of the teachings revealed in them. After knowing the wroth of such verses we can enlighten people with the teachings of Quran in an affective way.
