مولوی عبدالمجید
افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ ۲۰؍ دسمبر کو مولانا عبدالماجد صاحبب دریا بادی کے بڑے بھائی مولوی عبدالمجید صاحب رٹائرڈ ڈپٹی کلکٹر نے انتقال کیا، مرحوم بڑے دیندار اور بڑی خوبیوں کے بزرگ تھے، گو دارالمصنفین سے ان کا کوئی قانونی تعلق نہ تھا لیکن اس کے بڑے مخلص اور پرانے قدر دانوں میں تھے، اس کے کارکنوں سے دوستانہ اور عزیزانہ تعلق رکھتے تھے، مرحوم کو قومی کاموں سے بھی دلچسپی تھی اور مختلف اوقات میں وہ لکھنؤ کے مختلف قومی و تعلیمی اداروں کی اعزازی خدمت انجام دیتے رہے، طبعاً بڑے شریف اور وضعدار تھے، اﷲ تعالیٰ مرحوم کو اپنی رحمت و مغفرت سے سرفراز فرمائے۔

The twentieth century is considered as the most notable era for interfaith dialogue and other interreligious activities among the followers of different faiths across the globe. A number of interfaith activities were launched to bring closer, especially, the adherents of the Abrahamic faiths: Jews, Christians and Muslims. Many Christian institutes and organizations are actively involved in such activities. We cannot ignore the role of Christian Study Centers situated across the globe, which are rendering considerable services in the field of interfaith dialogue. One of them is the Christian Study Center Rawalpindi (CSC), Pakistan, which is the focal subject of this research paper. The CSC has a long journey in the course of interfaith dialogue and harmony, as it was its objective since its commencement. The CSC was established in 1967 as an extension of HMI (Henry Martyn Institute, Hyderabad India) to promote interfaith dialogue, harmony and good relationship among the followers of different faiths in Pakistan. It is conceded; the Christian Study Center Rawalpindi has provided great services and contributed a lot to interfaith dialogue, harmony and peace in Pakistan. In this study the efforts were made to evaluate the 50 years dialogical activities of the Christian Study Center (CSC), Rawalpindi.
Iterative Methods for Solving Systems of Equations It is well known that a wide class of problems, which arises in pure and applied sciences can be studied in the unified frame work of the system of absolute value equations of the type Ax − x = b, A ∈ Rn×n , b ∈ R n . Here x is the vector in R n with absolute values of components of x. In this thesis, several iterative methods including the minimization technique, residual method and homotopy perturbation method are suggested and analyzed. Convergence analysis of these new iterative methods is considered under suitable conditions. Several special cases are discussed. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the implementation and efficiency of these methods. Comparison with other methods shows that these new methods perform better. A new class of complementarity problems, known as absolute complementarity problem is introduced and investigated. Existence of a unique solution of the absolute complementarity problem is proved. A generalized AOR method is proposed. The convergence of GAOR method is studied. It is shown that the absolute complementarity problem includes system of absolute value equations and related optimizations as special cases
