Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) is an important but ignored fruit crop of Pakistan for which no research work has ever been reported previously inside the country. There is no standard or identified loquat cultivar available to the growers for cultivation in the loquat growing pockets of Pakistan. Generally, the farmers grow their orchards through seeds. As a result, most of the loquat orchards do not possess the plants with uniform fruit characters and fruit is not of good quality. Previously no work has been reported regarding description of the loquat genotypes in Pakistan. The present study was, therefore, carried out to evaluate and characterize the available genotypes in the main loquat growing areas of Pakistan and to determine the genetic diversity among these genotypes. For this purpose, 9 sites were selected in the main loquat growing areas of Pakistan. Forty two genotypes were identified, which were compared on the basis of morpho-physical traits. Significant differences were observed with reference to various characteristics among different genotypes. Fruit weight of the genotypes ranged from 9.54 g (in HW4) to 47.84 g (in TB15). Range of flesh seed ratio was from 1.67 (in HW5) to 3.05 (in TB8). Minimum yield per tree was recorded as 25.85 kg (in TB15), while it was maximum (89.87 kg) in TB7. Correlations among some traits were also observed. Moreover, RAPD analyses of the genotypes were performed. Five RAPD primers gave reproducible results and generated 47 polymorphic bands. According to the dandrogram, two main groups of the loquat genotypes were identified with a linkage distance of 33%. For most of the locations, grouping of the genotypes was in accordance with the geographical locations. Out of the three genotypes from Mardan, one falls under the first group and the other two under the second group. The maximum number of genotypes (15) was identified at Takht Bhai, two of them belonged to the first group and 13 to the second group. Genotypes with good characteristics i.e. better yield, higher fruit size and weight, less number of seeds per fruit and higher flesh seed ratio can be recommended for further multiplication and introduction to the other loquat growing areas which would increase the income of farming community. The study also recommends establishing germplasm units in Punjab and NWFP and pooling all these genotypes for future strategies and breeding programs including selection, introduction, hybridization and mutation breeding. The present study would also be helpful for the documentation, management, and conservation of the loquat genetic resources of Pakistan.

36. Ya. Sin./Yaseen

I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah

The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

36:01
a. Ya. Sin.

36:02
a. The Qur’an - full of Wisdom is an evidence of the fact that -

36:03
a. truly, you - O The Prophet - are of The Messengers,

36:04
a. - guided upon the Right Path,

36:05
a. it is a revelation being sent down onto you by The Almighty, The Infinitely Compassionate,

36:06
a. so that you can warn a people whose forefathers were never warned,
b. so they have remained heedless of the true faith and right guidance.

36:07
a. Indeed, the Word of misguidance is bound to be true against most of them, so they are not going to believe.

36:08
a. Indeed, WE have placed iron collars around their necks, up to their chins, so their heads are upturned, aloft and made stiff-necked so as not to see the Right Path.

36:09
a. And WE have set a barrier in front of them and a barrier behind them,
b. thus WE have blindfolded them from all sides in the darkness of ignorance so they can no longer see the light of truth and guidance.

36:10
a. Thus, it is all the same to them whether you warn them, or do not warn them,
b. they are not going to believe.

36:11
a. However, you can only warn someone who
- follows the Reminder – The Qur’an - and
- remains in awe of The Immensely Merciful despite not...

الشيخ حافظ محمد إدريس وأسلوبه في تفسيره كشاف القرآن

Pashtun Ulama have always been in the service of Islam. The origin of Pashtun people in Pakistan is the province of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa formerly known is North West Frontier Province (NWFP). Pashtun Ulama have served Islam on different fronts; some have done Jihad against the non-Muslims, some of them have offered their services in the field of Islamic education, ie, teaching in Madrassas, while some have served Islam via their writing commentary of Qur’ān, explanation of Ḥadīth and juristic problems. This article discusses the worthy contributions of one of the great commentators of Qur’ān Shaykh Ḥāfiẓ Muḥammad Idrīs, who belonged to Mardan in the Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, He lived in the 19th century. The article encompasses a detailed biography of the writer and his worthy contribution in serving Qur’ān, Islam and Muslims focusing on his commentary on Qur’ān in Pashto language named as “Kashshāf Al Qur’ān”. The method used for the research is descriptive and qualitative. The review literature showed that such an esteemed and vigorous scientist of different sciences of Qur’ān and his valuable contributions are out of the reach of scholars and libraries that may lead to an irreparable loss of the Islamic legacy. The study came up with the outcomes of his efforts in the field exegesis of Qur’ān, and the way and pattern he followed in interpreting different meanings of the revealed literature. The study would help out Islamic scholars and will enrich the domain of the Qur’ān’s research with new thoughts and viewpoints
