[ادارہ برہان کے کارکن رضا الرحمن کی نانی کاانتقال]
انتہائی افسوس ہے کہ رضاالرحمن صاحب کارکن مکتبہ برہان کی نانی صاحبہ ۵/ مارچ۱۹۸۴ء صبح دس بجے اس دار فانی سے رخصت کرگئیں۔مرحومہ نہایت متدین، صوم وصلوٰۃ کی پابند اوربہترین معلّہ تھیں۔ خواتین میں شرعی امور کی ترویج کے سلسلے میں مرحومہ معروف تھیں۔ان کی رحلت سے خواتین کے لیے اسلامی مسائل کے لیے ایک خلا پیداہوگیاہے۔
اﷲ تعالیٰ مرحومہ کی مغفرت فرماکر ان کوجنت الفردوس میں اعلیٰ مقام عطافرمائے اورہم پسماندگان کوصبر جمیل کی توفیق بخشے۔(آمین) قارئین سے مرحومہ کے لیے مغفرت کی دعا کے ساتھ نماز جنازہ غائبانہ کی درخواست ہے۔

The Holy Qur’ān is a complete code of life or system of life for whole humanity. It gives complete guidance for human life from birth to death and for eternal life as well. The Qur’ān were the only book that changed the lives of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). And they became the most successful persons of the world. They ruled over three continents successfully with the guidance mentioned in Holy Quran. Today, we must adopt the guidance of Holy Qur’ān to change the humanity. In his thesis we addressed all aspects of human life including beliefs, modes of worship and customs of individual life, and also provided the guidance about the collective aspects of life, such as the economic aspects, as well as full instructions of political system and social aspect as well. So, counter the transcend world and get the eternal peace, success, and tranquility through Holy Quran.
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is Mallow vegetable growing in tropical areas of the world. Like all other agricultural crops, vegetables are also prone to several abiotic stresses throughout the world. Salinity is also one of these stresses that can cause reduction in per ha productivity of vegetables. Alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) as lipophilic antioxidant shields the plants from salinity induced damages by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in abiotic stresses including salinity. Two separate experiments were carried-out twice at Old Botanical Garden, UAF to observe the effect of α-tocopherol as priming agent and foliar spray on morpho-physiological responses of okra varieties (Noori and Sabzpari) to salinity stress. Plants were raised in sand filled plastic pots in full strength Hoagland’s nutrient solution. Four α-tocopherol levels (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg L-1) and two salt levels (0 and 100 mM) were maintained during current investigation. Salinity severely affected growth and yield of okra by decreasing fresh and dry weights of root and shoot and their lengths, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange attributes, Ca2+ and K+ uptake. However, foliar spray and seed treatment of α-tocopherol markedly enhanced growth and yield of tested okra varieties by improving shoot and root length, shoot and root fresh and dry weights, photosynthetic pigments, photosynthesis and transpiration, WUE, stomatal conductance, activities of antioxidants (CAT, GPX, POD, SOD, protease, ascorbic acid and total phenolics) and fruit GB and total free proline contents under saline and salinity free conditions. Moreover, α-tocopherol application as pre-sowing seed treatment significantly ameliorated salinity induced damages in okra by reducing MDA, H2O2 in leaves and Na+ ion concentration in shoots, roots and fruits tissues, and by increasing K+ and Ca2+ uptake in shoots, roots and fruit tissues of both okra varieties under control and saline conditions. Of both okra varieties, Noori performed better than Sabzpari in all parameters. Inclusively, 200 and 300 mg L-1 of alpha tocopherol were more effective in improving growth and yield by demising brutal effects of salt stress at morpho-physiological levels and externally applied α-tocopherol as foliar spray treatment was more effective than priming in mitigating salinity stress.
