Hill-Torrent fed irrigation system / Spate irrigation system constitutes major portion of the Pakistan’s dry-land farming system and covers all four provinces with varying extents or magnitudes. It differs significantly from modern surface and groundwater irrigation systems. The hill torrents emerge from mountain ranges and farm a secondary network of natural surface drainage system. These hill torrents bring in uncertain flash floods of shorter duration and high peaks. Due to steep gradients, flood water flows with high velocities, which sometime result in damages to standing crops, irrigation system, earthen infrastructure etc, and some time risk to human lives as well. Flood flow spread both in transverse and longitudinal directions. As the flood flows move on the flatter terrain, its silt load also reduces the channel carrying capacity. Thus the fundamental issue henceforth is the assessment of inherent risk & uncertainty in torrent spate irrigation system, affecting the productivity of the command area. The study area was selected in piedmont plains of D.I.Khan division, KP which are surrounded by the mountains of Suleiman range on the north-west and by the Indus River towards the south-east. The branching and looping channels of the torrents make the diversion of flows a complex enterprise. During research the working methodology of Daraban Zam irrigation system was studied and noted that local farmers construct earthen dykes across the smaller branches of torrents that divert floodwater to their embanked fields. However, these channels remain functional only during low to medium intensities of incoming flows. Flash floods, especially in the Monsoon season, not only damage the diversion infrastructure in head reaches, but also proceed to tail reaches un-obstructed due to high velocities & sediment load. This factor have been of serious concern for low productivity even after a wet year and ample runoff availability. The aim of this research study was set as exploration of the potential risks involved in the spate irrigation system and identification of their ranking in optimizing the system performance. After collection and evaluation of last 15 years data, seven different kinds of risks have been delineated, this may affect the productivity. These were: availability (Floods); Non availability (drought); Siltation of channels; Sedimentation in the fields; Water quality; In-appropriate diversion/application and Non-observance of water rights. Risk matrix were developed while looking at the likelihood and consequence rating of the potential risks for different reaches i.e. head, middle & tail. Then on the basis of their ranking, risk registers were prepared for all three reaches and quantification of risks involved in the spate irrigation system was done to quantify, the effect of above risks on the performance of the system. Based on results of the study, it is thus recommended that risks identified in the risk register for different reaches need to be addressed in order of their preference in that particular reach. Finally a Risk Minimization Plan (RMP) is proposed firstly started from small scale i.e. tributary channel and its command area and then further extended to all command area based on initial results. It may include, Annual rehabilitation and de-siltation of existing channels, Establishment of a network of diversion and distribution structures at strategic locations to ensure equitable distribution of water, Enforcement of water rights as per division ratios and revision and up gradation in the areas where population growth has changed the land use, Community awareness and training programs for modern techniques dissemination and Government assistance in development of On-Farm water management systems in spate irrigated areas as well. Keywords: Spate Irrigation; Floods, Drought, Risk Analysis, Sedimentation

مولانا سعید احمد اکبرآبادی کی رحلت،علمی، ادبی، اوردینی، اور صحافتی دنیا کا ایک ایسا نقصان ہے جس کی تلافی کی کوئی صورت بظاہر موجود نہیں ہے وہ ان نادر شخصیتوں میں سے جن کے اندر قدیم اورجدید علوم جمع ہوجاتے ہیں اور وہ زمانہ کو اپنی خداداد ذہانت اور طبائع کی روشنی سے منّور کرنے کاایسا عظیم الشان کام انجام دیتے ہیں، جوقدیم علوم کے ماہرین اور جدید علوم کے علمبردار وں سے الگ الگ صورت میں ممکن نہیں۔ مولانا سعید احمد اکبرآبادی ایک طرف علامہ انور شاہ کشمیریؒ کے ذریعہ اورواسطے سے ،اس سلسلۃ الذہب سے منسلک نظرآتے ہیں،جواسرار علوم نبوت کے محرموں اورفقہ وحدیث کے بالغ نظر عالموں، اسلامی شرع اوردینی کمالات کے حامل شخصیتوں کاایک ایسا قافلہ ہے، جس نے دینی علوم کوتحقیقی صلاحیتوں کے قالب میں ڈھال کر ہرزمانہ اور ہرعہد کے مطابق بنانے اور اس کی رہنمایانہ استعدادقائم ر کھنے میں ناقابلِ فراموش حصّہ لیا۔ دوسری طرف سے وہ جدید علوم سے پوری طرح واقف، اور دنیا میں سائنسی اورصنعتی اورمعاشی انقلابات کے اثرات ونتائج سے مکمل طورپر باخبر اور نئے زمانے کے تقاضوں کاپورا شعور رکھنے والے ایک دانشور تھے، جوقدیم علوم کی آب و تاب،مذہبی روایات کے تقدس کی برقراری اور اصول واحکام دین کی پاسداری بلکہ نگہبانی کافرض آدھی صدی سے بھی زیادہ مدّت تک انجام دیتے رہے۔وہ ایک طرف مفتی عتیق الرحمن عثمانی ؒ،مولانا حفظ الرحمن سیوہاروی ؒ، مولانامحمد یوسف بنوری ؒ، مفتی محمد شفیع دیوبندیؒ،قاضی زین العابدین سجاد میرٹھی(تعالیٰ اﷲ عمرہٗ) مولانا احمدعلی لاہوریؒ،اورمولانا قاری محمد طےّب قاسمیؒ ،جیسے نابغۃ العصراور فقید المثال ماہرین علوم شریعت اور...

تعلیل احادیث صحیحین: امام ابو حاتم وأبو زرعہ كی آراء كا تنقیدی جائزہ

It is unique and high distinction of the Muslim Ummah that they have saved the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). There have been high profile scholars who had dedicated their lives for the investigation of veracity and authenticity of Ḥadīths. They have been sifting the narrators of Ḥadīths through the myriad of resources to endorse or reject the authenticity of Ḥadīths. Amongst these eminent scholars, Imām Abū Ḥātim and Imām Abū Zur'ah, who made great contribution in the field of Elal Ḥadīth. Both criticized Aḥādīth some of which are quoted in Sahih Imām Bukhārī and Sahih Imām Muslim. Both books have always been taken as an authentic source for the veracity of Aḥādīth. However, they have pointed out a few such aspects which are vital for keeping the veracity and authenticity of Aḥādīth. This article is an attempt to study those Aḥādīth as quoted in the two above mentioned books and were criticized by Imām Abū Ḥātim and Abū Zur’ah in their book Elal Ḥadīths, by comprising with sayings of the concerned scholars. The most accurate aspect has been elaborated.

Parliamentary Democracy in Pakistan: 1988-1999

The dissertation entitled “Parliamentary Democracy in Pakistan 1988-1999” presents a comprehensive account of four elected governments during the period 1988 and 1999 - a period of topical significance sand-witched between two long military rules (Zia: 1977- 88 and Musharraf: 1999-2008). The emphasis of the study is on uncovering the factors that created bottlenecks in the democratic process and premature dissolution of the elected governments. The focus is on working relationship between elected and nonelected institutions as well as on functioning of the elected institutions. The elected institutions variables include the Parliament, Provincial Assemblies, Local Bodies and Federal/Provincial Governments. The non-elected institutions variables comprise Media, Caretaker Governments, Military, Bureaucracy and Judiciary. It also takes into account human rights, law and order situation and executive-judiciary relationship. Besides introduction and conclusion, the thesis includes five chapters. The first chapter is a brief review of the political history of Pakistan during the period 1947-1988. It is intended to provide background framework to facilitate discussion and analysis of the theme of the thesis, namely, uncovering the factors that impeded the functioning of the elected governments during 1988-1999. This eleven year period is covered under four chapters; each coinciding with elections, and formulation and dissolution of Assemblies and governments (i.e., 1988-90; 1990-93; 1993-96; and 1996-99).The chapters provide details of political trends; power game; and factors that led to frequent derailment of democratic process. Besides published material, interviews of some important politicians and civilmilitary bureaucrats are used to gain first hand knowledge as also to understand and analyse the issues. This is not only intended to obtain information but also to seek ideas and suggestions for ensuring sustained and effective working of parliamentary democracy in the country.
