During the present research work three plants, i.e. Mansoa alliacea, Tecomaria capensis and Tecoma stans belonging to family Bignoniaceae were evaluated for their ethnopharmacological importance. Stem and leaf powder of all the plants were used for steady state maceration using n-hexane, chloroform, ethanol and water as solvents. The maximum % extraction yield was observed in leaf aqueous extract of T. capensis, T. stans and M. alliacea, i.e. 17.98%, 15.48% and 12.52%, respectively. The phytochemical investigation showed the presence of alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, reducing sugars, saponins, tannins and terpenoids in most of the extracts of all the plants. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectrum of the powder plant parts showed the presence of polysaccharides, saponins, lipids, terpenes, polyphenols, etc. Maximum amount of flavonoid content was observed in stem aqueous extract of T. capensis and M. alliacea, i.e. 341.54 mg RE/g of the extract and 231.21 mg RE/g of the extract, respectively. Minimum amount of flavonoid was observed in stem aqueous extract of T. stans, i.e. 26.15 mg RE/g of the extract. Total phenolic contents were expressed in maximum amount in leaf aqueous extract of T. stans, i.e. 354.85 mg GAE/g of the extract followed by stem ethanol extract of M. alliacea, i.e. 143.17 mg GAE/g of the extract and leaf ethanol extract of T. capensis, i.e. 123.39 mg GAE/g of the extract. Total antioxidant activity was found maximum in leaf aqueous and ethanol extract of M. alliacea followed by leaf aqueous and stem ethnol extracts of T. stans, i.e. 100.25, 99.45, 93.82 and 89.09 AE μg/mL, respectively. The metal chelating activity by % inhibition of ferrozine complex formation was observed maximum in stem aqueous extract of M. alliacea followed by leaf ethanol extract of T. capensis and ethanol stem extract of T. stans, i.e. 94.31%, 93.82% and 92.75%. The % inhibition of lipid peroxidation was best observed in stem aqueous and ethanol extract of T. capensis followed by stem aqueous extract of M. alliacea, i.e. 97.39%, 94.50% and 93.92%, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging potential was found maximum in leaf aqueous extract of M. alliacea with IC50 22.66μg/mL followed by ethanol extract of the stem, i.e. 25.46μg/mL. For T. capensis good IC50 was showed by leaf ethanol extract followed by stem ethanol extract, i.e. 25.03μg/mL and 27.17μg/mL, respectively. Leaf and stem ethanol extract of T. stans exhibited good IC50 among other extracts of this plant, i.e. 30.11μg/mL and 29.74μg/mL, respectively. Best antibacterial activity as zone of inhibition was showed by n-hexane stem extract of M. alliacea against Escherichia coli, i.e. 42.20mm with 1.25mg/mL MIC. The stem extract of T. cpaensis was found more active against Bacillus subtilis as stem ethanol and n-hexane extracts exhibited 37.60mm and 36.80mm zone of inhibition with 2.5mg/mL MIC. Stem chloroform and n-hexane extracts of T. stans exhibited zone of inhibition 26.13mm and 25.30mm with 2.5mg/mL MIC against P. aeruginosa and E. coli, respectively, while leaf n-hexane extract showed zone of inhibition 26.80mm and 25.37mm with 2.5mg/mL MIC against E. coli and P. aeruginosa, respectively. PCR of the virus confirmed the FMDV type O as its genome was consisted of 1301bp. The cytotoxic and antiviral effect was checked on BHK-21 cells in the form of cell survival percentage (CSP). The stem and leaf n-hexane extracts of M. alliacea were found antiviral at the concentration range of 15.62-125μg/mL and 15.62-250μg/mL with CSP more than 50%. Similarly the range of 31.25-125μg/mL was antiviral for chloroform stem and leaf extracts. The ethanol and water extracts of stem and leaf were found active against virus at 15.62-125μg/mL. The n-hexane and chloroform extracts of T.capensis and T. stans were not antiviral, while the ethanol extracts of these plants were found active at 31.25-125μg/mL. The aqueous extracts of T. capensis and T. stans were antiviral at 31.25-62.5μg/mL and 31.25-125μg/mL, respectively. The cell survival percentage at all these extracts was more than 50%. Overall results showed that M. alliacea had good antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral agents as compared to T. capensis and T. stans, respectively.

خواجہ محمد علی شاہ رحمانی
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ جون میں’’برہان‘‘کے خاص مضمون نگار اوررفیق خواجہ محمد علی شاہ صاحب رحمانی کی سہارنپور میں وفات ہوگئی۔مرحوم کی صحت عرصے سے ٹھیک نہیں تھی اس کے باوجود علمی ریسرچ کے کاموں میں لگے رہتے تھے۔ دارالعلوم دیوبند اور مظاہرالعلوم سہارنپور کے ممتازفاضل تھے۔السنۂ مشرقیہ کی بھی بہت سی ڈگریاں ان کے پاس تھیں۔اکابر دیوبند خاص طورپر حضرت الاستاذ علامہ سید محمد انورشاہ صاحب کشمیریؒ اورحضرت مولانا شبیر احمد صاحب عثمانی مرحوم سے والہانہ تعلق رکھتے تھے اوران حضرات کی علمی خصوصیات پران کی گہری نظر تھی۔ پختہ استعداد، واضح العقیدہ مسلمان تھے۔طبیعت میں قناعت اور خودداری کاجوہر نمایاں تھا۔پوری زندگی گوشہ نشینی اور خدمت علم میں بسر کردی۔ جس روزان کی رحلت ہوئی اسی روز کچھ دیر کے بعد ان کے والد ماجد کاسانحہ ارتحال پیش آگیا۔ان کے والد صاحب خانقاہ رحمانی سہارنپور کے سجادہ نشین تھے اور عوام ان سے فیض حاصل کرتے تھے۔رحمھما اﷲ رحمۃ واسعۃ۔

متقدمین و متاخرین فقہا کی آراء کی روشنی میں مال حرام کا منافع

Islam teaches its follower purification in every walk of life, be itassociated with creed, character, worship or economic activities; it is advised that they should avoid contaminated substance. Unlawful income (Maal-eHaram) is also prohibited by sharia to be earned or kept in custody; . However types of unlawful income are more than few, for instance riba, robbery, bribery etc and Sharia scholars have different views about each one of them, similarly opinions of sharia scholars are also different on profit earned on the lawful investment of unlawful income. In this paper, sharia guidelines regarding lawful and unlawful income is presented, different types of unlawful income and views of sharia scholars regarding the income and profit earnedfrom the investment of the same are mentioned with arguments, in the end suggestions are given in light of present era regarding each type of unlawful income.

Isolation and Characterization of Epilithic and Endolithic Bacteria from Murree Hills and Role of These Bacteria in Mineralization and Weathering of Rocks

In this study, I focused on the isolation of phosphate solubilizing bacteria from rocks of Murree, lower Himalaya, Pakistan. Bacteria from outer and inner surface of the rocks were screened for their ability to solubilize phosphate. Three strains of bacteria were selected on the basis of halozone formation in National Botanical Research Institute for Phosphate medium (NBRIP) supplemented with TCP (tribasic calcium phosphate). The solubilization index for these bacteria was recorded as 4.29, 4.03 and 3.99. pH of the medium also dropped from the initial 7.0 to 4.0 units after 5 days of growth in liquid NBRIP medium with continuous shaking at 150 rpm. The strain P26 which is closely related to Pseudomonas species and identified as Pseudomonas putida strain (KT004384) showed maximum solubilizing activity in the given medium (161.70 mg/L) after 3 days of incubation. The other two strains P4 and N27 were identified as Pseudomonas grimontii (KT223621) and Alcaligenes faecalis (KT004385). The capability of solubilizing inorganic phosphate by these strains is attributed to the production of organic acids. The presence of these organic acids is determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Three different type of acids, gluconic, oxalic and malic acid were the dominant acids found in the culture medium. This was the first report on phosphate solubilizing (PSB) strains isolated from the rocks of lower Himalaya range Pakistan. It may be assumed that these bacteria can play a role in weathering of rocks as well.
