This research project was accomplished at four experimental sites of southern Punjab in order to underline the insect pest’s population dynamics of cotton and their predators. Eggs and adult Population counts of American bollworm (ABW), Pink bollworm (PBW) and spotted bollworm (SBW) are presented in the undergoing paragraphs. The three years study showed that adult count of ABW was at extreme in October 2014, 2016 and September 2015 at site-I. Similar population trends were observed in 2014 for ABW at site-II. During three years egg and adult count of ABW at site-III was in order: 2014> 2015> 2016. At site-IV population of adults started increasing, reached a maximum in August, and declined slightly in September and October 2014. During 2015, ABW adult count was maximum in September. Similar population trend of ABW was observed during 2016 at site-IV. The egg counts of ABW was maximum in September 2014 at site-I. During 2015, it was maximum in October, and July 2016. At site-II, maximum eggs count of ABW was found during October in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. At site-III, maximum egg count of ABW was observed in July 2014, in August 2015 and in September 2016, respectively. Maximum egg counts of ABW at site-IV during 2014, 2015 and 2016 were observed in the months of August, October and September, respectively. Adult counts of PBW was highest in September during 2014, 2015 and 2016 in each year at site-I. At site-II, highest adult population of PBW was recorded in October 2014, 2015 and September 2016. At site-III, highest PBW population was observed in September 2014, October 2015 and September 2016. At site-IV highest mean egg counts of PBW was noted in October 2014, 2015 and 2016. Highest egg counts of PBW was noted in September each year at site-I. Mean number of eggs of PBW was found highest during September in 2014, 2015 and 2016 each year, at site-II. Highest average egg number of PBW was enumerated in September 2014, September 2015 and October in 2016, at site-III. The highest average count of eggs of PBW was noted during September 2014, October 2015 and August 2016, at site-IV. The highest adult population of SBW was recorded at site-I during October 2014, July 2015 and September 2016. At site-II, highest adult SBW was observed during September 2014 and 2015 each, and in October 2016, respectively. Highest average adult population of PBW was noted in September 2014, August 2015 and September 2016, respectively at site-III. At site-IV, the highest adult population of SBW was found in September 2014, August 2015 and October 2016. Eggs count of American bollworm was significantly affected by period (P<0.05) and variety (P<0.001). Egg count of PBW was significantly affected by varieties and egg count of spotted boll worm was affected by period (P<0.001) and variety (P<0.001) at site-I. Adult population size of American bollworms (ABW) at site-I was affected significantly by period (P<0.001) and variety (P<0.001). Pink bollworm (PBW) and Spotted bollworms adult counts were affected significantly (P<0.05) by period and variety. Average egg count of ABW, PBW and SBW showed significant differences for period and varieties. Host plant susceptibility index (HPSI) showed that cotton variety IUB-33 had highest HPSI in 2014 at site-I and site-II, and Lalazar and MNH-988 had highest HPSI at site-III and site-IV in 2014. Eggs count of ABW, PBW and SBW were non-significantly affected by humidity level (P>0.05), temperature (P>0.05) and wind speed (P>0.05) at all sites. Average number of adults ABW, PBW and SBW was also not affected by temperature, humidity level and wind speed and was non-significant (P>0.05) at all sites. Correlation coefficients between populations of lady beetle (predator) and ABW, PBW, SBW were low and non-significant during the year 2014. The correlations between spider (predator) and ABW, SBW populations were low and non-significant but low and significant for PBW population in this year. The correlations between both predator’s prey populations were high and significant (P<0.01) during 2014 at site-I. During 2015, correlation between lady beetle and ABW, SBW populations were positive low non-significant and negative low non-significant, respectively. PBW had lower but significant (P<0.05) correlations with lady beetle population. Spider population bore very low non-significant correlation with ABW, negative very low non-significant correlation with SBW and low but significant (P<0.05) correlation with PBW population. Mutual correlation between predator’s populations was very low and significant. In 2016, correlation analysis showed that population of lady beetles moderate and significant (P<0.001) with populations of ABW, PBW and SBW. Spider populations also showed intermediate to high and significant (P<0.001) correlations with ABW, PBW and SBW populations along with lady beetle population at site-I. At site-II, the correlations coefficients for lady beetle population and ABW, PBW and SBW were significant (P<0.001) and high in 2014. Spider population showed highly significant (P<0.001) but moderate to high correlations with ABW, PBW and SBW populations. During 2015, the second year of research, the correlations between prey (ABW, PBW and SBW) and lady beetle population were moderate but highly significant (P<0.01) at site-I. Spider population showed similar pattern of correlations during this year in the region but had highly significant and high correlation with lady beetle population. Lady beetle population had very low to low and non-significant correlations with ABW and SBW populations, respectively. A moderate and highly significant correlation coefficient was found between lady beetle and PBW populations. Population of spiders had similar type of correlations with ABW, SBW and PBW i.e. very low to low negative non-significant for former two and moderate but significant with the later. At siteIII, during 2014, correlations between lady beetle population and ABW were highly significant and high, PBW very high and highly significant, and SBW moderate and highly significant. Spider population had low to moderately high and significant correlations with ABW, PBW and SBW populations. In 2015, lady beetle population had very low to low negative non-significant correlations with ABW and SBW populations and low non- significant correlation with PBW population too. Spiders showed very low to low and non-significant correlations with population of ABW, PBW and SBW during this year in the region. Correlations between lady beetle and prey (ABW, SBW and PBW) were moderate to high and significant. Spider population had low to moderately high correlations with ABW, PBW and SBW populations in this region. During 2014, the correlations between lady beetle population and prey (ABW, PBW, SBW) populations were moderate to high and significant (P<0.001). Spider population had low, moderate and high but significant correlations with SBW, ABW and PBW populations during this year at site-IV. During 2015 at site-III, correlation coefficients between populations of lady beetle and chewing pests (ABW, PBW, SBW) were low to moderate and significant except for SBW that had nonsignificant correlation. Correlations between spider and chewing pest (ABW, PBW, SBW) populations were also in lower to intermediate range during this year yet they were significant (P<0.05). Lady beetle and chewing pest populations had negative and very low to low correlations that were also non-significant at site-IV.

حد ودکی اقسام

حد ودکی اقسام
حدود کو مندرجہ ذیل دو حصوں میں تقسیم کیا جاتا ہے:
1۔معاملات میں حدود
اس قسم میں معاشرت ، معیشت ، نکاح، طلاق، کھانے پینے ، رہن سہن اور دیگر معاملات میں حدود مقرر کی گئی ہیں جیسا کہ علامہ زبیدی لکھتے ہیں
"فَحُدُودُ اللّهِ عزّ وجلّ ضَرْبَانِ ضَرْبٌ منها حُدودٌ !حدَّها للنّاسِ في مَطَاعِمِهم ومَشارِبِهم ومَنَاكِحِهِم وغيرها ممّا أَحَلّ وحَرَّم"۔ 58
"حدود اللہ کی دو اقسام ہیں۔ ایک تو ایسی حدود جو لوگوں کے لیے ان کے ماکولات ، مشروبات اور مناکحات وغیرہ میں بسبب حلال اور حرام متعین کی گئی ہیں ۔ "
قرآن مجید میں انہی معاملات کے بارے میں آیا ہے، جیسا کہ اس آیت مبارکہ میں حرام مال کا تذکرہ کر کے اسے کھانے سے منع فرمایا جا رہا ہے :
﴿ِ إنَّ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَالَ الْيَتَامَى ظُلْمًا إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ نَارًا وَسَيَصْلَوْنَ سَعِيرًا۔ ﴾59
"بے شک جو لوگ یتیموں کا مال ناجائز طور پر کھاتے ہیں وہ اپنے پیٹوں میں آگ بھرتے ہیں اور دوزخ میں ڈالے جائیں گے۔ "
اس آیت مبارکہ میں نکاح کے بارے میں فرمایا کہ اپنی ماں سے نکاح نہیں ہوتا۔
﴿وَلَا تَنْكِحُوا مَا نَكَحَ آَبَاؤُكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَمَقْتًا وَسَاءَ سَبِيلًا۔ ﴾60
"اور جن عورتوں سے تمہارے باپ نے نکاح کیا ہو ان سے نکاح مت کرنا مگر(جاہلیت میں ) جو ہو چکا (سو ہو چکا) بے شک یہ نہایت بے حیائی اور (اللہ کی) ناخوشی کی بات تھی اور بہت برا طریقہ تھا۔ "
2۔ عقوبات میں حدود
ایسی سزائیں جو اللہ اور اس کے رسولﷺ نے بعض جرائم پر مقرر فرمائی ہیں۔ یہ حدود کی دوسری قسم ہے۔ ان عقوبات سے متعلق ابن منظور تحریر کرتے ہیں
"والضَّرْب الثانِي عُقوباتٌ جُعِلَتْ لمنْ رَكِبَ ما نَهَى عنْه ، كحَدّ السّارِق"61

فتوی کا اسلامی منہج: مجموع فتاوی ابن تیمیہ کے تناظر میں

Im฀m Ibn Taymiyyah is a well-known scholar of Muslims. He was an ocean of knowledge and wisdom. His books prove his excellence He was born in 661 Hijrah in Harr฀n (Syria). He learned every kind of knowledge especially religious knowledge i. E knowledge of Qur’฀n, Tafs฀r, Had฀th, Fiqh, Jurisprudence, philosophy, inheritance law, mathematics, grammar, literature, and poetry etc. He wrote hundreds of books about the above mentioned fields. He was permitted to give Fatw฀ (verdict) in his early age. He was successful in achieving the position of Ijtih฀d (authoritative interpretation of Islamic Law). Ibn Taymiyyah Studied the Profound Books of religions and sects. Then he analyzed the works in the light of senior Imams and Qur฀n and Sunnah. He is an extra ordinary person in his knowledge and writings. In brief we can say the fatw฀s of Imam Ibn Taymiyyah have printed in thirty seven volumes. His first ratiocination in Fatwa is from the Holy Qur฀n. He presents the arguments from the Hadith and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (S. A. W). He considered Ijm฀ ‘ (consensus of Muslim opinion) as a proof of Shar฀‘ah. He presents the point of view of various schools of thought, He trusted in the books of ancient scholars. He also answers the anticipating ambiguity and complication. A few of his fatwas begin with all praise to Allah. His fatw฀s are concordant with the life of the Muslims. In this article a deep study of fatwa of Ibn Taymiyyah has been taken as a guideline for fatwa in Islamic methodology.

Majoriztion and its Applications

The notion of majorization arose as a measure of the diversity of the components of an n-dimensional vector (an n-tuple) and is closely related to convexity. Many of the key ideas relating to majorization were discussed in the volume entitled Inequalities by Hardy, Littlewood and Polya (1934). Only a relatively small number of researchers were inspired by it to work on questions relating to majorization. After the volume entitled Theory of Majorization and its Applications (Marshall and Olkin, 1979), they heroically had shifted the literature and endeavored to rearrange ideas in order, often provided references to multiple proofs and multiple viewpoints on key results, with reference to a variety of applied fields. For certain kinds of inequalities, the notion of majorization leads to such a theory that is sometime extremely useful and powerful for deriving inequalities. Moreover, the derivation of an inequality by methods of majorization is often very helpful both for providing a deeper understanding and for suggesting natural generalizations. Majorization theory is a key tool that allows us to transform complicated non-convex constrained optimization problems that involve matrix-valued variables into simple problems with scalar variables that can be easily solved. In this PhD thesis, we restrict our attention to results in majorization that directly involve convex functions. The theory of convex functions is a part of the general subject of convexity, since a convex function is one whose epigraph is a convex set. Nonetheless it is an important theory, which touches almost all branches of mathe- matics. In calculus, the mean value theorem states, roughly, that given a section of a smooth curve, there is a point on that section at which the derivative (slope) of the viiviii curve is equal (parallel) to the ”average” derivative of the section. It is used to prove theorems that make global conclusions about a function on an interval starting from local hypotheses about derivatives at points of the interval. In the first chapter some basic results about convex functions, some other classes of convex functions and majorization theory are given. In the second chapter we prove positive semi-definite matrices which imply exponen- tial convexity and log-convexity for differences of majorization type results in discrete case as well as integral case. We also obtain Lypunov’s and Dresher’s type inequalities for these differences. In this chapter both sequences and functions are monotonic and positive. We give some mean value theorems and related Cauchy means. We also show that these means are monotonic. In the third chapter we prove positive semi-definite matrices which imply a surprising property of exponential convexity and log-convexity for differences of additive and multiplicative majorization type results in discrete case. We also obtain Lypunov’s and Dresher’s type inequalities for these differences. In this chapter we use mono- tonic non-negative as well as real sequences in our results. We give some applications of majorization. Related Cauchy means are defined and prove that these means are monotonic. In the fourth chapter we obtain an extension of majorization type results and ex- tensions of weighted Favard’s and Berwald’s inequality when only one of function is monotonic. We prove positive semi-definiteness of matrices generated by differ- ences deduced from majorization type results and differences deduced from weighted Favard’s and Berwald’s inequality. This implies a surprising property of exponen- tial convexity and log-convexity of these differences which allows us to deduce Lya- punov’s and Dresher’s type inequalities for these differences, which are improvements of majorization type results and weighted Favard’s and Berwald’s inequalities. Anal- ogous Cauchy’s type means, as equivalent forms of exponentially convexity and log- convexity, are also studied and the monotonicity properties are proved. In the fifth chapter we obtain all results in discrete case from chapter four. Weix give majorization type results in the case when only one sequence is monotonic. We also give generalization of Favard’s inequality, generalization of Berwald’s inequal- ity and related results. We prove positive semi-definiteness of matrices generated by differences deduced from majorization type results and differences deduced from weighted Favard’s and Berwald’s inequality which implies exponential convexity and log-convexity of these differences which allow us to deduce Lyapunov’s and Dresher’s type inequalities for these differences. We introduce new Cauchy’s means as equiva- lent form of exponential convexity and log-convexity. In the sixth chapter we prove positive semi-definiteness of matrices generated by dif- ferences deduced from Popoviciu’s inequalities which implies a surprising property of exponential convexity and log-convexity of these differences which allows us to deduce Gram’s, Lyapunov’s and Dresher’s type inequalities for these differences. We intro- duce some mean value theorems. Also we give the Cauchy means of the Popoviciu type and we show that these means are monotonic.
