Poor oral bioavailability is a major challenge affecting the new drugs reaching the market due to its low aqueous solubility. Nanocrystals have the potential and rapidly providing a platform solution to substantially increase dissolution rate, solubility with subsequent enhanced bioavailability and effectiveness via the oral route of administration of a range of poor water soluble drugs. The current study is comprised on two parts utilized antimalarial drugs: the first part was comprised on fabrication of artemether (ARTM) and lumefantrine (LMF) nanoparticles using a novel top down wet milling approach (DENA DM-100) and in the second part: cost effective simplest approach of re-precipitation combined with ultrasonication was utilized for fabrication of artemisinin (ART) nanoparticles with the aims to enhance their dissolution and hence the bioavailability of these antimalarial drugs. Smart nanocrystals of artemether (ARTM) and lumefantrine (LMF) were fabricated in the form of nanosuspensions in shortest milling time (less than 1 hr) in both aqueous and acidic medium using a novel wet milling technology (DENA DM-100). Both high feedstock concentration (10% w/w) and low feedstock concentration (2.5% w/w) of ARTM and LMF yielded nanocrystals with maximum recovery of the active contents. Similarly, we revisited the simplest approach of re-precipitation combined with ultrasonication for fabrication of artemisinin nanoparticles in the form nanosuspensions. Different critical parameters, including the effect of different concentrations of stabilizers, temperature as well as optimum parameters/conditions were identified, which was found to be very critical not only for fabrication as well as for scale up of the batch size, which is critical issue associated with this approach. xii Additionally, the physical stability studies of artemether, lumefantrine and artemisinin were conducted for 90 days at different storage temperatures demonstrated that nanocrystals stored at 2-8°C and 25°C were most stable compared to the samples stored at 40°C. There was not observed any chemical degradation in the APIs during the chemical stability studies which was monitored for 07 days. Similarly artemether, lumefantrine and artemisinin nanocrystals were produced in the size ranges of 161±1.5 nm and 214.1±1.2 nm, 98.77±1.5 nm respectively, where they showed significantly enhanced solubility, dissolution rate and enhanced antimalarial efficacy (in vitro and in vivo) compared to its unprocessed, micronized, microsuspension and their marketed counterparts in relatively low dose. In summary the study demonstrates that both novel top down DENA (DM-100) technology and standard crystallization combined with ultrasonication are effective in producing stable nanocrystals with smallest particle sizes, increased saturation solubility and enhanced dissolution rate with enhanced in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activities while controlling the key experimental and process conditions.

حضرت خدیجہ ؓ سے شادی اور ان کا کاروبار

حضرت خدیجہؓ سے شادی اور ان کا کاروبار
اعتراض نمبر۹۰
جب آپ ؐ جوان ہوگئے اور مضبوط ہوگئے( آپ کے پاس زیادہ مال نہ تھا) سیدہ خدیجہؓ نے آپﷺ کو تجارت کے لیے اجرت پر بلالیا۔۔اور حضور ؐ کے ساتھ ایک اور آدمی کو اجرت پر رکھ لیا‘‘ ( اردو ترجمہ دلائل نبوہ ۱۔۶۴۔۔ ابوبکر احمد بن الحسین بیہقی)
’ تاریخی کتب سے یہ تاثر ابھرتا ہے کہ نبی مکرمﷺ کو سیدہ خدیجہؓ نے گویا اپنا ملازم یا تجارتی کارندہ مقرر کیا تھا‘‘ ( سیرت اعلان نبوت سے پہلے۔۲۹۵۔۲۹۴)
جواب:صاحب ضیا النبی( ۔۲۔۲۱۷) لکھتے ہیں کہ آپ( خدیجہ) اپنے نمائندوں کو سامان تجارت دے کر روانہ کرتیں‘ جو آپ کی طرف سے کاروبار کرتے۔ اس کی دو صورتیں تھیں ۔
اول: یا تو ملازم ہوتے، ان کی اجرت یا تنخواہ مقرر ہوتی جو انھیں دی جاتی‘ نفع و نقصان سے انھیں کوئی سروکار نہ تھا۔
دوم: یا نفع میں ان کا کوئی حصہ ،نصف یا چہارم مقرر کر دیا جاتا۔ اگر نفع ہوتا تو وہ اپنا حصہ لے لیتے ۔بصورت دیگر یعنی نقصان کی صورت میں ساری ذمہ داری خدیجہؓ پر عائد ہوتی ‘ اس کو شریعت میں’’ عقد مضاربہ‘‘ کہتے ہیں۔ آنحضرت ایک خود مختار اور خوش حال تاجر تھے۔ آپ نے کسی تاجر کی ملازمت کبھی اختیار نہیں کی تھی‘ ڈاکٹر تحسین فراقی نے کتاب کے تعارف میں لکھا ’’ ایک عام تاثر یہ پایا جاتا ہے کہ حضرت خدیجہ نے حضورؐ کو اپنا ملازم یا تجارتی کارندہ مقرر کیا تھا۔حالانکہ حقیقت یہ ہے کہ حضرت خدیجہ ؓ سے نکاح سے بہت پہلے آپؐ خود مختار اور خوش حال تاجر کے طور پر معروف ہو چکے تھے اور اس ذیل میں قیس بن السائب کی روایت استناد کا درجہ رکھتی ہے۔
ایک اور روایت:ابو طالب نے اپنے بھتیجے سے کہا ’’ میں...

تفسیر اشاری کی روایت و منہج کا اختصاصی مطالعہ

Tafsir or interpretation of the Quranic scripture has always been a central task for Muslim exegetes. The Tafsir Ishari is a significant genre in the realm of Quranic exegesis that specially explains the inner meanings of theQuranic scripture. The Tafsir ishari is primarily based on the Quranic reading and understanding of the Sufis of the early Islam. This study analyses the argument of scriptural experts concerning the authenticity of this particular type of the Quranic interpretation. Further, it also aims to elucidate the Tafsir Ishari, its tradition and development through presenting an overview of its origin, formation and evolution. It has been argued that the Tafsir Ishari does not have any specific method. As contrast to the literal reading of the Quranic text, the Sufis reflect upon the inner meaning of the Quran and understand the text through spiritual intuition. This research is focused to comprehend various approaches of Sufi interpretations by studying the significant texts of leadingSufi masters i. E. Al-Tustari, Sulami and Ruzbihan al-Baqli. A meticulous effort has been made to ascertain the distinctive methods of Ishari interpretation by analyzing the interpretations of the above mentioned three leading Sufi masters.

Attachment, Gender Role Conflict and Intimate Relationship in University Students

The present study investigated the relationship of Attachment, Gender Role Conflict and Intimate Relationship in University Students. Three scales namely Gender Role Conflict Scale, Intimate Relationship Scale and Adult Attachment Scale (Hazen & Shaver, 1986) were used in the study to test the main hypotheses. In the first part of the study two scales Pakistan Gender Role Conflict Scale, and Intimate Relationship Scales were developed. Factor analyses showed two factor solution for both scales. After that piloting was done. The sample of the study for the final analysis was 502 participants with the distribution of 286 (57%) men and 216 (43%) women. The mean age of the sample was (M= 20.14) (SD= 2.00). The findings of the study showed that secure attachment has significant negative correlation with externalized gender role conflict. Whereas, ambivalent and avoidant attachment have significant positive correlation with externalized gender role conflict. Moreover, gender role conflict is significantly positively related intimate relationship conflict. Also secure attachment is strongly positively correlated to intimacy in relationships. Whereas, ambivalent and avoidant attachment has significant negative relationship with intimacy in relation. Moreover, regression analysis showed that mother’s education and externalized conflict are predictors of intimate relationship. However, educational class along with internalized and externalized conflict also appeared to be predictors of intimate relationship. Moreover, attachment appeared to be mediator between gender role conflict and intimate relationship. Whereas, men and women have significant difference in terms of gender role conflict but there is no significant difference in terms of attachment styles and intimate relationships. Initial attachment effect socialization process that results in conflict while developing gender role. It further impact one’s ability to form and maintain intimate relations and these relational issues have vast implication in clinical setup. The results of the study were discussed in the light of cultural context of Pakistan and existing literature.
