آہ! جناب فخرالدین علی احمد صاحب صدر جمہوریہ ہند معارف کے اس شمارہ کی طباعت ہوچکی تھی کہ یکایک ریڈیو سے صدر جمہوریہ ہند کی المناک رحلت کی خبر ملی، ملک اس قدر جلد ان کی دائمی جدائی کے لیے تیار نہ تھا، فلک کا کیا بگڑتا جو نہ وہ مرتے کوئی دن اور، پہلے ڈاکٹر ذاکر حسین مرحوم اور اب جناب فخرالدین علی احمد کی وفات راشٹرپتی بھون ہی میں ہوئی، دونوں کی صدارت کے ساتھ، پیچھے پیچھے وہ دبے پاؤں قضا بھی آئی وہ جاچکے، جب ان کی سوانح عمری لکھی جائے گی تو وہ ایک پرجوش مجاہد آزادی، قابل فخر محب وطن، کامیاب بیرسٹر، آسام کے معزز ایڈوکیٹ جنرل، اسی ریاست کی حکومت کے قابل اعتماد وزیر خزانہ، پھر ملک کی لوک سبھا کے ہر دلعزیز ممبر، اقوام متحدہ کے ہندوستانی وفد کے بڑے لائق رکن، مرکزی حکومت کے مختلف محکموں کے بہت ہی کارگزار وزیر سیکولرزم کے بہترین نمائندہ، قومی یکجہتی کے زریں نشان اور آخر میں جمہوریہ ہند کے محبوب صدر کی حیثیت سے برابر یاد کئے جائیں گے، ہندوستان کی خارزار سیاست میں داخل ہوکر کسی مسلمان رہنما کا کامیاب ہونا آسان نہیں، کچھ مسلمان قائد ایسے ہوئے جو مسلمانوں میں تو مقبول تھے لیکن ہندوؤں میں اچھی نظروں سے نہیں دیکھے گئے اور کچھ مسلمان لیڈر ایسے بھی گذرے جو ہندوؤں میں تو محبوب لیکن مسلمانوں میں غیر محبوب رہے، جناب فخرالدین علی احمد صاحب کا نمایاں وصف یہ تھا کہ وہ دونوں حلقوں میں عزت کی نگاہوں سے دیکھے گئے، ان کے کسی اخباری بیان کسی عمل کی نشاندہی نہیں کی جاسکتی ہے، جس سے ہندو خوش اور مسلمان ناخوش یا مسلمان خوش اور ہندو ناخوش ہوئے۔ ان کی علم نوازی کی یادوں کی بھی مشعل روشن رہے گی، ۱۹۶۹ء میں غالب کی صدسالہ برسی پورے ملک میں ان...
Adl and Qisṭ is indeed a manifestation of God’s mercy, rather, it may also be seen as a principal objective of Shariʿah. The origin or sources of administration of justice in Islām are the Quran, Sunnah of the holy Prophet, consensus of opinions of the jurists of Islamic jurisprudence and Analogy (Qiyās). Justice is a sacred obligation of supererogatory. It is obligatory upon the Muslim rulers to appoint judges for the dispensation of justice to attain equality, to protect the human rights from their violation, to safeguard the lives and properties, and to maintain law and order in society. As a judge is supposed to accomplish a very important and noble task being a regent of Allāh, hence, some vital merits and criteria regarding the conditions and qualifications for the appointment of the Qāḍī or judge in the light of the Qur’ān, Sunnah and Islamic jurisprudence and the code of conduct for the Pakistani judges must be observed at all costs. The author of this paper has discussed these conditions and qualifications in this article. There are some unanimous conditions for the appointment of judges, while some others are not agreed upon. While presenting the difference of opinions of the Islamic jurists, the author tried to explain, reconcile the opinions and at some places presented her own view in the light of her analysis and arguments. These conditions are around thirty, but the author according to her own discretion chose some of the most important ones to discuss in this paper.
Medicines and pharmaceuticals are the hallmark of modern society. The research in this ambit is presented below. 1. Urea derivatives 237-246, 248-251 & 253-256 were synthesized by reacting isocyanates or carbamoyl chloride with various amines and their structures were identified by NMR and mass spectroscopy as well as by elemental analysis. All prepared ureas were tested for invitro antimicrobial activities. Compounds 237 & 256 exhibited promising antibacterial and antifungal activities. Besides, compounds 239, 243, 244, 253 & 254 also showed some activity.2. Anthelmintic agents such as albendazole and mebendazole are accompanied by preservatives in pharmaceuticals and prednisolone in therapy. A simple method for their simultaneous quantification is described involving the C18 column and methanol-phosphate buffer (30:70, v/v) with 235 nm as detecting wavelength. The proposed method have been validated and proved to be useful in pharmaceutical and serum analysis. 3. Dexamethasone is typically combined with antibiotics to treat various infections. An efficient HPLC method for the quantification of the quinolone-based antibiotics in the presence of dexamethasone is described, suitable for analyzing pharmaceutical and serum samples. The method utilized acetonitrile-phosphate buffer (35:65 v/v) as mobile phase, C18 analytical column as stationary phase, 1.0 mL/min flow rate and 254 nm as monitoring wavelength. The method has been validated according to the ICH guidelines. 4. Diabetes mellitus is a complicated metabolic disorder which is best treated through combined therapy. An HPLC method is described permitting the analysis of five antidiabetic drugs at detecting wavelength of 240 nm. C18 HPLC column and acetonitrilephosphate buffer-MeOH (40:40:20 v/v) as mobile produced quality separation of metformin, glimepiride, PPARs and sitagliptin that could be well applied to pharmaceuticals and plasma samples as well as in pharmacokinetic studies. 5. A validated (as per ICH), stability indicating HPLC method is presented for analysis of hydroxyzine, in the presence of metabolites and preservatives. Mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-methanol-buffer (50:20:30 v/v), with C18 column and 235 nm as detecting wavelength allowed a high quality separation, well applied in pharmaceutical and serum analysis as well as in stability studies. 6. Tranexamic acid and pregabalin were determined in pharmaceutical samples by reacting with either dinitrophenol or trinitrophenol, producing yellow coloured complexes with ʎmax at 418 nm and 425 nm, respectively. The efficiency of this protocol was found to be comparable with the referenced method.
