Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important proteinacious food crop. Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. is the major biotic factor that limits chickpea productivity worldwide by causing blight disease. It causes 20-25% yield loss in chickpea annually, however, it may cause total crop failure under epidemic conditions. The most important control measure of this disease is cultivation of resistant varieties, but the resistance does not last long. Chemical control is also effective but it leads to health hazards. The alternative way to control the chickpea blight is the use of natural products and their synthetic analogues. The present study was, therefore, designed to identify natural antifungal compounds from two allelopathic tree species namely Syzgium cumini (L.) Skeels and Eucalyptus citriodora Hook for the management of A. rabiei. In screening bioassays, in vitro antifungal potential of methanolic leaf, fruit, stem-bark and root-bark extracts of S. cumini and E. citriodora was evaluated against A. rabiei. Different concentrations of these extracts ranging from 0.5% to 4.0% were evaluated against the fungal pathogen. In these laboratory bioassays, extracts of various parts of both the trees species exhibited variable antifungal activity. Leaf extract of E. citriodora and fruit extract of S. cumini exhibited the best antifungal activities against the target fungal pathogen resulting in 71–95% and 44–46% reduction in fungal biomass. These extracts were subjected to further bioassays guided fraction using various chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. Three kilograms dried and crushed leaves of each of E. citriodora and fruits of S. cumini were extracted with methanol. The solvent was evaporated on a rotary evaporator and the crude methanolic extracts were partitioned using n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol in increasing order of solvent polarity. Different concentrations (1. 562, 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 mg mL-1) of these four organic solvent fractions were tested in vitro against the fungal pathogen. Different fractions of methanolic leaf extract of E. citriodora and fruit extract of S. cumini exhibited pronounced antifungal activities resulting in 30–93% and 22–66% reduction in fungal biomass over control, respectively. Chloroform fractions of methanolic leaf extract of E. citriodora and fruit extract of S. cumini were selected for isolation of effective antifungal constituents using thin layer chromatography (TLC), preparative thin layer chromatography (PTLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Four compounds namely ethyl iso-allocholate (1), oxime-, methoxy-phenyl (2), heptacosane (3) and octadecane (4) were identified through GC-MS in chloroform fraction of methanolic fruit extract of S. cumini. Likewise, three compounds namely 3-cyclohexene- 1-ol, 4- methyl-1-(1-methylethyl)- (5), 1-cyclohexene- 1-carboxaldehyde, 4-(1-methylethyl)- (6), and eucalyptol (7) were identified in chloroform fraction of methanolic leaf extract of E. citriodora. Results of the present study indicate that both the allelopathic tree species possess substantial antifungal properties against A. rabiei. Especially, compounds present in chloroform fractions of methanolic leaf extract of E. citriodora and fruit extract of S. cumini are highly active against the target fungal pathogen. After further screening, structures of the most potent antifungal constituents from the seven isolated compounds in the present study can be used as analogues for the preparation of nature friendly fungicide to control one of the most destructive fungal pathogens of chickpea

فصل سوم: آیاتِ استفہام میں فہم عبادات

ایمان لانے کے بعد انسان پر سب سے پہلے عبادت کا ادا کرنا لازم ہے ہر مذہب میں عبادت کا ایک خاص طریقہ ہوتا ہے جو مخصوص طریقے کے ساتھ ادائیگی کا حکم دیا جاتا ہے اسی طرح اسلام میں بھی نماز، روزہ، حج اور زكوة عبادات کی مختلف طرق ہیں اصل عبادت کی غایت یہ ہے کہ معبود صرف اللہ تبارک وتعالیٰ ہی کو ماننا ، صرف اسی کی عبادت کرنا ہر چیز میں اسی سے مدد طلب کرنا اسی کو حاجت روا اور مشکل کشا سمجھنا اسی کو مالک، خالق اور رب تسلیم کرنا اسی سے التجاء کرنا، ہر چیز کے لئے اسی کو پکارنا اور یہ یقین رکھنا کہ اللہ کے سوا کسی کے دائرہ اختیار میں کوئی چیز نہیں ہے اگر وہ نفع پہنچانا چاہے تو اسے کوئی روکنے والا نہیں ہے اور اگر ضرر پہنچائے تو اس کو کوئی ہٹانے والا نہیں ہے ہر طرح کی عبادت مثلاً قیام، رکوع، سجدہ صرف اسی کے لئے خاص ہے اور کسی اور کے سامنے جھکنا جائز نہیں۔

 انسانوں سے اللہ تعالیٰ نے انکی تخلیق سے پہلے ایک وعدہ لیا تھا جس کا ذکر قرآن مجید میں یوں مذکور ہے:

"اَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ، قَالُوْا بَلٰي، شَہِدْنَا"۔[[1]]

" کیا میں تمہارا رب نہیں ہوں؟ اس وقت سب نے یہ کہا کیوں نہیں اے ہمارے رب!"۔

 سب نے اس وقت اللہ کی ربوبیت کا اقرار کیا تھا گویا کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی ربوبیت کا اقرار و اعتراف انسانوں کی فطرت میں داخل اور انکے وجدان میں شامل ہے۔

اللہ تعالیٰ کی ربوبیت کا مطلب اور اس کا تقاضا کیا ہے ؟اسکے جواب کے بارے میں بشیر احمد لودھی یوں رقمطراز ہیں:

 " انسان ازخود پیدا نہیں...

ظہرین کے اوقات میں اشتراکات: اسلام کے پانچ بڑے فقہی مکاتب فکر کے تناظر میں

In India scholar‘s had played incredible role for ‘Hadith’. The service of Indian Muslim scholars about methodology of Hadith is much more than other countries scholars in the last 50 years of thirteenth century. Their name should be written in golden words. There services about the methodology of Hadith are great one. Muslim scholars of sub-continent had taken keen interest in the research work of Hadith and its explanation. If we evaluate the theological history of India that ; Shah Waiullah ‘and his family worked day and night for expansion and publishing of’ Hadith  ‘ Thirteenth century of hire is called a century of revolution as concerned for Hadith. Because in that era proper theological institutions were set up and very strong institutions had spread knowledge and study of methodology of Hadith

Synthesis, Characterization of Novel Curcumin Analogs and Their Biological Activities

Curcumin has shown large number of pharmacological properties against different phenotypes of various disease models. Different synthetic routes have been employed to develop its various derivatives for diverse biological functions. In this study Schiff bases, pyrazoles, pyrimidines and sulfonamides bearing curcumin scaffold were synthesized to investigate their pharmacological effects. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were described by IR, MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectral data and elemental analysis. Antibacterial and antifungal activities were evaluated for compounds (3-14) with Ciprofloxacin, Nystatin and Ketoconazole using disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration values were determined by 96-well plate assay method. Our studies showed that compound 3 has promising antibacterial (MIC: 15.63-31.25 µg/mL) while compound 5 (MIC: 15.63-250 µg/mL) has better antifungal activity as compared to reference drugs. Similarly the combination of more potent compounds 3 and 5 with Ciprofloxacin and Nystatin respectively gave significant synergic effect (FIC index value ≤ 1). The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of compounds (3-25) were also evaluated with Indomethacin and Diclofenac sodium in experimental animal models respectively. Compound 20, 21 and 25 exhibited relatively higher prevention of writhing episodes than any other compound with antinociceptive activity of 73.2, 74.9 and 71.8 % respectively whereas compound 3 showed highest anti-inflammatory activity (82.0 % paw edema inhibition). Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme inhibition was evaluated with these synthesized compounds (3-25) through in vitro cyclooxygenase assays. COX-2 inhibition assays result revealed that compound 25 (75.3 %) was the most active compound. Molecular docking vi studies were also performed to identify the plausible binding mode of these compounds with COX-2. Urease enzyme inhibition was also evaluated through in vitro assays and inhibition assays result revealed that compound 24 was found to be more potent (IC50 = 2.44±0.07 µM) among the tested compounds (3-25). The compounds with diazine ring system showed better urease inhibition (IC50 = 11.43±0.21-19.63±0.28 µM) than the standard urease inhibitor thiourea (IC50 = 22.61±0.23 µM).Kinetic data revealed that compounds 5-7, 24 were competitive inhibitors with Ki values 20.0, 19.87, 20.23 and 19.11 µM respectively. Compounds 26-47 were screened for in vitro carbonic anhydrase-I (human, hCAI) and carbonic anhydrase-II (bovine, bCAII) inhibition assay. Compound 26 showed the Ki 0.99 µM and had more inhibitory activity on hCA-I than Acetazolamide (AZZ). From kinetic studies the Ki values of compound 26, 28 and 42 towards bCAII were 0.71, 0.67 and 0.71 µM respectively. Compound 28 has comparable Ki to AZZ (0.63 µM) towards bCAII. Compounds 48-53 were screened for antibacterial activity, compounds 48 with isoxazole moiety have moderate antibacterial activity against both the gram positive and gram negative bacteria with highest zone of inhibition (18.7 mm) against S. aureus with AI value 56.2 % when compared with Ciprofloxacin having MIC > 500 µg/mL. While the rest of compounds in this series showed poor antibacterial activity.
