ڈاکٹر محمد ایوب قادری
پاکستان وبھارت کے علمی اور دینی حلقوں میں یہ خبر بڑے رنج وغم کے ساتھ سنی گئی کہ۲۵/نومبر۱۹۸۳ء کوپاکستان کے ایک نامور ادیب،مصنف اور مؤرخ ڈاکٹر محمد ایوب قادری کراچی میں ٹریفک کے ایک حادثے میں جاں بحق ہوگئے۔ وفات کے وقت ان کی عمر۵۶برس کے لگ بھگ تھی۔
قادری صاحب روہیلکھنڈ کے مشہور تاریخی قصبے آنولہ کے رہنے والے تھے۔ان کی ابتدائی تعلیم بدایوں اوربریلی میں ہوئی۔تقسیم ملک کے بعد موصوف کراچی چلے گئے۔کراچی جاکر انھوں نے اپنی تعلیم جاری رکھی اوربالآخر اردو کالج کراچی میں شعبۂ اردو میں لیکچرار مقرر ہوئے اور محنت،لگن اورخلوص کی بدولت آخر میں شعبۂ اردو کے صدر بن گئے۔
قادری صاحب کوروہیلکھنڈ کی تاریخ، رجال اور اماکن پربڑی دسترس تھی۔اس کے علاوہ۱۸۵۷ء کی جنگِ آزادی کے ہیرو ان کی تحقیق کا محور تھے۔ انھوں نے مخدوم جہانیاںؒ کاایک تذکرہ لکھا اورمآثرالامراء کااردو میں ترجمہ کیا۔ مرحوم نے مجلہ اردو کالج کراچی کے کئی شاندار نمبرنکالے۔پاکستان اوربھارت کے علمی وادبی رسائل میں ان کے مضامین اکثرچھپتے رہتے تھے۔
۲۵/نومبر کی شام کو موصوف اپنے گھرواقع شمالی ناظم آباد سے چلے۔ابھی انھوں نے بمشکل سو سواسوگز کا فاصلہ طے کیاہوگا کہ ایک ویگن ان کے سرسے ٹکرا گئی اورموصوف موقع پرہی جان بحق ہوگئے۔
یہ بھی عجیب بات ہے کہ ان کے ایک حقیقی بھائی ابومعاویہ نعمت اﷲ قادری بھی ۲/فروری۱۹۸۱ء کولیاقت آباد کراچی میں ٹریفک کے ایک ایسے ہی حادثے میں جاں بحق ہوئے تھے۔ابومعاویہ کودیکھ کرقرنِ اوّل کے مسلمانوں کی یادتازہ ہوتی تھی۔انھوں نے اس مادی دور میں اپنے تمام بچوں کودینی مدارس میں تعلیم دلوائی۔
یہ دونوں بھائی بڑی خوبیوں کے مالک اور اعلیٰ انسانی اوصاف سے متصف تھے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کومغفرت وبخشش کی نعمتوں سے سرفراز فرمائے۔

Great lineage, good manners, trustworthiness, sincerity, courage and bravery, obedience, generosity, modesty, humility, thankfulness, absolute trust in Allah, education and upbringing, affection and compassion towards the elderly, the youth, slaves and animals, the regard for truth, the endurance and patience etc. Are such features that at them neither was the match for the Holy Master (saw) born, nor will any such person be ever born. In addition, let alone friends, his enemies were helpless to hold him as-Sadiq (the Truthful) and al-Ameen (the Trustworthy) due to these and many other great attributes; and they would say: Muhammad is not a liar at all, but we can’t believe in him as a prophet sent by Allah. Moreover, even a non-Muslim or polytheist has never criticized his character to this day, nor will anybody do till the judgment day. Whenever the greatest personalities of the world were listed or somebody committed to writing on the said topic, the Holy Prophet (saw) remained at the top of the list. Drawing of the swords of father and son against each other, the change of the standard of friendship and enmity, fighting of master and his slave against each other, chanting the slogan of Ahad-Ahad (the only One, the only One) on the blazing sand, giving priority to martyrdom over the utterance of a word of unbelief, taking a husband away from his wife and separating a mother from her infant, deforming the condition after a blasphemous blow on the blessed face, forced migration to Habsha (Abyssinia) at times, and laying siege to Shb-e-Abi Talib (the valley of Abi Talib) at times.
Most of the farmers of irrigated areas cultivate their fields with traditional tillage practices which increase the cost of production as well as delaying sowing which has adverse effects on crop growth and yield. In addition towards tillage, straw managing is a key factor for better crop growth and yield. Two field trials were conducted to estimate the “Crop residual management techniques with different tillage practices in a rice-wheat cropping system” at the Post Graduate Agricultural Research Station (PARS), University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during 2007-08 and 2008-09. Both the experiments were laid out on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement using four replications, in a net plot size of 10 m x 20 m. In the first experiment three tillage systems (conventional tillage, minimum tillage and zero tillage) were used in sub plots and straw management (removal of rice straw and burning of rice straw) in main plot was applied. Tillage systems significantly influenced soil physical properties, growth and yield characteristics as well as wheat yield. Reducing tillage improved soil structure and increased soil bulk density which led to higher crop yield. Happy seeder plots produced higher yield and yield components in comparison with other tillage systems. Wheat yield with happy seeder plots were 18% and 15 % higher than minimum and conventionally tilled plots respectively. Generally, differences between removal of rice straw and burning of rice straw were more pronounced; removal of rice straw had positive influence on growth, yield components, yield and grain quality. Increased grain weight per spike, 1000-grain weight and grain yield were recorded with burning of rice straw. Wheat yield with removal of rice straw was 17.5% and 14.55% higher than burning of rice straw respectively. The happy seeder yield was 5.2 t/ ha -1 which was higher in comparison with other tillage practices. Zero tillage showed positive association with protein contents but negative association with carbohydrate contents. Zero tillage was found best among all other tillage practices in rice-wheat cropping system of Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan.
