Quality and yield of major fruits grown in country are far below their potential despite of favorable climatic conditions. Average yield of apple orchards in Pakistan is alarmingly lower than other apple producing countries in the world. In the fruit crops, either nutrient use is below optimum or in imbalanced proportions. Micronutrient disorder along with nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium deficiencies are of economic significance in this regard. It is estimated that Fe and zinc deficiencies are widespread occurring in about 30 to 50% of cultivated soils on the world scale. Murree is the only apple growing region in the Punjab Pakistan. Geo-statistics and GIS as diagnostic norms have not been used for nutrient indexation in the apple orchards and were neglected from nutrition management point of view. A field survey was conducted to examine the spatial dependence of micronutrients and to prepare the spatial distribution maps for the micronutrients in the soils. Field trials were conducted for site specific zinc nutrition assessment. The specific objectives of study were: (i) Micronutrients indexation (zinc, copper, iron and manganese) of soil and foliage of apple orchards in Murree (ii) Mapping and geo-statistical analysis of micronutrients in apple cultivated Murree area (iii) Impact of zinc nutrition on apple yield and fruit quality parameters. One hundred and eighty soil and associated foliage samples were collected from 30 selected apple orchards using grid of 6×6 m. General deficiency of plant available zinc prevailed in the orchard soils of Murree area followed by slight Mn deficiency. Widespread deficiency of zinc existed in the foliage of apple orchards followed by site-specific deficiency of manganese, iron and copper respectively. Plant available 2 zinc, copper and manganese were moderately spatial dependant in the surface and strongly spatial dependent in the subsurface and lower soil depth whereas moderate spatial dependence of plant available Fe at three depths was observed. Moderate to strong spatial dependence allowed us to prepare the digital maps for spatial distribution of micronutrients in the area. Moderate to strong spatial dependence of plant available micronutrient indicated a need for the development of variable fertilizer (micronutrient) rate technology by conducting field trials in various zones delineated in this study. Field trials were conducted by selecting 6 apple orchards, two from each low, medium and adequate in soil zinc but low in foliage zinc content. Treatment plan included T1= Zn 0 g/ tree, T2 = Zn 20 g/ tree, T3 = Zn 30 g/ tree and T4 = Zn 40 g/ tree with the basal dose of NPK per tree. Zinc fertilizer application resulted in increase in the apple yield and yield components. Thirty gram zinc produced maximum yield in the low zinc soils while twenty gram zinc resulted in optimum yield in medium and high zinc soils. Zinc fertilization increased size, number, yield and firmness of fruit. Zinc application decreased titratable acidity and relative electrical conductivity. Significant interaction between the treatments and location manifested differential response due to native zinc content in the soils.

1۔ حدِ زنا

1۔ حدِ زنا
زنا کا لغوی و اصطلاحی مفہوم
زنا کثیر المعنی لفظ ہے ۔ اس کا ایک معنی ہے، عظیم ، بلند، چنانچہ ابن فارس تحریر کرتے ہیں
"الزاء والنون والحرف المعتل لا تتضايف، ولا قياس فيها لواحدةٍ على أخرى. فالأوَّل الزِّنَى، معروف. ويقال إنّه يمدّ ويقصر. یقال أبا حاضِرٍ مَنْ يَزْنِ يُعرَف زنَاؤُهُ ۔ "71
"زنا کا اصل زا ء اور نون اور آخر میں ی معتل ہے اس میں کسی اور چیز کا اضافہ نہیں ہوسکتا اور اس میں ایک کو دوسرے پر قیاس نہیں کیا جا سکتا ۔ اس میں پہلا مادہ زَنَی َ ہے اور یہی معروف ہے اور یہ مدہ اور قصر دونوں کے ساتھ پڑھا جا سکتا ہے جیسے کہا جاتا ہے کہ وہ ایسا بلند مرتبہ شخص ہے جس کا عظیم مرتبت ہونا مشہور ہے۔ "
زنا حرام کا م ہے اور عظیم گناہوں میں ایک گناہ ہے ۔ ابن قدامہ نے زنا کو عظیم اور بڑا گناہ کہا ہے
"الزنا حرام وهو من الكبائر العظام ۔"72
زنا کا ایک معنی ہے گھر والے سے بغاوت کرنے والی عورت ،جیسا کہ ابن منظور لکھتےہیں
"الزِّنا يمد ويقصر زَنَى الرجلُ يَزْني زِنىً مقصور وزناءً ممدود وكذلك المرأَة وزانى مُزاناةً وزَنَّى كَزَنى... والمرأَة تُزانِي مُزاناةً وزِناء أَي تُباغِي۔ "73
"زنا مدہ اور قصر کے ساتھ پڑھا جا سکتا ہے" زَنَى الرجلُ يَزْني زِنىً" یہ مقصور ہے اور "وزناءً " یہ ممدود ہے اور اسی طرح عورت کے بارے میں ہے کہ زانیہ عورت یعنی اپنے گھر والے کے حق میں بغاوت کرنے والی ہے۔ "
بغیر نکاح کے کسی غیر عورت سے ہم بستری کرنا زنا کہلاتا ہے اور امام راغب اصفہانی کے بقول زنا
"الزنا وطءُ المراۃمن غیر عقد شرعی۔ "74
"عقد شرعی کے بغیر کسی عورت سے ہم بستری کرنا ہے۔ "
اصطلاحی مفہوم یہ ہے کہ...

اجماع کی اہمیت شریعت اسلامی کی روشنی میں

Ijmāʿ is an important mode of Ijtihād and well known principle of Islamic Sharʿiah. Historically it is evident that incidence of Ijmāʿ )Consensus( restricted only to four Caliphates of Islam only. This Collective Ijtihād and Collective Opinion was actually the decision of the Islamic State followed and obeyed by the all Muslims specially by "Ṣaḥābah" (Companions of the Holy Prophet), this is why it is called Ijmāʿ-e- Ṣaḥābah. These decisions were applicable and binding to all Muslims living elsewhere in the world, because at that time there was centralized ruling system (Khilāfat-e-Wāḥidah). Now Muslim world has split into many states, so every state has its own decision making institutions and hence such Ijtihād and Ijmāʿ, Islamic Legislation Activities should be validated within those states as Ijtihād and Ijmāʿ except issues relevant to general interest as whole human being and all Muslims. In such issues International level consensus of Islamic Jurists would be required. "Ijmāʿ", actually it is the same processes. More over any "Ijmāʿ" held in a time period can be revoked by any new situation in future as per requirement of the time. It is the inevitable demand of dynamism of Islam to correlate it to every need of the time.

Phytic Acid in Relation to Minerals Availability at Different Extraction Rates of Wheat Flour

Minerals are one of the nutrient groups vital to the human health and the deficiencies of minerals remain a momentous public health problem in many parts of the world, predominantly in developing and under developing countries where imperfection to vitamin A, iron, iodine and other micronutrients leads to adverse health disorders. The phytic acid has serious health concerns as it decreases the bioavailability of many essential minerals by interacting with multivalent cations and proteins to form complexes that may be insoluble or otherwise unavailable under physiologic conditions. This project is designed to increase the availability of minerals in flour with high and low extraction rates. In the present study three wheat varieties namely AARI-11, Faisalabad-08 and Lasani-08 at different extraction rates were characterized with special reference to physico-chemical analysis. The grains of each wheat variety was tempered and then milled through Quadrumate Senior Mill and whole wheat flour was formed through Udy Cyclon Mill. The results showed that significant variations were found in physico- chemical analysis and mineral profile of different wheat varieties. The test weight and thousand kernel weight ranged from 73.79 to 76.97 kg/hL and 40.71 to 43.85 grams, respectively, among different wheat varieties. The chemical parameters including moisture, ash, protein, fat and fiber contents were affected significantly by the wheat varieties and the extraction rates. The results exhibited variations among different extraction rates flour. It was revealed that 70% extraction rates flour possessed the highest moisture (12.36%), wet and dry gluten contents (27.56% and 10.58%, respectively) where as the whole wheat flour exhibited the highest ash (1.66%), fat (2.48%), protein (12.84%) and fiber (1.54%) contents. Rheological characteristics i.e. Farinographic and Mixographic studies of the flour were significantly affected by the different extraction rates and wheat varieties. The whole wheat flour exhibited the highest mineral contents as compared to the flour with low extraction rates. Hydrochloric acid extractability of minerals was increased significantly with the increase in extraction rates and significantly affected by the extraction rates and wheat varieties. Low phytate flour was prepared through autoclaving, fermentation and enzymatic degradation of phytic acid. The phytic acid content was significantly affected by the different processing treatments. The highest phytic acid content was found in whole wheat flour. Sensory parameters of chapattis and naan demonstrated non significant (P>0.05) effect among the wheat varieties where as significant effect was observed among the extraction rates. The efficacy study was conceded and degraded phytic acid samples were fed to rats for the analysis of serum biochemical profile. Two year study i.e. 2011 and 2012 was carried out to check the efficiency of the product and then results of both years were compared. It was concluded that fermented flour has higher value in the bioavailability of the minerals
