Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to see the effect of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) oil at 1, 2% and neem seed water extract at 2, 4% alone, in combination with bio-control agents (Trichogramma chilonis and Chrysoperla carnea) with that of synthetic chemicals viz. Actara 24WG (60gmha-1), Imidacloprid 25%WP (625 gmha-1), Fenpropathrin 20EC (750mLha-1), Polytrin-C 440EC (1250mLha-1) and proclaim 19EC (500mLha-1) against sucking insects i.e. whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.), Jassid (Emrosca devastans Dist.), thrips (Thrips tabaci Lind,) and chewing insects i.e. spotted bollworm (Earias insulana Boisd.), american bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera Hubner) and pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella Saund.) of cotton (CIM-499). Crop was sprayed 5 times during the cotton season. First spray was carried out 45 days after the date of sowing of crop and repeated at an interval of 15 days of first spray and so on. Data of population dynamics of sucking insects were recorded 24 hours before and then, 24, 168 and 336 hours after each spray. The data for American and spotted bollworms infestation were recorded 168 and 336 hours after each spray while for Pectinophora gossypiella, the bolls were collected on 15th of August, 14th September and 15th October 2005 and 2006 and dissected in the Laboratory to calculate the infestation. For the yield of seed cotton, the picking was started when 50 % bolls were open/ready for picking and was continued up to end of crop. Overall, after synthetic insecticides, neem oil 2%+bio-control agents (Trichogramma chilonis and Chrysoperla carnea) reduced significantly (p<0.05) % population of sucking insects (thrips. whitefly and jassid) and % infestation of bollworms (American and spotted) of cotton (168 hours after each spray). In case of pink bollworm, the bolls collected on 15th August, 15th September and 15th October, effect of treatmentsand time period/observations were found significant (p<0.05) on % damage/infestation of pink bollworm.The lowest mean % damage (5.00%) recoded in the treatment treated with insecticides followed by N2+B (8.89 %), N1+B (10%) and W4+B (11.11%) which performed similar while the highest mean % damage recorded in W2 with 22.78 % and N1 with 21.11 % which performed similar compared with control (25.56%). Neem oil 2 % (14.44 %) and W4 (17.18%) gave similar results. Best results were received from the bolls collected during 15th August (8.83%) damage. Maximum yield of seed cotton (1494 kg) was received in the plot treated with N2+B after insecticide (1895 kg). Neem derivatives at all tested concentrations have significant negative effect on settling response of whitefly and jassid on cotton leaves as compare with that in their respective control (untreated). Significantly lower numbers of test insects settled on neem derivatives treated leaves except N1 and W2 in spotted bollworm as compare with that in their respective control. Intensity of numbers of test insects settled on neem derivatives was lower at higher concentrations of neem derivatives due to repellent/deterrent effect of neem derivatives. Neem derivatives at all concentrations affected development (larvaeandpupae) of spotted bollworm. Significantly minimum survival of larvae and maximum larval mortality and less pupal formation was observed in Fenpropathrin 20EC application due to its toxic effect while neem derivatives at higher concentration also affected survival of larvae and resulted into larval mortality due to toxic effect of neem derivatives. Pupal formation was affected at higher tested concentrations of neem derivatives due to growth regulating effect of neem derivatives. Adult formation was not significantly affected by any treatment. The longest larval and pupal duration were observed at higher concentrations of neem derivatives due to growth regulating effect of neem derivatives. In laboratory trials, all the neem derivatives (indirect effect) had non-significant differences on the parasitism by Trichogramma chilonis on Helicoverpa eggs. Though, in the N2 treatment, % parasitization was significantly lower (P<0.05) than % parasitization in W2 treatment (indirect and direct effect). Adult emergence of T. chilonis was not affected by the concentrations of neem derivatives. Percent parasitization of Helicoverpa eggs by T. chilonis were inhibited (indirectand direct effect) in treatment of Proclaim 19EC (Insecticide) along with adult emergence too due to toxic effect of Proclaim 19EC. Neem derivatives at different concentrations and insecticide have significantly altered feeding/consumption ability of predator (p<0.05). The highest % consumption of aphids by Chrysoperla carnea was observed in the treatments of low concentrations of neem derivatives while the lowest % consumption of aphids was noted in the treatments in insecticide and higher concentrations of neem derivatives. Aphid % consumption by Chrysoperla carnea at different prey (aphids) densities were significantly different (p<0.05). Percent consumption of 75.87% was recorded when offered 16 aphids day-1 to predator. No significant differences were observed in % consumption when offered 32, 48, 64 and 80 aphids day-1 to predator. Effect of treatments (neem derivatives at different concentrations and insecticide) and different instars of Chrysoperlacarnea were found significant (P<0.05) on % consumption/feeding of aphids. The highest reduction in prey % consumption rate by Chrysoperla carnea was observed in Imidacloprid 25%WP application (31.77%) followed by N2(69.19%) and W4 (70.61%) while the lowest reduction in prey % consumption rate by Chrysoperla carnea was observed in the treatment of N1 (91.77%) and W2 (91.44%) as compared with control (94.94%). The highest % consumption of aphids was observed by the 2nd instar larvae (75.94%) followed by 1st instar (74.82%) of Chrysoperla carnea.

برکتوں سے بھرا ہے سفر نعت کا

برکتوں سے بھرا ہے سفر نعت کا
رُوح پر ہو رہا ہے اثر نعت کا

لفظ آتا ہے تو اِذن ِ سرکارؐ سے
ایک اک لفظ ہے معتبر نعت کا

راہِ مضمون ِ تازہ کہاں بند ہے
تا قیامت کُھلا ہے یہ در نعت کا

دشتِ شعر و سخن کی کڑی دُھوپ میں
سایہ دیتا رہے گا شجر نعت کا

شاخِ معنی ہوئی بارور، آگیا
برگ و بار ثنا اور ثمر نعت کا

اِ س پہ ابلیس کا آنا جانا نہیں
راستہ ہے سدا بے خطر نعت کا

اکتساب اِس میں ذرّہ برابر نہیں
ہے سراسر عطا یہ ہنر نعت کا

حاضری ہو کبھی روضئہ پاک پر
لے کے دیوان یہ مختصر نعت کا

اسلام میں تبدیلی مذہب کا مطالعہ: ایک تنقیدی تجزیہ

Muslim scholars have produced various writings in which the process of conversion to Islam has been presented in the form of narratives. However, less consideration has been given to the understanding of nature of this process. Furthermore, the elements which originate and shape this process have also been ignored in the previous studies. After analyzing the sources concerning the study of conversion to Islam, the current article argues that the previous studies, especially by the Muslim scholars, were mostly written for Daʻwah purposes. They did not encourage the analytical dimension of the conversion studies. For a grasp of the complex elements and the strategies underlying this process, the Western scholars divide religious conversion into its diverse types while providing different motifs. However, a critical analysis of their works points out that some of these types and motifs are not applicable to Islam. The current article points out the elements helpful in explaining the process of conversion to Islam keeping in line with the Holy Qur’ān and Sunnah. Moreover, this paper also purports that the study of Ḥadīth, spiritual experiences of converts, and the opinions of the scholars supports the concept of fiṭrah to be used as a framework for a thorough understanding of this process.

Impact of Culture on Language of Newspapers: A Comparative Analysis of 'Dawn' and 'The Time'

Impact of Culture on Language of Newspapers: A Comparative Analysis of 'Dawn' and 'The Time' The present research was conducted in order to find out idiosyncratic cultural differences between Pakistani and British newspapers. The data of the present research has been collected from ‘Dawn’ and ‘The Times’. The former is a Pakistani newspaper whereas the latter a British newspapers. The data regarding nine categories including religion, clothing, food, music, festivals, architecture, politics, sports and society has been analyzed from both newspapers. Besides investigating the cultural differences between the languages of Pakistani and British newspapers, the present research was also conducted in order to highlight the borrowings and innovations that have been made in the languages of newspapers published in Pakistan. It has been analyzed from the data collected from Pakistani and British newspapers that there is a great impact of culture on the language of newspapers. The vocabulary use in Pakistani newspapers differs from the British newspapers. Both Pakistani and British newspapers use culture specific vocabulary. This culture specific vocabulary reflects the cultural impact of those areas in which they are published. The English newspapers published in Pakistan borrow words from the local languages in order to convey particular meanings that are associated with their culture. Therefore, the newspapers borrow words, use hybridization and make innovations in order to convey the particular meanings that are associated with their culture.
