پروفیسر محمد الیاس برنی
افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ مہینوں میں دنیائے علم و ادب کی دو نامور شخصیتیں پروفیسر محمد الیاس برنی اور خلیفہ عبدالحکیم ہم سے جدا ہوگئے، پروفیسر الیاس برنی علی گڑھ کالج کے نامور فرزند تھے، حصول تعلیم کے بعد کالج ہی میں معاشیات کے لکچرار ہوگئے تھے، پھر دارالترجمہ کے رکن کی حیثیت سے حیدرآباد چلے گئے اور کچھ دنوں تک اس کے ناظم بھی رہے، پھر جامعہ عثمانیہ میں معاشیات کے استاد مقرر ہوگئے، اور اسی عہدہ سے سبکدوش ہوئے، تعلیم و تدریس کے ساتھ تالیف و تصنیف کا سلسلہ بھی برابر جاری رہا، جامعہ عثمانیہ کے لیے معاشیات کی کئی کتابیں لکھیں، اس فن کو اردو میں سب سے پہلے ان ہی نے روشناس کیا تھا، ان کی پہلی تصنیف علم المعیشت ایک زمانہ میں بہت مشہور تھی۔ شعر و ادب کا مذاق بھی رکھتے تھے، معارف ملت، جذبات فطرت اور مناظر قدرت کے نام سے کئی حصوں میں اردو نظموں کا ایک نہایت عمدہ انتخاب مرتب کیا تھا جو بہت مقبول ہوا۔

Trade has been considered as the most important mode of caring livelihood. Trade is considered as sole biggest medium because all other modes carry secondary position, as they all derive from trade in one way or the other. That’s way crafts and services have gained much success in this era of machinery and technology. In spite of all this trade assumes the same highest positions in this era too. Islam has not left trade on its own but has framed principles. These principles are not only helpful on individual scale but they give benefits to whole community. It benefits in this world and hereafter of its users. Islam is an eternal religion, so it addresses all problems of this era and of upcoming in its teachings.

They trade far and wide on the basis of Islamic principles. They not only maintained their businesses, but also preached Islam through their just dealings and humble behavior. Their customers or the people who come into their contact were so impressed that they not only became Muslims but also changed their traditions, Customs, culture and even languages. This article discusses the reasons that explicate the beauty of Trade.

Men are far behind the knowledge about contraceptives, authority of decisions making, religiosity, exposure of media, health attitude, physical cost, Knowledge of HIV/STDs, drugs and family planning services. These circumstances have damaging-effect on men''s reproductive health as well. The poor reproductive health of men in the entire Pakistan has been reported in many studies. The different national and international agencies have shown a great concern on this alarming situation of men''s deteriorating reproductive health status. They have recommended to investigate the men reproductive health status in relation to different aspects. In this context the main objectives of this study is to identify and analyze different types of socio-cultural characteristics, affect the attitudes, lack of awareness of respondents toward reproductive health behaviour were examioned in Punjab-Pakistan.

From each Tehsil equal no. of respondents was selected from rural and urban areas by random sampling technique to explore the research objectives. In this way the total sample size will be 600. 300 from rural and 300 from urban areas. A well-structured questionnaire consisting of open ended and close ended questions has been prepared in the light of research objectives. Pre-testing was also in the study plan to examine the work-ability of questionnaire and to know the sensitive issues which can be tackled intelligently.

Recommendations: Based on the research findings it is suggested that a general acceptance of contraceptive use, men along with women should be include in the target group as most of the decisions regarding family planning and contraception necessitate prior approval of male partners. Men shall be educate to give women all due rights especially their reproductive rights and involve them in reproductive and contraceptive decision making. Awareness should be created amongst male to give their women freedom of expression and let them join paid jobs, thereby making the family economically prosperous. Perceptions of the respondents were clear about family planning, awareness should be created against religious misconceptions and make it more convenient for the illiterates in the form of a packages deal. It would be more appropriate to tackle family planning campaign in the light of baby care and mother health along with strongly advocating improvement of economic conditions of the family. All income groups should be convinced to use contraceptives as an effective tool for family planning, more stress should be given on low and medium income groups, discourage the preferential gender treatment and involved their wives in all family matters. Primary health center (PHC) programs must be geared to meet men’s needs. Communication between spouses about RH should be developed through awareness. PHC service providers are mostly female, males should be inducted.
