6. Al-An’am/The Livestock
I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah
The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.
06:01
All Praise and Gratitude be to Allah - the One and Only God,
WHO created without a precedent the celestial realm and the terrestrial world, and
made the darkness and the light.
Yet those who disbelieve ascribe other entities to their Rabb- The Lord.
06:02
It is HE WHO created you from clay,
and then decreed a span of lifetime for each one of you –
while another span of Time is appointed for the Final Judgment by HIM as well.
Yet despite that, you continue to doubt about it.
06:03
And HE is Allah in the celestial realm and also in the terrestrial world.
HE Knows exactly whatever you hide in your hearts and also whatever you utter publicly, and
HE also Knows whatever you are earning of good and evil – deeds, speech, and dealings.

a. Yet despite that not a Message comes to them with Messages from their Rabb - The Lord
without their turning away from it in denial.
06:05
And they have willfully and persistently belied the Truth – The Qur’an - when it came to them -
but soon will come to them the news of that which they have been ridiculing and mocking.
06:06
Do they not see in their travels as they pass by the ancient archaeological sites how many generations WE punished and destroyed before them?
WE had firmly established them in the land in a way WE have not established you.
And WE poured upon them plentiful rain from the...
Islam teaches its follower purification in every walk of life, be itassociated with creed, character, worship or economic activities; it is advised that they should avoid contaminated substance. Unlawful income (Maal-eHaram) is also prohibited by sharia to be earned or kept in custody; . However types of unlawful income are more than few, for instance riba, robbery, bribery etc and Sharia scholars have different views about each one of them, similarly opinions of sharia scholars are also different on profit earned on the lawful investment of unlawful income. In this paper, sharia guidelines regarding lawful and unlawful income is presented, different types of unlawful income and views of sharia scholars regarding the income and profit earnedfrom the investment of the same are mentioned with arguments, in the end suggestions are given in light of present era regarding each type of unlawful income.
Apricot is a highly nutritious fruit with a rich composition of health promoting components with a unique taste. Due to its perishable nature, enormous amounts of fresh produce goes to waste during peak season. In order to reduce the postharvest losses, the present study was designed in three phases. Initially, twelve commonly grown cultivars were characterized for their proximate composition, biochemical attributes, mineral contents and some technological traits. Among the tested cultivars, Habi variety had best physico-chemical and sensory attributes, Jahangir was rich in mineral contents, while Mirmalik had better technological traits. On the basis of overall quality characteristics, Habi variety was selected for the postharvest studies. The second phase was comprised of three experiments. Different concentrations of CaCl2 (1, 2, 3 and 4% w/v), salicylic acid (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mM w/v), polyethylene films of varying densities and wrapping paper as packaging material were applied to determine suitable treatment. Physiological, biochemical and microbial attributes were analyzed at two day interval. Three percent CaCl2 maintained quality attributes with lower microbial load and higher sensory acceptance up to 12 days followed by 2, 4% CaCl2 respectively during ambient storage. Similarly, 2 mM salicylic acid and low density polyethylene film significantly retained all the tested nutritional and biochemical traits. The combined effect of the best selected treatments (3% CaCl2, 2 mM salicylic acid and LDPE packaging with KMnO4) maintained acceptable quality of the fruit up to 18 days at ambient temperature. The present study provides a baseline for the effective postharvest application of calcium chloride and salicylic acid along with polyethylene packaging on apricot in order to reduce losses and increase its availability in the distant markets.
