پروفیسر نجیب اشرف ندوی
افسوس ہے کہ پچھلے دنوں ممبئی میں پروفیسر نجیب اشرف ندوی کا اور کراچی میں مفتی انتظام اﷲ صاحب شہابی اکبرآبادی کاانتقال ہوگیا۔پروفیسر اشرف کا اُٹھان بڑاشاندار تھااُنھوں نے معارف میں جو مقالات لکھے تھے اور رقعات عالمگیری کی تحقیق وترتیب اوراُس پرمستقل ایک جلد میں مقدمہ لکھ کر انھوں نے جس قابلیت کا ثبوت دیاتھا اُس کی وجہ سے ان سے بڑی توقعات تھیں۔لیکن احمدآباد اور پھر ممبئی کی آب وہوانے ان کو بجھا سادیا تھا پھر بھی انجمن اسلام اردو ریسرچ انسٹی ٹیوٹ ممبئی کے ڈائرکٹر اورانجمن کے سہ ماہی رسالہ ’’نوائے ادب‘‘ کے ایڈیٹر کی حیثیت سے ان کی علمی وادبی سرگرمیاں کسی نہ کسی صورت میں جاری رہیں۔ چنانچہ اس زمانہ میں ہی انھوں نے ’’لغت گجری‘‘ ترتیب دی تھی ۔ بہرحال اُن کے دم سے اردو زبان سے متعلق تحقیق وریسرچ کا ممبئی میں چرچا تھااور اس بناپر اُن کی وفات علم وادب کی دنیا کاایک بڑاسانحہ ہے۔ [اکتوبر۱۹۶۸ء]
Sains (ilmu pengetahuan) merupakan sesuatu yang penting dalam agama Islam. Integrasi sains dan agama berarti berupaya untuk memadukan antara sains dan agama, tak harus berarti menyatukan atau bahkan mencampuradukan, karena identitas atau watak dari masing-masing kedua entitas itu tak mesti hilang dan harus tetap dipertahankan. Dalam paradigma Islam, integrasi antara agama dan sains adalah sesuatu yang mungkin adanya, karena didasarkan pada gagasan ke-Esa-an (tauhid). Sudah saatnya, sains dan agama harus menghadirkan kesadaran yang muncul lewat pandangan-pandangan yang lebih harmonis, holistik, dan komprehensif. Alat digital merupakan salah satu medium terbaik untuk tujuan tersebut. Artikel ini merangkum bagaimana Integrasi Ilmu dan Islamisasi Digital menciptakan ruang bagi umat Islam untuk menggabungkan spiritualitas dengan teknologi, menghasilkan dampak positif dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan. Dengan mengambil langkah-langkah menuju integrasi ini, umat Islam dapat menjaga identitas keagamaan mereka sambil tetap berkontribusi dalam era digital yang terus berkembang.
With the objective to produce stable Cu nanoparticles (NPs) of size ≤10 nm for their multi- facet applications particularly as an electrocatalyst for the CO 2 reduction, various synthesis routes have been systematically applied. Otherwise quite reactive towards atmosphere, the desired Cu NPs were stabilized by incorporating the metal in inert matrix of Au to produce Au x Cu 1-x NPs (x=0 to 1). For the purpose both single- and two-phase wet chemical routes having various combinations of stabilizers, reductants and reaction media were employed and the NPs were characterized by various pertinent techniques such as UV-visible and FTIR spectroscopy, TEM, HRTEM, STEM, elemental analysis, XPS and XRD. The NPs synthesized using alkyl amines, acting as both phase transfer agents and stabilizers, were not only in the desired size range but also exhibited adequate stability. However, the most interesting feature of amine-capped bimetallic NPs, confirmed using HRTEM, STEM and XPS measurements, was the surface segregation of Cu. From the temperature dependent XRD studies higher crystallinity in the cores of Au x Cu 1-x NPs has been established. As for the pure Cu nanostructures, they were produced on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) from acidified SO 42− and Cl − media using chronoamperometry (CA), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry on rotating GCE (RDE); the techniques also provided useful information such as optimal conditions to be applied for the CO 2 reduction reaction (CRR) on in-situ produced Cu nanostructures. Regarding the Cu nucleation, CV study provided various relevant parameters and CA data fitted to the Scharifker-Hills models furnished information on kinetics and mechanism while RDE experiments were utilized to find out kinetic current density (j k ) and rate constant (k f ) of the process. FESEM coupled with EDX clearly demonstrated formation of Cu nano-dendrites. Differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) has been used to establish products of the CRR. From the above mentioned electrochemical techniques it has been demonstrated that instead of using bulk Cu, addition of just few mM Cu(II) in the reaction mixture produces more efficient and durable in-situ catalyst for the CRR. Compared to SO 42− it is better to use Cl − medium which renders stability to Cu(I) centers that have additional role towards higher catalytic activity of the in- situ Cu. An interesting phenomenon observed for the CO 2 -saturated solutions is the splitting of Cu anodic peak with the Cl − concentration; a mechanism has been proposed which could very well be substantiated by additional CV experiments carried out in the presence of Cu(I) and CO. DEMS experiments employed for online characterization of the CRR products have provided evidence for the formation of CH 3 OH and CH 4 which being products of interest in the area of alternate fuels.
