حضرت شاہ آفاق احمد ردولویؒ
درگاہ شریف، ردولی۔
محترمی! تسلیمات
خدا کرے آپ کا مزاج اچھا ہو، اس سے پہلے بھی میں دو خط آپ کو تحریر کرچکا ہوں مگر جواب سے محروم ہوں۔ خدا معلوم وہ خطوط آپ تک پہنچے بھی یا نہیں، میرے حقیقی ماموں حضرت شاہ آفاق احمد سجادہ نشین درگاہ شیخ العام ردولی شریف کا ۲۵؍ جولائی ۸۰ء کو اچانک میڈیکل کالج لکھنؤ میں قلبی دورہ پڑنے سے انتقال ہوگیا، ان کو پہلا دورہ ردولی شریف میں پڑا تھا اس کے بعد تین دورے میڈیکل کالج لکھنؤ میں پڑے، ڈاکٹروں نے پیس میکر لگانے کو کہا وہ بھی لگادیا گیا۔ مگر موت کے آگے اور خداوند عالم کی مرضی کے آگے کوئی اختیار نہیں چلتا، چونکہ اکثر بیشتر وہ آپ کا تذکرہ فرمایا کرتے تھے اسی لئے ان کی بیماری کی اطلاع بھی ۳۰؍ جون کو آپ کو اور وسیم الحسن صاحب کو بھی دے دی تھی، اس کے بعد ۲۸؍ جولائی کو انتقال کی بھی خبر تحریر کردی تھی، اسی سال عرس شریف کی ۱۴؍ تاریخ کی شب کی محفل میں اپنے بڑے صاحبزادے تمیم میاں صاحب مرحوم جن کا بھی اچانک بقرعید میں انتقال ہوا تھا ان کے بڑے صاحبزادے نیرمیاں کی دستار بندی اپنے ہاتھوں کردی تھی اور خرقہ شریف بھی انہیں کو پہنا دیا تھا، چونکہ نیرمیاں ابھی طالب علم ہیں اور بی۔کام کررہے ہیں، اس لئے ماموں صاحب مرحوم نے اپنے چھوٹے صاحبزادے حسین میاں کو نیرمیاں کا ولی اور سرپرست مقرر کردیا ہے، جو نیرمیاں کی جگہ پر سجادگی کے فرائض انجام دے رہے ہیں، مگر ابھی دونوں صاحبزادگان بچے ہیں آپ حضرات ہی ان کے سرپرست اور بزرگ ہیں، اس کم عمری میں ان کے اوپر اتنی بڑی ذمہ داری آپڑی ہے، لہٰذا آپ حضرات کی شفقت دیرینہ ہی ان کی تسلی کا باعث ہوگی، چہلم...
The present paper is the study of the methodology which Shaykh Abu al-Ḥasan Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Hādī al-Sindī al-Kabīr (d.1139 AH) adopted in writing a concise commentary on most authentic book of Ḥadīth, Saḥīḥ al-Bukharī. His life and works have been studied and analyzed elsewhere. (See. Al-Azwa, Sheikh Zayed Islamic Centre, University of Punjab, June, 2012, pp. 327-44). This study delving in his Commentary brings to the fore the depth and breadth of his scholarship in various branches of Islamic sciences including usūl, fiqh and Arabic eloquence. It further shows how skillfully he applied his knowledge of these sciences in elaboration of the most authentic Ḥadīth work meticulously compiled by Muḥammad b. Ismaʿīl al-Bukharī (194-265 AH). The study concludes that his methodology in elaborating terminology of usūl, fiqh and Arabic eloquence is one of the best works of its kind. Hence, commentary may well be considered as one of the significant sources for the study of Saḥīḥ al-Bukharī.
The war-torn Afghanistan has long suffered from the dynastical contests and fraught economic strategies of foreigners, which instigated constant internal strife and regional instability. The foreign interventions have made this land sphere of influence and initiated the great game politics sporadically. The 9/11 incident is considered a yardstick in changing geopolitical scenario and security patterns not only in international arena but also in the canvas of Afghanistan. However, in this scenario, changes in geopolitical dynamics altered the nature and scope of the great game. Afghanistan conundrum has transformed into the international conflict with regional flavor, as the US de-hyphenated Pakistan and India in pursuit of it grand strategy of Global War on Terrorism and tilted towards India. As a result, India has gained influential role in Afghanistan on the basis of its soft power approach. Therefore, this study looks at the controversial nexus between Afghanistan and India, marked by strategic and economic determinants, and their implications for Pakistan under the tenure of Hamid Karzai through comparative and critical content analysis of primary and secondary sources under historical and retrospective-prospective study designs in qualitative approach. The dissertation attempts to examine the current geostrategic tussle in Afghanistan among different non-regional and regional players over control and manipulation of Afghanistan and its surrounding regions through the lens of conceptual framework of unintended consequences approach, which deals with irrational aspect of foreign policy of the states. This study makes interesting contribution to the existing literature of the old Great Game (OGG) or the New Great Game (NGG) by re-conceptualizing the new concept of Grand Great Game or the 3G in place of explaining the unintended consequences of post-9/11 power play in the region and making Afghanistan an international conflict. The findings of this dissertation suggest the current 3G to be not only multidimensional competition, embodying multiple stakeholders but also incorporating complex self-defined rational as well as irrational foreign policy objectives and national interests. The current paradigm also distinguishes itself by transforming the international conflict into a regional one as well. This study mainly explores the regional conflict in Afghanistan under the framework of proxy war between Pakistan and India. Indeed, the unintended consequences of the 3G are bitterer than the reality. The foreign interventions have paralyzed the Afghan society and made it more insecure by promoting clandestine terrorist activities and proxies. Here, this 3G is about economic designs by social and cultural means for the realistic ends at large. The players are fulfilling their unattained aspirations through terrorism in the region. The OGG was related to the battle of borders. Throughout the history of Afghan land, it has been observed that the most-affected land of all prevailing evils in Afghanistan is Pakistan. Death squads of terrorists have been prepared against both lands which have killed their thousands of people in the post- 9/11. Pakistan has paid a heavy cost of this continued death squad of terrorism for its national sovereignty. In short, both situations of chaos and peace in Afghanistan are directly proportional to Pakistan’s instability and stability.
