The study was designed to determine the effect of various dehydration techniques on the nutritional quality of mango (Mangifera indica L.) products. In the first phase of the study, nutritional characteristics of fresh immature mango of different varieties were determined. The results revealed that maximum TSS, protein, non-reducing sugar, K and Cu were recorded in variety Langra. Whereas, maximum moisture, ash, fat, total sugar, reducing sugar and Mn were observed in variety Sindhri, however, variety Chaunsa showed higher vitamin C, Mg and Cr content. It was further observed that variety Desi was rich in minerals such as Na, Ca, Zn and Fe with maximum acidity. In the second phase of the study mango powder was prepared from different mango varieties using different drying techniques. The results of mango powder prepared with-peel showed that variety Chaunsa had significantly higher moisture and vitamin C content, whereas TSS, total sugar, reducing sugar, Ca, K, Mg, Cu were higher in without peel powder in variety Chaunsa than other varieties. Among the drying methods, maximum moisture was retained in wooden glass drying method (12.88%), whereas, maximum TSS, ash, protein, vitamin C and non-reducing sugar were observed in mango powder dried under cabinet drying method. Moreover, the majority of the minerals were found in maximum quantity in mango powder dried under wooden glass drying method. During the third phase of the study the unripe and ripened mangoes of different varieties were picked from various tree positions viz. top, middle and bottom. The results revealed that during ripening period the TSS was increased in all the varieties. It was further observed that maximum moisture (85.28%) and total sugar (29.36%) was observed in ripened Chaunsa mangoes. The higher Vitamin C content (26.34mg 100g-1) was found in ripened Langra mangoes than other varieties. The unripe variety Desi had the highest acidity (0.47%) as compared to other unripe and ripened mango varieties. It was also observed that minerals were significantly higher in unripe than ripened mangoes, Na, Ca and Zn were higher in variety Desi, Mg, Fe, Cr and Mn were maximum in variety Chaunsa, whereas, variety Sindhri and Langra were rich in K and Cu, respectively. Among the mangoes picked from different tree positions, moisture, TSS, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, ash, acidity, vitamin C, Na, Ca, Fe, Mg, Cr and Mn were higher in mangoes picked from top tree position as compared to middle and bottom positions. xv In the last phase of the study, the slices were prepared from mangoes of different varieties obtained from top, middle and bottom tree positions using different drying methods. It was reflected that the mango slices of variety Chaunsa prepared from top tree position mangoes, had the highest pH, ash, TSS and vitamin C content. It was further observed that moisture content was highest (12.88%) in slices of mangoes of variety Sindhri obtained from top tree position and dried under wooden glass drying method. However, total sugar, reducing and non-reducing sugars were significantly higher in slices of variety Chaunsa obtained from top tree position, whereas, Ca content of variety Desi was higher in cabinet drying method in slices prepared from top tree position than all other varieties. Cabinet drying method resulted in higher quantities of K (819.60 mg kg-1), Mg (78.64 mg kg-1), Zn (2.62 mg kg-1), Fe (6.86 mg kg-1), Cu (5.92 mg kg-1), Cr (1.02 mg kg-1) and Mn (3.22 mg kg-1) as compared to open sun drying and wooden glass drying methods. The sensory evaluation of mango powder prepared under cabinet dehydration method proved to be better from variety Desi without peel than other varieties investigated, while mango slices of variety Chaunsa prepared from top tree position under cabinet dehydration resulted in better quality than other varieties and drying methods. It was concluded from the present study that cabinet dehydration method proved to be better in the preparation of mango powder and slices than other two drying methods. The study further confirmed that mango powder and slices prepared from variety Chaunsa were superior in quality and all other nutritional characteristics than other varieties. Similarly, mango slices prepared from top tree position were better in quality than those made from middle and bottom tree positions.

مولانا شاہ عبدلحلیم جون پوری
گزشتہ دنوں ضلع جون پور اور اس کے نوح کے مشہور شیخ طریقت اور ممتاز عالم ربانی مولانا شاہ عبدلحلیم صاحب جونپوری رحلت فرماگئے۔ اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
مولانائے مرحوم ۱۹۰۷؁ء میں ضلع فیض آباد کے ایک گاؤں دیوریا میں پیدا ہوئے ابتدائی تعلیم مدرسہ عین العلوم ٹانڈہ میں ہوئی۔ مظاہرالعلوم سہارنپور سے سند فراغت حاصل کی۔ ابتداً مظاہرالعلوم ہی میں مدرس مقرر ہوئے مگر طبیعت کی خرابی کی بنا پر جلد ہی اپنے وطن واپس آگئے، یہاں مسلمان بچوں کی ابتدائی تعلیم کے لیے ایک مکتب قائم کیا پھر ترک سکونت کرکے ضلع جونپور کے قدیم مردم خیز قصبہ مانی کلاں میں مستقل بود وباش اختیار کی۔ اور یہیں کے قدیم مدرسہ میں درس و تدریس پر مامور ہوگئے۔ ۱۹۷۳؁ء میں مانی کلاں کو خیرباد کہہ کر اس کے قریب ہی لب سڑک واقع موضع گورینی میں ایک مدرسہ ریاض العلوم کی بنیاد رکھی، جس نے مولانائے مرحوم کی سرپرستی و نگرانی میں بڑی ترقی کی۔
مولانا کی طبیعت کا رجحان ہمیشہ رشد و اصلاح کی طرف رہا، اس نواح میں ان کی ذات سے لوگوں کو بڑا فیض پہنچا، وہ شاہ وصی اﷲ فتح پوریؒ اور شیخ الحدیث مولانا محمد زکریاؒ کے مسترشد اور خلیفہ تھے، جونپور اور اعظم گڑھ کے علاوہ بمبئی اور گجرات وغیرہ میں بھی ان کے مریدین کا بڑا حلقہ تھا، ان کی سرپرستی میں مدرسہ کے احاطہ میں کئی تبلیغی اجتماعات بھی منعقد ہوئے۔ مولانا عبدلحلیم بڑے متواضع، ملنسار اور مقدس بزرگ تھے، ایک مدت سے مختلف عوارض کا شکار تھے، راقم الحروف کو عرصہ سے ان سے نیاز مندی کا شرف حاصل تھا۔ متعدد بار ان کی مزاج پرسی اور عیادت کے لیے حاضر ہوا، مگر کبھی ان کی زبان سے کسی طرح کا شکوہ و شکایت نہیں سننے میں آئی۔ ہر حال میں...

Comparative Analysis and Best Practices in Islamic Education in Modern Islamic World: Lessons and Insights for Reforms in Pakistani Madrasah System

It is important to know that how the whole system of Madrasah education was evolved and what were various trends which contributed in shaping the whole system of religious Education in the Muslim world, particularly. I this article I will be presenting a comparative analysis of some important Religious Education systems prevalent in prominent Muslim Countries to demonstrate that how same institutions can develop on different lines due to application of certain approaches by state. Here I will be making a comparison of five Muslim countries namely Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia and Bangladesh. Under this comparison I would try to illustrate briefly that how different contexts actually shape and direct the overall approach, methodology and pedagogical methods of these institutions. And I will try Here I will make comparison of four major religious education institutions working in four different Muslim countries namely

Relevance of Consumption Hypotheses in Pakistan: Integrating the Micro and Macro Levels of Analysis.

This thesis provides new inside in the scanty literature related to consumption hypotheses in Pakistan. The earlier studies were based on aggregate data and none of the study estimated the consumption functions by using the household data. Therefore one the early contribution of my dissertation is; it employed cross sectional data of Pakistani household sector. Another contribution of my dissertation is that it examined three main consumption functions Absoluteincome hypothesis, lifecycle hypothesis and permanent-income hypothesis, using latest available aggregate data set. Third significant contribution of this thesis is that it examines first time the adaptive-expectation model for permanent-income hypothesis in Pakistan. The fourth contribution of the thesis is to use first time the channel of saving, growth, consumption and wealth to explore the life-cycle hypothesis in Pakistan. The time frame(s) for analyses are different, depending on the household and aggregate data. At macro level, annual aggregate data series from 1973 to 2015 has been employed. The data series has been taken from Annual Reports of State Bank of Pakistan, and various issues of Economic Survey of Pakistan. For household level analysis this thesis is based on the cross-sectional data of Pakistan household-integrated-economic-survey (HIES) 2015-16 which had been especially designed for the household-integrated-income and consumption survey (HICS). In the first stage, empirical consumption functions based on the absolute-income hypothesis have been estimated. The results show that the income has significant and positive effect on consumption. The estimated marginal propensity to consume under this hypothesis was 0.78. More specifically, the results of the study strongly support the absolute-income hypothesis for Pakistan and also support the Keynesian assertions i.e. the MPC is less than one, APC is greater than MPC and the elasticity is also less than unity. The lifecycle hypothesis is examined under two different assertions, where one is related to consumption and wealth relationship and the other is based on the saving and income growth relationship, however the results of our studies do not support the lifecycle hypothesis of Modigliani (1989) & Modigliani and Shi (2004). Similarly, two different variants of the permanent-income hypothesis have also been examined at aggregate level. The first variant of permanent-income hypothesis in case of Pakistan is based on the Flavin (1981) modified model and the second variant of permanent-income is examined under the assumptions of adaptive-expectations model. The results based on both of these studies do not provide any evidence in favor of the permanent-income hypothesis at aggregate level. The household level analysis tests the efficacy of absolute-income, lifecycle hypothesis and permanent income hypothesis in case of Pakistan. Where the results of lifecycle hypothesis are against the lifecycle assertion and support the absolute-income hypothesis. The results of permanent income hypothesis rejected the strict version of the Friedman theory; and found strong support for the loose version of permanent-income hypothesis. These results are consistent with the findings of Vakil (1973) who reported the similar findings in case of India. The results of this dissertation show that in case of Pakistan the available data do not support any consumption theory except the absolute-income hypothesis, neither at aggregate level nor at household level, which is a common phenomenon of the developing economies.Few reasons can be offered in support of theses rejections, as it may be due to the primitive society of Pakistan which has low literacy rate and unawareness of primary macroeconomic variables. Second reason is the non-availability or lack of borrowing facilitates, as the financial market is relatively narrow in Pakistan. Third reason may be the religious and cultural aspects of our society where current consumption is not sacrificed over future consumption. In the same way the rejection of the permanent-income hypothesis indicates that the Pakistani people are shortsighted and less informed and they do not plan for their entire life span. The recommendation for policy are very straight forward under the absolute-income hypothesis as if the policy maker wants to increase the welfare and standard of living of the people through increasing the consumption they just need to increase the income of the citizens, without having the difficulty that which part of the income needs to be raised.
