ڈاکٹر معظم حسین
(پروفیسر مختار الدین احمد)
عربی و اسلامیات کے ایک جلیل القدر عالم، ڈھاکا یونیورسٹی کے شعبۂ عربی کے سابق صدر اور وہاں کے سابق وائس چانسلر کی وفات کی خبر بنگلہ دیش سے مجھے بہت تاخیر سے ملی، ہندوستان کے اخبارات و رسائل میں تو اس سانحۂ علمیہ کا ذکر بھی نہیں آیا۔
پروفیسر ڈاکٹر سید معظم حسین، متحدہ ہندوستان میں عربی ادب اور علوم اسلامی کے اہم علماء میں تھے، وہ مشہور مستشرق پروفیسر مارگولیوتھ (متوفی۱۹۴۰ء) اور آکسفورڈ یونیورسٹی کے شعبۂ عربی کے صدر کے نامور تلامذہ میں تھے، وہ ڈھاکہ یونیورسٹی سے امتیاز کے ساتھ عربی میں ایم اے کرنے کے بعد بنگال کی حکومت سے وظیفہ پاکر عربی زبان و ادب کے تنقیدی مطالعے کے لیے انگلستان گئے اور آکسفورڈ یونیورسٹی میں داخل ہوکر کئی سال تک پروفیسر مارگولیوتھ کی نگرانی میں علمی تحقیقات میں مصروف رہے۔
مارگولیوتھ، اسلام کے خلاف جس قسم کے تعصبات کے شکار تھے ان سے دنیائے اسلام اچھی طرح واقف ہے، لیکن اس میں شبہ نہیں کہ عربی ادب کی خدمات میں وہ اپنے معاصرین میں بہت ممتاز رہے ہیں۔ عربی مخطوطات کی ترتیب و تہذیب سے ان کی گہری دلچسپی تھی۔ ہمیں ان کا احسان بھولنا نہیں چاہیے کہ تراث اسلامی کی تلاش بازیافت اور ان کی تصیح و اشاعت کے کارناموں میں انھوں نے مکمل حصہ لیا۔ قدیم مسلم مصنفین کی متعدد تصانیف انھوں نے خود مرتب کر کے یا اپنے احباب اور تلامذہ سے مدون کراکے انہیں ضایع ہونے سے بچالیا۔ یاقوت الحموی کی معجم الادباء اور متعدد علمائے عرب کی تصانیف نے ان کی بدولت نئی زندگی پائی، ان کے تلامذہ میں ہندوستانی طلباء میں افضل العلماء ڈاکٹر عبدالحق (مدراس) ڈاکٹر عابد احمد علی (علی گڑھ) ڈاکٹر محمد عبدالحق (حیدرآباد) کے نام یاد آتے ہیں۔ اول الذکر سے انھوں نے دیوان...
Hoarding is considered (Ihtikar) very abhorring and objectionable. It is the practice of keeping something in store and not bringing the same to the market so that prices may rise owing to this artificial dearth of supply in the market. Each religion of the world has agriculture rules. In these, rules about Hoarding play an important role. In non Semitic religions Hinduism is the largest religion of the world. Similarly in Semitic religions Islam is the second and Judaism is considered in third stage. All these three religions and there followers have good relation with agriculture. But among this, Islamic rules considers one of the best rules in the world. Because Hinduism agriculture rules affected by cast system and the other side Judaism rules is affected by customs and traditions. But still there are some points on which Hinduism, Judaism and Islam are completely supporting each others. Hoarding rules is one of them. This paper is consisting on hoarding rules in Hinduism, Judaism and Islam.
A series of trials, including hydroponics and soil experiments, were conducted to document the phenotypic variation among rice genotypes and the response of selected genotypes to inorganic and/ or organic sources of K under standard rice management (SRM) and system of rice intensification (SRI). In a solution culture study, changes in growth attributes under both deficient and adequate K levels indicated differential adaptation of 26 rice genotypes. Three of 26 genotypes, namely, IR-6, Super basmati and 99509, were selected for subsequent studies on the basis of their differential responses for K use efficiency (KUE), shoot biomass, and K uptake at deficient and adequate K levels. The categorization of rice genotypes was made using the index scoring technique. Accordingly, 99509 was categorized as highly efficient-medium responsive, Super basmati as medium efficient-medium responsive, while IR-6 as low efficient-low responsive. Correlation among various growth parameters was calculated, and a strong correlation was found among shoot biomass, KUE, and total K uptake. The growth and yield responses of these selected genotypes were subsequently studied with exogenously applied K (K 2 SO 4 ) in pot trials. On overall basis, the KUE determined the responses of various growth and yield parameters against varying levels of K application. Again, the order of genotypes with respect to KUE was found to be the same as that observed in the hydroponic study, i.e., 99509 was found to be highly efficient, Super basmati was medium efficient, and IR-6 was non-efficient in term of growth and yield attribute formation. A dose of 60 kg K ha -1 was found optimum for increasing most of the growth and yield attributes of the three rice genotypes, which was very close to that calculated amounts obtained using the quadratic model. Keeping in view the cumulative effects, a dose of 60 kg K ha -1 was selected for subsequent field trials. Thereafter, the genotypes were tested under the conventional SRM (continuously flooded) and SRI (intermittently flooded) systems. The growth, yield and quality of the three genotypes were studied under single and integrated use of inorganic and organic K fertilizer. Most of the growth and yield attributes gave maximum response with integrated application of 30 kg K ha -1 as K 2 SO 4 + 30 kg K ha -1 as K-enriched compost under SRM, while 15 kg K ha -1 as K 2 SO 4 + 15 kg K ha -1 as K-enriched compost proved best under SRI. Super basmati gave the maximum grain yield under SRM, while under SRI 99509 was best, both with integrated application of 15 kg K ha -1 as K 2 SO 4 + 15 kg K ha -1 as K-enriched compost. However, maximum straw yield was produced by 99509 with integrated application 1of 15 kg K ha -1 as K 2 SO 4 + 15 kg K ha -1 as K-enriched compost under SRM, while integrated application of 30 kg K ha -1 as K 2 SO 4 + 30 kg K ha -1 as K-enriched compost resulted in maximum straw yield in Super basmati under SRI. IR-6 remained relatively poor in performance in most of the growth and yield parameters. It was note worthy that the genotype 99509, which was rated highly efficient in K use in hydroponic trial changed its response as medium efficient in K use in field trials (both in SRI and SRM), while exactly reverse trend with respect to KUE was observed in case of Super basmati. IR-6 remained relatively poor in growth, yield and KUE under both the systems of management. Total K uptake and KUE of the genotypes varied with K doses and sources under SRM and SRI, affecting the growth and yield parameters of the three rice genotypes tested. Most of the quality parameters under SRI and SRM gave almost similar values, implying that SRI had no negative effect on yield and quality of both coarse and fine varieties of rice. Moreover, SRI was seen to be a viable approach to save water without compromising the yield and quality of the produce, thus it may be adopted as a low-input technology system.
