An Implicatural Study of Iago's Speeches in Othello This study presents an analysis of Iago's speeches in the play Othello by Shakespeare. For this purpose the researcher has applied Paul Grice's Theory of Implicature. The study focuses on Iago's speeches as an example of flouting of the maxims of the Cooperative Principle. A total of fifty-two speeches have been selected and analysed in the light of Grice's theory. The speeches have been studied carefully and categorized according to the four maxims (Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner) of the Cooperative Principle. Brief analyses accompany individual speeches. The hypothesis that Iago willfully flouts Grice's maxims in order to achieve his nefarious purposes is proved with the help of this analysis. The study leads to the conclusion that a study of other literary texts, on the same pattern, may enhance comprehension and appreciation of literary texts in general. The application of Grice's theory to Shakespeare's play will add new dimension to Shakespearean criticism and be of great interest for students and teachers of literature.

محنت کی عظمت

محنت میں عظمت
محنت میں عظمت سے مراد یہ ہے کہ کام کر کے ،دست و باز وکو با مقصد متحرک کر کے، قلوب و اذہان کو طمانیت بخشتے ہوئے حصولِ عظمت کی خاطر جہد مسلسل کرنا، گورا ہو، کالا ہو، پست ہو، طویل القامت ہو، دُبلا پتلا ہو یا لحیم شحیم ہو، یہودی ہو، نصرانی ہو یا ٓتش پرست، الغرض جس مسلک یامشرب سے منسلک ہواس بات کا وہ ضرور معترف ہے کہ اگر کوئی عظمت، آن اور تفوق کے سہرے کو اپنے سر پر سجانا چاہتا ہے تو وہ صرف اور صرف محنت سے ہی ایسا کر سکتا ہے۔
فرمانِ باری تعالیٰ ہے ’’انسان کے لیے وہی کچھ ہے جس کے لئے وہ کوشش اور محنت کرتا ہے‘‘بنی نوع انسان کی تاریخ کے اوراق کا اگر مطالعہ اورمشاہدہ کریں تو یہ بات اظہر من الشمس ہے کہ جن سلف صالحین اور نابغۂ روز گار ہستیوں نے نام پیدا کیا وہ شب و روز محنت و مشقت کی چکی میں پستی رہیں۔ اقبال نام کے ہزاروں ہوں گے لیکن علامہ اقبال رحمۃاللہ علیہ ایک ہی ہے۔ اسی طرح غزالی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ ، رازی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نفیسی رحمۃاللہ علیہ جیسے زعماء جو آسمان علم و دانش پر آفتاب و ماہتاب بن کر چمکے یہ سب ان کی محنت لگن ، کاوش اور انتھک جد و جہد کا نتیجہ تھا۔ محنت شاقہ اور جذبہ صادق ہوتو کہساروں سے بھی جوئے شیر نکالی جاسکتی ہے۔
نامی کوئی بغیر مشقت نہیں ہوا
سو بار جب عقیق کٹا تب نگیں ہوا
حضور اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی حدیث پاک ہے کہ’’ حلال روزی کمانے والا ( محنت کر نیوالا ) اللہ تعالیٰ کا دوست ہوتا ہے۔‘‘ نماز پنجگانہ ایک اہم عبادت ہے، ز کوٰ ۃ ارکان اسلام سے ایک اہم رکن ہے، حج ایک اہم عبادت...

جامعات كے طلبہ کے عقائد و نظریات کی اصلاح کیلئے مکی دور کے اسلوب دعوت کو اپنانے کی ضرورت و اہمیت: منہج اور متوقع نتائج

There is gape in students of Islamic Institutes and Institutes of higher education in the world. The students of Islamic Universities well aware about Islam and its teachings. They have strong beliefs in it. While the students of higher educational institutes other than Islamic have no idea and have no enough knowledge about Islam and its beliefs. There is dire need for reconciliation in this regard. This research paper tries to explore Importance and need to adopt the way of Da’wa of the Holy Prophet in Makki era in order to improve the beliefs of University students. Way and expectative results.

Fabrication of Graphene Metal Nano Composite and its Applications

Graphene reinforced metallic nano composites are synthesized with wet chemical synthesis. The efficiency of these synthesized nano composites as photo catalyst in the catalytic degradation of reactive red dye as well as fuel additives is observed. Graphite is used as precursor for the synthesis of graphene at laboratory scale. The synthesized graphene sheets are further used during the synthesis of graphene composites incorporated with metallic nano particles. During the synthesis of graphene based metallic composite the graphene oxide is converted to reduced graphene oxide. The nano composites of rGO-Mn2O, rGO-ZrO2, rGOBiO2 and rGO-ZnAl2O are synthesized using solvothermal and co-precipitation methods of wet chemical approach. Graphene oxide (GO) is converted to GO suspension using ultrasonic treatment for its exfoliation before to use in the synthesis procedure of composites. SEM and TEM techniques are used for the morphological characterization of synthesized nano composites. Results obtained through XRD technique are evaluated using Match and VESTA software for structure and sample purity investigation. VESTA is used to draw structures of the synthesized products. The synthesized nano composites are subjected as catalyst in photocatalytic removal of the given dye. UV-Visible spectrophotometer is used to monitor the decreases in absorbance at lambda max 520 nm. Effect of different parameters including catalyst concentration, hydrogen peroxide concentration as well as temperature on the efficiency of these synthesized nano composites is observed. The nano composite of rGO-Mn2O showed the best catalytic behavior towards dye degradation. Effect of these nano composites on physical properties (kinematic viscosity, specific gravity, cloud and pour points) and combustion properties of fuel are analyzed using diesel as fuel. Effect of concentration of these nano composites on the properties of fuel is also studied. Fuel blended with nano composite particles showed better
