قیام پاکستان اور قرآن
مالک ارض و سماء کا ہم پر بے پایاں احسانِ عظیم ہے جس نے ہمیں وطن عزیز جیسی عظیم نعمت سے سرفراز فرمایا اور آزادی جیسی بے بہا دولت مرحمت فرمائی۔ انسانی تاریخ کے کسی دور کا اگر بنظر ِغائر مطالعہ کیا جائے خواہ یہ دور غاروں کا دور ہو، یا جھو نپڑیوں کا، محلات کا ہو یا مکانوں کا ،کاغذ کا دور ہو یا دھاتوں کا، پتھروں کا دور ہو یا سنگلاخ چٹانوں کو کاٹ کر بنائے گئے گھروں کا تو یہ بات عیاں ہوتی ہے کہ ہر دور میں انسانی تہذیب و تمدن کے انداز بدلے ہیں کلچر اور ثقافت کے نئے نئے نقشوں نے جنم لیا ہے، افکار وحوادث کے رنگہائے جدید قائم ہوئے ہیں ، خیالات نے انقلاب کا جامہ زیب تن کیا ہے۔ اس کے باوجود تاریخ انسانی کے ہر دور میں ایک قدر مشترک ہرقوم وملت میں بدرجہ اتم موجودرہی ہے۔ اور وہ یہ کہ تضادات و تباین کے باوجود اور اختلاف و تنوع کے باوصف انسانی شعور نے جب سے آنکھ کھولی ہے اس نے ہمیشہ اور ہر حال میں اور ہمہ وقت آزادی کی حمد و ستائش کی ہے اور اپنی آزادی کو قائم رکھنے کی جہد مسلسل اور سعی کامل کی ہے۔ اس جہد مسلسل اور مساعی جمیلہ کانام تاریخ انسانی ہے۔
ہندوستان میں جب تحریک آزادی نے جنم لیا اور قیام پاکستان کے لیے جدوجہد کا آغاز ہوا تو علامہ اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے مسلمانوں کی راہنمائی قرآن کی روشنی میں کی۔ آپ نے مغرب کے جمہوری نظام کو اسلام کے خلاف سازش قرار دیا۔ انہوں نے فرمایا کہ مغرب کا جمہوری نظام استبدادملوکیت کی ایک نقاب پوش شکل ہے۔ اس میں نوع انسانی آزادی سے ہمکنار نہیں ہوسکتی۔ دوسرے یہ کہ مغربی انداز فکر اور مغربی نظام جمہوریت اسلام کی ضد...
Although the contribution of Ahmad Shoq┘ to Arabic literature, particularly to its poetry which is praised everywhere, which made him an authority and gained him the honor, yet there is a great contradiction between his fames and opposition; the fames accept him as lord of the poets while the opposition deny this status and title him as the poet of the lords. These contradictions made an unsatisfactory condition amongst the scholars about his personality and the contributions he added. The question is that; how much reality has the opinion of the denier? This article provides the evidences taken from his poetry and proves the realities about the blames raised by the opposition, and then solves the matter. It also makes a reader convinced to accept it, but not to forget the contribution made by this great poet of a great language with a huge literature.
Three new series of ligands (derived from amino acids) have been synthesized from view point of their structural and biological studies. The first series belongs to amide derivatives of amino acids (A1-A9), second belongs to urea derivatives of amino acids (A10-A18) and the third one belongs to thiourea derivatives of amino acids (A19-A30). Tributyltin(IV) and bismuth(III) derivatives of these ligands have also been prepared in good yields by refluxing the respective ligand with bismuth(III) chloride or tributyltin(IV) chloride in presence of potassium hydroxide in appropriate stoichiometric ratios in dry methanol as solvent. The structure of the synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ICP-OES, FT-IR, multinuclear (1H, 13C, 119Sn) NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Based on these results, the synthesis of ligands have been confirmed and the data also suggested that these ligands appeared to coordinate the bismuth and tin centers through the oxygen of carboxylate moiety. The tributyltin(IV) derivatives mostly demonstrate tetrahedral geometry both in solid and solution state. Whereas octahedral geometry was proposed for bismuth(III) complexes both in solid and solution state based on single crystal X-ray analysis, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy respectively. Finally the biological activity tests such as anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant, enzyme inhibition and lethality bioassays for majority of the synthesized ligands were carried out and found some encouraging results. All of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their potential as anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents against different strains of bacteria and fungi. Both of the tributyltin(IV) and bismuth(III) complexes have shown good to significant anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and some of them were found to be more potent than standard drugs available in markeet. It was observed that tributyltin(IV) complexes have shown slightly better activities than bismuth(III) complexes. These results propose that these compounds may be utilized as anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents in future in the wake of following the medication improvement methodologies. Anti-oxidant potential of these newly synthesized compounds was also evaluated and some of them exhibited significant anti-oxidant activity. viii These compounds were also examined for their α-glucosidase inhibition, urease inhibition and lipoxygenase inhibition activity and some of the compounds showed excellent results in inhibiting these enzymes, even more than the standard drugs. Some compounds from all the series were tested for anti-tubercular activity and show poor activity. They were also assayed for their brine shrimp lethality test and data suggests that the compounds show low toxicity. However the data pertaining to bioassay tests for all the synthesized compounds exhibiting some encouraging results and may be trialed further in drug discovering processes to find out the lead compounds by modifying/altering their structural motifs.
