سابق گورنر میر اکبر علی خاں
اتر پردیش اور اڑیسہ کے سابق گورنر میر اکبر علی خاں کی وفات ملک و ملت کا اہم حادثہ ہے، وہ تحریک خلافت اور آزادی کی جدوجہد میں شریک رہے، اسی زمانے سے مولانا سید سلیمان ندوی سے ان کے تعلقات تھے، وہ علامہ شبلیؒ اور سید صاحبؒ کے قدرداں اور دارالمصنفین سے بڑا اخلاص رکھتے تھے، جب اتر پردیش کے گورنر ہوئے تو اسے میزبانی کا شرف بھی بخشا اور ایک بڑی رقم مرحمت کی جس سے ایک بڑا ہال تعمیر ہوا، مرحوم ہماری پرانی تہذیب و شرافت کا نمونہ اور سچے مسلمان تھے، صوم و صلوٰۃ کے پابند تھے، دارالمصنفین میں ان کی تشریف آوری جمعہ کے دن ہوئی تھی، یہیں کی مسجد میں جمعہ کی نماز ادا کی، جب وہ اڑیسہ کے گورنر تھے تو اس زمانے میں ایک دفعہ میں کلکتہ گیا، گورنر ہاؤس میں عصرانہ تھا، جس میں وہ بھی شریک تھے، میں ملا تو بڑی شفقت و محبت سے پیش آئے اور دارالمصنفین کا ذکر خیر فرماتے رہے، اﷲ تعالیٰ انہیں جنت الفردوس نصیب کرے اور پسماندگان کو صبر جمیل عطا کرے، آمین۔ (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی،جولائی ۱۹۹۴ء)
The very existence of theology was a prelude to the competition of philosophy and the support of religion. Other religions, for the sake of legitimacy of their religion, have been raising objections to Islam in all respects. The mixture of nations, non-Arab influences, the negligent rhetoric of scholars and shaykhs, and the erroneous beliefs and practices of the people were tarnishing the clean face of Islam. In the time of Ibn Taymiyyah, there was an emphasis on theology. Theologians specialize in their knowledge and art of rationalism and logic. Their method consisted of reasoning and inference, rational and logical proofs. In contrast to them, the Hanbalis were holding the line of reasoning from the apparent meaning of verses and hadiths and texts. In the case of debates and debates, the weight of the theologians would be heavy and the opponent would be considered ignorant. Ibn Taymiyyah paid homage to the authenticity and supremacy of the Qur'an and Sunnah in such a way that he made critical commentary and analysis on philosophy and Greek logic and reasoned weaknesses and errors. One-half or two-thirds of his total writing services on the subject of speech and logic. This shows that Ibn Taymiyyah was feeling the need of defending Islam in this regard because in his time these sciences and arts had become very popular and common practice. The far-reaching effects of his thoughts and opinions in this regard have been felt in every age. The issues in which he has differed are the result of his research, jurisprudence and ijtihad, and constant reflection. The basis and foundation of which is the Quran and Sunnah, the interaction of companions and speculation. In these Ijtihad issues of hiss, there is a collection of arguments and proofs related to the Quran and Sunnah. In this article, an introductory and analytical study of Ibn Taymiyyah's fundamental differences will be presented.
The work embodied in the present thesis consists of two parts. Part A deals with the phytochemical studies on Lantana camara Linn., while part B describes the structure-activity relationship studies on some β-carboline alkaloids. A brief review of the biosynthesis of terpenoids with particular reference to the pentacyclic triterpenoids is also provided. PART A The introduction of Part A affords a review of the earlier contributions made in the chemistry and pharmacology of the genus Lantana and a brief account of the present work. Studies undertaken on the methanolic extract of the air dried aerial parts and roots of Lantana camara Linn. led to the isolation and structure elucidation of twenty four compounds including four new (17, 18, 21 and 23) and twenty known (1-16, 19, 20, 22 and 24) natural products. Compound 11 is hitherto unreported from aerial parts of the plant whereas compounds (4, 9 and 19) are reported for the first time from the genus Lantana. The constituents obtained in the present studies are listed below: Compounds obtained from aerial parts New Compounds 1. Lantanolide (17) 2. Lancamarolide (18) 3. Lancamarinic acid (21) 4.

Lantanilic acid (12) 4. β-Sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (24) In the present investigation, the crude methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Lantana camara, its fractions and some pure compounds were evaluated for antileishmanial, nematicidal, mosquito larvicidal, anticancer and antioxidant activities. In addition, the extract and fractions were also evaluated for mosquito repellent, antibacterial, antifungal and insecticidal activities. Some pure compounds were also tested for immunomodulatory and enzyme inhibition activities. PART B The introduction of part B provides a review of the earlier contributions made in the chemistry and pharmacology of the β-carboline alkaloids – the harmine series of alkaloids. This part of the dissertation deals with the structure - activity relationship studies in the β-carboline alkaloids harmine (1), harmol (2) and harmalol (3) leading to the synthesis of thirty six derivatives (4-39) including eight new β-carbolines (20-25, 33 and 34) and five new tryptamine (35-39) derivatives along with several known compounds. Compounds 1 and 4-6 were tested for their leishmanicidal activity. Nematicidal activity of 2, 7, 8, 14-17 and 20-25 have also been determined. In addition compounds 2, 3 and 26-39 were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Some compounds were also investigated for their anticancer, chymotrypsin and urease inhibitory activities. The compounds synthesized in the present study are listed below: 1. 10-Bromo-11-methoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (4) 2. 12-Bromo-11-methoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (5) 3. 10,12-Dibromo-11-methoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (6) 4. 10-Bromo-11-hydroxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (7) 5. 12-Bromo-11-hydroxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (8) 4 6. 11-Ethoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (9) 7. 11-Butoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (10) 8. 11-Isobutoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (11) 9. 11-Pentoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (12) 10. 11-Hexoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (13) 11. 11-Heptoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (14) 12. 11-Octoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (15) 13. 11-Nonoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (16) 14. 11-Decoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (17) 15. 11-Allyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (18) 16. 11-Benzyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (19) 17. 11-2-Iodobenzyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (20) 18. 11-3-Iodobenzyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (21) 19. 11-4-Iodobenzyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (22) 20. 11-2-Nitrobenzyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (23) 21. 11-3-Nitrobenzyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (24) 22. 11-4-Nitrobenzyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (25) 23. 11-Acetoxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (26) 24. 11-Propionyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (27) 25. 11-Butyryloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (28) 26. 11-Valeryloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (29) 27. 11-Hexanoyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (30) 28. 11-Heptanoyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (31) 29. 11-Octanoyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (32) 5 30. 11-Nanoyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (33) 31. 11-Decanoyloxy-3-methyl-b-carboline (34) 32. 2-Acetyl-3-(2-nonanoylamidoethyl)-7-nonanoyloxyindole (35) 33. 2-Acetyl-3-(2-decanoylamidoethyl)-7-decanoyloxyindole (36) 34. 2-Acetyl-3-(2-trichloroacetamidoethyl)-7-trichloroacetoxyindole (37) 35. 2-Acetyl-3-[2-(2-trifloromethylbenzoyl)-amidoethyl]-7-(2- trifloromethyl benzoyloxy)-indole (38) 36. 2-Acetyl-3-[2-(3-trifloromethylbenzoyl)-amidoethyl)-7-(3- trifloromethyl benzoyloxy)-indole (39) Nematicidal activity was determined by Prof. Dr. Shaheena Fayyaz (Director) of the Institute of Nematological Research Center and Prof. Dr. Aly Khan (Director) of the Crop Disease Research Institute, Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, University of Karachi. Antimicrobial, antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities were tested by Prof. Dr. Aqeel Ahmed, Department of Microbiology, University of Karachi. Mosquito larvicidal and repellent activities were evaluated by Dr. M. Tariq Rajput, MAHQ Biological Research Centre, University of Karachi. Antileishmanial, anticancer, insecticidal and enzyme inhibition activities were determined by the bioassay screening section staff of this institute under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Muhammad Iqbal Choudhary. Extensive spectroscopic techniques such as UV, IR, EI-MS, HREI-MS, 1H- and 13C- NMR (Broad Band decoupled and DEPT), 2D NMR (1H-, 1H- COSY, NOESY, TOCSY, J-resolved, HMQC and HMBC) and chemical reactions were employed to elucidate the structures of the new compounds. The work embodied in the present dissertation has resulted in five research publications as listed in the list of publications.
