مولانا محمد عثمان فارقلیط
سخت افسوس ہے کہ مولانا محمد عثمان فارقلیط بھی ہم سے جدا ہوگئے۔ تقریباً اسّی برس کی عمر پائی۔مرحوم گوناگوں خوبیوں اورکمالات کے بزرگ تھے،علوم دینیہ و عربیہ کی باقاعدہ تکمیل مختلف مدارس میں اور بعض اربابِ کمال کی صحبت میں رہ کر شخصی طور پرکی تھی۔شروع میں طبیعت مناظرہ کی طرف مائل تھی،اس سلسلہ میں انھوں نے عیسائیت اوراُس کے لٹریچر کامطالعہ بڑی وقّتِ نظر اوروسعت سے کیا تھا۔ اسی شوق میں انھوں نے انگریزی پڑھی اوراُس میں بڑی اچھی استعداد پیدا کرلی، ساتھ ہی سنسکرت اور عبرانی زبان سے بھی واقفیت پیداکی،لیکن ان کی تقدیر میں اُردو زبان کاعظیم صحافی ہونا لکھا تھا،اس لیے وہ جلدہی جرنلزم کی طرف مائل ہوگئے۔ پہلے اِدھر اُدھر دہلی اور پنجاب میں مختلف اخبارات کی ادارت کرتے رہے ،اس کے بعد اخبار الجمعیۃ سے وابستہ ہوئے تو ایک مختصر وقفہ کومستثنیٰ کرکے اُس کے ہو کررہ گئے اورساری زندگی اُس کے لیے وقف کردی۔
مرحوم کا سیاسی اورمذہبی مطالعہ بہت وسیع تھا۔طبعاً نہایت ذہین اورطباع تھے۔ قلم بے حد شگفتہ تھا، جوکچھ لکھتے تھے بہت صاف، واضح، مدلل، پر مغز اور ساتھ ہی پرجوش اور ولولہ انگیز ہوتاتھا اس لیے ان کے افتتا حیے بڑے شوق وذوق سے پڑھے جاتے اورعوام وخواص سے خراجِ تحسین وصول کرتے تھے۔لیکن انگریزوں کے زمانہ کی بات دوسری تھی۔ ایک غیر ملکی حکومت سے واسطہ تھا اور ہندوستان اُس سے جنگِ آزادی لڑرہاتھا ۔قلم نے تلوار کی جگہ لے لی تھی، اس لیے جتنا سخت لکھتے کارِ ثواب تھا اوراُس کی پاداش میں جیل جانایا اخبار کی ضمانت کا ضبط ہوجانا استخلاص ِ وطن کی شریعت کاحجِ آزادی جواپنے جلومیں تقسیم اوراُس کی تباہ کاریاں لے کرآئی، اُس کے بعدصورتِ حال بالکل مختلف ہوگئی،اب مولانا محمد عثمان فارقلیط کے خامۂ شعلہ بار و آتش فگن کواس دوگونہ رنج...

افغانستان کی اسلامی تاریخ کے پیش رو صحابہ کرام: عہد خلافت عمر بن الخطاب رضی اللہ عنہ

The era of caliphate was the golden era of Islam. In this era the boundaries of Islamic state spread far and wide. From the caliphate of Abubakkar saddique (RA) Islamic conquest had started. At that time the Muslim armies reached Syria and Byzentine. But the first arrival of sahaba in Afghanistan was in the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (RA). The torchbearer of Islam came here for the preaching of Islam and to lead these people and turn their lives according to Quran and Sunnah. Before the advent of  Islam Afghanistan was the centre of Buddhist and other several faiths. Through the efforts of these companions of Muhammad (S.A.W) Islam got spread through the mountains and deserts of Afghanistan and all the Pathan tribes enter in the holy deen. In the following lines we will discuss thier efforts and journeys towards Afghanistan.

Malignant Lymphoma Subtypes in a Private Hospital in Nairobi: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction: Lymphoma diagnosis integrates clinical, morphological, immunophenotypical and molecular genetic features as evident from the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of lymphoid malignancies.(1, 2) Although it is standard practice for histopathology laboratories in developed countries to confirm and further sub classify lymphomas using immunohistochemistry and other molecular techniques, the same is not true for developing countries like Kenya. The reasons that prevent the performance of these tests are the prohibitive costs and inadequate trained personnel. Objectives: The aims of this study were to retrospectively classify lymphomas diagnosed at The Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUHN) Laboratory based on the WHO classification system and to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients. Methods: Tissue blocks of 103 consecutive, lymphoma specimens received between 1st January 2007 and 31st December 2008 were retrieved from the archives at the Department of Pathology. Haematoxylin and Eosin slides were prepared and reviewed for purposes of confirmation and morphologic classification. Immunohistochemical expression for various lymphoma markers were assessed and scored. Findings were correlated with relevant demographic, pathologic and clinical data. Data Management and Analysis: Raw data was entered into Microsoft excel data sheets and subsequently analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.0 database. Results: A total of 103 cases were analyzed. 79 cases representing 76.7% of the studied population were classified as Non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), 22 cases representing 21.4% of the study population were diagnosed as Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), while 2 cases representing 1.9% of the study population were diagnosed as Non hematological malignancies. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represented 63% of all NHL cases. The second most common subtype was Burkitt lymphoma (BL) with 8 cases representing 10.1% of all NHL cases, followed by chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) with 6 cases each. There were 3 cases of Mucosal associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, 3 cases of Plasmacytoma and 1 case of Follicular lymphoma (FL). Of the 22 cases of HL, 19 cases (86.4%) were of the classical subtype while 3 (13.6%) were Hodgkin Lymphoma - Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant (HLNLP) subtype. All the 19 cases of classical subtype (100%) showed positivity for LMP1 Protein indicating Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infection, whereas all the 3 cases of HLNLP were negative for LMP1. One case which did not take up immunohistochemical stain due to poor tissue fixation was labeled as “favor NHL” by a consensus panel. This case
