طالب حسین کوثریؔ کی نعت گوئی
نعت عربی زبان کا لفظ ہے جس کے معنی تعریف یا وصف بیان کرنا کے ہیں اگرچہ عربی زبان میں اس مقصد کیلئے مدح کا لفظ استعمال کیا جاتا ہے۔مگر ادبی اصطلاح میں لفظ نعت نبی کریمﷺ کی مدح و تعریف کیلئے استعمال کیا جاتا ہے۔فارسی لغات میں نعت سے مراد نبی کریمﷺ کے اوصاف اور ثناء بیان کرنا کے ہیں۔اردو زبان کی ’’نور اللغات‘‘ میں لکھا ہے۔کہ یہ لفظ معنی مطلق وصف ہے۔اور اس کا استعمال نبی پاکﷺکی تعریف و ثناء کے بیان کے لیے وقف ہے۔اس لیے نعت کا لفظ عربی،فارسی،اردو،پنجابی اور دیگر زبانوں میں ایسے ہی معنوں میں استعمال ہوتا ہے اور وہ سارے اشعار اور نظمیں نعت کے گھیرے میں آ جاتی ہیں جن میں آپﷺ کے محاسن بیان ہوئے ہوں۔اس طرح نعت کا گھیرا وسیع سے وسیع تر ہوتا جاتا ہے۔چونکہ نعت کا محور آپﷺ کی ذات پاک ہے۔اس لیے آپﷺ کی ذات سے صفات تک،افکار سے اعمال تک غرض ذات مقدس کا کوئی ایسا پہلو نہیں جو لغت کا موضوع نہ بنا ہو۔اخلاق ،سیرت،معجزات، غزوات، خطبات، عبادات، معاملات، عادات ،تعلیمات سب کچھ نعت کے گھیرے میں آ گئے ہیں۔
نعت کا وجود عربی ادب میں آپﷺ کی مبارک زندگی سے ہی نظر آتا ہے۔بہت سارے صحابہ کرام نے آپﷺکی پاک زندگی کے ایک ایک پل کو شعر وادب میں محفوظ کیا ہے۔یہی صحابہ کرام کا ورثہ تھا اور یہی ہمارا قیمتی اثاثہ ہے۔یوں تو اردو ادب میں لا تعداد شعراء کرام نے نبی پاکﷺ سے عقیدت و محبت کے اظہار کیلئے نعت گوئی کی،مگر بہت کم شعراء کرام ایسے ہیں جن کی ادب میں پہچان نعت گوئی بنی ہو۔دور حاضر کے ممتاز نعت گو شعراء کرام میں ایک نام جناب طالب حسین کوثریؔ کا بھی ہے۔جنہوں نے اپنی نعت...
Before Islam, women were victims of slavery, humiliation, oppression, and exploitation. Islam came and liberated women from slavery, humiliation, oppression, and exploitation. Islam abolished all the evil customs which were against the human dignity of women and gave them the rights which they deserved. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) endowed women with their rightful status and human dignity on both social and domestic levels. In the light of Islamic teachings, men and women have equal status as human beings. In that sense, no one is superior to another. Just as Islam calls men honorable and respectable, so too in the eyes of Islam women are honorable and have an important role to play in society. The biography of the Holy Prophet is a beacon for us. He proved by his practical life that a woman is pitiable and respectable in respect of mother, daughter, sister, wife, and other relationships. In Arab society, he proved by raising her four daughters that a woman is also a human being, therefore, she should also be given rights. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has left out such enlightening teachings on women's social rights that by following them, women can be granted their social rights. But even today, women are being deprived of many of their social rights. There is a need to bring the social issues of women before the society in the light of Sīrat-un-Nabī. Also mention the restrictions facing women in the present. The question arises, what is the social status of women in the light of Sīrat-un-Nabī? And what are the challenges facing women today? This article is written to answer these questions. In pre-Islamic society, women were not given any importance or status in any relationship. Socially, women's rights were completely taken away and some Arab families did not even have the right to live.
The present study aimed at determining the effect of exogenous application of plant growth regulators (BRs, IAA and GA3) on growth and biochemical activities (total soluble proteins, supeoxide dismutase and peroxidase) of potato (cvs. Cardinal and Desiree) under salinity stress. The concentrations of NaCl (40, 60 or 80 mM) were selected based on pilot experimentation. The method of exogenous application (pretreatment or in medium) and suitable concentrations of above-mentioned phytohormones effective in stimulating plant growth were determined after pilot experiments. For this, the nodal explants from both the cultivars were pretreated for 24 h with different concentrations of EBR (2 or 3 µM) and then inoculated in MS basal medium. On the other hand, EBR (2 or 3 µM) was directly added to the MS medium. After 30 d, data were collected for both the morphological as well as biochemical parameters. It was observed that lower concentration of EBR was more effective in enhancing morphological growth of both the cultivars. Likewise, the concentrations of IAA (7, 14 or 21 µM) and GA3 (7, 14 or 21 µM) were also used with both methods of treatment in cvs. Cardinal and Desiree. The results indicated that lower concentrations of IAA and higher concentrations of GA3 influence growth more effectively. To study the effect of IAA (7 or 14 µM) and GA3 (14 or 21 µM) under salt stress, both ways of pretreatment (PT and IM) were carried out and the nodal explants were grown in MS medium supplemented with the selected NaCl concentrations. The results indicated deleterious effects of NaCl on the morphological growth parameters (root number/length, shoot number/length, number of nodes/leaves, fresh weight) of the two tested cultivars, however, exogenous application of both IAA and GA3 enhanced the growth of plants under stress. The total soluble proteins and activities of SOD and POD were also increased when either NaCl or IAA/GA3 were applied alone or in combination. It was also observed that IAA had a positive effect on roots whereas shoot growth was influenced more on exposure to GA3. The effect of both IAA and GA3 supplementation was also studied on callus cultures of both the cultivars growing under salt stress. The results indicated a reduction in fresh weights and morphological growth of calluses under salt stress which, thereby, was improved when either IAA (7 or 14 µM) or GA3 (14 or 21 µM) was added in the callus induction medium. Pot experiments were also performed to investigate the effect of IAA and GA3 on growth of potato tubers under salinity. For this, the tubers were pretreated with either IAA or GA3 for 2 h and then grown in soil, however, after 30 d of germination, the non treated tubers were foliarly sprayed with either IAA or GA3. NaCl stress impeded the growth of both the tested cultivars which was improved through exogenous application of both the growth regulators. Total proteins and activities of SOD and POD were also increased on application of either NaCl or IAA/GA3. In this study, pretreated potato tubers were able to tolerate stress more effectively than foliarly sprayed plants. Another study was carried out to determine the role of BRs (SSBL and EBR) under salinity stress. NaCl stress reduced the growth of both the cultivars which thereby improved when SSBL (1 or 2 µM) was added directly into the medium. Mixed results were observed for root number/length, however, other growth parameters i.e. shoot length/number, number of nodes/leaves and fresh weights were increased when SSBL was added under salt stress. Total soluble proteins and activities of SOD and POD were also enhanced with either NaCl or SSBL alone or in combination describing their positive role in tolerance of salt stress through scavenging of ROS. EBR with both methods of exogenous application (PT and IM) also affected growth of both the cultivars positively with or without NaCl stress.
