This article aims to highlight an important aspect of Islamic Law, which relates to social life of a Muslim. Islamic law promotes social harmony and tolerance, but it makes it balance in the light of basic principles and objectives of Shar'īah. Likewise, Islamic law determines social relation between Muslims with each other as well as the relation of Muslims with Non-Muslim citizens in the Islamic state. Furthermore, it is very significant to know that a Muslim can participate in the traditional and religious functions of Non-Muslim or not? Islamic law has made some parameters in this regard, in this research paper we have focused on this specific issue of Islamic law and tried to explain the legal status of this issue in the light of Quran, Prophetic traditions, and opinions of Muslim Scholars. The research method applied in this paper is descriptive and critical study of different school of thoughts is also provided. Muslims have a long history of mutual contacts with the non-Muslims guided by the Shar’īah principles as they have come together in every age in different political and geographical contexts. In the early days of Islam, Muslims were in the minority. At that time, Muslims participated in the social life of their non-Muslims neighbors. Islam respects other religions. Provides all kinds of facilities to non-Muslims. And allows Muslims to participate in their legitimate programs.۔
Wheat crop is a basic staple food in many of countries all over the world. To overcome the need and supply gap of food it is necessary to improve wheat yield against different stresses such as heat stress. This study was performed to enhance the knowledge about genetics of heat tolerance in wheat using different agro-morphological parameters for screening of wheat. Line × tester mating design was used to access the genetic variability of wheat for combining ability against normal and heat stressed conditions. One hundred twenty genotypes were sown in research area of Wheat Research Institute (WRI) of Auyb Agriculture Research Institute (AARI) Faisalabad during growing season of 2014-15 in field and tunnel, which was covered during grain filling stage to provide high temperature stress. Ten lines and five testers were selected after proper screening by using different screening parameters such as cell membrane thermostability, normalized difference at vegetative stage, canopy temperature at vegetative stage and relative water content. The selected lines and testers were crossed in Line × Tester mating fashion. In next growing season (2015-16), parents along with their F1 hybrids were sown in triplicated randomized complete block design (RCBD) under normal and tunnel conditions. Data were recorded for both normal and heat stressed conditions for following traits i.e. cell membrane thermostability, normalized difference at vegetative stage, normalized difference at grain filling stage, canopy temperature at vegetative stage, canopy temperature at grain filling stage, relative water content, plant height, flag leaf area, peduncle length, spike length, number of fertile tillers per plant, days to heading, days to maturity, spikelets per spike, grains per spike, thousand grain weight, grain yield per plant and other quality traits like protein , moisture contents, starch, ash, gluten and test weight. Combining ability as used to investigate genotypes with best GCA and SCA. These parameters can help breeders in wheat crop improvement. All traits in this study showed dominance type of gene action under both normal and heat stressed environments. Results showed that the parents V-12103, Miraj-08, Faislabad-08, V-12082, Millat-11 and Chenab-2000 were good general combiner for grain yield and quality traits under both normal and heat stressed conditions. Among different crosses, V-13013 × ND643, SW89.52277 × Chenab-2000 and V-13013 × V-12082 showed better performance for grain yield and quality related traits that can be used in further breeding program for improvement of grain yield and quality parameters of wheat.
