جسٹس سید کرامت حسین کی ناگہانی موت گو عام دنیائے علم کے لئے کچھ کم باعث حسرت نہیں ہے لیکن ہمارے لئے اس سے زیادہ غم افروز ہے۔ مرحوم ہماری مجلس کے نائب صدر تھے اور ہمیشہ اپنے قیمتی مشوروں سے ہماری اعانت کرتے تھے۔ وہ خود بھی علمی مشاغل میں مصرف رہتے تھے، آخر عمر میں ’’المرآۃ‘‘ نام ایک ضخیم کتاب عورتوں کے حقوق و خصائص پر تصنیف فرما رہے تھے۔ ان کی سادگی اخلاص کار، ایثار اور خالص علمی خدمات ہمیشہ یادگار رہیں گی۔وہ لکھنؤ کے خاندان اجتہاد سے تھے، انہوں نے عربی کی تکمیل کے بعد انگریزی کی طرف توجہ کی اور لندن جاکر بیرسٹر ہوئے، انکو فلسفہ سے خاص ذوق تھا، جدید فلسفہ کے دقائق کو اردو میں لکھنے کی ابتداء انہیں سے ہوئی، سالمات کی اصطلاح انہیں کی بنائی ہوئی ہے، اردو میں افراد کاسیہ کے نام سے ان کا بڑا اچھا رسالہ ہے، وہ ہندوستان واپس آکر علی گڑھ کالج میں پہلے قانون کے پروفیسر ہوئے۔ اسی زمانہ میں مولانا شبلی سے ان کی ملاقات اور راہ و رسم ہوئی۔ عربی فلسفہ یعنی عربی فیلالوجی سے ان کو بڑی مناسبت تھی۔ المقدسہ کے نام سے عربی میں ان کا ایک رسالہ نہایت مفید ہے۔ آخر میں الہ آباد ہائیکورٹ میں جج ہوگئے تھے۔ اس سے الگ ہونے کے بعد لکھنؤ میں قیام کیا تھا۔ مسلم گرلز اسکول انہیں کے وقف سے وجود میں آیا۔
اس زمانہ میں دارالمصنفین نیا نیا قائم ہوا تھا ہمارے ارکان خاص میں سے مولوی عبدالماجد صاحب دریابادی اور مولوی عبدالباری صاحب ندوی، جدید فلسفہ کے عشاق میں تھے اور اس وقت ان کے نزدیک سب سے بڑا کام یہ تھا کہ اردو زبان میں جدید فلسفہ کی اہم کتابوں کو منتقل کیا جائے، اس بناء پر جسٹس سید کرامت حسین صاحب سے اس...
Hafiz Ibn-e-Kaseer’s ‘Al-Bidaya Wan-Nehaya’ maintains a remarkable position in the field of historiography. In this valuable book, he has described the occurrences of the important nations of the past and the epochs of the previous Prophets up to his own era. Although ‘Al-Bidaya Wan-Nehaya’ is basically a book of ‘History’, yet the worthy author has referred to numerous salient events pertaining to the life and mission of the holy Prophet (SAW). A considerable portion of the book, about two thousand pages, relates to the biograph of the Holy Prophet (SAW). Hafiz Ibn-e-Kaseer’s mode of ‘Seerah-writing’ differs from all other biographers in certain aspects. There are some distinctive marks which distinguish his biography from others. The following Article is an analytic account of the characteristic features and merits as well as deficiencies and shortcomings of ‘Al-Bidaya wan-Nehaya’ with special reference to the science ‘Seerat-Writing’ and it aims at determining its credibility as a source of Prophetic Biography
System of rice intensification (SRI) has been recently developed in which during the vegetative growth period, soil is kept in moist condition after transplanting young seedling singly in square pattern with spacing 25 × 25 cm2. SRI is gaining recognition by farmers of many rice growing regions of the world for raising their rice productivity under limited water supply. However information on (SRI) is limited in Pakistan. Therefore, an on- farm study was conducted during 2010 and 2011 with an objective to access the performance of different chemical fertilizers on three local rice varieties under SRI and conventional management practices at Agricultural Research Institute (North) Mingora (Swat). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement and three replications. The two cultural practices, i.e., (1) SRI: transplanting 15 days old single seedling in a square arrangement with 25 × 25 cm2 spacing, and during the vegetative growth period, keeping the soil in moist condition, and (2) Traditional management practices, and having three rice cultivars and the names were (1) Dilrosh-97, (2) JP-5, and (3) Fakhre Malakand were assigned to main plots, whereas the fertilizer treatments were assigned to sub-plots (4m × 5m). Treatments of fertilizer were comprised, T1 = Control, T2 = 100-0-0-0 kg N-P2O5-K2O-Zn ha-1, T3 = 100-60-0-0 kg N-P2O5-K2O-Zn ha-1, T4 = 100-60-40-0 kg N-P2O5-K2O-Zn ha-1, and T5 = 100-60-40-20 kg N-P2O5-K2O-Zn ha-1. Before transplanting the phosphorous and potassium and half of the nitrogen fertilizers were incorporated into the soil. 7-10 days after transplanting zinc was applied,and the remaining half of N and P was applied in two equal splits at 25-30 days and 45-55 days after transplanting.The results showed statistically significant increase in panicles plant-1 number,tillers plant-1 number, height of plant, length of panicle, number of grains panicle-1, biological yield, paddy yield,thousand-grain weight,harvest index and dry weight of plant enhanced by 9.4%, 8.9%, 10.3%, 9.9%, 9.6%, 6.9%, 4.4%, 1.3%, 9.3% and 15.6% respectively under SRI as compared to the conventional cultivation practices. Among rice varieties Fakhre- Malakand outperformed the other rice varieties under the SRI practices. Similarly, compared to control, T5 improved panicles plant-1 number,height of plant, tillers plant-1 number , length of panicle, number of grains panicle-1, hilum yield, paddy yield, harvest index, thousand-grain weight and dry weight of plant of rice by 38.6%, 37.9%, 34.4%, 37.7%, 40.1%, 12.4%, 39.0%, 21.9%, 39.5%, and 66.1% respectively. It may be concluded from the study that system of rice intensification is a better method for rice cultivation as water accessibility is the major problem in rice production at district Swat. Furthermore, rice variety, Fakhre Malakand proved to be a suitable variety under SRI management practice and may be used to obtain higher rice production, where availability of irrigation water is limited.
