مولانا قاضی زین العابدین سجادؔ میرٹھی
گزشتہ ماہ مولانا قاضی زین العابدین سجادؔ میرٹھی اور جناب میکشؔ اکبر آبادی رحلت فرماگئے، قاضی صاحب میرٹھ کے ایک علمی و دینی خاندان کے فرد اور دارالعلوم دیوبند کے ممتاز فضلا میں تھے، وہ عرصہ تک جامعہ ملیہ اسلامیہ کے شعبۂ دینیات و تاریخ اسلام کے صدر رہے، تحریر و تصنیف کا ذوق مولانا تاجورنجیب آبادی کی صحبت میں پیدا ہوا، ابتدا میں مصطفی منفلوطی کے عربی افسانوں کا اردو ترجمہ کیا، کئی برس تک میرٹھ سے ’’الحرم‘‘ نکالتے رہے، جس کے کئی خاص نمبر شایع ہوئے اردو عربی لغت میں بیان اللسان اور قاموس القرآن ترتیب دی، ندوۃ المصنفین دہلی کی کتاب ’’تاریخ ملت‘‘ کے بعض حصے مرتب کیے، دو تین برس قبل ان کی کتاب ’’شہید کربلا‘‘ شایع ہوئی، جمعیۃ علمائے ہند اور دارالعلوم دیوبند کی سرگرمیوں میں بھی حصہ لیتے رہے، کئی برس سے بیمار تھے ۸۸ء میں آخری بار دہلی کے مدنی سیمینار میں ملاقات ہوئی تو بہت کمزور ہوگئے تھے، طبیعت میں نفاست تھی، خوش وضع، خوش پوش اور خلیق و ملنسار شخص تھے، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت فرمائے۔ (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی، مئی ۱۹۹۱ء)
Islam provides a systematic system of crime and punishment through the Qur'an. The Qur'an first urges everyone to believe in Allah and the Last Day. And after that he commands piety. In the presence of which man's heart and mind remain free from sin. The Qur'an presents the concept of a society in which everyone meets his basic needs and desires in a legitimate way. And it does not have to resort to illegal and criminal means to meet these needs. When crime is not eliminated in these two ways, then the state orders the imposition of sanctions. Islam is not limited to severe punishments. It calls for the establishment of a social system in which there is no room for crime. Even so, if a person commits a crime, the state punishes him as a warning. People can learn from these punishments and refrain from following the path of sin. The Qur'an also commands a group of Muslims to be present at the time of punishment.
There are many tests of inheritance based upon sibling information for diseases that have late onset. The N-test (Green et al. 1983) is one of these tests, which utilizes information from affected siblings. The N-test is the count in affected siblings of the most frequently occurring haplotype from the father plus the analogous count from the mother. When applied to haplotypes, the N-test excludes recombinant families from the analysis and assumes that parental genotypes are heterozygous. But in real world data sets, generally in Asia and particularly in Pakistan, the case of heterogeneity of parents genotyping were not exist and therefore recombinant families are found more frequently. In this study we modified the N-test to be based on alleles instead of haplotypes. This modified allele-based N-test can include all families (recombinant as well as nonrecombinant). We carried out a simulation study to compare the power of the allele-based N-test with the powers of the S a l l and S p a i r s nonparametric statistics as computed by MERLIN. The powers of the allelebased N-test, S a l l and S p a i r s statistics are identical to each other for
iii
affected sibships of size 2 and 3. For affected sibships of larger sizes, the powers of the S a l l and S p a i r s statistics are larger than the power of allelebased N-test. These simulation-based results are consistent with earlier results based on analytical computations. Gene-mapping studies regularly rely on examination for Mendelian transmission of marker alleles in a pedigree, as a way of screening for genotyping errors and mutations. For analysis of family data sets, it is usually necessary to resolve or remove the genotyping errors prior to analysis. At the Center of Inherited Disease Research (CIDR), to deal with their large-scale data flow, they formalized their data cleaning approach in a set of rules based on PedCheck output. We examine via carefully designed simulations that how well CIDR’s data cleaning rules work in practice. We found that genotype errors in siblings are detected more often than in parents for less polymorphic SNPs and vice versa for more polymorphic SNPs. Through computer simulation, we conclude that some of the CIDR’s rules work poorly in some situations and we suggest a set of modified data cleaning rules that may work better than CIDR’s rules.
