ڈاکٹر اعجاز حسین ؍ ڈاکٹر مسیح الزماں
گزشتہ مہینہ میں ڈاکٹر اعجاز حسین سابق صدر شعبہ اردو الہ آباد یونیورسٹی کا انتقال حرکت قلب بند ہوجانے سے مظفرپور میں ہوگیا، جہاں وہ ممتحن بن کر گئے ہوئے تھے، ان کی میت الہ آباد لائی گئی، اپنی ملازمت سے سبکدوش ہونے کے بعد بھی لکھنے پڑھنے کا شغل جاری رکھا تھا، اہم اور مفید کتابوں کے مصنف تھے، جن میں مختصر تاریخ ادب اردو اور نئے ادبی رجحانات وغیرہ زیادہ مقبول ہوئیں، اپنے شاگردوں میں بہت مقبول رہے، ان کی وفات سے اردو ادب ایک بہت ہی لائق مصنف اور خدمت گزار سے محروم ہوگیا، ان سے کچھ ہی روز پہلے ڈاکٹر مسیح الزماں ریڈیو شعبہ اردو الہ آباد یونیورسٹی کی بھی وفات اچانک ہوگئی، اردو کی مرثیہ نگاری ان کا خاص موضوع تھا، ان کی عمر وفا کرتی تو اس صنف میں ان کا ادبی کارنامہ بڑا قابل قدر ہوتا، وہ پروفیسر مسعود حسن رضوی سابق صدر شعبہ اردو لکھنؤ یونیورسٹی کے داماد تھے، جن کے لئے اس کبرسنی میں یہ سانحہ بڑا ہی جانکاہ ہوگا۔
دعا ہے کہ خدا اردو ادب کے ان دونوں خدمت گزاروں کو غریق رحمت کرے، آمین ثم آمین۔ (صباح الدین عبدالرحمن، مارچ ۱۹۷۵ء)
استقصاء العوامل المؤثرة في الاعتقاد الإنساني من الناحية الفردية والاجتماعية: دراسة تحليلية في ضوء القرآن والسنة This research work was primarily designed to explore the factors that affect and change the human beliefs. The paper particularly addresses the issue from individual and social perspectives in relation to Holy Quran and authentic traditions of Holy Prophet PBUH. Qualitative research approach was employed for the collection and demonstration of data. The review of relevant literature concluded that there are many factors which seriously affected and changed the human beliefs. However, the most important and common factors are four: individual, social, religious, and economic. These factors play a significant role in changing Islamic beliefs of an individual. In this context, it was recommended that Islamic states in general, and Islamic scholars in particular should play their role to preserve Islamic beliefs in its original form. Furthermore, Muslim scholars should also design the strategy of purging beliefs from impurities and presenting them in systematic, logical and rational way along with their impact on the society
A variety of Schiff bases and their metal complexes have been synthesized from 3 – acetyl – 2 H – chromen – 2 - one and anils. 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde was reacted with ethyl acetoacetate (acacs) in the presence of piperidine to give 3 – acetyl – 2 H - chromen – 2 - one which was further reacted with different anils namely p-toluidine, p-chloroaniline and 2-nitroanilie to obtain Schiff bases. These Schiff bases were used as ligands in the current study. Schiff base metal complexes were then synthesized by reacting Schiff base ligands with 3d-transition metals nickel( II), cobalt( II), copper( II) and zinc( II). Both ligands and metal complexes were then characterized by various spectroscopic techniques which include UV-visible spectroscopy, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Stability of complexes was estimated in solid and solutions form. Amounts of metals in complexes and metals’ to ligands ratios were estimated by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). These metal complexes were found diamagnetic by vibrating sample magnetometry. Schiff base complexes were found to have immense applications in biological fields. So all Schiff base ligands and their metal complexes were scanned against gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains and it was found that they show promising activities against selected bacterial strains.
