پروفیسر ضیاء احمد بدایونی
افسوس ہے گزشتہ مہینہ ہماری پرانی بزم علم وادب کی ایک اورشمع بجھ گئی۔ پروفیسر ضیاء احمد صاحب بدایونی، بدایوں کے ایک نامور خانوادۂ شعروادب کے فرزند ارجمند تھے۔قدیم دستور کے مطابق عربی فارسی کی تعلیم ایک مدرسہ میں پائی پھرانگریزی تعلیم کی طرف متوجہ ہوئے توایم۔اے تک پہنچے، فارسی میں جس کا امتحان الٰہ آباد یونیورسٹی سے فرسٹ ڈویژن میں پاس کیا۔۱۹۲۶ء میں بسلسلۂ ملازمت علی گڑھ مسلم یونیورسٹی سے وابستہ ہوئے اورشعبۂ فارسی کے صدر اورپروفیسر کی حیثیت سے۱۹۵۹ء میں ریٹائرڈ ہوئے۔
موصوف کی استعداد بڑی پختہ اورنظر بہت وسیع تھی۔عربی،فارسی اوراردو شعروادب پر تحقیقی اور مبصرانہ نگاہ رکھتے تھے۔ لغت ان کا خاص فن تھا چنانچہ ریٹائرمنٹ کے بعد چند برس علی گڑھ میں اورچند برس دہلی میں لغت پرجوکام اردو شعبوں کے ماتحت ہورہاہے اس سے وابستہ رہے۔ تصنیف وتالیف کاذوق فطری تھا چنانچہ تاریخ و ادب پرمتعدد تصنیفات یادگار چھوڑی ہیں جن میں دیوان مومن مع ایک طویل مقدمہ کے اورشرح قصائد مومن خاصہ کی چیزیں ہیں۔ مذہبیات سے بڑی دلچسپی تھی، اس سلسلہ میں بھی ان کی دوتین کتابیں ہیں۔ اخلاق و عادات کے لحاظ سے بھی بڑی خوبیوں کے بزرگ تھے، نہایت خوددار، ملنسار اورمتواضع تھے۔ طلباء پربے حد شفقت کرتے اور ان کی خدمت کے لیے ہروقت مستعد رہتے تھے۔ کم سخن تھے مگرجب بولتے تھے توتقریر مربوط اور پُرمغز کرتے تھے۔ عمر۷۷برس کے لگ بھگ تھی۔ ادھر کچھ عرصہ سے علی گڑھ میں جس کو انھوں نے اپنا وطن بنالیا تھا مقیم تھے۔وہیں۸/جولائی کوشب میں انتقال ہوا۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ غریق رحمت کرے، اب اس وضع کے لوگ کہاں ملیں گے۔

The aim of Hijrah is philosophically viewed as a way to spread Islam wisely. This was by Allah’s guidance and directive amidst the very bitter atmosphere in Makkah at that time against the early followers of the Islamic religion brought by the Rasulullah (pbuh). The prophetic Hijrah observed from the way it impacted Makkah and Madinah’s societies can be construed as a very important event that provided us with a variety of messages. It also acts as a reflection of our contributions to da’wah and the roles we can assume as good Muslims, by looking at what the Rasulullah (pbuh) and his companions had themselves sacrificed in the Hijrah. In short, Al-Hijra is the time when the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his followers moved from Makkah to Madinah, where they set up the first Islamic state. Islam needed to expand and spread in the world, so the migration resulted in the expansion and preservation of Islam and Muslims. The Rasulullah (pbuh) migrated to Madinah when his enemies in Makkah mistreated him and his followers. It is a fact that the early Muslims in Makkah were greatly troubled by the unbelievers of Quraisy, the tribe of the Prophet (pbuh). The Rasulullah’s (pbuh) popularity in his da'wah efforts to invite his people to Islam was seen as threatening by the people in power in Makkah. The context of Hijrah was seen as urgent and timely as the unbelievers in Makkah had escalated the persecution against Muhammad (pbuh) and his followers. This persecution and a directive from Allah were the main reasons for the migration.
Gait analysis of a child is becoming more and more significant as observation of posture of a stripped child may generate false positives as the incumbent becomes conscious and assumes an abnormal posture. On the other hand, observing gait of an undressed child walking or running a number of steps may give clues to underlying musculoskeletal or neurological disorders. In this work, results of a study on a sample of 7-10-year-old students (68 boys; 65 girls), enrolled in a local school representing middle-class-educated families, are presented. The students were followed up from KG to class III (2011-2013). Heights and weights were obtained every year and a detailed gait examination was performed in classes II and III, with the students completely disrobed except short underpants. A detailed Growth-and-Obesity Profilewas generated for each child to determine the nutritional-status category (under- nutrition, over-nutrition, energy-channelization I-III), in which the child should be placed. The probability of spastic gait was found to be highest in children exhibiting energy-channelization II (stunting combined with obesity), i. e., 32.00%, seconded by those manifesting energy-channelization I (tallness combined with wasting), i.e.,21.43%. Over-nourished (tallness combined with obesity) children had 10.00% probability of having spastic gait, whereas under-nourished (stunting combined with wasting) children had 8.82% probability. Acutely malnourished children (both heightand mass percentiles falling below 3rd had 14.29% probability. A possible explanation of these results may be on the basis of asymmetric distribution of mass about the sagittal plane, which may create a torque responsible for spastic gait in such children.
