فرد قائم ربط ملت سے ہے تنہا کچھ نہیں
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز سامعین اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو! آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کی سعادت حاصل ہورہی ہے وہ ہے:’’فرد قائم ربط ملت سے ہے تنہا کچھ نہیں ‘‘
صدرِذی وقار!
فرد ملت کی بنیادی اکائی ہے ،فرد ہے تو ملت ہے، فرد ہے تو قوم کا وجود ہے، فرد ہے تو اس کائنات کی رنگینیاں ہیں، فرد ہے تو اس کا ئنات کی رعنائیاں ہیں ، فرد ہے تواس گیتی کے گلشن میں بہار ہے، فرد ہے تو اس گلستانِ ہستی میں نکھارہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
یہ مصرع ہمیں اتحاد کا درس دے رہا ہے۔ہمیں اتحاد کی بابت آگاہ کر رہا ہے، فردکا وجود ہی اتحاد کی بدولت قائم ہے، اتحادکا لفظ ہے ہی بڑی جاذبیت کا حامل ، یہ جس فقرے میں آ جائے اس کے معنی میں حسن پیدا ہو جاتا ہے، چند اینٹیں متحد ہو جائیں تو مکان کی تعمیر ہو جاتی ہے، چند قطرے متحد ہو جائیں تو بحر بے کنار کی شکل اختیار کر لیتے ہیں۔
صدرِ ذی وقار!
اتحاد جس صورت میں بھی موجود ہو قابل تحسین تصور کیا جاتا ہے، جوقوم آپس میں مربوط ہوتی ہے وہ ہر لحاظ سے خوش و خرم ہوتی ہے، اس کی فضاؤں میں آلودگی کا زہر نہیں ہوتا، اس کے کھلیانوں میں غیر نافع بوٹیاں نہیں اگتیں، اس کے شجر سایہ دار خزاں آشنا نہیں ہوتے ، اس کے میدان ویران نہیں ہوتے ، اس کے ہسپتال آباد نہیں ہوتے۔
جنابِ صدر!
اسلام میں اتحادِ ملی پر بڑا زور دیا گیا ہے، حدیث پاک میں ہے کہ مسلمان مسلمان کا بھائی ہے، مسلمان مسلمان کوگالی نہیں دیتا، مسلمان مسلمان کو برا بھلا نہیں...
Abstract: The article deals with the life and contribution ofNaseem Hijazi towards reconstruction ofIslamic thought through his historical novels in New Muslim generation. As a novel writer < Naseem Hijazi is regarded as one of thefinest writers of Urdu language especially in the later 20th century. Among his popular contemporaries were Ibn-e-Safh Saadat Hasan Manto< and Shqfiq-ur-Rehman< all having their particular line ofliterature. Naseem Hijazi is knownfor his potent and romantic description of history. There are only two writers prior to Hijazi who wrote history novels in Urdu: Abdul Haleem Sharar and Sadiq sardhunwi < but Hijazi’s writing is most credible in terms of historical description and accuracy. He exercised extra care to back his study of history by through research and to cite his sources whenever possible. Hijazi creates his powerful expression by blending this study of history with fairytale romanticism. The story usually revolves around characters who were related to< and shown present at the actual historical event that wishes tofocus on. Naseem Hijazi bases most ofhis work in Islamic history. In dealing with this history' he shows both the rise and fall of the Islamic Empire. This writer seems to have been inspired a lot by Allama Muhammad Iqbal's poetry. He tries, not very unlike Iqbal, to remind his readers of the lost glory of the Muslims and in a way inspire them to work with commitment to achieve lost glory in all walks of life. Naseem Hijazi has immensely influenced his readers both in and out of Pakistan. He has been one of the key sources of Islamist ideologies in Pakistan and worked as a key ideology and valour builder during the Soviet-Afghan War. Many Pakistani educated Youngsters throughout 1950s till today are believed to have been emotionally and ideologically inspired by his writings. He enjoys a very large reader base even after his death.
Excessive use of pesticides has caused agricultural and environmental hazards. Microbial inoculation is an alternate to pesticides for confronting pathogens and is an environmental friendly approach. Endophytes are beneficial microbes and biologically safe for inducing tolerance in plants. Hence, the current research was conducted to evaluate endophytes potential in wheat against drought stress and rust diseases. Fifty genotypes of wheat were sown under Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in field conditions for evaluation against rust diseases and drought conditions. The drought stress was given to the wheat genotypes by skipping the irrigation at flowering and grain filling stage for drought resistance whereas all genotypes were also inoculated against rust diseases through natural and artificial method at tillering and heading stage. Data regarding drought stress were recorded on the basis of different growth parameters viz. number of grains per spike, 1000-grain weight (g), number of productive tillers m2, biological yield (gm-2), grain yield (gm-2), harvest index % and percent yield reduction, drought tolerance indices like mean productivity (MP), tolerance index (TOL) and stress susceptibility index (SSI). Data regarding final disease severity percentage, area under disease progress curve and coefficient of infection were recorded for rust diseases. Kohsar-95 and Parwaz-94 exhibited most drought sensitive genotypes while two leaf rust (Faisalabad-85, Aas-02) and two yellow rust genotypes viz. Fareed-06 and Shafaq-06 expressed susceptible response. Plant samples for endophytes were collected from desert areas (Cholistan, Thar and Rohi) of Pakistan. The endophytes were isolated, identified and purified in Plant Mycology Lab. on sterilized Potato Dextrose Agar media (PDA). The in-vitro efficacy of endophytes was evaluated in test tubes containing 0.3% agar concentration. The wheat seed was sown in test tube containing distilled water along with fungal spore suspensions (1×106/ml) and incubated at 28±2oC. The root and shoot length was measured after 4 days of interval. The four endophytes expressed significant results were used for further studies. Spore suspensions of these endophytes were prepared and their concentrations were observed through haemocytometer. Seeds of disease and drought susceptible wheat genotypes were inoculated by dipping in spore suspension and sown in field under factorial RCBD. Inoculated susceptible wheat genotypes exhibited the tolerance against drought and rust diseases. The endophyte Piriformospora indica showed significant increase in grain yield 15.4% of drought sensitive genotypes followed by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, Trichoderma viride, and Acremonium lolii 11.3 %, 8.1 % and 7.5 % respectively. Similarly, for leaf and yellow rust diseases P. indica also exhibited statistically significant increase in grain yield 17.5% and 12.3%, respectively followed by Trichoderma spp. (13.7 % and 10.6 %). Colletotrichum spp. and Acremonium spp. showed (7.1%, 6.2%) as well as (8.2%, 4.2%) under leaf rust and yellow rust conditions respectively.
