فاروقی، توفیق
بھائی توفیق فاروقی بھی اﷲ کو پیارے ہوگئے
موت توسب ہی کوآتی ہے اورآنی ہے ہی،جوچیز پیدا ہوئی ہے اسے فنا بھی ہونا ہے۔ موت بھی آنی ہے۔لیکن کچھ حضرات کی موت سے ایسا غم وصدمہ اور دکھ ہوتاہے کہ غم بھلانے سے بھی نہیں بھول پاتاہے۔
برہان میں وفیات کا صفحہ لکھاجاچکا تھا، شمیم عثمانی اور حضرت مولانا وحیدالزماں کیرانوی کے انتقال کی تعزیتی تحریر سپرد قلم کی جاچکی تھی کہ ابھی ابھی خبر ملی ہے کہ ’’خاتون مشرق ‘‘ اور ’’گلابی کرن‘‘ کے مدیر جناب توفیق فاروقی مورخہ ۲۴؍اپریل ۱۹۹۵ء بروز پیر کو عارضہ قلب میں مبتلا ہوکر انتقال فرماگئے ۔انا ﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون ۔
مرحوم توفیق فاروقی مجاہد آزادی مولانا عبداﷲ فاروقیؒ کے فرزند اکبر تھے، بڑے ہی ملنسار خلیق و متواضع اور یوپی ودہلی کی تہذیب ووضعداری کے نقیب و علمبردار تھے۔ انہوں نے ’’خاتون مشرق‘‘ اور ’’گلابی کرن‘‘ جیسے رسالوں کے ذریعے مشرقی خصوصاً مسلمان خاتون کو نیک وباعمل اورعفت وعصمت کاپیکر بنانے کا بڑا ہی اچھا اورقابل ستائش کام کیا۔
مفکر ملّت حضرت مفتی عتیق الرحمان عثمانیؒ سے مرحوم توفیق فاروقی اوران کے والد مرحوم مولانا عبداﷲ فاروقی نے ہمیشہ رہنمائی حاصل کی۔احقر عمیدالرحمن عثمانی سے بڑی محبت وعقیدت رکھتے تھے کہتے تھے کہ بھئی تم تو مجاہد ہوکہ اپنے ابّاجان اور ملّت کے رہبر مفتی صاحب کی یادگار ادارہ ندوۃ المصنفین اوررسالہ برہان کوقائم رکھاہوا ہے۔اﷲ تمہیں سلامت رکھے تمہارا دم بڑا غنیمت ہے۔
ذاتی معاملات میں مفتی صاحب کی وفات کے بعد بڑی مدد کی حمایت کی، بہرحال مرحوم توفیق فاروقی بڑے زندہ دل انسان تھے انہوں نے ادب و صحافت کی خدمت کی، ملک وملّت کی خدمت کی۔مسلمان عورت کواسلامی خاتون بنانے کے کاموں کوبڑی اچھی طرح انجام دیا۔اﷲ تعالیٰ غریق رحمت فرمائے اٰمین۔
ادارہ ندوۃ المصنفین اوررسالہ برہان کی طرف سے احقر عمید الرحمن...
Ḥajj―an annual Islamic congregation―is a supreme manifestation of Faith (Imān) in which muslims assemble to pronounce explicitly their subservience and loyalty to Almighty Allah alone. Besides freeing themselves from the squalor of Shirk, Muslims satiate their souls with the feelings of ‘Faith’ and ‘Unity.’ This fact is purely accomplished when the Muslims shed off their outer difference by donning the dress of unity (Iḥrām). Ḥajj is a perfect blend between ‘Creator’ and ‘creature’, ‘soul’ and ‘spirit’ on the one hand and an enduring and invaluable expression physically, socially, and materially on the other. From this pragmatic Institution, Pakistan―one of the premier countries of the Islamic world―can derive unprecedented benefits politically, socially, and economically. One of the important objectives of the paper is to describe the significance of Ḥajj to the people of Pakistan. In so doing, the paper examines and explores, objectively and analytically, the institution of Ḥajj and its implications on the Muslim world, particularly Pakistan. The first section of the paper, “Ḥajj―At a Glance”, presents meaning and historical background of Ḥajj. The second section “Revitalizing the Ḥajj”, besides presenting the revitalization of the Institution by the final Messenger (peace be upon him) also gives an overview of some of the very important rituals to be realized (during Ḥajj). The subsequent sections, “Socio-Economic Dimension of Ḥajj” and “Ḥajj―Implications and Impact on the Society of Pakistan”, describe respectively the socio-economic impact and leverage of the Ḥajj on the Muslim world in general and on Pakistan in particular. The study is followed by “Conclusion” wherein it has been argued that the Ḥajj can bring an immense transformation and positivity in a country if its sweetness is sought in all earnestness.
This study was conducted to standardize plant spacing (Exp. # 1), planning geometry (Exp. # 2) and nutrients input (Exp. # 3 & 4) for quality seed production of radish. Field experiment were conducted during 2013-14 and 2014-15. The results of 1st experiment exhibited that though the growth characters like number of branches, branch length, silique length, silique weight, number of siliques/plant, 1000 seed weight and seed yield/plant were maximum in treatment combination of row and plant spacing 75×45 cm, but seed production/plot was highest in treatment combination of row and plant spacing 60×45 cm, due to higher plant population per unit area. Up take up of NPK was maximum for treatment combination of 75×45 cm due to less inter-plant competition. So, maximum seed production can be obtained by adopting the row and plant spacing of 60×45 cm. In 2nd experiment, it was observed that ridge sowing technique was the best for seed production of radish, is optimal. While, Mino Early variety, performance was better than forty days variety in ridge sowing method. Maximum, N, P and K contents in seed were also observed in ridge sowing. Least seed production was recorded in flat sowing. The results obtained from 3rd experiment indicated that the application of N, P and K @ 100: 100: 75 kg/ha was effective for getting higher seed yield of radish under climate of Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. Plant lodging increased at higher application rates of nutrients, especially nitrogen. Maximum N, P and K contents in seed were recorded in response to NPK application @ 125:100:50 kg/ha, 125:75:75 kg/ha, 125:50:75 kg/ha, respectively. There was no significant impact of various fertilizer doses on number of seeds/silique, silique length and seed germination. The results of 4th experiment exhibited stecklings produced from healthy roots ensured higher and uniform seed production of radish crop. Addition of N, P and K @ 75: 65: 65 kg/ha were found effective for getting higher yield of radish root crop, these roots, when subsequently used for steckling preparations, gave higher seed yield than other fertilizer application rates. Plant lodging increased with increase in nutrient application rates, especially nitrogen. There was no significant impact of various fertilizer doses on seed germination. In crux, for highest seed production, steckling should be planted on ridges, keeping row to row and plant to plant spacing of 60×45 cm, and NPK should be applied @ 100: 100: 75 kg/ha under the agro climatic conditions of Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. While, addition of NPK @ 75: 65: 65 kg/ha to root crop for higher root yield and such roots produced higher seed yield than other fertilizer treatments.
