افسوس ہے پچھلے چندمہینوں میں اسلامی ہند کی بعض نامور شخصیتوں نے جو علم وادب اور دین وسیاست کے مختلف اعتبارات سے اپنا اپنا ایک نمایاں مقام رکھتی تھیں،اس جہانِ فانی کو وداع کہہ کر عالمِ جاودانی کی راہ لی۔اس سلسلہ میں سب سے پہلے سانحۂ ارتحال مولانا محمدمیاں منصور کاپیش آیا۔مولانامرحوم ہمارے لائق اور عزیز دوست مولانا حامد الانصاری غازی اڈیٹر’ مدینہ‘ کے والد ماجد اور دارالعلوم دیوبند کے قدیم فرزند معنوی تھے۔ حضرت شیخ الہندؒ کے فیضان صحبت نے جن چند خوش نصیبوں کے مس خام کو چمکا کر کندن بنادیا تھامولانا مرحوم بھی انھیں میں سے ایک تھے۔چنانچہ وہ حضرت شیخ الہند کے مشن پرافغانستان گئے اور اتحادِ اسلامی کی تحریک کے سلسلہ میں وہاں رہ کر انقلابی قسم کے مختلف کام کرتے رہے۔ اس کا نتیجہ یہ ہواکہ ایک طرف ان کے لیے خودان کے وطن عزیز کی سرزمین ارضِ ممنوعہ قرار دے دی گئی اوردوسری جانب دشمنوں کی دسیسہ کاریوں نے دارالہجرت(افغانستان) میں بھی ان کو چین سے نہ بیٹھنے دیا۔لیکن باایں ہمہ وہ تحریر و تقریر تصنیف وتالیف اور عملی جدوجہد کے ذریعہ مسلمانوں کو اسلامی انقلاب کی دعوت دے کر حضرت شیخ الہندؒ کے ’’خوابِ پریشاں‘‘ کی تفسیر و تعبیر سناتے رہے اورآخر کارعرصۂ طویل کی جلا وطنی کے بعد جان جان آفرین کے سپرد کرکے راہی ملک بقا ہوگئے ۔ ہر چند کہ ان کی وفات وطن سے بہت دورہوئی تاہم افغانستان اسلامی ملک ہونے کے باعث ان کے لیے دیارِغیر نہ تھاچنانچہ جنازہ بڑی دھوم دھام سے اٹھااور فرمانِ شاہی کے مطابق فوجی اعزاز واکرام کے ساتھ تدفین کی رسم عمل میں آئی۔
رب السموات والارض ان کو صدیقین وشہداء کامقامِ جلیل عطافرمائے اوراپنے الطافِ خاص سے نوازے۔آمین۔ [مئی۱۹۴۶ء]
The growing number of diabetes coupled with the harsh side effects of some synthetic drugs has led to the increasing search for alternative medicine which are relatively cheap with minimum side effects. Objective: To investigate the anti-diabetic effect of ethanolic extract of Carica papaya and Psidiumguajava extracts separately and in combination, and the effect of treatment on hepato-renal performance. Methods: Papaya and guava leaves were macerated in 98% ethanol for extraction. Results: The result showed that ethanolic leaf extract of P. Guajava and C. Papaya significantly (P< 0.05) reduced blood glucose level, Total Cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and significant increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) as compared to diabetic control group. Serum activities of liver enzymes such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was slightly elevated that indicate hepatotoxic nature of plant extracts. The level of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), bilirubin and HbA1C level were restored to normal range. A slight reduction in body weight (P>0.05) of treated groups was observed. Serum urea and creatinine concentration was restored to normal level in treated rats with regeneration of kidney function. Conclusions: The study concluded that individual and combined plant extract show anti-hyperglycemic effect but the combined remedy at this dose show hepatotoxicity
This study aims to improve the teaching of writing narratives in an English language classroom. By using a qualitative method and a collaborative action research, the study was conducted in a private school in Karachi, Pakistan. In this study, the primary research participant was an English language teacher who was teaching English language at lower secondary level. There were five students who were the secondary research participants of the study. Their work was analyzed to see whether there was any improvement in their written narratives that was taught by both researcher and the research participant. In our English language classrooms, teaching of writing is done in a very traditional manner where teachers focus to product rather than the process of the writing. Teachers do not pay attention on writing and rewriting in order to improve the children's work. Mostly, the first draft of children's work is considered as final draft. Children encounter problems while writing because they are not provided with opportunities to develop their writing skills and they are often asked to write about topics which are not relevant to their lives. Thus, writing is best learnt in a natural setting with topics that are pertinent to their lives. Teachers need to provide a variety of experiences to children while teaching writing skills. The purpose of the study was to improve a teacher's teaching of writing narratives and to guide him/her to introduce above motioned strategy to make a shift from product to process of writing and thus, transform students into independent writers. For this study, reflective journal, observations and interviews were used to collect data. The teaching of writing narratives was found to be a useful activity as it builds practical and theoretical knowledge of the research participant. It was found that children best learnt to write when they are asked to write about topics that are relevant to their lives. Another observation was that the use of scenario to motivate children to write is less effective because it limits their creativity and they end up producing similar kind of texts. The use of writing frameworks and the steps of PA facilitate the teaching and learning of writing skills in an English language classroom. Furthermore, this study is significant for ELT in the context of Pakistan where writing, in English, is regarded as the most difficult skill among other teaching language skills. The finding of this study will
