پروفیسر عبد الحق کی ایک حیثیت بہ طور تنقید نگار بھی سامنے آتی ہے۔ دراصل تحقیق کے ساتھ ساتھ تنقید بھی اپنا سفر جاری رکھتی ہے۔ ایک طویل علمی سفر اور دیدہ ریزی نے ان میں ایک خاص تنقیدی نظر پیدا کر دی ہے۔ اس لیے اب پروفیسر عبد الحق ہرفن پارے کو اسی نظرسے دیکھتے ہیں۔شاعری اور نثر کے حوالے سے آپ کہتے ہیں کہ :
”یہ عجیب بات ہے کہ نظم ، خاص طور پر غزل کی مقبولیت نے معاشرے کو
اپنی طرف ملتفت کیا اور نثر سے گریزاں بنا دیا۔ آج بھی پیش از پیش ناقدین
شاعری کے پرفریب انتقادی تخمین دظن میں مبتلائے آلام ہیں۔ یہ بھی صبح
ہے کہ نثر کی تنقید آسان نہیں ہے“ (13)
پر و فیسر عبد الحق نے تنقید میں جن موضوعات کو چھوا ہے ان پر قلم اٹھانا ہر ایک کے بس کی بات نہیں۔ اس کے لیے نہ صرف پنا پانی کرنا پڑتا ہے بلکہ شیر کے منہ میں ہاتھ ڈالنے کے مترادف ہے۔ ماہرین کے دل بھی نقاد کی طرف سے میلے ہو جاتے ہیں۔ سردار جعفری کےحوالے سے پروفیسر عبدالحق لکھتے ہیں :
”سردار جعفری کا تعلق بھی علی گڑھ سے تھا۔ یہاں سے فراغت کے بعد اقبال
کو ترقی پسند ادب میں جی بھر کر ہدفِ سلامت بنایا۔ بعد میں مال و متاع سمیٹنے
کی خاطر مراجعت کی اور ستائش سے بھی اقبال کو نوازا۔ جو موقع پرستی کا تقاضا تھا۔
وہ اپنے پرانے خیال سے دست بردار نہیں ہوئے ۔ کیونکہ یہ ان کی مصلحت ، مسلک
اور منشور کے خلاف تھا۔ اور سیاسی مفاد کی حصول یابی میں بھی خارج تھا۔ ان کی
شاعری میں کلام اقبال کا حلول ان کا حرز جاں بھی تھا۔ لیکن تنقید کا مدعا کچھ اور
تھا“ (14)
اقبال ترقی پسندوں کو...
Character building of a person is very necessary to make any society better, healthier and superior as the construction of society depends upon the people's character building. A number of crime cases are evident that the character of most people is already in alarming phase. However family members, society, Islamic schools mad?ris, universities, and cultural activities can play vital role in character building. Improvement in our current situation as well as development of our future depends upon the building of people character. This study aims to highlight the impact of the Prophetic Sunnah and to show its effective role in building the character of a person individual through the selection of practical models of the true Sunnah, for example, showing great care for all aspects of human such as materialistic, mental and spiritual aspects. If we really want to improve our society or turn it to perfection, people will have to focus on character building, particularly on people's moral, spiritual and social character so that society can present the real portrait of peace and prosperity. This study concluded that the Prophetic Sunnah is rich in the educational principles which preceded the contemporary research and theories, making it first reference as a basic requirement.
Studies to evaluate selenium (Se) supplementation through various application methods for its enrichment in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were conducted in the Seed Science Laboratory and Agronomic Research Area, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Initially, two laboratory studies were conducted to optimize the rate of Se supplementation for seed priming and seed coating of two wheat cultivars Shafaq-2006 and Lasani-2008. Laboratory experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design in factorial arrangements and replicated thrice. In an initial field study, the impact of exogenous Se supplementation by various methods on the enrichment of two local bread wheat cultivars was undertaken while in a second experiment, grain enrichment potential through foliage applied Se on wheat cv. Lasani-2008 was investigated. Both field experiments were carried out in randomized complete block design in a factorial arrangement having a net plot size of 2.7× 6.0 m with three and four replications respectively. Results of the laboratory priming experiment revealed that seeds primed in 0.125 mM and 1.25 mM Se priming solution gave a significantly improved stand establishment and seedling growth rate as exhibited by a substantial reduction in the time to undertake 50% emergence (T50) and the mean emergence time (MET) as compared to other treatments. In the second laboratory trial, coating of 1 kg of wheat seed with either 1.5 or 1.0 g Se considerably improved the early emergence, which in turn resulted in a healthy seedling stand establishment and better growth of seedlings of both wheat cultivars studied. In the first field study, Se supplementation by foliage feeding (100 g ha-1 or 50 g ha-1) significantly improved spike length, number of spikelets spike-1, number of grains spike-1, the number of productive tillers m- 2, 1000-grain weight, biological yield, grain yield and harvest index of both wheat cultivars and during both years of the study. However, non-significant variation in plant height for both varieties was recorded with Se nutrition. Maximum Se enrichment was observed in grains of wheat cv. Lasani- 2008 when treated with foliar feeding of 100 g Se ha-1. Lasani-2008 showed better potential for accumulation of Se in grains as compared to Shafaq-2006. Results of the second field study revealed that different sources of Se supplementation, applied at different growth stages, significantly affected the growth and yield of wheat. Maximum grain yield was attained with foliar spray of sodium selenate at booting stage. In contrast, Se foliage sprays applied at anthesis (flowering) caused significantly higher accumulation of Se in wheat grains as compared to all other treatments. In first field trial, Se application through seed priming, at the rate of 0.125 mM showed the maximum net benefit while in the second field study; maximum net benefit was obtained with the Se foliar spray at the booting stage of growth.
