علامہ ابوالفضل عباسی چریا کوٹی
ماہ رواں کے افسوس ناک علمی حادثوں میں دومشہور مسلمان مصنفین اور اہل قلم کی وفات ہے، ایک سید امیر علی بالقابہ اور دوسرے مولوی سید وحیدالدین سلیم پانی پتی، اس سے پہلے چند ماہ ہوئے کہ ایک اور کہنہ مسلمان فاضل مصنف علامہ ابوالفضل عباسی چریا کوٹی وکیل گورکھپور کی وفات کی خبر ملی تھی ان بزرگوں کا یکے بعد دیگرے یوں رخصت ہوتے جانا علم اور قوم کی بدنصیبی ہے۔
علامہ ابوالفضل عباسی چریا کوٹی استاذنا محمد فاروق صاحب یاکوٹی کے شاگرد تھے اور ان چند مستثنیٰ علماء میں تھے، جنہوں نے اس عہد میں جب انگریزی کفر سمجھی جاتی تھی، انگریزی تعلیم حاصل کی، چنانچہ علی گڑھ کالج کے ان طلبہ میں تھے، جو اس کے سب سے کم دیرپا مشرقی شعبہ علوم میں داخل تھے، مرحوم وکالت کے ساتھ ہمیشہ مذہبی و تاریخی تالیف و تصنیف میں مصروف رہتے تھے، چنانچہ قرآن پاک کا اردو ترجمہ الاسلام، تاریخ اسلام، انگریزی میں قانون محمدی کی بعض کتابیں، انتخاب دواوین اور ایک دو اصلاحی افسانے یادگار چھوڑے، ’’الاسلام‘‘ اور ’’تاریخ اسلام‘‘ مرحوم کی بہترین تصنیفات ہیں، مرحوم کی عمر غالباً کم و بیش ستر (۷۰) ہوگی۔ (سید سلیمان ندوی، اگست ۱۹۲۸ء)
The religion that the Prophet ﷺ brought is a complete religion, and its teachings are for every aspect of life whether it is political life or economic life, individual life or collective life, there are rare instances of his guidance. In the Islamic system, the issue of distribution of wealth has been given great importance. On the contrary, it seems that the whole economy is based on making this sector stable and fair. So that wealth does not accumulate in one place but circulate it through donations and gifts other than Zakat. One of the purposes of the donations of the Holy Prophet was to train the Companions. With the donations of the Holy Prophet, the concentration of wealth was eliminated, the pleasure of Allah was obtained, and the state was strengthened internally and externally Muslims became economically and socially prosperous. The Muslim Ummah needs it in the present age to adopt the highest aspect of the life of the Holy Prophet and should not accumulate wealth but should spend it in various ways on God's creation without any purpose. This paper focuses on the wisdom of gifts/Attiyaat of the Prophet ﷺ. Why the Prophet ﷺfeel the need of giving other than Zakat.
Background: The heart size has traditionally been assessed using absolute reference weights. But the heart weight (HW) has been shown to depend on one’s body size hence a better measure is the ratio of the HW to the body weight (BW) – the HW-BW coefficient. Initially noted to be 0.43% and 0.40% in males and females respectively, recent studies have shown an increase of up to 0.51%.
Objective: To determine the HW-BW coefficient in Kenyans aged 14 years and above.
Methods: One hundred and four deceased Kenyans aged 14 years and above, with no heart or chronic lung disease, were recruited into the prospective cross-sectional study. Their ages, body lengths (BLs), BW and HW were recorded. Their body mass indices (BMI) and body surface areas (BSA) were also calculated.
Results: There were 88 males and 16 females, all of African descent. Males had larger HW. The HW-BW ratio was 0.48% and 0.42% in males and females respectively. The difference in the value between the sexes was statistically significant. Among the males, there was a significant positive correlation between HW and all body indices as well as with age. Among the females, there was a significant positive correlation between HW and BSA and between HW and age. Recently generated HW-vs-BW and HW-vs-BSA charts from the UK were found unsuitable for the Kenyan context.
Conclusions: The Kenyan HW-BW coefficient is lower than that recently documented in other parts of the world. Males have a larger coefficient than females. The HW is related to both size and age of an individual.
