وادیِ سینا
جس وادی مقدس طویٰ کا ذکر قرآن میں ملتا ہے اس کی وسعت قلبی واضح نظر آ رہی تھی ۔ گرمی سے نڈھال پیاسی وادی نے اپنی چونچ بحیرہ احمر میں ڈال رکھی تھی ،بحر ہند کا پانی جزیرہ نما عرب کے یمنی ساحلی علاقے راس منہلی اور براعظم افریقہ کے راس سیاں کے درمیا ن کوئی بیس میل کی ایک تنگ گھاٹی سے گزر کر افریقہ اور ایشیا کے درمیان حدِ فاضل کھینچتا ہے جو وادیٔ سینا پہنچ کر دوحصو ںمیںمنقسم ہو جا تا ہے مشرقی حصے کو خلیج عقبہ جبکہ مغربی حصے کو خلیج سویز کہا جا تا ہے ۔قاہرہ سے وادیٔ سینا جاتے ہوئے خلیج سویز کو عبور کرنا پڑتا ہے ۔اس حصے میں موسیٰ ؑنے اپنی قوم کو فرعونی مظالم سے نجات کے لیے پار کرایا تھا اور اسی بحر میں فرعون منفتاح غرق ہوا تھا۔
مصر ،سعودی عرب،اسرائیل اور اردن کی سرحدیں خلیج عقبہ میں ملتی ہیں ۔سعودی عرب اسی ساحل ’پر نیوم‘ نامی بستی بسا رہا ہے ۔اس جدید بستی کے بارے میں یہ بات کہی جا رہی کہ یہاں عیش و عشرت کے وہ سارے ذرائع موجودد ہوں گے جن کے لیے مغرب و مشرق کے عیاش طبقات دنیا کے کسی بھی کونے میں جانے سے انکار نہیں کرتے ۔
جہاز نے سمت بدلنے کے لیے جب داہنا پنکھ نیچے کیا تو کھڑکی سے خلیج سویز ایک نیلے ربن کی طرح نظر آ رہی تھی ۔محمد علی نے اشارہ کیا کہ وہ پانی خلیج سویز ہے ۔انہوں نے نہر سویز کی لمبائی چوڑائی اور اس پر برطانوی ،امریکی اور فرانسیسی قبضے کی تاریخ بھی بیان کی او ر بڑے فخر سے جمال عبدالناصر کی بہادری اور اس نہر کے قومیانے کے عمل کو سراہا ۔ انہوںنے کہا کہ ۱۸۶۹ء...
The Holy Quran aims to all Muslims to implement the teachings of the Quran in their lives and apply these guidelines which are considered as mandatory code of life for every Muslim. Advancement of Quranic education in society is a great duty for all Muslim as well as they have to utilize maximum available resources and human skills for promotion of Holy Quran in the society. There are two types of institutions they provide Quranic education with a focus on understanding of the Quran. One of them the religious seminaries who follow traditional teaching methods for Quranic education. There are many academic institutions other than the religious seminaries they use different and non-traditional methods for teaching of the Quran. Various academic activities to develop the understanding of the Quran through multi model approaches and strategies of teaching Arabic language are being organized by non-traditional institutes. In this regards nontraditional institutes introduced “Quranic Arabic Language” and easy Arabic Grammar practices for non-Arabic population. Comparison of two different systems, traditional and non-traditional institutes of Quranic education in Pakistan in this research article has been presented.
The study was launched to estimate the genetic diversity and association mapping amongst Brassica juncea genotypes through agro-morphological traits. To estimate the genetic diversity data was recorded on 15 qualitative and 17 quantitative traits of 331 genotypes for two successive years. The recorded data was analysed through cluster and PCA. Valuable genetic variability was found for no. of days to physiological maturity, days to flowering and plant height. Pod shattering percentage have medium level of variation. Among the studied traits, highest and significant correlation (.97**) was recorded for days. to. flowering. initiation. and 50% days to flowering, flower initiation days and flowering completion days and days to half flowering and flowering completion days followed by correlation (0.89**) between flower initiation days and no. of days to physiological maturity. The genotypes studied were divided into 4 main groups based on cluster analysis. It was found that 6 out of 17 principal components with an eigenvalue of ≥ 1 accounted for 68.58% difference of the overall diversity found among the studied genotypes. The contribution of first 3 PCs in overall diversity was 30.63%, 10.30%, 8.92% respectively. For getting promising results, the elite genotypes could be recommended for future breeding programme. The association study exhibits identification of markers associated with economically important traits. A total of 131 B. juncea L. genotypes were used in the GWAS. Illumina® 90K Brassica Infinium Assay (~90,000 SNPs) were run on selected genotypes. Multiple SNPs distributed on most of the chromosomes were identified. A total of 366 significant loci (-log10 P-value ≤0.001)were identified for 17 economically important traits of Brassica juncea L. genotypes including, days to half flowering(DF50%),flowering completion days(DFC),no. of days to physiological maturity (DM), Pod shattering percentage (PS), Leaf length (LL), Leaf width (LW), Plant height (PH), No. of primary branches per plant (PB/P), Length of main raceme(MRL), Pods on main raceme(P/MR), Stem thickness (ST), Pod length (PL), Pod width (PW),no. of grains per pod (G/P),grain yield( GY/P), thousand seed weight ( TGW) and Blackleg in total of 77,969 SNPs with minor allele frequency (MAF) ≥ 0.05. 6, 6, 4, 8, 9, 8, 1, 1, 4, 6, 4, 4, 1, 10, 6 and 3 SNPs were identified on multiple chromosome locations for DF50, DFC, DM, LL, LW, PH, PB/B, PL, PW, Pod Shattering, ST, P/MR, S/P,GY/P,TGW and Blackleg, respectively. The discovered major SNPs could help breeders to select high performing Brassica juncea L. genotypes through marker assisted selection (MAS) as well as to develop elite lines for future breeding program.
