Introduction of Anjuman Khuddām Al-Qur’ān
Anjuman Khuddām al-Qur’ān was established by Dr. Isrār Aḥmad in March 1972A. D. It was registered in November 1972A. D and Dr. Isrār Aḥmad was declared as lifetime president.[1]
The Memorandum of the Anjuman has the following contents:
Naḥmaduhū wa Nuṣallī ‘alā Rasūlehil karīm

It is strongly felt that the dream of the renaissance of Islām and the second tenure for supremacy of righteous Dīn cannot be fulfilled without initiating a general movement to invoke faith in Muslim Ummah. To achieve this, it is mandatory that the source of faith and belief, i. e, the doctrine of intellect and wisdom by the Qur’ān should be publicized on a wide scale. Since we are in harmony with the thoughts of Dr. Isrār Aḥmad by overviewing his matchless task performed by him for the last four and half years, we, the few servants of The Divine Book hereby decide to set up “Central Anjuman Khuddām al-Qur’ān” which under the guidance of Dr. Isrār Aḥmad will keep striving the following objectives:
1. Learning and customization of the Arabic Language.
2. General persuasion and an invitation to study the Qur’ān.
3. Transmitting and publishing the Qur’ānic disciplines.
4. Adequate grooming and training of the youth who can make teaching and learning of the Qur’ān the life-mission, and
5. Setting up of aQur’ān Academy which may present across philosophy and wisdom of the Qur’ān at the highest academic level.
May Allāh enable us to achieve these objectives by putting in maximum effort and sacrifice! (Āmīn)

Women employment is a practical issue of the modern age. It is adopted by almost all the nations and countries of the world. In the western countries rights of women including employment, trade, property, education etc were recognized after the efforts ofWomen Liberation Movement. However, in Islam these were declared their basic rights since the first day. A western woman is bound to earn her livelihood as it is not the duty ofa western man to provide her basic needs. However, in Islam a woman is legally protected for the provision of all her basic needs and it is the duty of her father, brother, husband and son to provide these to her. Islam permits a woman to do a job or carry out trade activities and earn money subject to some conditions. These may be carried out by the permission of her husband, father, etc. Besides employment, a woman should perform her obligations at her home and family, which is her basic duty. She must be careful about her husband and children rights. She must observe Hijab and abstain from mixing with non-mehram men and should follow other social teachings of Islam. Wealth earned by her is considered her property and she can spend it any way at her discretion. Study of Islamic History revealed that many of the wives of the prophet (Sallalla ho alaihe wassalam) and Sahabiyat (RA) carried out business activities and performed other jobs and thus earned money. They spent it to assist the Prophet's noble cause and to assist their husbands and to care their children. These activities were considered authorized and endorsed by the prophet (Sallalla ho alaihe wassalam)
Rare earth-based materials with pyrochlore structure have shown a potential for practical applications due to their stable crystal structure with tunable lattice parameters. Pyrochlore structure-based compounds have shown valuable interest in practical applications because of their structure tunability and stability. In this context, the stability of pyrochlore structure in a particular phase is quite essential for practical optimization of valuable dielectric, impedance and other multifunctional characteristics of rare-earth pyrochlores. This work contains a successful synthesis of pure phase pyrochlore based compounds including zirconates and niobates, with A and B-site substitution to determine their structural tunability and its effects on dielectric and other multifunctional properties. These rare-earth based pyrochlores not only show practically viable dielectric characteristics but also have significant ferroelectric and magnetic features. Most of the pyrochlores show disordered magnetic structure and have not been investigated properly yet. In this context, following detailed study of these thermally stable pyrochlores has been accomplished for their practical applications. A wet chemical sol-gel technique was utilized to synthesize pure phase pyrochlores. This method was found feasible, energy efficient and cost effective. Diffraction studies using X-rays revealed their stable pyrochlore structure with Fd ̅m space group. Structural tunability through A and B-site substitution was confirmed through Rietveld refinement. Perfect fitting and low residual factors from refinement prove the synthesis of pure phase pyrochlores. Calcination temperature of 1200 °C for 1 h was found to be the most favorable condition for the synthesis of these highly complex metal oxides. Field emission scanning electron microscopy operated in different operating modes at several voltages has confirmed the growth of nanoparticles with substitution, promoting the densification of the prepared ceramics. This densification led us to study the energy storage capability of these materials as they have already shown good ferroelectric properties. To check the variation in recoverable energy density of the material under consideration, the charge-discharge curves were plotted at different field strengths to study the recoverable energy density, energy loss density and energy storage efficiency as a function of applied field. Furthermore, magnetic properties of these pyrochlores were determined through vibrating sample magnetometer. Superparamagnetic effect was found in these pyrochlores with reasonably good magnetic susceptibility and small coercive fields. In addition, the variation in magnetic properties was also related to the particle size which showed that the maximum magnetization increases with decrease in particle size. Lastly, the magneto-dielectric study has been performed. The study of relative change in dielectric properties of the material with change in external magnetic field is called magneto-dielectric analysis. This analysis is actually the investigation of coupling between the magnetic properties of the material with its dielectric characteristics. Magneto-dielectric analysis exposed that dielectric behavior of the samples is influenced inversely with the application of external magnetic field. Negative behavior of magneto-dielectric coefficient can be understood on the basis of application of external magnetic field randomizes the electric dipoles present in the material which usually follow the external applied electric field. This study was also explained on the basis of Maxwell-Wagner‟s model.
