44. Ad-Dukhan/The Smoky Haze
I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah
The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.
44:01
a. Ha. Mim.
44:02
a. By the Book of Divine Qur’an - clear in itself and clearly guiding to the truth.
44:03
a. WE sent it down during a night full of blessings.
b. Because with it WE had planned to warn people.
44:04
a. On that night every matter of wisdom was made distinct -
44:05
a. – by OUR Command.
b. Indeed, WE had decided to send OUR Messengers to these people for guidance -
44:06
a. - as a Mercy from your Rabb - The Lord to humankind.
b. Indeed, HE - HE is The All-Listening of their sayings, The All-Knowing of their actions.
44:07
a. Rabb - The Lord of the celestial realm and the terrestrial world and whatever is between them,
b. only if you were firm believers.

44:10
a. Then be on the watch for the Time – The Last Hour - when the sky will exhale visible smoky haze -

b. ‘This is an awful punishment!’
44:12

This research is about the effect of text meaning on the constitutional rule that related to the Islamic Sharia principles. The Islamic Sharia principles are the source of legislation in the Arab constitutions. It will also look in the impact of this constitutional rule on organizing the principle of equality among citizens in various fields; equality in front of the law and judicature, and equality in rights and freedoms. In particular, this research highlights how the impact of text on the constitutional rule affects on organizing the equality between Muslim and non-Muslim citizens, also between men and women of Muslim citizens. Thus, this research has been split into four topics that addressed respectively as follows: First, what is Islamic Sharia and Legislation in Islamic Fiqh (doctrine). Second, the semantics of multiple formulations of the Islamic Sharia principle as a source of legislation in the constitution. Third, the principle of equality in both, the Islamic Sharia and the positive law. Finally, the impact of the text on the Islamic Sharia principle of Arab constitutions in organizing the equality principle among citizens. The research concluded with set of results that can be summarized as follows: Every formula that has been used in the constitutional rule of the Islamic Sharia principle in the Arabic countries has a different semantics and results that lead to different obligations in the way of organizing the equality principle in the legislative bodies either in constitution's document or in ordinary laws. Also, the research concluded that the Islamic Sharia as a public principle doesn't conflict with the positive law in recognizing the equality principle among citizens in different fields, but the conflict is in the understanding and application of some fields of equality among citizens in different religions and genders. The researcher came with set of recommendations including clarifying wording of the text that related to the Islamic Sharia principle in the Arab constitution rules. These clarifications should prevent any other interpretations. In addition, the researcher suggested to adopt this formula: the original principles of Islamic Sharia is the main source of legislation. Also, formulations of equality principle among citizens in all its manifestations in the constitutions must be consistent with the original Islamic Sharia principle. Also, all the texts that related to the equality among citizens, and between men and women should included the sentence "with no conflict with the original Islamic Sharia principles".
S. pyogenes or Group A streptococci (GAS) is a notorious and significant human pathogen. S. pyogenes infections broadly range from superficial skin infections, and noninvasive infections (pharyngitis, scarlet fever) to life threatening invasive infections like streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) and necrotizing fasciitis (NF). Such infections are often followed by post-streptococcal sequelae, including rheumatic heart disease and acute glomerulonephritis. Among other beta hemolytic streptococcal groups, group D streptococci (GDS) are the frequent cause of hospital-acquired urinary tract infections and bacteremia. S. agalactiae or GBS is a leading cause of infections among pregnant women and neonates, whereas Group C and G streptococci are recognized as the emerging pathogens. S. pyogenes possess a number of cell associated (M protein, F protein, hyaluronic acid, lipoteichoic acid) and secreted virulence factors including streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins (Spe), Streptolysin S and O, C5a peptidase, DNase and streptococcal inhibitor of complement responsible for the variety of infections. Particularly, M protein and Spe, exhibiting superantigenic activity (SAg) are considered as the major virulence factors of S. pyogenes. M protein, encoded by emm gene serves an important surveillance tool to monitor GAS diversity, epidemiology, disease patterns, dynamics of transmission and formulation of indigenous vaccine. SAgs are low molecular weight, highly potent extracellular products, usually associated with severity of infections. However, to our knowledge no data is available from Pakistan regarding the prevalent emm types and SAgs genes distribution. Therefore, this study was designed to monitor the prevalence and epidemiology of β-hemolytic streptococci, antibiotic resistance pattern, molecular mechanism of drug resistance, emm genotypes and superantigens profile in Pakistan. Hence this would be the first comprehensive report about GAS epidemiology, chemotherapy and pathogenesis from Pakistan. This study would further help us in understanding the possible links among invasive and noninvasive streptococcal diseases with emm types and superantigens.
