شعیب قریشی
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ مہینہ متحدہ ہندوستان کی ایک اہم شخصیت شعیب قریشی صاحب نے کراچی میں انتقال کیا وہ ہندوستان کے ممتاز رہنماؤں میں تھے، ان کی عمر کا بڑا حصہ ملک و ملت کی خدمت میں گزرا ان کی قومی زندگی کا آغاز مشہور انگریزی اخبار ’’نیوایرا‘‘ کی مضمون نگاری سے ہوا تھا، جس کے وہ بعد میں ایڈیٹر بھی ہوگئے تھے، پھر ۱۹۱۴ء میں جنگ بلقان کے زمانہ میں مشہور انصاری مشن کے ساتھ ٹرکی گئے، ۱۹۲۰ء میں جب وفد خلافت لندن گیا تھا تو وہ وہاں زیر تعلیم تھے، اس لیے وفد کی کاروایوں میں عملی حصہ لیا، اسی زمانہ میں خلافت اورکانگریس کی تحریکیں شروع ہوئیں۔ لندن کی واپسی کے بعد ان میں سرگرمی سے حصہ لیا، ایک عرصہ تک خلافت کمیٹی کے سکریٹری بھی رہے، اور کچھ دونوں گاندھی جی کی غیر حاضری میں ان کے اخبار ’’ینگ انڈیا‘‘ کے بھی ایڈیٹر رہے، حجاز پر سلطان عبدالعزیز آل سعود کے قبضہ کے بعد وہاں کے حالات کی تحقیقات اور اس کے آئندہ نظام حکومت کے بارے میں مشورہ دینے کے لیئے خلافت کمیٹی کی جانب سے جو وفد گیا تھا اس کے ایک رکن شعیب قریشی بھی تھے، پھر نہرو کمیٹی میں مسلمانوں کی نمائندگی کی، مگر اس کی رپورٹ سے انھوں نے اختلافات کیا اور سیاسی زندگی سے کنارہ کش ہوکر ریاست بھوپال میں وزیر تعلیم ہوگئے، اپنے دورِ وزارت میں انھوں نے بہت سے مفید تعلیمی اور مذہبی کام انجام دیئے، ریاست بھوپال کے خاتمہ کے بعد پاکستان چلے گئے، اور مختلف اوقات میں مرکزی حکومت کی وزارت اور سفارت کے عہدوں پر ممتاز رہے، علمی قابلیت اور سیاسی بصیرت کے ساتھ اخلاقی حیثیت سے بھی بہت بلند اور پختہ کیرکٹر کے انسان تھے، ادھر چند سال سے انکا ذکر سننے میں نہیں آتا تھا، ایک دن...
AbstractABSTRACT: Right to Life is considered as one of the primordial Human Rights. The importance of right to life can be judged simply on this basis that there are diversified views ofthe leaders of the world regarding almost every issue about human Rights concern. However, they agree in principle that the individuals (lives) irrespective of their race, color, language and nationality, should be saved andprotected and they should be honored and respected. Even a cursory glance at the contents of the Islamic ideology indicates that the Qura'n and the Sunna'h have dealt in depth with nearly every aspect of human rights and in particular the right to life. The present study investigates different aspects and dimensions of ‘Right to life’ in the light of Islam, along with its comparison with law and western approaches to it.
Cotton is an important commercial crop of global importance. Cotton is known as the backbone of Pakistan’s economy. Cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuVD) is a serious threat to the successful cotton production and is transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius under field conditions. A disease and vector predictive model based on 5 years epidemiological factors was developed and validated based on 2 years epidemiological factors for the prediction of CLCuVD and its vector. Y= 145+ 4.47x 1 -0.151x 2 -0.490x 3 -1.83x 4 +1.58x 5 -4.84x 6 R 2 = 0.79 (Five years data) Y= 145+ 2.78x 1 - 0.998 x 2 -0.400 x 3 -1.02 x 4 +3.85 x 5 -2.25 x 6 R 2 = 0.75 (Two years data) Where y = CLCuVD, x 1 = Minimum temperature, x 2 = Rainfall, x 3 = Relative humidity, x 4 = Wind velocity, x 5 = Whitefly, x 6 = Maximum temperature. Y= 57.0 - 0.370x 1 - 0.0853x 2 -0.297x 3 +0.813x 4 -0.565x 5 R 2 = 0.64 (Five years data) Y= 27.5-0.726x 1 -0.511x 2 -0.122x 3 -0.177x 4 +0.639 x 5 R 2 = 0.58 (Two years data) Where y = Whitefly, x 1 = Maximum temperature, x 2 = Minimum temperature, x 3 = Relative humidity, x 4 = Rainfall, x 5 = Wind velocity. A significant (P<0.05) but negative correlation was observed between maximum temperature and CLCuVD. The value of the coefficient of correlation was observed in the following order: 2006 (r=0.80*) < 2004 (r=0.79*) < 2005 (r=0.76*) <2002 (r=0.61*) and < 2003 (r=0.60*). Except 2006, the relationship of CLCuVD with rainfall was found non- significant during the subsequent years (r < 0.47). Wind velocity was found non- significant but negatively correlated with CLCuVD. Whitefly had significant and positive correlation with CLCuVD during all the five years. The relative humidity contributed significantly in the build up of whitefly population during 2005 only (r=0.60). During rest of the years relative humidity did play a prominent role in the spread of this vector as was evident from the value of correlation coefficient 0.34 ≤ r ≤ 0.47. The wind velocity did not contributed as effectively as compared to other variables. None of the screened varieties/advanced lines was found to be immune against cotton leaf curl virus disease and varied greatly in response to disease incidence during both the years (2007-08). Only three varieties/advanced lines (NIBGE-2, PB-899, NIAB- 884) were found to be highly resistant against CLCuVD. Eight cultivars (BH-162, NIAB- 824, CIM-496, MJ-7, CIM- 446, CIM-473, VH-148, Alseemi hybrid) were found to be resistant. Six varieties/advanced lines (NIAB-111, PB- 897, FH-2925, CIM-438, CIM-497, FH-115) were found moderately resistant. Five cultivars (FH-900, CIM-707, CIM-506, FH-901, CIM-498,) were observed to be moderately susceptible and five varieties/advanced lines (PB-843, FH-1000, BH-163, CIM-482, CIM-443) exhibited susceptible response. Five varieties/advanced lines (CIM-534, FH-2000, FH-2006, MNH-732, S-12) were found to be highly susceptible against cotton leaf curl disease, respectively. All the treatments reduced whitefly population and CLCuVD incidence significantly compared to untreated control. Azadirachta indica (Neem) extract was the most active to manage the B. tabaci population. Salicylic acid was at number second and Eucalyptus globules (Sufaida) was at number third whereas Allium sativum (Garlic) and Calotropics procera (Ak, Akund) were at number four and fifth respectively in managing the B. tabaci and CLCuVD. Aloe babadensis (Aloe) and Datura stramonium (Datura) were found less effective compared to other treatments.
