خدمت خلق
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اساتذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب شاہینو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرناہے وہ ہے:’’خدمت خلق‘‘
صاحب صدر!
خدمت خلق ایک ایسا جذبہ ہے جس سے معاشرہ میں اخوت، ہمدردی اور بھائی چارہ کار جحان پروان چڑھتا ہے، مرجھائے ہوئے چہرے کھل اُٹھتے ہیں ، افسردہ دلوں میں خوشی و مسرت کی لہر دوڑ جاتی ہے۔
صدرِذی وقار!
خدمتِ خلق کا جذبہ رکھنے والا شخص کبھی حالات کے تھپیڑوں سے گھبراتا نہیں، جملہ امور کی انجام دہی سے سر خرو ہوتا ہے، پژمردہ دلوں کی ہمدردیاں اس کے ساتھ ہوتی ہیں اور یوں وہ ہر میدان میں کامیابی و کامرانی کے گھوڑے دوڑاتا ہوا آگے بڑھتا جا تا ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
خدمتِ خلق حقوق العباد میں سے ہے، اور حقوق العباد کی ادائیگی اسلامی عبادات کا ایک اہم جزو ہے، حقوق اللہ کی معافی کا امکان بہرحال موجود ہے لیکن حقوق العباد کی ادائیگی کے بارے میں باز پرس ہوگی۔
صاحبِ صدر!
خدمتِ خلق کے لیے انفاق فی سبیل اللہ کی عظیم صفت سے متصف ہونا انتہائی ناگزیر ہے، مال خرچ کرنے سے عوام النّاس کے قلوب میں مخیر حضرات کی عزت میں اضافہ ہوتا ہے اور یوں محبت کی فضاء پروان چڑھتی رہتی ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
خدمتِ خلق کے مختلف انداز ہوتے ہیں ، والدین کی خدمت، اساتذہ کی خدمت ، ضعیف حضرات کی خدمت، کمزوروں اور ناداروں کی خدمت، بے کسوں اور کسمپرسوں کی خدمت، اصدقا و اقربا کی خدمت، ہمسائیوں اور عزیزوں کی خدمت، یہ سب خدمت خلق سے ہی ہے۔
لیکن جنابِ صدر!
وہ لوگ قسمت کے سکندر ہیں ، مقدر کے دھنی ہیں جوطلباء کی خدمت کرتے ہیں، تو ان کے علمی میدان میں...
The research paper deals with role of plants in human health and healthy environment in the context of Qur'anic verses and science. The concept of growing plants for health rather than for food or fiber is slowly changing plant biotechnology and medicine. Rediscovery of the connection between plants and health is responsible for launching a new generation of botanical therapeutics that include plant-derived pharmaceuticals, multi component botanical drugs, dietary supplements, functional foods and plant-produced recombinant proteins. Many of these products will soon complement conventional pharmaceuticals in the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of diseases, while at the same time adding value to agriculture. Holy Quran describes the importance of rain as pure water to irrigate dead soil and emergence of life (plant’s growth) from the dead soil. Plants provide foods for human beings and are necessary for healthy environment. Man is an omnivore who gets his food from both plant and animal sources. However, for immediate energy, humans rely more on plant starches and soluble sugars, including glucose and edible sugar. Generally, our normal diet consists of rice or wheat bread which is a very important source of starch. Sugar and fats are the two most important components of food managed by plants. Apart from this, the man manages vegetables and salads from plants which are the guarantors of his health/survival in modern times. There are many reasons for diversity in plants. The obvious reason is the chemistry of that particular piece of land, what kind of minerals/salts and other nutrients that land has and what types of plants can grow there in their presence. In this research written with a descriptive and analytical approach, it is proved that according to Quran and science plants have a great role in human health and healthy environment.
The research work was done to evaluate suitability of guar gum (CGG, PGG, AHGG, BHGG and EHGG) utilization as prebiotic on probiotic (BB) behavior in yogurt. CGG was purified (ethanol, 95:5v/v) and hydrolyzed using HCl, [Ba(OH)2] and mannanase enzyme. SEM characterization exhibited rough surface morphology in CGG, PGG and BHGG, powdery and fluffy appearance in AHGG and well defined porous structure in EHGG. The consequences of XRD displayed amorphous structure and less crystallinity in CGG, PGG and AHGG while EHGG slightly increased in crystallinity but lower than BHGG. FTIR analysis revealed no major transformation of functional groups after hydrolysis of guar gum. TGA evaluation of hydrolyzed guar gums indicated more heat stability than the crude ones. Rheological studies revealed shear thinning non-Newtonian behavior at high shear rate and Newtonian flow at low shear rate [high viscosity CGG (1.34 Pa.s); low viscosity AHGG (0.15 Pa.s), EHGG (0.22 Pa.s)] while, in oscillatory inferences (viscous modulus, Gʺ; elastic modulus, Gʹ), guar gums exhibited typical characteristics of weak viscoelastic gel. The small intestine model (SIM) evaluation exposed non-significant difference in physiological behavior of guar gums in reducing the glucose level. Haemolysis study showed non-toxic effect (haemolysis, 1.9±0.03% to 7.24±0.02%) of guar gums to human RBC’s. Guar gum treatments were evaluated for their prebiotic and probiotic endurance on yogurt quality attributes. Periodic physico-chemical, sensory characteristics and bacterial viability of the functional yogurt (Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum + 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0% of AHGG and EHGG) at 4-6°C revealed significant syneresis reduction, increase in WHC and viscosity exhibiting higher sensory acceptability of prebiotic and probiotic endurance. Cryo-scanning electron microscopy proved well embedded continuous casein network imparted by AHGG and EHGG granules. In the whole, acidity and syneresis increased but pH, viscosity, WHC, bacterial viability and consumer’s acceptability decreased with passage of time. The presence of guar gum as prebiotic also caused a significant effect on organic acids contents in yogurt due to metabolic activities of probiotic. The data obtained was analyzed using two-factor factorial design under CRD in Statistix 8.1 software.
