نواب حمیداﷲ خاں

نواب حمیداﷲ خاں
گزشتہ مہینے نواب حمید اﷲ خاں مرحوم کے انتقال کی خبر اس وقت ملی جب شذرات کی کاپی جم چکی تھی، اس لیے معارف اس حادثہ پر اپنے تاثرات کا اظہار نہ کرسکا، نواب صاحب مرحوم اپنے اوصاف و خصوصیات میں دوسرے والیان ریاست سے بہت مختلف تھے، ان میں دین و دنیا کی بہت سی خوبیاں جمع تھی، فہم و فراست اور تدبیر و سیاست میں وہ ہندوستان کے ممتاز مدبروں میں تھے، اور ہر طبقہ میں بڑی، عزت و وقعت کی نظر سے دیکھے جاتے تھے، مذہبی اعتبار سے عملاً دیندار تھے، والیان ملک میں اس زمانہ میں وہ تنہا حافظ قرآن تھے، حج و زیارت کے شرف سے مشرف ہوئے تھے، ان کی تعلیم و تربیت عام شہزادوں کے برعکس بڑی سادگی سے ہوئی تھی اور انھوں نے بغیر کسی امتیاز کے علی گڑھ کالج میں عام طلبہ کی طرح تعلیم پائی تھی، جس کا اثر بعد میں ان کی زندگی پر رہا چنانچہ ان کے یہاں درباری آداب و تکلفات نہ تھے اور ہر شخص سے عام انسانوں کی طرح ملتے جلتے تھے۔
نواب صدیق حسن خاں مرحوم کے اثر سے ریاست بھوپال میں اس زمانہ میں بھی مذہب کے بڑے اثرات تھے جس سے دین و ملت کو بڑا فائدہ پہنچا مسلمانوں کا کوئی دینی و تعلیمی ادارہ اس ریاست کے فیض سے محروم نہ تھا، یہ وراثت نواب حمید اﷲ خاں کے حصہ میں بھی آئی تھی بلکہ ان کی صحیح تعلیم و تربیت نے ان خیالات میں اور زیادہ جلا پیدا کردی تھی، اور انھوں نے اپنے دور حکومت میں بہت سی اصلاحات کیں، وہ ایک عرصہ تک مسلم یونیورسٹی کے چانسلر بھی رہے تھے، دارالمصنفین بھی ریاست بھوپال کے ابرکرم کا ممنون تھا، بلکہ اس کا قیام ہی نواب سلطان جہاں بیگم مرحومہ کی فیاضی...

Revelation in Hinduism: A Muslim Reading

Hinduism has been viewed by Semitic religions as a religion devoid of revelation. Early, Medieval and modem Muslim and Christian writings have often portrayed Hinduism as pagan even satanic while Hindus for millennia have claimed to be divinely revealed. Is Hinduism really a revealed religion and if so, what kind of a revelation does it have? In what manner does the divine reveal himself and who are the recipients of this revelation? To what extent is this concept different from ours? Does the process of revelation continue or has it been discontinued? These are some of the more significant questions that this article shall engage with. It clarifies that Hindus have books which they consider revealed and look upon much as Muslims look upon their Qur’an. The most significant of these among a majority of the Hindus are called the Vedas, literally, knowledge. It goes on to introduce the Vedas with respect to their various parts and content, what Hindus largely believe about it and how they ensured its preservation and safe transmission to later generations through various intricate and elaborate memorization techniques. The article highlights the importance of rishl, the recipients of these revelations, their kinds, characteristics and role in the process of revelation. The article contends that there is much in common between Rishland Semitic prophets with respect to their characteristics but that the similarities do not end here. Rather there is much more common ground to be explored with respect to revelation and its contents and its conveyors than meets the eye.

Probing the Nutritive and Therapeutic Potential of Pakistani Sesame Cultivars for School Going Children

Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) has emerged a key health problem in Pakistan. It mostly affects the health of pregnant women and school going children. Almost 1/3 children are underweight, and rest are affected by stunting and wasting. Hence, there is a great need to explore use of locally grown traditional crops into modern food products for alleviating malnutrition among the masses. The present project was designed to develop protein enriched, and micro-nutrient fortified doughnuts from different Pakistani white (TH-6, TS- 5, TS-3, Til-89) and black (S-122, S-117, S-131, Latifi) sesame cultivars. The proximate and mineral composition of sesame flours of white and black cultivars revealed varying degree of moisture, protein, crude fat, crude fiber, ash and NFE. Regarding antioxidant potential and bioactive components, total phenolics, sesamin, sesamol and sesamolin were ranged from 1.56±0.025 to 7.32±0.219 mg GAE/g, 1521.00±27.30 to 3996.00±129.90 ppm, 3121.00±86.60 to 4303.00±133.37 ppm and 1532.33±31.89 to 3564.00±65.82ppm, respectively. Among the different cultivars, the maximum value of sesamin was observed in TH-6 whereas sesamol and sesamolin concentrations were higher in S-122. It is obvious from the results that sesamin and sesamol contents were higher in white sesame cultivars whereas sesamolin was more in black cultivars. Sensory evaluation of doughnuts revealed maximum liking for product made from TH-6 (8.02±0.24) due to better appearance, palatability, fine texture, chewiness, mouthfeel, and overall acceptability. Concerning various levels of supplementation, doughnuts having 10 g/100g (7.67±0.24) to 20 g/100g (7.43±0.18) of either white or black sesame flours were more suitable due to delicious nutty aroma & flavor of sesame, mild brownish appearance, uniform texture, nutty mouthfeel and overall impression of the end product. Based on consumer acceptability and betterquality attributes, TH-6 (white sesame cultivar) with two supplementation levels (10g/100g and 20g/100g of sesame flour) was selected for further development of doughnuts and assessed for nutritional contents, storage stability, calorific value, protein quality and feeding trial to see the effect of these products on nutritional and serum biochemical profile of school aged children. Biological evaluation of selected formulations showed the highest PER (0.86±0.17), NPU (2.81±0.25), true digestibility (64.51±0.84%), biological value (69.64±1.08%) and net protein utilization (61.32±0.96%) in rats fed with diet containing (20g/100g) sesame supplemented doughnuts. After biological evaluation, selected treatments of doughnuts alongwith control were served to school children to observe their effect on nutritional biomarkers and anthropometric measurements through the analysis of blood and urine. Maximum weight gain (1Kg) was detected in the children served with 20g/100g of sesame supplemented doughnuts. It is inferred from the current intervention, that the addition of sesame flour in snacks may improve the nutritional quality of these products and ultimately the consumers. Moreover, the consumption of doughnuts containing 10 to 20g/100 sesame flour may deliver 140% additional protein, as well as % daily values of Zn and Fe. Such products are ideal candidates for school nutrition programs especially in developing countries to reduce the severity of malnutrition.
