مولانا ابوالاعلیٰ مودودی

مولانا ابوالاعلیٰ مودودی
۲۲؍ ستمبر ۱۹۷۹؁ء کو مولانا ابوالاعلیٰ مودودی کی وفات سے یہ برصغیر ہی نہیں بلکہ پوری اسلامی دنیا بھی ایک ممتاز متکلم، ایک مضطرب مفکر، ایک دیدہ ور مفسر، ایک بے چین شارح دین، ایک قابل قدر ترجمان شریعت اور ایک بلند پایہ مصنف سے محروم ہوگئی۔
انھوں نے ۷۷ برس کی عمر پائی، ان گنت کتابوں کے مصنف ہوئے شروع میں ان کی تحریریں نکلیں تو جدید تعلیم یافتہ طبقہ کو محسوس ہونے لگا کہ ان میں وہ ساری باتیں ہیں جن کی تلاش ان کے ذہن کو ہے، جب وہ مغربی افکار کے ابلیس کی تلبیس سے دب کر اپنے تذبذب اور تشکیک کی بناء پر اسلام کو جامد اور غیر متحرک پارہا تھا تو اس کو مولانا مودودی کی تحریروں کے ذریعہ سے یہ احساس ہوا کہ کوئی اس کے تاریک اور منجمد ذہن پر ہلہ بول کر اس کو جھنجھوڑ رہا ہے، مولانا مودودی کی تحریروں میں شگفتگی بھی ہوتی، دلنشینی بھی، حرارت ایمانی کی گرمی بھی، نظر و فکر کی گرم جوشی بھی، منطقی دلائل کے یقین کی پختگی بھی، عالمانہ انداز میں کلام پاک اور حدیث کی جاندار تعبیر بھی، اسلام کے ناقدوں اور خصوصاً فرنگی معترضوں کے خلاف جارحانہ حملے بھی اور یورپی طرز فکر کی جرأت مندانہ تحدی بھی، اس لئے وہ شوق سے پڑھی گئیں، ان کا علم ایک بحرخار تھا، جس سے انھوں نے بقول استاذی المحترم مولانا سید سلیمان ندوی، ’’یورپ کے ملحدانہ افکار‘‘ کے خلاف ایک بند باندھنے کی کوشش کی اس میں ان کے قلم کی بے مثال قوت ان کا پورا ساتھ دیتی رہی۔
رفتہ رفتہ وہ ایک خاص مکتب فکر اور تحریک کے بانی قرار پائے جس سے صالح قیادت کے ذریعہ وہ مسلمانوں کی معاشرتی اور سیاسی زندگی میں طاقتور دینی روح دینی اخلاص اور دینی قدریں پیدا...

Intelligence System of Holy Prophet (PBUH) an Important Military Tool

In the modern warfare, intelligence plays a pivotal role, and is, therefore, considered an essential part of defense strategy in all countries. In the Islamic defense system, intelligence has been an important tool right from the days of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). This paper aims at explaining the importance of intelligence for the defense of an Islamic State according to the teachings of Islam.  The word intelligence in this paper has been used in the military sense. The scope of this paper is limited to the Holy Quran, Hadith and prominent events of the Hijrah, battles of Badr, Uhud, Trench and consequent of Makkah. Intelligence is considered the most important tool of war in modern times. No army can fight without it.  Getting information about enemy’s plans, assets and movement (ops intelligence) and safeguarding own information; morale and loyalty of the troops (counter intelligence) are its two main aspects.  An overview of the Holy Quran, Hadith and life of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) reveals that both there aspects of intelligence have been given due importance in Islam.

Influence of Indigenous Cultures and Ripening Temperatures on Cheddar Cheese Quality

Cheddar cheese cultures were isolated and purified from indigenous sources using various microbiological techniques and characterized on basis of sugar fermentation, biochemical and enzyme activity tests, growth at various temperatures, pH and NaCl concentrations and using API identification kits. Raw milk and sour cream were found the most suitable indigenous sources for isolation and purification of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis and Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris. The later was differentiated from the former by no acid production from maltose, ribose, mannitol, arabinose, inositol, trehlose, negative arginine hydrolysis test, no growth either in 4% w/v NaCl or at 40°C and pH 9.2. Commercially available and locally isolated strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris and Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis were propagated in combination of 95:5 to prepare the mother cultures. These mother cultures were employed in standardized buffalo and cow’s milks to manufacture Cheddar cheese and ripened at 4°C and 12°C for 120 days. During ripening, cheese was evaluated for physico-chemical composition and sensory quality. Buffalo milk cheese contained significantly higher fat, protein, ash, lactose, sodium, calcium, potassium and organic acids contents; particularly lactic, citric and butyric acid contents as compared to cow. Cheddar cheese prepared from indigenous cultures had significantly lower lactose and pH and higher acidity than commercial cultures. The concentrations of all the organic acids produced by indigenous cultures were distinctly higher than commercial cultures. During ripening, lactose and pH decreased while acidity increased significantly. The concentrations of all the organic acids increased highly significantly during ripening and elevated temperature considerably accelerated the production of all organic acids except pyruvic acid. Starter cultures and ripening temperatures substantially influenced the aldehydes, ketones and alcohols, while milk composition considerably affected the alcoholic and sulphur compounds. Descriptive sensory evaluation indicated that cheese samples prepared from buffalo milk using indigenous cultures were scored significantly higher for most of the attributes. Elevated temperature perceptibly accelerated the development of odor, flavor and texture characteristics during ripening. Hence, it is concluded that indigenous starter cultures and buffalo milk produced the cheese with improved quality and elevated temperature accelerates the process of ripening.
