(مولانا عبدالسلام ندوی)

            ۷؍ نومبر ۱۹۱۸؁ء کو علی گڑھ کالج کے ایک نوجوان فرزند کا داغ مفارقت بھی ہمیں اٹھانا پڑا یعنی ڈاکٹر عبدالرحمن بجنوری نے بھوپال میں انتقال کیا، مرحوم نہایت علم دوست شخص تھے حال ہی میں جب ہم بھوپال گئے تھے ان سے ملاقات ہوئی تھی، اور انھوں نے شعرالہند کے متعلق ہمیں مفید مشورے دیئے تھے۔ (نومبر ۱۹۱۸ء)

Critical Study of Moral Teachings of Islam and Buddhism for Promotion of Global Peace

All ancient and contemporary religions of the world like Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Jainism and Islam emphasizes and attempts to uphold the highest moral and ethical values in human society in order to produce discipline and good will. Some of the religions strictly command for proper observance and submission to the laws and cannons", whereas the other religions do not stipulate strict allegiance to its principals, yet they nourish and treat human emotions and direct them for the general good of the society. On the whole, all religions aim at moral and ethical uplift of human beings, to install positivity in them and imbues the spirit of sacrifice, equality, affection, brotherhood and justice in mankind. Thus, these all facts testify that all religions, with some differences of pattern, propagate the message of love, Peace, equality, brotherhood, justice, Harmony and equity in the material age and greed-ridden epoch where individual profits and benefit overwhelm collective cause and general welfare of mankind. What we have done here in this paper is not to establish that one religion is better than the other but to demonstrate that almost all world religions stand for love, peace and harmony. There is no doubt, that all religions preach and advocate positive harmony among human beings but the message of Holy Prophet (SAW) is the only example who gave practical aspect of these theories. However, this paper elaborates this reality by a detailed comparison of Islam and Buddhism.

Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Selected Plants of Pothohar Plateau

Pothohar plateau has specific agro climatic and geographical environment which might affect the antioxidant and antimicrobial attributes of native plants. In the present study, three medicinal plants (Asphodilus tenifolius, Aerva javanica and Fagonia indica) were collected from Pothohar plateau on the basis of ethno-botanical uses. Different solvent (absolute and aqueous ethanol, absolute and aqueous methanol and absolute and aqueous acetone) extracts of all the plants obtained through different extraction techniques (Stirring, orbital shaking, sonication and reflux) were evaluated for their antioxidant activities (by 2, 2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl and superoxide radical scavenging assays, reducing power and ß-carotene linoleic acid system), antimicrobial activities (by Disc diffusion and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration assays) and phytochemical studies (total phenolic and flavonoid contents). All the plant extracts exhibited good antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Aqueous solvent extracts showed better activities as compared to pure solvent extracts. Out of four extraction techniques, extracts obtained from sonication exhibited better activities and phytochemical constituents. In case of Asphodilus tenifolius aqueous ethanol while for Aerva javanica and Fagonia indica aqueous methanol proved to be best solvent for the extraction of bioactive compounds. High Performance Liquid Chromatography analysis also revealed the presence of phenolic acids in these plant extracts. The variation in yield, phytochemical constituents and biological activities of most of the plant extracts, with respect to solvent systems and plant species were statistically significant.
