دریائے کون ومکا میں!
زیتون کے تبسم کی پتیاں گراتے ہوئے
دست جنوں سے محل کے روبرو چراغ جلاتے ہوئے
اسیران وفا دل کے درواے پر دستک دے رہے تھے
ثبوت جذبات میں انگلیاں کٹ رہی تھیں
آنکھوں سے صحیفے بہہ رہے تھے
سبز لباس پہن کر۔۔۔!
محبت سنگلاخ دیواروں سے نکل رہی تھی
راہوں میں ایک گلاب بکھرتے ہوئے!
ھذا محبتً طریقتم۔۔۔و اَنا من الحقیقتم کہے جا رہا تھا
کشش قاف کی وسعتوں میں!
اک مجذوب دشتِ بیاباں کی خاک کو۔۔۔خاک شفاء کیے جا رہا تھا

سوشل میڈیا کا استعمال اخلاقیات اور شریعت کے نکتہ نظر سے: ایک تفصیلی جائزہ

Throughout the history humanity has witnessed many ups and downs. There might have been many eras of moral lawlessness in which humanity might have suffered from lack of moral character, civilization, lack of social norms and values and many such things. But in the present era social media has emerged as a very sharp sword which has destroyed social values, norms and morality. It has proven destructive to a unprecedented level. Sometimes people share news about a person without conformation and on other times people destroy human shapes and give them resemblance with animal shapes and then share them on social media by way of comparison between human and animals. Insulting political opponents, playing with honor and dignity of others, humiliating others have become a game to play for people on social media. Many users of the social media think that there is no respect for others at all so they don’t hesitate from humiliating people. For them the only act worth doing is to protect the so called respect of the leader they follow and love. They are ready to cross any limit for this.  While doing all this they forget anything and everything about civility, morality, and social values etc. Someone has quite rightly said that good character is proof of good blood. While using social media one is in fact representing one’s family and blood. According to statistics 58% of the whole population of our country consists of young people the majority of which is so much attached and engrossed with the use of social media that they are oblivious of what is going around them. The spell of social media has bound people in the galleries of hospitals, pathways, passengers, and in educational institutes. So much so that even in homes, social media has preoccupied people to an extent that they damn care for the people living in the same home with them. There is value for a friend on social media but there is no value for a person sitting very next to them. A young man is busy and engaged with a so called sister on social media but his real sister is seen tantalized for his care and affection. In the university students miss out lectures of teacher but want to learn things from google and social media. This is the dilemma of the current age. The use of social media has taken people far away from the people sitting and living very close to them. Now the young generation has options i.e. Positive or negative use of social media. Your face book account, your profile is reflective of your personality. Any visitor, while visiting your profile and account will have your whole personality open up to him. Difference of opinion is permitted and appreciable thing but it should be done within limits. The current research paper is an attempt to cover up all these things and to see the Islamic teachings about the use of social media. How to open an account on social media, how to share pictures on it either self or that of others, sending friend requests and accepting them? These and other related issues will be discussed in the present paper in the light of Islam.

Cotton Gossypium Hirsutum L. Yield and Quality under Different Inputs and Crop Establishment Techniques in a Wheat-Cotton System

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) – cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) system is a major production system in Pakistan, however, cotton yield and quality is declining in the system most likely due to weeds infestation, nutrient stress, population densities (either too low or too high) and intensive tillage practices. Conservation tillage system has been introduced to avoid late sowing of wheat and to reduce the land preparation cost in wheat-cotton system. Conservation tillage such as reduced and zero tillage in combination with appropriate herbicide, optimum N and intra-row spacing may have the potential to enhance cotton yield and quality on sustainable basis. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of post-emergence herbicides, nitrogen rates and intra-row spacing under different tillage systems on cotton yield and quality in wheat-cotton system. Three field experiments were conducted at Cotton Research Station, Ratta Kulachi, Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan, during 2010 and 2011. In experiment 1, post-emergence herbicides, i.e. haloxyfop-R-methyl 10.8 EC (108 g a.i. ha-1), lactofen 24 EC (168 g a.i. ha-1), haloxyfop 10.8 EC + lactofen 24 EC, hand weeding, weedy check and three tillage systems [zero tillage (ZT), reduced tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT)] were studied. In experiment II, five nitrogen levels (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 kg N ha-1) and three tillage systems (as in experiment I) while in experiment III, four intra-row spacing (15, 22.5, 30, 37.5cm) and three tillage systems (as in experiment I) were evaluated in randomized compete block design (RCBD), with split plot arrangements, replicated 4 times. Tillage was allotted to main plots in all the experiments while herbicides, N rates and intra-row spacing were applied to subplots in experiment I, II and III, respectively. Mean of the two years data revealed that broad spectrum herbicides (Haloxyfop + Lactofen) and hand weeding reduced weed density by 78 and 93 %, respectively, compared to all other weed control treatments. Interaction effects revealed that RT in combination with broad spectrum herbicides had maximum weeds reduction percentage (95%). RT with broadspectrum herbicides had higher plant height, more bolls plant-1, boll weight, ginning out turn, seed cotton yield, fiber length, fiber strength and fiber fineness compared to ZT and CT. It is concluded that broad-spectrum herbicides under RT produced higher cotton yield and fiber quality in wheat based cropping system on silty clay soil of D.I.Khan. In experiment II, nitrogen (N) and tillage interaction is of great economic importance to improve crop yield and N use efficiency. Nitrogen rates had significant differences for yield components and seed cotton yield. Nitrogen rate of 150–200 kg N ha-1 produced highest seed cotton yield due to more bolls plant-1 and greater boll weight. The lower N rate (50-100 kg ha-1) produced the optimum nitrogen agronomic efficiency (NAE, 3.5-4.0 kg kg-1), nitrogen physiological efficiency (NPE, 11-12 kg kg-1), and nitrogen recovery efficiency (NRE, 32-33 %) than higher N rate (150-200 kg ha-1). Tillage × nitrogen interactions revealed that RT had greater bolls plant-1, boll weight, GOT, fiber length, and strength at 150–200 kg N ha-1 compared to other tillage system. The micronaire revealed no difference among tillage systems in fiber fineness. Using 150–200 kg N ha–1 in conservation tillage may be a sustainable approach to enhance cotton yield (3549 kg ha-1) and quality. In experiment III, intra-row spacings significantly affected yield, yield components and quality in both years. The highest seed cotton yield was obtained from 22.5 cm intra-row spacing. Interaction effects revealed that RT × 22.5 cm intra-row spacing produced optimum seed cotton yield. The ginning out turn and fiber strength was higher in RT × 22.5 cm intra-row, except fiber length. In conclusion, RT at 22.5 cm plant to plant spacing produced maximum seed cotton yield (4060 kg ha-1). The overall results suggest that using broad-spectrum herbicides along with reduced tillage, 150–200 kg N ha–1 at a row swpacing of 22.5 cm constitutes a near-optimal system of cotton management in the wheat-cotton system of Dera Ismail Khan.
