پروفیسر عبدالمعید خاں

پروفیسر عبدالمعید خاں
افسوس ہے گزشتہ ماہ کی ۲۵/تاریخ کوپروفیسر عبدالمعید خاں کابھی انتقال ہوگیا۔ مرحوم برصغیر کے اساتذہ ٔ عربی واسلامیات میں ایک نمایاں مقام رکھتے تھے۔ انھوں نے پہلے قاہرہ میں کئی برس مقیم رہ کر وہاں سے ڈی۔لٹ کی ڈگری لی اور پھر کیمبرج سے پی۔ایچ ڈی کیا۔اس کے بعد جامعہ عثمانیہ سے وابستہ ہوئے تو ایسے کہ ساری زندگی یہیں بیت دی۔ابھی دوتین برس ہوئے وہ صدر شعبۂ عربی کے عہدہ سے سبکدوش ہوئے تھے۔ ۳۵برس سے اسلامیات کے مشہور اوربلند پایہ سہ ماہی رسالہ’’اسلامک کلچر‘‘کے ایڈیٹر اوربارہ برس سے دائرۃ المعارف کے ناظم تھے۔ اس درمیان میں امریکہ اور یورپ کے جامعات میں وزیٹنگ پروفیسر کی حیثیت سے بھی کام کرتے رہے۔ بیرونی ممالک کے بعض سفروں میں راقم الحروف اوروہ دونوں ہم سفر تھے۔اخلاق وعادات کے اعتبار سے بہت سادہ اورمنکسر المزاج تھے۔ اگرچہ انھوں نے بہت کم لکھاہے اوراس کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ وہ شروع سے ہی خرابی صحت کاشکار تھے اوراسی سبب سے ڈاکٹروں کی ہدایت کے مطابق عمر بھرمجرد رہے، لیکن جوکچھ لکھاہے بہت سخت لکھاہے۔ عمر۶۶برس کے لگ بھگ ہوگی۔ عقیدہ اورعمل کے لحاظ سے پکے اورسچے مسلمان تھے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کو مغفرت کی نعمت سے سرفراز فرمائے۔

اسلامی نظام قضاء اور ثبو ت دعو ی کے احکام: تحقیقی جائزہ

The establishment and implementation of justice is the primary responsibility of the Islamic state. In every Islamic society, the establishment of the systems of justice and police become an obligation and a necessity for the betterment of society and for the solution of the problems faced. The present research deals with the issue of Islamic system of judiciary highlighting its various components in the light of Shari‘ah. Oath, Evidence, Witness and various technical terms used in the dissemination of Ajustice are explained with evidences from Qur’┐n and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W).  So this research concludes with the note that if the system of justice be strengthened; all the problems, in particular elimination of crimes can take place, and decisions can be given in the light of the laws and orders in the light of the Shari‘ah.

Effective Decission Making for the Presence of Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a disease, which disfigures and distorts human body, often effecting vital organs, resulting in morbidity and even mortality in severe cases. It is defined as rotations and lateral curvatures of an individual’s spinal column. Scoliosis can be classified into 3 types — infantile (0-3 years), juvenile (4-7 years) and idiopathic (8 years and above). The last one is most common. A two-minute-orthopedic examination of children, in the age group seven- to ten-years, may alert the health-care provider to early-warning signals, provided the examination is conducted by properly trained professionals and child is barefoot and completely undressed except short underpants. The major problem is either following up children, who are not at risk (wasting human resources) or missing up checks on those who are most prone to acquiring this condition (not directing human resources at the target population). In order to resolve this issue, a mathematical index, ‘Cumulative-Scoliosis-Risk Weightage (CSRW)’ is proposed and tested on a sample population of seven- to eight-year old children studying in a local school of Karachi. This index is computed on the basis of child’s age, history of spinal deformities in family, tallness/wasting in child, Adam’s forward-bending test, plumb-line not aligned, drooping of one shoulder, scapulae uneven, midline of back C or S shaped, body triangles not equal, one of the spinal dimples at a higher level as compared to the other and moiré picture asymmetric about the sagittal plane. A high CSRW warranted differential-spinalfunction- testing before sending the child for X rays. Effective methods are the need of hour to reduce or even rule out un-required X rays, since they may be harmful to the delicate bone marrow of growing population. Differential-spinal-function testing consists of four tests — visual examinations in the standing and the sitting positions as well as forward bending tests in the standing and the sitting positions. The study was conducted (after approval from the Ethics Committee of University of Karachi) on 81 school children (28 boys; 53 girls), who were followed up for three years. Threshold values of CSRW were determined for deciding about the at-risk cases. A CSRW of 5.5 after the first check up, 6.5 after the second check up and 7.5 after the third check up, respectively, called for including the child in list of those, who should be followed up till the end of their growth periods. Results of this study indicated that girls were twice at risk for acquiring scoliosis as compared to boys.
