زاہدہؔ صدیقی

                زاہدہؔ صدیقی(۱۹۴۷ء پ) کا قلمی نام زاہدہؔ ہے۔ آپ برہان پور پسرور میں پیدا ہوئیں۔ آپ معروف شاعر حفیظ صدیقی کی حقیقی بہن ہیں۔ آپ کا ابتدائی کلام ماہنامہ ’’تحریریں‘‘ میں چھپتا رہا۔ آپ ’’تحریریں‘‘ کی مدیر بھی رہیں۔ زاہدہؔ کے دو اردو شعری مجموعے ’’جاگتی آنکھوں کے خواب ‘‘اور ’’دعاؤں کا سائبان‘‘ شائع ہو چکے ہیں۔ اردو کے علاوہ آپ کے دو پنجابی شعری مجموعے بھی طبع ہو چکے ہیں۔(۱۰۳۷)

                زاہدہ صدیقی نے اپنی شاعری میں اپنی ذات کو عالمِ نسوانی کے ایک فرد کی علامت کی صورت میں پیش کیا ہے۔ ان کی شاعری اس لحاظ سے بہت خوشگوار ہے کہ انھوں نے اپنی ذات کو اپنے لیے مجلس نہیں بنایا بلکہ اس کی فصیلیں گرادی ہیں۔ اور اپنی شاعری کے ذریعے نوجوان شعرا کو تازہ ہوا اور کھلی دھوپ سے فیض ہو نے کا درس دیا ہے۔ رجائیت ،رومانیت اور عشقِ حقیقی زاہدہؔ کی شاعری کی خصوصیات ہیں ۔ ا س حوالے سے کچھ اشعار ملاحظہ ہوں:

ایک احساس

صبحِ اُمید کی جس کرن کے لیے

ہم سے پہلے بھی کچھ لوگ

تاریک راہوں پہ چلتے رہے

آج ہم بھی

انھی تیرہ و تار راہوں پر چلتے ہوئے

سوچتے ہیں

کہ شاید

کسی روز اپنا مقدر بنے

صبح اُمید کی وہ کرن

جو ابھی تک

نگاہوں سے مستور ہے(۱۰۳۸)

جاگتی آنکھوں کا خواب

زندگی

اک جاگتی آنکھوں کا خواب

خواب جو دیکھا نہ پہچانا گیا

ایک ساعت

آدمی کو اس کے ہونے کا یقین

دوسری ساعت

بکھر جائے فضاؤں میں کہیں

اک دریدہ لباس آوازِ جرس

جیسے اس کی کوئی منزل ہی نہیں (۱۰۳۹)

ترا خیال اُتارے دل و نظر کا غبار

 

ہر اک بجھی ہوئی صورت نکھر بھی سکتی ہے

...

سودی نظام کے بعض اہم شبہات اور ان کا رد

This article is an attempt to judge various dubious concepts regarding usury (Riba) in order to legalize it in one way or another using some artful arguments inculcating into the minds as lawful sketch of usury providing its justifications and legality. Different dimensions have been explained analytically in the light of Islamic view point curtailing the misfit approaches after some essential discourse concerning Islamic injunctions about Usury. Some reasons and evidences have also been discussed against each doubt and suspicion denouncing what has been claimed unlawfully due to the role and impact of interest based economy about financial contract and Riba free economy, its various conditions regarding bank, currency, quantity, expediency, mutual willingness as well as applicable framework and paradigm

Relationship Between Gestational Diabetes and a Positive Depression Screen

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and its treatment have a marked effect on women’s lives consequently aggravating psychosocial disruptions of a normal pregnancy. The demand for behavioural adaptation as well as postulated biological interactions are likely to increase the risk of maternal depression in GDM patients. There is however inadequate literature concerning the relationship between GDM and depression. Objective: To compare the proportion of women with GDM who screen positive for depression and the proportion of women without GDM who screen positive for depression at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi. Socio-demographic factors associated with a positive depression screen were explored. Methods: This was a case control study, applying the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and a socio-demographic tool on two antenatal groups; women with GDM and women without GDM. The proportion of women with depression was determined as the percentage of pregnant women with domain and overall scores below the cut-off levels that is 13. The Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to test for statistically significant differences in the proportion of GDM and non GDM women who screened positive for depression. Secondary analysis was done using univariate and multivariate analysis to examine the relationship between gestational diabetes, mode of treatment, and selected socio-demographic characteristics and a positive depression screen. Results: A total of 315 pregnant participants were enlisted for the study (104 with GDM and 211 without GDM). The two study groups were comparable demographically except for maternal age, parity, BMI, ethnicity, mode of conception and alcohol intake (p <0.05). Thirty-five of 104 (33.7%) women with GDM had a positive depression screen compared to 13 of 211(6.2%) women without GDM (p <0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that GDM is associated with the occurrence of a positive depression screen (odds ratio 6.7, 95% confidence interval 3.3-13.6). However mode of treatment of GDM and other socio-demographic characteristics were not associated with a positive depression screen. Conclusion: Women with GDM are significantly more likely to screen positive for depression in pregnancy compared to women without GDM. Screening for depression as well as psycological support may be required in women diagnosed with GDM.
