مولانا مفتی محمد شفیع
ابھی پاکستان ریڈیو سے یہ خبر وحشت اثرمعلوم کرکے سخت صدمہ اور رنج ہوا کہ مولانا مفتی محمد شفیع صاحب کا قلب کی حرکت کے بند ہوجانے سے انتقال پُرملال ہوگیا۔ دارالعلوم دیوبند کے جو حضرات ِاساتذہ راقم الحروف کے بھی اساتذہ تھے، حضرت مفتی صاحب اُن کی آخری یادگار تھے، اب وہ بھی نہیں رہے۔ اِنَّالِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّا اِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُوْن۔
داغِ فراق صحبتِ شب کی جَلی ہوئی
اک شمع رہ گئی تھی سو وہ بھی خموش ہے
دیوبند میں دو خاندان علم وفضل اوردینی خدمات وفیوض کے اعتبارسے بہت نمایاں ہیں، ایک عثمانی اوردوسرا صدیقی۔ مفتی صاحب مرحوم اول الذکر خاندان کے گل سر سبد تھے۔ مولانا محمد یٰسین صاحب جودارالعلوم دیوبند میں درجۂ فارسی کے صدر المدرسین اور نہایت باکمال استاذ تھے، وہ آپ کے والدِ ماجد تھے۔ ۱۳۱۳ھ میں پیدا ہوئے، از اول تاآخر پوری تعلیم دارالعلوم میں پائی، ۱۳۳۵ھ میں فراغت پائی۔اس زمانہ میں دارالعلوم کاآفتاب جہاں تاب نقطۂ عروج پر تھا، اس بناء پر مفتی صاحب کواکابر علماء ومشائخ دیوبند سے استفادہ کا بہترین موقع ملا۔کہتے ہیں چراغ سے چراغ روشن ہوتا ہے، لیکن جہاں علم و عمل کے چند در چند شمع ہاے روشن مصروف انجمن آرائی ہوں تواُن کی فیض رسانی کا عالم کیا ہوگا! ذہانت، ذوق، علم وجستجو اورمحنت وکاوش کاملکہ خداداد تھا اس لیے مفتی صاحب جب فارغ ہوئے تودارالعلوم کے قابلِ فخر فرزند تھے۔ فراغت کے بعد حضرت مولانا مفتی ۔۔؟ الرحمن صاحب عثمانیؒ کی نگرانی اورتربیت کے زیرِ سایہ دارالافتاء میں ؟کام کیا اور درس وتدریس کی خدمت بھی انجام دی، یہاں تک کہ دونوں شعبوں میں ؟نام پیدا کیا، اوراب خود اکابرِ دیوبند میں اُن کا شمار ہونے لگا۔ اگرچہ تمام علوم وفنون متداولہ میں پختہ اور ٹھوس استعداد کے مالک تھے ،لیکن خاص فن فقہ تھا اور اس مناسبت سے تفقہ...
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) affects the cardiorespiratory systems by causing inflammation of the circulatory systems, hence, causing more cardiac complications in COVID-19 patients Objective: To observe the frequency of cardiac complications in COVID-19 patients during the second wave Methods: 235 COVID-19 patients presenting with cardiac complication to the Cardiology Department of Mayo Hospital, Lahore during 6 month periods of second wave of COVID-19 were included.

The Punjab province is the Pakistan’s most populous province which accommodated to the half population of the country. The Potohar region is located across the northern portion of the Punjab province, north of the salt range, between the Jhelum and Indus River. Agriculture sector in Pakistan is currently contributing 20.9 % of the national income and about 70 % of the country’s experts are directly and indirectly based on agriculture. Majority of the farmers in Potohar region own less than two hectors of agricultural land. Food and fodder securities are main concerns of agriculture in this tract where crop production is entirely depends upon the intensity and distribution of rain fall during the cropping seasons. Women, the half of humanity, have important roles in Potohar agriculture for food and fodder securities in the area. The females are administering home and social duties with the least help from males. Despite improvements in the women’s capabilities, gender gaps in entitlements and agricultural decision making continue to persist. Pakistan is no exception. Keeping in view the gender discrimination in decision making regarding to agriculture and rural development, a study on “Analysis of Gender Involvement in Agricultural Decision making and rural Development in Potohar region in Punjab province is envisaged. District Chakwal was selected as the universe of the research study. A snap shot survey research was conducted for collection of data. A well thought/conceived and pre-coded instrument of data collection (interview schedule) was applied in the field. Both analysis of quantitative data and qualitative information were combined to have most robust results. The result reveals that women are the most active in crop production and natural resource management. Their role in decision making process regarding to agricultural productivity is very limited. The factors like cultural values, personal ego, male dominance, social pressures, mobility problems, physical and social security are ground problems of females in decision making process. The final decision power on all issues lies with male household head. Therefore, it is recommended that labor intensive crops like vegetable farming, crop production technologies should be promoted in the area. Electronic media and NGOs’ counseling services will be useful in improving gender equality perceptions among males. Equal education and training opportunities should be provided to both males and females in order to improve the quality of farm operations and its recognition in male’s eyes.
