شمس العلماء عبدالرحمن شاطرؔ

شمس العلماء عبدالرحمان شاطرؔ مرحوم
دکن ٹائمز مدراس میں یہ پڑھ کر بہت افسوس ہوا کہ مدراس کے مشہور و ممتاز فلسفی شاعر مولانا شاطرؔ کا وسط اپریل ۱۹۴۳؁ء میں انتقال ہوگیا۔
ارکاٹ احاطۂ مدراس میں اسلامی علم و تمدن کی فراموش شدہ تاریخ کا ایک ورق ہے، نواب ارکاٹ کا محل ارکاٹ کے جنگی خاتمہ کے بعد خود شہر مدراس ہے، شمس العلماء عبدالرحمان شاطر اسی برج فلکی کے آفتاب تھے، عمر ستر کے قریب ہوگی، اردو، عربی، فارسی اور انگریزی زبانوں سے واقف تھے، نواب صاحب ارکاٹ کے سکریٹری بھی تھے اور مدراس ہائیکورٹ میں مترجم بھی رہے تھے، گو وطن مدراس تھا، مگر ۱۹۰۱؁ء اور ۱۹۰۳؁ء میں حیدرآباد دکن کے بزم علمی میں اس کے شریک تھے، جب مولانا شررؔ اور داغؔ اور گرامیؔ حیدرآباد کی زینت تھے، وہ ان کی مجلسوں میں شریک ہوتے تھے اور ان سے اپنے ذوقِ ادب کی پرورش کرتے تھے اور اسی زمانہ سے وہ مولانا کے قریب رہنے والوں اور قریب سے جاننے والوں میں تھے اور ان کی وہی محبت تھی جو حضرت الاستاذ کی وراثت میں مجھے ملی تھی۔

Revising Islamic Studies Courses for Improving Cordial Interfaith Relations in Nigeria: A Case Study of Umaru Musa Yar’adua University Katsina, Nigeria

Nigeria has been, for the last four decades, struggling with the menace of inter-religious hostilities between Christians and Muslims who formed the largest religious groups in the country. Numerous policies and programs brokered by various Governments and non-Governmental organizations to curtail the situation failed to yield the desired result. Islamic studies as one of the widely offered programs in the Nigerian universities has the prospect of offering solution to the predicament. However, the courses taught in the program are mainly studies on the Qur’an, Hadith, Tauhid, Ibadat, Fiqh, Islamic civilization, thought and history without single course on interfaith relations. Taking Umaru Musa Yar’adua University Katsina (UMYUK)-Nigeria, as a study case, this paper attempts to draft and propose the inclusion of interfaith relations courses in the curriculum of Islamic Studies programs at the university level in Nigeria for realization of peaceful coexistence in the country. The researcher uses primary data from the Qur’an and sunnah as well as secondary data from different sources. The paper employs exegetical methods and adopts content analysis in the process of conducting the research. The article recommends merging of duplicated courses in the existing curriculum and inclusion of the proposed courses by the Nigerian universities and other institutions of higher learning that offer various Islamic studies programs for the attainment of peaceful interfaith relations in the country.

Home Pump-Storage Hydroelectric Pshe System As Alternative to Battery Bank in Ups System

The utility companies in Pakistan resorts to routine load shedding as a result of persistent energy crises that has become a long term issue. In order to get relief during load shedding, domestic/residential consumers use UPS with battery backup as a means for powering bare minimum load, mainly consisting of light bulbs and ceiling fans. According to an estimation made by Federal Environment Protection Agency, almost 60% of Pakistani domestic consumers rely on UPS with lead-acid battery as electricity backup and an estimated Rs 30 billion is spent by Pakistanis every year on these backup devices that have flooded the markets. The cost of batteries and its maintenance have imposed a financial burden on consumers using UPS. Furthermore, environmental issues and risks of accidents associated with batteries are also of major concern. A survey was conducted to collect information regarding the use of UPS with battery backup, highlighting the issues related to the technical and economic issues and its impact on consumers. In the present work a detailed study on commonly used local manufactured batteries has been conducted and a cost and load model of Battery/UPS system has been developed. Based on the techno-economic study and green energy concept, a novel idea based on pump-storage hydroelectric (PSHE) scheme to eliminate batteries with UPS has been investigated. Amongst the green energy systems, hydro resources seem to be more promising as compared to wind and solar because of their intermittent nature and their availability at sites. PSHE system is a low cost alternate source of electrical energy based on green energy is therefore essential to replace batteries in UPS system. The prototype model was design to exclude batteries from use with UPS which provide consumers with low cost and reliable option. A comparative techno-economic analysis with UPS/battery backup and PSHE/UPS system has been performed. The power supply system, using PSHE to replace the battery can effectively overcome the inherent defects in wind-solar hybrid system. The project was sponsored by Directorate of Science and Technology (DoST) with the plan to commercialize the project as a cost-effective product (manufactured locally) to the consumers during load shedding and for locations such as remote villages hit hard by load shedding.
