طالب حسین کوثریؔ کی نعت گوئی

طالب حسین کوثریؔ کی نعت گوئی

نعت عربی زبان کا لفظ ہے جس کے معنی تعریف یا وصف بیان کرنا کے ہیں اگرچہ عربی زبان میں اس مقصد کیلئے مدح کا لفظ استعمال کیا جاتا ہے۔مگر ادبی اصطلاح میں لفظ نعت نبی کریمﷺ کی مدح و تعریف کیلئے استعمال کیا جاتا ہے۔فارسی لغات میں نعت سے مراد نبی کریمﷺ کے اوصاف اور ثناء بیان کرنا کے ہیں۔اردو زبان کی ’’نور اللغات‘‘ میں لکھا ہے۔کہ یہ لفظ معنی مطلق وصف ہے۔اور اس کا استعمال نبی پاکﷺکی تعریف و ثناء کے بیان کے لیے وقف ہے۔اس لیے نعت کا لفظ عربی،فارسی،اردو،پنجابی اور دیگر زبانوں میں ایسے ہی معنوں میں استعمال ہوتا ہے اور وہ سارے اشعار اور نظمیں  نعت کے گھیرے میں آ جاتی ہیں جن میں آپﷺ کے محاسن بیان ہوئے ہوں۔اس طرح نعت کا گھیرا وسیع سے وسیع تر ہوتا جاتا ہے۔چونکہ نعت کا محور آپﷺ کی ذات پاک ہے۔اس لیے آپﷺ کی ذات سے صفات تک،افکار سے اعمال تک غرض ذات مقدس کا کوئی ایسا پہلو نہیں جو لغت کا موضوع نہ بنا ہو۔اخلاق ،سیرت،معجزات، غزوات، خطبات، عبادات، معاملات، عادات ،تعلیمات سب کچھ نعت کے گھیرے میں آ گئے ہیں۔

نعت کا وجود عربی ادب میں آپﷺ کی مبارک زندگی سے ہی نظر آتا ہے۔بہت سارے صحابہ کرام نے آپﷺکی پاک زندگی کے ایک ایک پل کو شعر وادب میں محفوظ کیا ہے۔یہی صحابہ کرام کا ورثہ تھا اور یہی ہمارا قیمتی اثاثہ ہے۔یوں تو اردو ادب میں لا تعداد شعراء کرام نے نبی پاکﷺ سے عقیدت و محبت کے اظہار کیلئے نعت گوئی کی،مگر بہت کم شعراء کرام ایسے ہیں جن کی ادب میں پہچان نعت گوئی بنی ہو۔دور حاضر کے ممتاز نعت گو شعراء کرام میں ایک نام جناب طالب حسین کوثریؔ کا بھی ہے۔جنہوں نے اپنی نعت...

Update on Pakistan Polio Eradication Initiative

The global polio eradication initiative (GPEI) was established in 1988 as a result of the declaration of commitment by the World Health Assembly. In Pakistan, National Emergency Action Plan [NEAP] coined the strategies under government directives to play a pivotal role in line with international requirements to make poliomyelitis extinct. At the program’s initiation, there were around 350,000 cases of polio reported annually. The incidence has fallen by 99% due to the immunization of more than 2.5 billion children worldwide. Poliovirus has three serotypes; two have already been eradicated (the last case of poliovirus type 2 was reported in 1999 and of poliovirus type 3 in 2012). Poliovirus transmission has ceased with the exception of Pakistan and Afghanistan. In April 2022, two cases of acute flaccid paralysis due to poliovirus type 1 have been reported in KPK province. In this communication, insight is provided regarding the issues that have contributed to this wild poliovirus resurgence after a 15-month gap and the way forward.

Water Scarcity and Conflict: A Case Study of India-Pakistan Water Dispute

This study presents the explanation of a natural phenomenon of water scarcity and its correlation with an inevitable reality called conflict. Today, the distribution of water is constantly changing with globalization, change in environment and factors such as global warming and population growth. This change and unequal distribution of water, its limited accessibility to different nations and its ever increasing demand has introduced a natural and relatively dormant crisis. Different regions of the world are facing the problem of water shortage resulting in inter and intrastate conflict. The study argues that conflicts are essentially due to scarcity of resources. It is due to water shortage that many countries are unable to meet the increasing water demands of consistently growing population. The problem has severely affected agricultural production and respective economies of those countries which extensively rely upon agriculture. The gradual depletion of water resources has become a matter of serious apprehension especially for water stressed regions. With the passage of time the utilization of water has increased and resulted in competitive environment where states are striving to secure and enhance control over the depleting water resources. The situation is worsening and giving birth to disputes over water sharing. The region of South Asia is also facing severe water stress. The water resources of the region have been consistently depleting. South Asia is an agricultural region; the states of this region largely rely upon rivers for irrigation of lands. Considering this fact that many rivers are transboundary, the sharing of rivers has lead to several disputes among states. At the same time hydro politics and exploitation of water has become a prevalent reality. India is determining to gradually enhance control over the water resources of the region to maintain its hydro hegemony. The country has been involved in prolonged water disputes with its neighboring countries. However, this study specifically highlights India's prolonged water conflict with Pakistan which remains unresolved and significantly explains the likely chances of an interstate conflict between the two neighboring countries which are nuclear powers posing threat to regional stability. This study is essentially an attempt to employ the theory of environmental scarcity and conflict to understand India-Pakistan conflict.
