ڈاکٹر عبدالبصیر خان

ڈاکٹر عبدالبصیرخان
قاہرہ سے واپسی پردوسری اندوہناک خبر اپنے عزیز دوست ڈاکٹر عبدالبصیر خان کی وفات حسرت آیات کی سُنی جوپہلی خبرسے کم دلدوز نہیں تھی۔ موصوف اپنے مضمون (ZOOLOGY) میں بین الاقوامی شہرت کے مالک تھے۔ مسلم یونیورسٹی علی گڑھ میں اپنے شعبہ کے صدر اور پروفیسر تھے،پراکٹر بھی رہ چکے تھے۔ طبعاً نہایت شریف ،سچّے اور خدا ترس انسان تھے۔ مرنا ہرایک کوہے لیکن اُن کی وفات جن حالات میں ہوئی ہے وہ حددرجہ صبرآزماتھے،اس لیے ہمیں اس میں ذرا شبہ نہیں کہ اُن کی موت صرف موت نہیں بلکہ شہادت ہے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ انھیں صدیقین وشہداء کامقامِ جلیل عطا فرمائے اور ان کی نوجوان بیوہ اور دو کمسن بچّوں کاحافظ وناصر اور نگہبان ہو،آمین۔ [نومبر ۱۹۶۶ء]

 

عظیم شخصیات کے اوصاف وخصائص: سیرت طیبہ کی روشنی میں

Great lineage, good manners, trustworthiness, sincerity, courage and bravery, obedience, generosity, modesty, humility, thankfulness, absolute trust in Allah, education and upbringing, affection and compassion towards the elderly, the youth, slaves and animals, the regard for truth, the endurance and patience etc. Are such features that at them neither was the match for the Holy Master (saw) born, nor will any such person be ever born. In addition, let alone friends, his enemies were helpless to hold him as-Sadiq (the Truthful) and al-Ameen (the Trustworthy) due to these and many other great attributes; and they would say: Muhammad is not a liar at all, but we can’t believe in him as a prophet sent by Allah. Moreover, even a non-Muslim or polytheist has never criticized his character to this day, nor will anybody do till the judgment day. Whenever the greatest personalities of the world were listed or somebody committed to writing on the said topic, the Holy Prophet (saw) remained at the top of the list. Drawing of the swords of father and son against each other, the change of the standard of friendship and enmity, fighting of master and his slave against each other, chanting the slogan of Ahad-Ahad (the only One, the only One) on the blazing sand, giving priority to martyrdom over the utterance of a word of unbelief, taking a husband away from his wife and separating a mother from her infant, deforming the condition after a blasphemous blow on the blessed face, forced migration to Habsha (Abyssinia) at times, and laying siege to Shb-e-Abi Talib (the valley of Abi Talib) at times.

Characterization and Bioevaluation of Inulin Based Designer Food

Instant research was conducted to explore the fat replacing functionality of inulin in cakes and to highlight its therapeutic potential against hypercholesterolemia and hyperglycemia. Purposely, inulin was extracted from chicory roots and Jerusalem artichoke tubers and its various physicochemical attributes were assessed. The results revealed the inulin content as 90.95±2.43 and 93.76±3.21% for chicory roots and Jerusalem artichoke, respectively. Regarding techno-functional attributes, chicory inulin exhibited more solubility (118.67±3.26g/L) than Jerusalem artichoke inulin (4.62±0.18g/L). Moreover, reported values for oil holding capacity for both the inulin were 1.51±0.02g/g (chicory) and 4.95±1.13g/g (Jerusalem artichoke). Afterwards, extracted inulin was used as a fat replacer in cakes. Purposely, eleven types of cakes were prepared by varying the concentration of chicory inulin (T1 to T5) and Jerusalem artichoke inulin (T6 to T10) @ 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% along with control (T0). The results of cake batter illustrated that viscosity decreased with increasing concentration of inulin and the highest reported value (11324.64±226.92cP) for this trait was observed in T0 (control) whereas, lowest value (6311.13±124.23cP) was recorded in T5 (50% chicory inulin). On the other hand, batter density increased from 1.04g/cm3 in control to 1.19 g/cm3 in T5 containing 50% chicory inulin. Regarding cake volume, highest reported value was 539.53±18.46cm3 (control). An inverse relationship was observed between water loss and increased inulin concentration. Lightness for both the crust and crumb decreased with higher doses of inulin. Treatments based on acceptability scores were selected to be used in bioefficacy trial involving normal, hypercholesterolemic and hyperglycemic rats referred as study I, study II and study III, respectively. All the studies were subdivided into three groups and correspondingly three types of diets were prepared such as control (G0), diet containing chicory inulin (G1) and diet containing Jerusalem artichoke inulin (G2). In bioefficacy trial, inulin proved effective in managing the cholesterol level. Highest reduction in cholesterol levels was attained in study II (hypercholesterolemia) as 11.60% for G1 and 11.20% for G2. Likewise, more reduction in LDL levels was observed in hypercholesterolemic rats (study II). An up surge of 5.99% and 7.47% in HDL levels was observed in G2 (Jerusalem artichoke inulin containing diet) and G1 (chicory inulin containing diet) in hypercholesterolemic rats. A noticeable decline in triglycerides levels was also witnessed in study II with the administration of functional diets when compared to control and the percent reduction recorded was 17.0% (G1) and 14.66% (G2). Furthermore, serum glucose levels expressed a significant decline i.e. 9.52% and 10.42% in study III by G1 and G2, respectively. In hyperglycemic rats, an upsurge of 7.12% and 6.09% in insulin levels was observed for G1 and G2, respectively. Besides, kidney and liver functioning parameters were also improved by inulin based diet in comparison to control diet. Fecal pH was determined and reduction was observed in inulin fed groups in comparison to control. Conclusively, it has been explored that chicory roots and Jerusalem artichoke tubers can be used as therapeutic ingredients due to the presence of health promoting moieties such as inulin which can be tailored to develop various food formulations in order to attenuate the lifestyle related disorders.
