میر واعظ مولوی عمر فاروق

میرواعظ مولوی محمد فاروق صاحب کی شہادت
میرواعظ مولوی محمدفاروق کچھ سر پھروں کی گولیوں سے چھلنی ہوکر شہید ہوگئے۔ اِنَّالِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّا اِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُوْن ط
یہ خبر جیسے ہی عوام تک پہنچی، سب ہی پرسکتہ ساچھا گیا، ہرشخص غم وصدمہ کے سمندر میں ڈوب گیا، کیونکہ میرواعظ ؒ ایک قابل احترام ہستی کانام تھا، وہ کشمیری عوام کے ہی محترم رہنما نہ تھے ،بلکہ ملّتِ اسلامیہ ہند کے سچے رہنما تھے۔ عالم وعابد اورزاہد تھے۔بڑے ہی وضعدار انسان تھے۔ہرشخص سے مروت واخلاق کے ساتھ ملتے تھے۔ ۱۹۸۶ء میں راقم اپنے رفیق فخرالدین صاحب کے ہمراہ سری نگر گیاتو حضرت میرواعظؒ ہی کے یہاں قیام کیا۔ اس دوران میں ان کی میزبانی کے جوہر وآداب کامشاہدہ تو ہواہی، ساتھ ان کی تقویٰ وعبادت سے لبریز زندگی، ان کے اعلیٰ اخلاق وبہترین ومثالی کردار کے جونمونے نظروں کے سامنے آئے اس کے پیش نظر راقم یہ کہے بغیر نہ رہے گاکہ کشمیر میں ان کی شخصیت اسلامی کردار وعمل تقویٰ وریاضت اور ملک وقوم کی ہمدردی ومحبت میں منفرد تھی۔
ہزاروں سال نرگس اپنی بے نوری پہ رُوتی ہے
بڑی مشکل سے ہوتا ہے جہاں میں دیدہ ور پیدا
قبلہ ابّاجان حضرت مفتی عتیق الرحمن عثمانیؒ اوران کے قائم کیے ہوئے ادارہ ندوۃ المصنفین سے جوان کو لگاؤ وعقیدت تھی وہ اظہر من الشمس ہے ،وہ اس ادارہ سے دلی وابستگی کابرملا اظہار کیاکرتے، اس کی امداد واعانت کے لیے ہمیشہ پیش پیش رہتے۔ ان کی شہادت سے ادارہ ندوہ المصنفین کاذاتی نقصان ہواہے،لیکن اﷲ پاک نے ان کو ان کے بہترین عمل وکردار کی بدولت جوشہادت کا مرتبہ دیا ہے اس سے انہیں مقرب الٰہی رحمت خاص اورجنت کاجومژدہ ملاہے اس پر ہر مسلمان کورشک ہے۔
اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کے متعلقین اورہم سب کو صبرجمیل عطا فرمائے،آمین۔ ان کے صاحبزادے اور ان کی جگہ میرواعظ مولوی عمر فاروق...

Second Wave of COVID-19 in Pakistan: Our Responsibilities and Challenges as A Nation

The Corona virus (SARS-CoV2) pandemic initiated in late December 2019 in Wuhan city of Hubei, China, which has rapidly progressedinvolving more than 215 countries of the world. It was caused by novel SARS-COV2 coronavirus with Huanan seafood wholesale market as the possible point of origin. In past two decades, coronaviruses epidemic of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-COV) had 37% mortality rate and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-COV) had 10% affecting more than 10,000 population together. World Health Organization (WHO) declared it as the sixth Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on January 30, 2020 and later on March 11, 2020, the WHO labeledit as a pandemic. The first case of COVID-19 from Pakistan was reported on 26th February, 2020 and has affected over 354,000 people with a mortality of over 7000 patients. Many countries of the world have seen second wave of this pandemic. Government ofPakistan has also declared a second waveon October 28, 2020, after the rise in cases from 500 to 750 per day. Now it has crossed 2000 cases. The data released by the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) shows that the current percent positivity rate is close to 3 compared to the previous figure of lesser than 2 making it a bigger challenge than first wave in Pakistan. The patients now presenting in hospitals are all in critical condition. Lack of a specific vaccine or antiviral drug and non-compliance to the standard preventive measures is the major reason of initiation of a second wave of this viral infection in Pakistan. Being a nation we need to be responsible. Our country may go into economic crisis & our health facilities may choke. We have to understand how to live with this virus till the availability of vaccine or Curative antiviral drug. TheGovernment of Pakistan is creating awareness in the public for the second wave as the situation of pandemic is getting worse. Smart lock downs are being implementedbut people are not following preventive measures that are leading to infection spread at a very alarming speed. At the moment preventive measures are the only way to stop the spread of disease. Preventive measures should be adopted to contain this deadly disease. Wearing masks, using hand sanitizers, washing hands with soap for 20 sec, keeping social distance of 6 feet are mandatory preventive strategies. Social, political, business, recreationaland religious gatherings, should be avoided. Educational institutesshould follow strict standard operating procedures. Most of the people in Pakistan are not considering this disease as a matter of serious concern due to unawareness, poverty, beliefs and lack of resources. People should ignore such disbeliefs and should start considering it as a great health concern. They should follow the preventive measures in true sense.

Quality Enhancement of Gladiolus Cut Flowers by the Application of Zinc, Boron and Growth Regulators

Gladiolus, an excellent cut flower is highly responsive to fertilizers, especially micronutrients. Dire need is there to explore the best pre and postharvest management practices for quality production and vase life of plant to cope with market demand. Keeping the aim in mind, a study was conducted to enhance the quality production and elongated vase life of gladiolus cut flowers by applying preharvest zinc (Zn) and boron (B), and postharvest salicylic acid (SA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) during two consecutive years 2010 and 2011. Zinc was applied in the soil media @ 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mg kg-1 and B @ 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg kg-1 in pots under greenhouse conditions. Data on preharvest parameters were recorded for the number of leaves per plant, leaf area, spike length, spike thickness, days to flowering, number of florets per spike, flower size, fresh weight and dry weight of flowers, number of cormels, corm size chlorophyll contents, ascorbic acid contents, zinc contents, boron contents and protein contents. The flower spikes were harvested and placed in glass jars containing distilled water. The postharvest application of salicylic acid at 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg l-1 and gibberellic acid at 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg l-1 in vase solution were evaluated. Data were recorded on postharvest parameters; days taken to open floret, percent florets opened, vase life, percent change in fresh weight, electrolyte leakage, superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) and free radicals scavenging (FRS) activity. No significant effect of zinc was observed on number of leaves plant-1 and spike thickness. Zinc @ 6 mg kg-1 rendered the highest leaf area, spike length, spike thickness, flower size, fresh weight, dry weight, corm size, chlorophyll contents, days taken to open floret, percent fresh weight change, SOD, POD, CAT xxiii and FRS activity. Whereas, Zn @ 8 mg kg-1 induced the highest number of cormels, number of florets per spike, protein contents, percent florets opened and vase life. The lowest electrolyte leakage and earliest flowering was noted with Zn @ 8 mg kg-1. Zinc concentration was recorded significantly higher with Zn @10 mg kg-1 as compared to all other treatments. Boron had no significant effect on number of leaves per plant and spike thickness. The highest leaf area, spike length, spike thickness, number of florets per spike, flower size, fresh weight, dry weight, number of corms and cormels, corm size, chlorophyll contents, protein contents, days taken to open floret, vase life, percent florets opened and vase life, percent fresh weight change, CAT and FRS activity were observed with B @ 2 mg kg-1 with respect to control treatment. While B @ 3 mg kg-1 induced the largest flower size, the highest fresh weight and SOD activity of cut flowers. Earliest flowering and lowest electrolyte leakage was noted with B @ 2 mg kg-1 and 3 mg kg-1 respectively over all other treatments. Boron and Zn concentrations were observed significantly high with B @ 5 mg kg-1 as compared to all other treatments. Salicylic acid @ 150 mg L-1 significantly increased the days taken to open florets, percent florets opened, retained higher fresh weight, SOD, CAT and FRS activity over control treatment. The lowest electrolyte and the highest POD activity were observed in SA @ 200 and 150 mg L-1, respectively among all other treatments. Gibberellic acid @ 25 mg L-1 induced the highest days taken to open floret, vase life, percent florets opened, vase life, fresh weight, POD, and FRSA over other treatments. The highest SOD, CAT activity and the lowest electrolyte leakage were noted in GA3 @ 50 mg L-1 over control. This study concludes that application of Zn at 6-8 mg kg-1, B at 2 mg kg-1 imparts greater beneficial effects on growth, production, vase quality and antioxidative activities in gladiolus. Salicylic acid at 150 mg L-1 and GA3 at 25 mg L-1 augmented the longest vase life and antioxidants activity of cut gladiolus and further higher application rate renders non significant improvement.
