الحاج شیخ فیروز الدین جاپان والا

الحاج شیخ فیروز الدین جاپان والا
افسوس ہے پچھلے مہینے کی ۷؍تاریخ کوسہ پہر کے وقت محترم الحاج شیخ فیروز الدین صاحب جاپان والے ہمیشہ کے لیے رخصت ہوگئے۔مرحوم دہلی کی پنجابی برادری کی بزرگ ترین شخصیت تھے۔ابھی اپریل کے شروع میں کلکتہ جانا ہوا تھا تو معمول کے مطابق ان سے تقریباً روزانہ ہی ملاقات ہوتی تھی ۔کولوٹولہ نمبر ۸۰ بلڈنگ کابڑاحصہ پچھلے سال منہدم ہوگیاتھا، اس لیے اس مرتبہ قیام مدح ہاؤس ۱۶۔ذکریا اسٹریٹ میں ہوا اورمیزبان حاجی قاسم جادوت صاحب تھے۔
کولوٹولہ نمبر ۸۰ کی نسبت سے یہ مکان فاصلے پرہے شیخ صاحب یا پیادہ چل کریہاں تشریف لاتے تھے اوردیرتک بیٹھتے تھے۔بُڑھاپے کی وجہ سے قدرتی طور پر ناتواں تھے لیکن ان کی صحت کی عام رفتار کودیکھ کرکہیں دوردور بھی یہ خیال نہیں ہوتا تھاکہ اس قدر جلد دنیا سے جارہے ہیں۔
آخری ملاقات ۱۸؍ اپریل کی صبح کوہوئی تھی، حسبِ معمول بہت سی باتیں ہوئیں خاص طور پر انسانی اعمال اوران کے نتائج پردل پذیر گفتگو رہی۔مرحوم اس فلسفے پر بھرپور یقین رکھتے تھے کہ انسان جوکچھ کرتاہے اس دنیا میں کسی نہ کسی رنگ میں اس کا بدل ضرورسامنے آتا ہے، وہ مکافاتِ عمل کے اس پہلو پرزیادہ زور دیتے تھے اورباربار کہا کرتے تھے کہ قانونِ مکافات کوصرف آخرت پر چھوڑ کر بے فکر نہ ہوجانا چاہیے۔ان کی باتیں دل چسپ اوراثر انگیز ہواکرتی تھیں۔مجھ سے بے تکلف تھے اس لیے زیادہ کھل کرباتیں کیاکرتے تھے اور قلندرانہ انداز میں کیاکرتے تھے۔ اس روز دورانِ گفتگو مشہور عالم، محدث اورصوفی شیخ عبدالوہاب شعرانی ؒ کے واقعہ کاذکر آگیا جس کوسن کر دیرتک سردھنتے رہے۔میں نے کہاکہ شیخ نے لکھا ہے کہ جس روز میری بیوی ……اکھڑے اکھڑے تلخ وترش لہجے میں مجھ سے بات کرتی ہے تو سمجھ جاتاہوں کہ میں نے ضرور کوئی ایسا عمل کیاہے جس کا...

Muslim-Christian Relations in the Era of Prophet Muhammad: Review of Najrān Delegation’s Case in Modern Context

Muslim–Christian relations are as mature as Islamic history itself. Historical evidences state the first interaction of Muslims and Christians occurred in 5th year after nabuwwah (615 AD) when Muslims migrated to Ḥabshah (Abyssinia) and second contact was established after immigration of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to Madinah. After getting socio-political stability in 8th hijrī (629 AD), Muhammad (PBUH) sent letters and ambassadors to different statesmen and religious leaders to spread the Islamic Mission and Message globally. One letter was also sent to the chief Bishop of Najrān. In response, the chief Bishop of Najrān accepted the invitation and personally came to meet the Prophet (PBUH) with his reputed delegation. The beloved Messenger (PBUH) warmly welcomed this delegation. As a result, the peace agreement was reached after some theological debate and discussion. Later on, throughout history, the relations between Muslims and Christians have been in situation of up and down. It’s also a fact that over the centuries, the Muslims-Christians relations had sometimes been one of enmity, sometimes one of rivalry, competition, and encounter. In spite of it, the Najrān’s delegation case has a historical significance in Muslim-Christian relations in the literature of both religions. Therefore, in this study efforts were made to explore the event of Najrān delegation as theological foundations for Muslim-Christian relations in times of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and how can we get benefit from it in modern era. Moreover, this study perceives that the case of Najrān delegation was the first practical interaction between Muslims and Christians of that age. Hence, we could get benefit from it with its modern applications and interpretations. The analytical, comparative and historical approaches have been adopted in this study with qualitative paradigm. I compared and analysed the case in Islamic and Christian context and then gave recommendation for its application.

Distribution, Food Preference and Endo-Parasites in Common Mallard Anas Platyrhynchos Collected from Wetlands of the Punjab, Pakistan

The population survey was conducted to evaluate the population of common mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) at ten wetlands of the Punjab. The mean population of ten year at Chashma Barrage (65651464), Taunsa Barrage (1913191), Ucchali Lake (885232), Head Qadirabad (24972), Head Marala (41852), Head Rasool (350), Khabbeki lake (9242), Head Sulaimanki (1515166), Jhalar Lake (10321), and Head Islam (21739) was calculated and recorded. The population of Chashma barrage was statistically highly significant (P<0.01) as compared to other wetlands. Toevaluate the food preference, among total 40 gut samples, total weight of gut was (102.583.451g), total weight of gizzard (39.92 1.279 g ), weight of food material (4.340.170), gizzard weight without food material (35.33 1.208), weight of seed (1.62 0.092), weight of vegetation (1.960.087), weight of other material was (0.940.069). The comparison between male and female showed that the total weight of gut, total weight of gizzard, weight of food material, gizzard weight without food material and weight of seed was statistically highly significant (P<0.01), weight of other material was statistically significant (P<0.05) and weight of vegetation was statistically non-significant (P >0.05). The total 11 species of plants were identified from the gut analysis which were, Ipomoea aquatic, Hydrilla verticillata, Trapa natans, Oryza sativa, Vallisneria spirallis, Schenoplectus litoralis, Nymphaea nouchali, Typha angustifolia, Potamogeton nodosus, Eichhornia crassipes and Cyperus alopecuroides. The total 14 samples were found infected with different gastro- intestinal parasites. The six species of parasites found were Amidostomum anseris, Hystrielus tricolor, Notocotylus attenuatu, Hymenolepis gracilis, Diacranterian introversa, and Diorchis stefanskii. Four species were recorded at Chashma Barrage, Taunsa Barrage and Head Sulaimanki. Three species were recorded at water-logged area of Bahawalnagar and Faisalabad and two species were recorded at Head Marala. Hymenolepis gracilis, Dicranotaenia introversa and Diorchis stefanskii was recorded from the four wetlands.Hystrielus tricolor and Notocotylus attenuates was recorded from the three wetlands and Amidostomum anseris was recorded from the two wetlands. The current study has provided the valuable baseline information for the management planning, conservation, improvement of habitat, host-parasite interactions, fitness, and health status of this species.
