آہ! مولانا عبدالمجید ندوی
افسوس ہے کہ ۲۳ مئی کو مولانا عبدالمجید ندوی صدر مدرس مدرستہ الاصلاح سرائے میر ایک حادثہ میں جاں بحق ہوگئے، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
وہ ایک تقریب میں شرکت کے لیے جارہے تھے، رانی کی سرائے میں کوئی بچہ ان کی گاڑی کی زد میں آگیا، مگر ڈرائیور کی ہوشیاری سے وہ بالکل بچ گیا اور اسے کوئی چوٹ نہیں آئی، اس کے باوجود بعض شرپسند لوگوں نے پتھراؤ کیا۔ جس سے مولانا کے دماغ پر ضرب شدید آگئی اور اعظم گڑھ اسپتال میں انھوں نے دم توڑ دیا۔
مدرستہ الاصلاح میں متوسطات تک تعلیم حاصل کرنے کے بعد وہ ندوۃ العلما لکھنؤ میں داخل ہوئے، فراغت کے بعد لکھنؤ یونیورسٹی سے ایم۔ اے کیا، پھر بی۔ایڈ کے لیے شبلی کالج اعظم گڑھ میں داخلہ لیا۔ ندوہ کی آخری جماعت میں تفسیر کا درس مولانا عبدالباری ندوی فلسفی سے لیا۔ جن کی تعلیم و تربیت کا خاص اثر ان پر پڑا، وہ کئی برس تک ان کے ساتھ ہی ان کے مکان میں رہے، اس سے ان کو بڑا علمی و دینی فائدہ پہنچا مگر باقاعدہ بیعت مولانا سید ابوالحسن علی ندوی مدظلہ سے ہوئے۔
اعظم گڑھ میں وہ میرے ساتھ رہتے تھے، ان کے دینی ذوق و رجحان، مذہبی حمیت، شعائردین اور ارکان اسلام کے احترام خصوصاً نماز کی پابندی اور اہتمام کی بنا پر مولانا شاہ معین الدین احمد ندوی ان کی بڑی قدر کرتے تھے اور شاہ صاحب نے دارالمصنفین میں لائبریرین کی حیثیت سے ان کا تقرر بھی کیا مگر وہ اپنے بعض مشاغل کی وجہ سے یہاں زیادہ دنوں تک قیام نہیں کرسکے۔ اس کے بعد مختلف وقتوں میں مدرستہ الاصلاح، جامعتہ الرشاد اور شعبۂ دینیات مسلم یونیورسٹی سے وابستہ ہوئے، ادہر چند برس سے وہ مدرستہ الاصلاح کے مہتمم تھے۔ ان میں لکھنے پڑھنے کی اچھی...
Arabic language is a family member of Semitic languages whereas Urdu is the member of Indo-European Languages. The Arabic language though is not from the same language family but amazingly it provides much of its share through alphabets, words with its meanings and pronunciation. These features of both languages have provoked to study it under the contrastive linguistics through semantic study of commonly used words. This research is a semantic study of commonly used words in both languages of different language family along with the applied linguistics in Language teaching. There are large numbers of Arabic words that are used in Urdu language and there are significant numbers of words that are used in different meanings, this change in meaning led to change in semantic field. This research paper also study the effect of semantic change of these words on Arabic Language teaching to the Pakistani students whose native language is Urdu. This study will also reveal the reasons of errors during language learning with the help of semantic study if commonly used words.
Pakistan is food self-sufficient especially Punjab which is leading producer of major food crops in Pakistan. Despite the fact that Punjab is leading producer of food, a considerable portion of its population is reported food insecure in previous studies especially in rural areas where food is actually being produced. Different percentages of food insecure population/households are reported, this difference is due to the measuring instruments used to assess food security status. Food security is a multifaceted issue and have different aspects like availability, accessibility and utilization. No single indicator of food security can take into account all the aspects of food security.There is need to measure food security using multiple methods simultaneously to get a clearer picture of food security status. Also, the aspect of hygiene was largely ignored by previous studies. This study aimed at examining food security and hygiene conditions among farmer and non-farmer rural households of the Punjab, Pakistan. Three measurement methods i.e. DIA (Dietary Intake Assessment), HFIAS (Household Food Insecurity Access Scale) and HDDS (Household Dietary Diversity Score) were used to measure food security status of the households. An index was created containing 4 components (i.e. water, food, personal and household hygiene) to measure hygiene.Primary data was collected from three regions of the Punjab (i.e. North, Central and South Punjab). Two districts from each region were selected randomly and then one Tehsil was selected from each of the selected districts. Four villages from each selected Tehsils were selected randomly and a sample of 24 households (12 farmer and 12 non-farmer) were selected from each village randomly. This made an overall sample of 576 households. An interview schedule was used for data collection. Results of all three measuring methods showed that farmer households are more food secure than non-farmer households. According to DIA, 38.9% farmer and 45.5% non-farmer households were food insecure, according to HFIAS, 45.1% farmer and 51.7% non-farmer households were food insecure and according to HDDS, 57.3% farmer and 65.3% non-farmer households were food insecure. South Punjab was found the most food insecure region followed by Central Punjab and North Punjab was comparatively the most food region. Prevalence of food insecurity varied for each measuring method but pattern was same. A strong correlation between three measuring methods was found. Family structure, family size, income, education and age of household head, dependency ratio and ownership of livestock were found significant determinants of food security status of farmer and non-farmer households. The importance of these determinants varied for farmer and non-farmer households. On average farmer households had better hygiene status. Income, education of household head and age of household head were found significant for hygiene status of households. Hygiene and prevalence of diarrhea were also found significant.
