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...

قیام امن اور مذہبی ہم آہنگی

The Internal dissensions within the ranks of the Muslim Ummah are very harmful and condemnable. Today, the Muslims of the world have fallen into the deep recesses of decline due to their mutual differences. The intrigues and conspiracies of the hostile nations have created schism and dissensions among the Muslims on the grounds of language, land, race and color. In our country (Pakistan), if we ponder on the growing rate of violence, we will find that the main causes of this chaos are our attitude towards our mutual differences. Because of intolerant approach towards our mutual differnces, our difficulties and problems are sizing up, and they have engulfed the whole nation, now. The only point on which our nation can be united is the “Kalimah”. The followers of this “Kalimah” whether they are white or black, rich or poor, or whatever race they belong to, and whatever territory or country they come from, they are all considered as the member of the Muslim Ummah. Keeping the prevailing situation of the Muslim Ummah, the author of this paper feelss that an appropriate answer to the question, ‘are all sorts of differences condemnable?’, is key to end most of our differences. In fact, all sorts of differences are not condemnable or forbidden; if differences of opinions are based on some logical grounds within the jurisdiction of the Qur’ān and Aḥādīth, they are permissible and justified as inevitable and natural. Such kind of approach can promote tolerance and unity among the Muslim Ummah and can put us at peace.

Role of Ticks in Transmission of Brucellosis and Skin/Hide Damage in Small and Large Ruminants

Brucellosis is a highly infectious disease which induces significant economic losses to the livestock industry by causing abortion and production losses in ruminants. Additionally, Brucella has zoonotic potential to cause Malta fever in humans. Brucella has many species which infect their particular hosts. However mix livestock farming and sharing of same pasture may enhance cross-species transmission to non-preferred hosts. Cross-transmission of Brucella species to peripheral hosts greatly complicates the diagnosis of brucellosis in both animals and humans. There are many risk factors involved in brucellosis. Among these factors ectoparasites, particularly ticks, are important vectors that haven’t received much scrutiny from epidemiologists investigating this disease. Ticks belong to class Arachnida and subclass Acarina. Ticks harbor uncountable microbes in their gut and as a clade transmit bacterial, viral, and protozoal pathogens to animals and humans; these pathogens are referred to as tick-borne diseases (TBD). Brucella is one of the TBD which has been reported previously in many countries, in Pakistan, however, no investigations have been conducted regarding brucellosis in ticks. In view of the economic importance of brucellosis, the present study was designed to investigate the inter-species transmission of brucellosis in nonpreferred hosts using molecular-based tests, comparative evaluation of molecular techniques and preferred clinical specimens for diagnosis of brucellosis, to investigate the role of ticks as vectors of brucellosis and histopathological investigations of skin and hides of tick infested ruminants. In present study blood, serum and ticks were collected from 692 tick infested cattle, 798 buffalo, 471 sheep and 960 goats having a history of abortions in a farm, sharing of same pasture, close contact and mixed farming of small and large ruminants. All serum samples were subjected to screening with Rose-Bengal Plate test. After screening with RBPT the seropositive serum samples were subjected to duplex conventional and real-time PCR for diagnosis of brucellosis, crosstransmission of Brucella species, and comparative evaluation of real-time PCR with conventional PCR. The blood samples of respective seropositive samples were subjected to real-time PCR for comparative evaluation of serum with the blood for a preferred specimen. Seronegative samples were also diagnosed by real-time PCR assay to investigate the role of non-reactive ruminants in brucellosis. Ticks harvested from real-time PCR positive ruminants were identified; female ticks were subjected to real-time PCR assay. The tissue samples of naturally tick infested skins and hides were studied at the microscopic level. We uncovered cross-species transmission of B. abortus in caprine and ovine serum samples while B. melitensis DNA traces were detected in bovine serum samples. Brucellosis was detected in seronegative small and large ruminants. We also developed and tested a real-time PCR assay more sensitive than conventional PCR and established that brucellosis detection was more accurate when serum samples were used rather than whole blood. The presence of DNA from several Brucella species were detected in ticks using real-time PCR assay. Histopathological examination showed ticks cause significant damage to skin and hides by inducing degenration of the epidermal layer from basal layer, collagen degeneration with a focal area of necrosis, adjacent subdermal abscess and infiltration of neutrophils. Control of ticks should be given consideration to reduce the severity of hide damage and concomitant losses in the domestic leather industry. Ticks are known as a vector of numerous pathogens; efforts are underway to educate farmers about financial loss of skin and hide due to tick infestation and preventive control measures
