مولانا مفتی محمدظفیر الدین

مفتی ظفیرالدین مرحوم
افسوس کہ مولانا مفتی محمد ظفیرالدین مفتاحی اس دنیا سے ۳۱؍مارچ کو رخصت ہوگئے۔ ان کے انتقال سے ایک ایسی شخصیت سے محرومی کا احساس ہوا جس کی ساری زندگی علوم اسلامیہ کی تحصیل، ترویج اور تبلیغ کے لیے وقف رہی۔ مفتی کا لفظ گویا ان کے نام کا جزو ہوگیا، کیونکہ وہ دارالعلوم دیوبند کے دارالافتاء سے برسوں وابستہ رہے لیکن اصلاً وہ صاحب قلم عالم تھے، تصنیف و تالیف کی خوبی کہنا چاہئے ان میں بدرجۂ اتم موجود تھی، دیوبند کے فتاوی کی ایک درجن جلدوں کو انہوں نے بڑے سلیقے سے مرتب کیا لیکن علمی دنیا میں ان کی شناخت بلکہ اعتبار و اعتماد، اسلام کا نظام عفت و عصمت، اسلام کا نظام مساجد، اسلام کا نظام امن، اسلامی نظام معیشت جیسی نہایت مفید اور معلومات سے لبریز کتابوں سے قائم ہوا۔ نظام مساجد کی تالیف میں ان کو مولانا سید سلیمان ندوی، مولانا حبیب الرحمن اعظمی، مفتی عتیق الرحمن عثمانی اور مولانا مناظر احسن گیلانی رحمہم اﷲ کی توجہ اور رہنمائی حاصل ہوئی، انہوں نے جس سلیقے اور محنت سے یہ کتاب سپرد قلم کی اور معلومات کا قیمتی ذخیرہ اس میں جمع کیا اس کی داد مولانا گیلانی نے یہ کہہ کردی کہ ’’عربی میں شام کے ایک عالم جمال الدین القاسمی کی کتاب اس باب میں مشہور تھی مگر خیال ہے کہ احتواء و احاطہ میں مولانا ظفیر الدین کی کتاب کو دیکھ کر کم ترک الاول للاخرہ، کا اعتراف کرنا پڑتا ہے، اسی طرح ان کی ایک کتاب حیات مولانا گیلانی پر مولانا سیدابوالحسن علی ندوی نے لکھا کہ فاضل مصنف کی اس کتاب پر پیش لفظ لکھنے میں سعادت و عزت کا جو احساس اور قلبی مسرت حاصل ہورہی ہے وہ کم مواقع پر حاصل ہوئی، مولف کی ایک کتاب امارت شرعیہ کے مقدمے میں حضرت...

Wilfred Scawen Blunt and his Ideas on the Future of Islam

Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, like many aristocratic Englishmen in the age of Empire in the late 19th century, took an interest in the Muslim populations of the colonies being governed by Britain. As a prolific writer and poet, his approach differs from his contemporaries in being, on the whole, genuinely sympathetic to Islam. In his book ‘The Future of Islam’ he shows how important the power of Islam in coming centuries is likely to be, and touches upon many important topics, such as the growing spread of Islam in the world and possible adjustments to the Caliphate. He would like to see the formation of a friendly association between Great Britain and the Muslims of the world in the political interests of Britain. Inevitably, many of his predictions and wishes did not materialize in the 20th century. Wilfred Scawen Blunt [1840-1922] was an English gentleman who followed the leisurely pursuits available to affluent members of Victorian society, i.e, travelling and poetry. His travels in the Middle East made a powerful impression on his intellectual and emotional sensibilities. As E.M. Forster wrote in his essay on Blunt, he ‘was drawn to Islam, and at one time thought of professing it.’1 He was, no doubt, in sympathy with the subjugated peoples of the Middle East and with the Indians of South Asia who were groaning under the colonial yoke. Further in the essay, Forster writes, ‘Egyptians found him too proTurkish and Indians too anti-British.’2 This attitude was unique for a stolid Englishman of the time of the ‘highnoon of Empire’. Blunt feared the advance of European powers in Oriental lands. Forster further writes: ‘His detachment is amazing. He dreaded a war because it must involve Asia and Africa, and complete the enslavement of the conservative Oriental nations, whom he loved and who loved him……

Synchronization Control for Master-Slave Systems Subject to Nonlinearities and Time Delay

Synchronization is a fundamental nonlinear phenomena observed in diverse natural systems. This dissertation contributes to the problem of synchronization of nonlinear master-slave systems under the restraints of time-delays and parametric uncertainties. We investigate the synchronization phenomena in both non-identical and identical nonlinear master-slave systems by application of a control system. To investigate the problem of synchronization for non-identical nonlinear master-slave systems, firstly, a novel mutually Lipschitz condition is proposed. Secondly, an algebraic Riccati inequality based control methodology is formulated and, further, a less conservative LMI-based robust control strategy by virtue of proposed mutually Lipschitz condition and Lyapunov stability theory is established for synchronization of two dissimilar nonlinear master-slave systems. Additionally, a novel robust adaptive control scheme for synchronization of nonlinear master-slave systems is developed that ensures a low gain controller through adaptive cancellation of the unknown mismatch in nonlinearities. Novel frameworks comprising of delay-dependent and delay-range-dependent synchronization schemes are established. The input nonlinearity is transformed into linear time-varying parameters belonging to a known range. Using the linear parameter varying (LPV) approach, applying the information of delay range, exploiting the triple-integral-based Lyapunov-Krasovskii (LK) functional and utilizing the bounds on nonlinear dynamics, nonlinear matrix inequalities for designing a simple delay-range-dependent state feedback control for synchronization of the master and the slave systems is derived. In contrast to the conventional adaptive approaches, the proposed approach is simple in design and implementation and is capable to synchronize nonlinear oscillators under input delays in addition to the slope-restricted nonlinearity. Further, time-delays are treated using an advanced delay-range-dependent approach, which is adequate to synchronize nonlinear systems with either large or small delays. Furthermore, the resultant approach is applicable to the input nonlinearity, without using any adaptation law, owing to the utilization of LPV approach. In the end, numerical simulation results are adorned for the testimony of the proposed synchronization schemes of nonlinear master-slave systems.
