سیٹھ ابراہیم مہتمم مدرسہ عمر آباد
عمرآباد مدراس میں حاجی عمر (روشن کمپنی) کا خاندان ایک خاص حیثیت رکھتا ہے۔ حاجی صاحب امرتسر کے علمائے غزنویہ کے فیض سے مستفیض اور توحید و سنت کے متبع تھے، کامیاب تاجر تھے، اپنے ہی نام سے شمالی آرکاٹ میں ایک زمین خرید کر عمرآباد نام کا ایک مقام آباد کیا تھا اور وہاں ایک بڑے عربی مدرسہ دارالسلام کی بنیاد رکھی تھی، چندسال ہوئے کہ انہوں نے وفات پائی اور تیں صالح اولادیں اپنی یادگار چھوڑیں، اسماعیل، ابراہیم اور اسحاق، سب سے بڑے اسماعیل تو کاروبار کے نگراں ہیں اور ابراہیم نے جو منجھلے تھے مدرسہ کی دیکھ بھال، اس کے قیام و ترقی کو اپنی زندگی کا مقصد قرار دیا تھا، ابھی پچھلے سال جوہری طنطاوی کی تفسیر کا اردو ترجمہ ایک ہزار روپے کے صرف سے مطبع معارف میں چھپوایا تھا، مدرسہ کے لئے کتب خانہ تنہا اپنی ذات سے کتابیں خرید کر فراہم کیا تھا، اس کے لئے ایک عمارت بھی بنوائی تھی، افسوس کہ یہ پھول کھلنے سے پہلے ہی مرجھا گیا، یعنی ۳۰؍ رجب ۱۳۵۷ھ کو اس دنیائے ناپائیدار کو الوداع کہا، رحمہ اﷲ تعالیٰ۔ (سید سلیمان ندوی، نومبر ۱۹۳۸ء)
The paper examines the dynamics of The Gambian National Youth Service Scheme (NYSS) founded in 1996 through the efforts of Nigeria’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Scheme. Though modeled after the NYSC, it has ventured into things NYSC has not. One of these was its most recent partnership with the IOM to curb recurrent illicit migration of The Gambian youths. The questions are, has this aspect of Nigeria-The Gambia history been documented? Has Nigerian Scheme gone into partnership with the IOM in the enterprise like The Gambian counterpart? Since its establishment, how many times has NYSC adjusted to changing realities? In what theoretical contexts could one frame the argument of the NYSS/ IOM partnership and what lessons does that holds for NYSC and similar youths’ services in Africa in the century? In addressing the problem, the paper adopts the qualitative method of historical research and gleans on evidence from diverse sources. It foregrounds its argument on the ideas of the National Youth Service as “Moral Equivalent of War”, “Service- Learning” and “A Way of Strengthening Ties among the People of the World” espoused by William James, John Dewey, and Rosenstock-Huessy. It concludes by charging NYSC and similar services to adjust to meet the current challenges of African youth and society
Liver is a vital body organ and has an important role in various body functions. However, it is
susceptible to a number of diseases due to pathogenic microorganisms, toxins and other harmful
agents. The management of liver diseases is difficult with conventional medicines so there is an
increased interest in alternative medicines for improving liver function. Coffee is a commonly
consumed beverage and it is found to exert beneficial effects on a body. In this study, the
hepatoprotective effects of Arabica coffee beans in paracetamol (PCM)-induced liver injury
animal models were determined. Rabbits were randomly divided into three groups. The liver
injury model was generated by oral ingestion of PCM at a dose of 1g/kg/body weight of each
animal. To evaluate the preventive effects of coffee, the third group received a co?treatment of
PCM and coffee. Hepatoprotective effects of coffee were evaluated by testing the parameters of
liver functioning enzymes, lipid profile and renal efficiency assays. PCM reduced the levels of the markers of the liver injury. It also reduced the harmful parameters of lipid profile. However
there was no significant change in comparison to control. In conclusion, coffee was found to
prevent the liver deteriorating effects of PCM along with the restoration of lipid profile in
hepatoxicity induced rabbits.
