کیفی ؔاعظمی

کیفیؔ اعظمی
مشہور و مقبول ترقی پسند اور اردو کے انقلابی شاعر جناب کیفی اعظمی ۱۰؍ مئی کو صبح ساڑھے چھ بجے ممبئی کے جس لوک اسپتال میں انتقال کرگئے جہاں سانس کی تکلیف کی وجہ سے دو ماہ پہلے داخل ہوئے تھے، ۱۱؍ مئی کو اندھیری ویسٹ کے چار بنگلہ قبرستان میں سپرد خاک کئے گئے۔
کیفی صاحب ۱۹۱۸؁ء میں اعظم گڑھ کی تحصیل پھول پور کے ایک گاؤں مجواں کے زمین دار شیعہ گھرانے میں پیدا ہوئے، ان کے والد جناب سید فتح حسین رضوی اودھ کی ریاست بلہرا میں تحصیل دار تھے۔ کیفی صاحب کا اصلی نام سید اطہر حسین رضوی تھا، یہ سات بھائی بہن تھے، بڑے بھائیوں نے انگریزی تعلیم حاصل کی تھی، ان کو ان کے والد بزرگوار نے عربی تعلیم دلانے کے لیے فرقہ شیعہ کی مشہور درس گاہ سلطان المدارس لکھنو میں داخل کرایا مگر ان کا جی یہاں نہیں لگا، غالباً مدرسے کی سخت گیری اور مذہبی شدت پسندی سے گھبرا کر انہوں نے تعلیم ہی نہیں چھوڑی بلکہ مذہب سے بھی برگشتہ ہوگئے، اور غالباً آخر تک رہے، تاہم مدرسہ کی تعلیم کو خیر باد کہنے کے باوجود انہوں نے لکھنو اور الٰہ آباد کی یونیورسٹیوں سے مشرقی امتحانات دیئے اور اپنی ذاتی محنت و مطالعہ سے اپنی استعداد بڑھائی، اردو فارسی کے علاوہ غالباً وہ عربی، ہندی اور سنسکرت سے بھی واقف تھے۔
کیفی اعظمی کا طرۂ امتیاز ان کی شاعری ہے جس کو اس کے مخصوص لب و لہجہ ، باغیانہ تیور اور انقلابی افکار و خیالات کی بنا پر بہت پسند کیا گیا، ان کے گھر میں پہلے ہی سے شعر و سخن کا چرچا تھا، اردو ہی نہیں فارسی کا ذوق بھی عام تھا، ان کے تینوں بڑے بھائی بھی شاعری کا مذاق رکھتے تھے اور صاحب بیاض تھے، خاندانی کتب خانے...

عورتوں کے حقوق اسلامی تعلیمات کی روشنی میں

Before the advent of Islam, women were living in worst conditions during the Era of Ignorance. Daughters were buried alive. Women were openly sold in the market. A woman was just a source of enjoyment for males and nothing else. She had no basic rights. Even she had no share in inheritance. In human history, it is Islam that for the first time gave due respect to woman by providing her basic rights and proper status. Islam believes in equality of men and women – ‘Equality’ does not mean ‘to become identical’. Women’s rights in Islam pertain to Spiritual, Economic, Educational and Legal Rights. A woman can adopt any profession, she wants. Thus, she has got full freedom to live a happy and peaceful life. Unfortunately, there are many people who believe that because Islam gives men the right of having authority over their wives, therefore, men are superior to women and that men have priority over women in all matters. The fact is that according to Islamic teachings, men are not superior to women; and so women are not superior to men. There is no gender discrimination in Islam. Allah Almighty states very clearly in the Holy Quran that superior in His eyes are only those who have more taqwa (fear of Almighty Allah).

Role of Biochar in Reducing Cadmium Toxicity in Wheat and Rice Rotation under Drought and Salt Stress

Cadmium (Cd) bioaccumulation in the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) and the Cd translocation into grains have become a vital global environmental constraint for food security. Cadmium shows higher risk than other heavy metals owing to its toxic effects on plants, animals, and humans. Thus, the present research work was conducted to evaluate the Cd bio-availability, bioaccumulation and toxicity to the plants grown in aged contaminated soil amended with various levels of biochar (BC) either applied alone or under the salt and drought stress. For the achievement of these goals sequential pot experimental studies were carried out in the seasons of wheat and rice cropping system in Cd-contaminated soil under ambient conditions amended with different levels of BC (0, 1.5, 3.0 and 5% w/w) produced from rice straw. First, wheat was sown in the BC-amended soil and divided into three parts such as only BC applied in Cd-contaminated soil, BC applied in the same soil under salt stress (0 mM, 25 mM and 50 mM), and BC under drought stress; well-watered control (70% of soil water holding capacity, WHC), mild drought (MD, 50% of WHC), and severe drought (SD, 35% of soil WHC). Plants were harvested at physiological maturity (130 days of germination). Result showed that BC supply increased the growth, photosynthesis, dry weights, mineral nutrients as well as antioxidant enzymes whereas reduced the oxidative stress and Cd concentrations in different parts of wheat. The BC supply reduced bioavailable Cd in the soil whereas increased EC and pH of the soil than control treatment. However, higher rate of BC (5.0%) was not affective under higher salt stress (50 mM NaCl) where reduction in plant growth and photosynthesis was observed. Second, rice was sown in the same soil without further amendment of BC and salt whereas drought stress was applied to 35-d-old plants as follows; well-watered control (1-2 cm water layer on soil), MD, 50% of WHC), and SD, 35% of soil WHC) for an additional 35 days. All plants were harvested after 70 days of growth and analyzed for various physiological and biochemical parameters. Biochar supply increased plant height, biomass and photosynthesis whereas reduced oxidative stress and Cd contents in plants which confirmed the residual effects of BC in enhancing plant growth and reducing Cd uptake by plants. Continuous flooding plus BC application was the most effective in reducing Cd concentration in rice than MD and SD. However, plant growth and photosynthesis were reduced with BC amendments under 50 mM salt stress. The BC application reduced the bioavailable Cd in the soil whereas increased soil pH than control. It can be concluded that BC amendment can be used to reduce Cd contents in plants and also had a significant residual effect on decreasing Cd uptake in latter crop. However, BC levels should be carefully applied in the soils having higher salinity.
