ڈاکٹر شہزاد احمد کی نعتیہ شاعری

ڈاکٹرشہزاد احمد کی نعتیہ شاعری
نعت کی مختصر روایت
عربی میں نعت کے معنی ’’وصف‘‘ کے ہیں لیکن اُردو میں اس کا استعمال حضور اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی ستائش وثنا کے لیے مخصوص ہے۔(۱)اصطلاح میں ہر وہ نثر پارہ یا منظوم کلام جو رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی مدح میں ہو نعت کہلاتا ہے، نعت گوئی وصف محمود کا دوسرا نام ہے۔ اس بارے میں ڈاکٹر رفیع الدین اشفاق رقم طراز ہیں:
’’نعت کے معنی یوں تو وصف کے ہیں لیکن ہمارے ادب میں اس کا استعمال مجازاً حضرت رسول سیدالمرسلین صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کے وصف محمودو ثنا کے لیے ہوا ہے جس کا تعلق دینی احساس اور عقیدت مندی سے ہے۔‘‘(۲)
نعت کا آغاز اللہ رب العزت نے خود کیا اور انبیاء ورُسل کو نبی آخر الزماںصلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی آمد کی نوید سنائی۔ پھر قرآن مجید خود رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کے اوصاف حمیدہ اور سراپامبارک کے بیان سے مزین ہے۔ یہ سلسلہ قبل ازاسلام سے جاری ہے۔ تبع حمیری جو شاہ یمن تھا، اُس کے اشعار زبان زد عام ہیں ۔ راجا رشید محمود کے مطابق:
’’اولین نعت کی حقیقت یہ ہے کہ ہمارے آقا و مولاصلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کے اولین نعت گو تبان اسعدبن کلی کرب تھے جنھیں تبع، شاہ یمن کہا جاتا ہے اور وہ حضورصلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم سے کم ازکم سات سو سال پہلے ہوئے ہیں۔‘‘(۳)
بعدازا سلام عرب میں پہلی نعت جناب ابوطالبؓ نے سردارانِ قریش کے سامنے کہی۔ یہ نعت قصیدے کی صنف میں تھی۔ اس کے بعد حضرت حسان بن ثابتؓ، عبداللہ بن رواحہؓ، کعب بن مالک انصاریؓ اور کعب بن زہیرؓ کاروان نعت کے وہ خوش نصیب شعرا ہیں جنھوں نے حیاتِ رسولؐ...

توہین رسالت، خدشات، اعتراضات اور اس کے جوابات

The Holy Quran is that last scripture of Allah Almighty that has been revealed for the guidance of the human beings. Prior of its revelation the mankind was indulged in the darkness of illiteracy, ignorance, barbarism, lawlessness and idolatry. But the Quran revealed them the wealth of knowledge and in the time the followers of this Great Book became mentors of the whole Ummah. In Arabia, mankind had lost their dignity before the Quran was sent. They lacked national unity. They considered it to be a binding of themselves to Quarrel with one another. The past religious teaching had been altered. The life of the poor had been made tough by the local Arab Tribal leaders. Allah almighty Showered by sending the Holy Quran in such circumstances.   The Quran is such a code of life which is a sure Source of success if lead our lives according to its Teachings. The Root Cause of our Problems is our lack of knowledge about the Quranic Teachings. It is the need of Hour that the Teachings of the Quran should be extended so that the Muslim Youth should be able to build their character according to the Quranic principles.

Biological and Molecular Characterization of Begomoviruses from Pothwar Region of Pakistan

Begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae; genus Begomovirus) are dicot plantsinfecting viruses which are exclusively transmitted by the insect vector whitefly (Bemesia tabaci). These viruses belong to economically important group of viruses which have monopartite and bipartite single stranded DNA genome. The plant diseases induced by begomoviruses are major constraints for successful crop production worldwide. Pothwar region is located in the northern part of Punjab province with an estimated area of 22, 254 km2. Based on the ecological and climatic conditions Pothwar region is adapted for the production of large number of agricultural and horticultural crops. The lack of systematic study on begomoviruses diversity in Pothwar region gave a strong backing to current study for assessing the incidence, distribution and genetic characterization of begomoviruses in the region. A total of 138 plant samples belonging to 17 different plant families were collected from four districts of Pothwar region and capital territory Islamabad. Total genomic DNA was isolated from all plant samples by CTAB method followed by PCR employing universal degenerate primers for begomoviruses detection. Selected positive samples were subjected to Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA) for full genome amplification of DNA-A, DNA-B and satellite genomes which were cloned and sequenced subsequently. The obtained sequences were analyzed using Sequence Demarcation Tool (SDT) and phylogenetic analysis was carried out by Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) 6.0. Plants belonging to 15 families were tested positive for begomoviruses and the overall incidence of begomoviruses in Pothwar region was xxii 77.5 percent while incidence in individual areas was 85.7 percent in Attock, 85 percent (Rawalpindi), 83.3 percent (Islamabad), 81 percent (Chakwal) and 55.5 percent (Jhelum). The begomoviruses were not evenly distributed in Pothwar region with 32 percent in Rawalpindi, 27 percent (Chakwal), 22.4 percent (Attock), 14 percent (Islamabad) and 05 percent (Jhelum). The most significant contribution of the present study is the identification and characterization of new begomovirus specie which was tentatively named as “Euphorbia yellow leaf curl virus” (EYLCV) [Pakistan:Rawalpindi:Euphorbia:2012] [KM978186]. The EYLCV was also isolated and characterized from Hibiscus syriacas and Combretum indicum. Other begomoviruses which were characterized in present study are Mesta yellow vein mosaic virus (MeYVMV) and its association with Cotton leaf curl Multan Betasatellite (CLCuMB) infecting Malvastrum coromandelianum, Rose leaf curl virus (RoLCuV) infecting Duranta repens, Tomato leaf curl New Dehli Virus infecting Solanum lycopersicum and Chilli leaf curl virus and its associated betasatellite infecting Capsicum annum from Pothwar region. The Pothwar region provides an opportunity for helper viruses to develop more complex relationships with satellites DNAs altogether opening a window for the development of unique begomoviruses disease complexes with likely implication of invading the cotton belt that could result in severe economic losses to national economy.
