مفتی محمد قائم فرنگی محلی

مفتی محمد قائم فرنگی محلی
افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ مہینہ مفتی محمد قائم صاحب فرنگی محلی نے انتقال فرمایا، مرحوم درس و تدریس اور فقہ و فتاویٰ میں خانوادہ فرنگی محل کی آخری یادگار تھے، ایک مدت تک مدرسہ حنفیہ جو نپور کے صدر مدرس رہے، مگر ادھر عرصہ سے کبرسنی کے باعث خانہ نشین ہوگئے تھے، چند برسوں سے بالکل معذور ہوگئے تھے، مگر اس حالت میں بھی افتا کا کام جاری تھا، اور مولانا محمد رضا فرنگی محلی ان کی نگرانی میں اس کو انجام دیتے تھے، فقہ کے علاوہ حدیث و رجال پر بھی ان کی وسیع نظر تھی، جس پر ان کی تصنیف معیار الحدیث شاہد ہے، اخلاق و وضعداری میں پرانے بزرگوں کا نمونہ تھے، ان کی وفات سے فرنگی محل کی علم وفضل کی آخری یادگار مٹ گئی۔ والبقاء ﷲ وحدہ۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، جنوری ۱۹۷۰ء)

طلب معاش کی اہمیت اور اس کی ترقی کے اسباب قرآن اور سنت کی روشنی میں

Trade has been considered as the most important mode of caring livelihood.  Trade is considered as sole biggest medium because all other modes carry secondary position, as they all derive from trade in one way or the other. That’s way crafts and services have gained much success in this era of machinery and technology. In spite of all this trade assumes the same highest positions in this era too. Islam has not left trade on its own but has framed principles. These principles are not only helpful on individual scale but they give benefits to whole community. It benefits in this world and hereafter of its users. Islam is an eternal religion, so it addresses all problems of this era and of upcoming in its teachings. We can gain both worldly and hereafter benefits by acting upon Islamic principles. We have glorious examples of past traders who visited the whole world in order to carry trade. They trade far and wide on the basis of Islamic principles. They not only maintained their businesses, but also preached Islam through their just dealings and humble behavior. Their customers or the people who come into their contact were so impressed that they not only became Muslims but also changed their traditions, Customs, culture and even languages. This article discusses the reasons that explicate the beauty of Trade.

Level-3 Geometric Correction of Formosat-2 Satellite Imagery and Efficient Image Resampling

A significant problem in satellite imagery is geometric distortion. Accurate remote sensing and high resolution satellite images have made it necessary to revise the geometric correction techniques used for ortho-rectification. Conventional methods of photogrammetric modeling of remotely sensed images are insufficient for mapping purposes and need to be substituted with more rigorous approach to get a true orthophoto. FORMOSAT-2, a newly launched remote sensing Taiwanese satellite, has high spatial resolution sensor onboard for a daily revisit orbit. However, like any image acquisition system, it also produces geometric distortions in its raw images. Pixel Projection Model (PPM) was devised by National Space Program Office (NSPO) Taiwan, for processing of Level-1A (Raw) satellite images to Level-2 (radio metrically corrected) images. Being systematically corrected, Level-2 images still possess terrain elevation, rotation-translation and geometric distortions. There was a dire need for enhancement of this model to produce Level-3 (geometrically corrected) image products. A novel method for Level-3 correction of satellite images, especially suited for FORMOSAT-2, has been developed. The PPM has been enhanced to cater for geometric distortions caused by the attitude change in the satellite specifically in the pre-processing stage. The three attitude angles of the satellite are thus calculated and corrected as per the ground position or coordinates using least squares adjustments. The approach is based on non-systematic method in which physical modeling of the satellite imagery is considered. The mathematical model has been developed to calculate and correct instrument bias/ attitude angles. Ground Control Points have been integrated in the algorithm besides vertex matching iifor more precise results. Results were verified by computing MSE for image to image matching and point to point matching. An improvement of 86.3% was obtained for the new Level-3 correction technique over the existing Level-2 algorithm. Three conventional interpolation techniques for transformation of image pixels to earth coordinate system were also analyzed for improvement. The experimental results show that the cubic convolution based modeling is best suited for output pixel value transformation but it is computationally complex with a higher execution time. To improve this, a wavelet- transform based filter (Daubechies 4) was developed for image pixel transformation. The new method provides similar visual interpretation as cubic convolution but with much lower computational complexity and execution time. The proposed wavelet-transform based method is an order of magnitude faster than the cubic interpolation technique. Level-3 geometrically corrected FORMOSAT-2 images can be used for disaster investigation/ prediction, environmental monitoring, vegetation evaluation, and multi- temporal image matching. In our work, we have focused on the application of geometrically corrected imagery for disaster investigation.
