نامہ بروں سے ربط نہ بادِ صبا سے ہے


نامہ بروں سے ربط نہ بادِصبا سے ہے
بس آہ بھر کا فاصلہ غم آشناؐ سے ہے

پوچھا کہ کس کے دم سے ہے خوشبو چمن چمن
بولی صبا حضورؐ کی زلفِ دوتا سے ہے

ہر شب کا حسن آپؐ کی والیل زُلف سے
ہر دن کی آب و تاب رُخِ والضحیٰ سے ہے

بدرالدجیٰؐ کے نور سے مہتاب کی چمک
تاروں کی روشنی بھی اُسی کی ضیا سے ہے

اُس ذاتؐ کے طفیل ہے دارین کا نظام
دل کی بھی کائنات اُسی دلرُباؐ سے ہے

کس کے لیے سجائی گئی بزمِ کائنات
دلداریِ خدا یہ حبیبِ خداؐ سے ہے

فرشِ زمیں سے عرشِ بریں کی حدود تک
’’سارے جہاں کا حُسن دمِ مصطفی سے ہے‘‘

قرآں کی آیتوں میں کیا ان کا تذکرہ
خالق کو پیار آپؐ کی اِک اِک ادا سے ہے

روزِ ازل سے اِسمِ محمدﷺ خدا کے ساتھ
یہ اِنتہا کو پہنچا ہوا ابتدا سے ہے

عرفانؔ جو نبیؐ کا ہوا وہ خدا کا ہے
الفت رسولِ پاکؐ کی الفت خدا سے ہے

The Present Day Applications of Initial Muslim-Christian Interactions.

Throughout history, Interfaith Dialogue has been a continuous activity in Muslims and Christians alike. According to the historian, incident of Wafad-e-Najran[i] (Najran’s Delegation) was the first ever regular interaction between Muslims and Christians.  Therefore, this incident has an academic and historic importance in Muslim -Christian perspectives.  The Holy Quran describes this incident in detail. First 80 verses of Surah Ale-Imran were revealed in this context.  Further information is found in the books of Hadith, Seerah and Islamic History. This incident can become a base for modern Muslim- Christian Dialogue and we can derive from it some basic principles of Dialogue. This article elaborates the incident of Wafad-e-Najran, its importance and also derives some important rules from it. These principles are: interfaith tolerance, harmony, communication, understandings, peaceful co-existence, honour and respect, wisdom and beautiful reasoning, common basis for interfaith dialogue, Daw’ah and perfection of Hujjah. This article also describes its applications in the Present Dialogue.   [i] Wafad-e-Najran:   It is an Arabic word, used in Hadith History and other Islamic literature. It is meant by Najran’s Delegation and I shall use throughout the article as Wafad-e-Najran. 

Failure Creteria for the Design & Stability Anlaysis of Tunnels in the Rock Mass Environment of Kp Using Numerical Modeling

The stability of a tunnel in rocks can be evaluated through different methods. Empirical design methods are commonly used supplemented and validated with numerical design methods to improve the stability. Each and every design method requires certain rock and rock mass parameters as input. Empirical design methods include Rock Mass Classification systems as integral part. Strength and/or stiffness parameters are frequently required for Numerical design analysis. Rock mass properties can either be determined directly or predicted, however, the direct determination is not always viable and these are generally predicted. Rock mass strength and deformability is realistically well predicted through the use of rock mass classification systems in conjunction with appropriate empirical failure criteria such as Hoek-Brown failure criterion and empirical expressions using rock mass classification systems respectively. However, the use of such relations requires right, precise and authentic input data. The thesis focuses on devising better ways and means for approximating the input parameters needed for engineering design of tunnels in rocks. The first part of this research focuses on fitting of failure criterion to laboratory data to get a suitable failure criterion for the local rock mass environment and optimize the strength parameters for numerical design purposes. The second part describes the empirical estimation of rock mass deformation modulus. The Hoek – Brown failure criterion 2002 version and its variants are fitted to full scale laboratory rock data of Kohat Tunnel as well as Diamir Basha Dam Diversion Tunnels using linear and multiple regression methods and Microsoft Excel optimization tool "Solver". Analysis shows that for majority cases/ rock types, the ―Globalized‖ variant of the Hoek – Brown failure criterion is best fit based on error of estimation. For the deformation modulus, previous equations (based on Rock Mass Rating, Q index and Geological Strength Index) are divided into 10 groups on the basis of input parameters and modeled using ―Sigmoidal‖ and ―Gaussian‖ functions in Microsoft Excel solver optimization tool. Eight new generalized equations are presented, among which, the sigmoidal function was the best. iii It is observed that the displacement values from the modeled deformation modulus (sigmoidal function based on GSI using the 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Phase2 tool) was very close to the actual displacement monitored in the field.
