شاہ معین الدین ندوی

آہ شاہ صاحب !
جناب شاہ معین الدین احمد ندوی ناظم دارالمصنفین اور اڈیٹر معارف جو شاہ صاحب کے نام سے یہاں یاد کئے جاتے اب اپنے پاک دل، پاک ذات اور پاک صفات کے ساتھ آغوش رحمت الٰہی میں ہیں۔ ۱۳؍ دسمبر ۱۹۷۴؁ء کو جمعہ کے روز اپنے تمام روزمرہ کے معمولات میں مشغول رہے، دس بجے دن کو بال بنوایا، غسل کیا، کھانا کھایا، جمعہ کی نماز پڑھی، ڈھائی بجے تک عاجز راقم سے ملاقات رہی، اخبار پڑھتے پڑھتے سوگئے، گہری نیند سوئے، چار بجے اٹھے، اپنے ایک دیرینہ ہم جلیس مولوی عزیز الرحمن صاحب کے ساتھ بیٹھے باتیں کرنے لگے، عصر کی نماز کے لئے وضو کا پانی منگوایا، کرسی سے اٹھ کر وضو کے لئے اٹھنا چاہتے تھے کہ زمین پر گرگئے، خیال ہوا کہ بے ہوش ہوگئے ہیں، ان کے دوست ڈاکٹر عبدالحفیظ انصاری بلائے گئے تو انھوں نے اعلان کیا کہ وہ اﷲ کو پیارے ہوئے، وہ نہ بیمار پڑے نہ سکرات کی تکلیف ہوئی، نہ کسی کو کچھ خدمت کرنے کا موقع دیا، ایسا معلوم ہو (کہ زمین پر سے یکایک اٹھالئے گئے اور دارالمصنفین کے درودیوار کو اداس نہیں، بلکہ روتا چھوڑ گئے، ان کی وصیت کے مطابق ان کی میت، ان کے وطن ردولی دارالمصنفین کے کارکنوں اور ان کے قدر دانوں کے جلو میں لے جائی گئی، جہاں وہ چودھری خلیل احمد کی مسجد کے احاطہ میں سپرد خاک کئے گئے۔ اللھم اغفرلہ و الرحمۃ و ادخلہ الجنۃ۔
ان کی رحلت دارالمصنفین کے لئے حقیقی معنوں میں جانکاہ حادثہ ہے، استاذی المحترم مولانا سید سلیمان ندوی نے دارالمصنفین کو چھوڑا تو مولانا مسعود علی ندوی کا انتظامی سلیقہ، مولانا عبدالسلام ندوی کی علمی شہرت اور اس ادارہ سے خود جناب شاہ صاحب کی شیفتگی بروے کار رہی، عاجز راقم کو بھی اس کی خدمت میں گیارہ سال...

Post-Covid 19, Online consumer purchase behavior in Pakistan

Since Covid-19, there has been a rise in e-commerce and online brands' influence on consumer buying behavior. It is crucial to investigate the factors that impact online consumer purchase behavior. Applying the theory of reasoned action (TRA), our study seeks to assess the extent to which customer satisfaction and perceived risks build trust and how trust, consumer engagement, and ease of purchase would act as reasons for consumers to engage in e-commerce in Pakistan. Using data gathered from 400 respondents via a questionnaire, we have demonstrated the precise relationship between these six constructs. Results indicate that customer satisfaction positively influences trust while perceived risks negatively affect it and that trust and consumer engagement positively and directly impact purchase behavior. Online retailers should improve these factors and modify the online environment to increase sales from their e-channels and improve customer retention

Phytochemical Potential of Common Fig Ficus Carica Against Life Style Disorders

The current research study was designed to characterize leaf, peel and pulp of locally grown black variety of common fig (Ficus carica) followed by development of functional product and exploring its hypocholesterolemic & hypoglycemic potential through animal modelling. For the purpose, raw material (Ficus carica fruit & leaves) was procured from Abbotabad (Khyber Pakhtun Kha) and extracted with aqueous, methanolic and ethanolic solvents. Compositional analysis elucidated that fig components are good source of fiber, protein and minerals. Regarding extraction efficiency, aqueous solvent exhibited the highest recovery (8.17%) followed by methanolic (7.65%) and ethanolic (7.30%) solvents, respectively. Total phenolics, anthocyanins and flavonoids were found in descending order in leaf, peel and pulp, correspondingly. Amount of cyanidine-3-rutinoside was the highest in aqueous extract of fruit peel. Functional cakes were developed from three distinct levels (75, 150 and 225ppm) of leaf, peel and pulp extracts along with control for selection of best treatment and further using in bioevaluation trials. The developed cakes were evaluated in sensory analysis. Likewise, crust color, crumb color, taste & overall quality of cakes were scored best for T1 (150 ppm leaf extract) in comparison to control, while flavor, texture and cell uniformity were not altered by extracts. Afterwards, efficacy study in rats was conducted through two consecutive trials I & II for the validity of results. Rats were segregated into three main groups for normal, hypercholesterolemic and hyperglycemic studies based on diets. Each study comprised of four groups of rats ten in each. 150ppm leaf, peel and pulp extracts were supplemented in diets in addition to control after confirmation of raised glucose and cholesterol level in different rat groups. The consumption of different fig treatments imparted non-substantial effect on feed and drink intake during entire study. Cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides were significantly reduced by different fig extracts however, pronounced decrease as (10.96 & 11.12), (13.56 & 12.25) and (9.64 & 9.01) % was examined for leaf extract during trial I & II, respectively. The significant increase in HDL was also recorded in rats feeding leaf extract based diet from 59±3.04 to 60.78±3.51 and 57±3.22 to 58.70±3.35 mg/dL, respectively. Fig leaf extract was most effective than rest of the treatments and reduced glucose from 98±4.25 to 90.90±4.38 and 100±4.13 to 93.46±4.29 mg/dL in respective trials. Moreover, insulin level was also improved as 7.12, 5.23 & 3.56% by feeding leaf, peel and pulp extract in trial I and similar trend was observed in trial II. Furthermore, urea & creatinine level of fig extract fed rats was recorded as low as compared to control group, in which pulp affected least these parameters. AST, ALT & ALP concentrations were deceased in normal, hyperglycemic and hypercholesterolemic studies in descending fashion leaf>peel>pulp in both trials. Conclusively, fig leaf should be included in diet therapy in addition to fig fruit due to health promoting potential that can combat lifestyle related disorders.
