مولانا محمد اعزاز علی

آہ! الا ستاذ الاجل
۸؍مارچ کے اخبار الجمعیۃ میں جب یہ خبر نظر سے گزری کہ حضرت الاستاذ مولانا محمد اعزازعلی صاحب پرقلب کادورہ پڑگیا اوراس کی وجہ سے کچھ بے ہوشی رہی اوراب تھوڑی تھوڑی دیرکے بعد دورے پڑرہے ہیں تواسی وقت ماتھا ٹھنکا کہ خدا خیرکرے۔چٹان جب گرتی ہے تو مٹی کے تودہ کی طرح رِس رِس کے نہیں اچانک ہی گرتی ہے۔چنانچہ دوسرے دن کااخبار آیاتو دل کے دغدغہ کی تصدیق ہوگئی اور جس خبرِوحشت اثر کوسننے کے لیے کان تیار نہ تھے اس کایقین کرنا پڑا۔ یعنی حضرت الاستاذ راہی ملک بقا ہوگئے۔اِنّا لِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّا اِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُوْنَ۔
دارالعلوم دیوبند شروع سے معدنِ لعل وگہر رہا ہے۔کتنے ہی ذرے اس کی آغوش میں پلے اور بڑھے اورعلم وفضل کے آسمان پرآفتاب بن کر چمکے، کتنے چاند اورستارے اس کے آسمان پرطلوع ہوئے اوراپنی اپنی روشنی دکھا کراسی دارالعلوم کے دامن میں روپوش ہوگئے، کیسے کیسے گُہر ہائے آبدار اس کی خاکِ پاک سے اٹھے اورعلم وعمل، تقوی وطہارت اورزہد و ورع کی بزم قدس کوجگمگاکر پھرخاکِ لحد میں جاملے ۔آج وہ نہیں ہیں لیکن ان کی یادگاریں باقی ہیں خودان کا وجود فنا ہوگیا لیکن ان کے کارنامے زندہ ہیں اور وہ گویا خود زبانِ حال سے کہہ رہے ہیں:
تلک آثارنا تدل علینا

فانظر وا بعدنا الی الآثار
دارالعلوم دیوبند اگر شاندار عمارتوں ،درسگاہوں،اقامت خانوں اور وسیع و فراخ دروازوں اور اونچی اونچی دیواروں کانام نہیں بلکہ درحقیقت وہ انھیں نفوسِ قدسیہ کاایک پیکرِ محسوس اور انھیں ارواحِ طیبہ کاایک مظہرِ مادی وجسمانی ہے تو کوئی شبہ نہیں کہ حضرت الاستاذ اس عمارت کے ایک اہم ستون اوراس بزمِ انس و قدس کے ایک لعلِ شب چراغ تھے۔گزشتہ نصف صدی میں اس درسگاہ کوتعلیم و تعلم کے اعتبارسے جوشہرت وعظمت حاصل رہی ہے اس میں ایک بڑا حصہ...

Revelation in Hinduism: A Muslim Reading

Hinduism has been viewed by Semitic religions as a religion devoid of revelation. Early, Medieval and modem Muslim and Christian writings have often portrayed Hinduism as pagan even satanic while Hindus for millennia have claimed to be divinely revealed. Is Hinduism really a revealed religion and if so, what kind of a revelation does it have? In what manner does the divine reveal himself and who are the recipients of this revelation? To what extent is this concept different from ours? Does the process of revelation continue or has it been discontinued? These are some of the more significant questions that this article shall engage with. It clarifies that Hindus have books which they consider revealed and look upon much as Muslims look upon their Qur’an. The most significant of these among a majority of the Hindus are called the Vedas, literally, knowledge. It goes on to introduce the Vedas with respect to their various parts and content, what Hindus largely believe about it and how they ensured its preservation and safe transmission to later generations through various intricate and elaborate memorization techniques. The article highlights the importance of rishl, the recipients of these revelations, their kinds, characteristics and role in the process of revelation. The article contends that there is much in common between Rishland Semitic prophets with respect to their characteristics but that the similarities do not end here. Rather there is much more common ground to be explored with respect to revelation and its contents and its conveyors than meets the eye.

Synthesis, Characterization and Application of Silica Based Hybrid Materials

The development of new functionalized materials with increased performance is growing to meet the regulatory standards in response to public concerns for environment. This dissertation is an effort in this direction and describes the synthesis, characterization, and application of various functionalized silica hybrids keeping the perspective of recent technological advancements. The objective of present research is mostly driven by inadequate control of increasing concentration of toxic pollutants in environmental compartments. The synthesized functionalized hybrids are expected to find progressively their place as economical adsorbents. The direct method adopted for the synthesis of Mesoporous Silica and its functionalized hybrids offers advantage of providing uniform surface coverage and better control of the amount of incorporated organic moiety. The synthesized products are grouped as Mesoporous Silica (SBA- 15, MSU-H), Monodispersed ORMOSILS (VO, PO, MO), Functionalized Silica Hybrids (AS, GS, MS, VS, PS, AM, GM, MM, VM, PM), and Polysulfone Mixed Matrix Membranes (PM-15, PM-H, PM-VO, PM-PO, PM-MO). The resulting hybrid materials are thoroughly characterized to determine the surface and bulk properties and to develop understanding of intricate relationship of structural artifacts with its functionalities as adsorbents. The characteristics Si–O–Si stretching vibration bands at 1047cm-1 for Mesoporous Silica is identified on ATR-FTIR. The peculiar hexagons image is scanned under SEM. Further, the distribution of Si, O, and C element to locate the binding sites on fabricated membranes is clearly demonstrated through Mapping. The surface area of 521-580 m2/g is calculated by BET for Mesoporous Silica. The thermal stability is assessed by TG/DTA analysis. The synthesized Mesoporous Silica based hybrids were subjected to 13 C and 1H NMR studies and possible structure is deduced. The selection of novel adsorbents with multiple and diverse application range is a challenge. In the same spirit, the functionalized silica based hybrids are applied in batch mode for the removal of toxic species prevalent in air (N2, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons-PAHs), soil and water (metal cations of Hg, As, Cr, Pb, and nitro-, amino-phenols). Each adsorbent demonstrates the removal efficiency for these pollutants. The qualitative performance scale of each adsorbent is characterized as Excellent for Chromium, Very good for Lead, Good for Arsenic and fairly good for Mercury. A general comparison of silica based hybrids as adsorbents for the removal of PAHs and Phenols highlight the different efficacy extent. Phenols are observed to take the lead by showing more adsorption than PAHs. Larger molecular weight and fused aromaticity likely appear as hindrances to better retention of selected PAHs. It is concluded that Mesoporous silica better retains the liquid pollutants (metals, phenols) attributed to its larger surface area. Desorption for SBA-15 and MSU-H follows Type IV and Type I hysteresis, respectively. It is reported here that –phenyl and –methacrylate substituted ORMOSILS (PO and MO) did not construct the breakthrough curve and deformed because of non-sustainability under the applied temperature-pressure conditions. It is generally concluded from the results that basic silica framework offers good adsorptive properties. Further, adsorption in functionalized hybrids is facilitated through binding sites provided by organic moiety. The present study, thus, proposes a decontamination model for pollutants ranging from metal cations to gases. The efficient removal with regeneration capacity offer direct compliance to 3R principles. That is to Reduce (pollutants), Reuse and Recycle (functionalized hybrids/membranes). It is expected that these materials will help to reduce the pollution load on the environment. The possibility for commercialization of mixed matrix membrane is also important output of this research. The application of these materials in existing industrial processes is another avenue to find niches for applications in advanced waste water treatment technologies with no comprise on improved industrial production and sustainable environment.
