ڈاکٹر سید عابد حسین
افسوس ہے پچھلے دنوں ڈاکٹر سید عابد حسین صاحب کاکم وبیش پچاسی برس کی عمر میں جامعہ نگر نئی دہلی میں انتقال ہوگیا۔ مرحوم ڈاکٹر ذاکر حسین صاحب کے ساتھ جامعہ ملیہ اسلامیہ کے اُن چند اولین معماروں میں سے تھے جنھوں نے اعلیٰ درجہ کے تعلیم یافتہ ہونے کے باوجود باہم عہد کیا تھا وہ گورنمنٹ کی یاکسی اورادارہ کی بڑی سے بڑی تنخواہ کی نوکری قبول نہیں کریں گے اورایک قلیل مشاہرہ پر جامعہ میہ اسلامیہ کی خدمت کریں گے، چنانچہ ڈاکٹر عابد حسین صاحب جرمنی سے فلسفہ میں پی۔ایچ ڈی کرنے کے بعد ہندوستان واپس آئے توایک بہت قلیل مشاہرہ پراپنے آپ کو جامعہ کی خدمت کے لیے وقف کردیا۔ اس زمانہ میں وہ فلسفہ کادرس دیتے اورانتظامی امور میں ڈاکٹر ذاکرحسین مرحوم کے دست راست بنے رہے۔ مرحوم اگرچہ فلسفہ کے ڈاکٹر تھے لیکن اردو فارسی شعر و ادب، سیاسیات، تعلیمات واخلاقیات، ان سب کا مطالعہ نہایت وسیع اورتصنیف تالیف اور ترجمہ کاذوق اعلیٰ اورپاکیزہ تھا، چنانچہ انھوں نے ہرموضوع پرلکھا اوربہت خوب لکھا، اس حیثیت سے وہ برصغیر کے بلند پایہ مصنف ومترجم تھے اُن کا اسلوب تحریر بڑاشگفتہ اورموثر تھا۔ ادھر گذشتہ چند برس سے انھوں نے اسلام اور عصر جدید سوسائٹی کے نام سے ایک ادارہ قائم کررکھا تھا جس کے وہ خود سیکرٹری تھے اوراس ادارہ کی طرف سے انگریزی اوراردو میں جو دو سہ ماہی رسالے شائع ہوتے تھے اُن کے ایڈیٹر تھے۔ اسلام اورعصر جدید(اردو)میں انھوں نے جو اداریے لکھے سنجیدہ طبقہ میں بہت مقبول ہوئے اوراُن کاایک مجموعہ کتابی شکل میں شائع ہوگیا۔ اخلاق وعادات کے اعتبار سے بڑے پایہ کے بزرگ اورجامعہ کی زندگی کانمونہ تھے۔ اُن کی فکر متوازن تھی،سادہ زندگی بسر کرتے تھے، طبیعت مرنجان ومرنج تھی۔ شعر بھی کہتے تھے مگر کم،وہ پرانی نسل کے ارباب ِقلم کی...

The Tradition of Innovation in Islamic Civilization: An Exclusive Study of Early Ages of Islam

اسلامی تہذیب میں تازہ کاری کی روایت: قرون اولی کا اختصاصی مطالعہ Islamic civilization was founded by the Holy Prophet (May blessings of Allah and peace be upon him) right from the beginning of Islam. Each civilization and every culture are deeply affected by the concurrent cultures and civilizations and it used to adopt and borrow many things from other civilizations. Similarly, Islamic civilization and culture borrowed many aspects from other prevailing civilizations. With the passing day, these intercultural relations and exchanges became the part and parcel of the Islamic civilization. Such communications, and they have marked all epochs in Islamic history, occur in greatly diverse ways. The Holy Prophet also approved some traditions in this regard and the four Caliphs adopted many customs too. This reflects the adoption and concluding from other civilizations is not prohibited in every case, but this adoption must not be against Islamic teachings. Now a days, the entire world has become a worldwide town because of internet and technological developments. It is relatively obvious that Muslims are adopting many things from western civilization and culture without knowing its legitimacy or illegitimacy. Resultantly, these activities apparently become the chunk of Islamic civilization. This investigation seeks guidance from golden period of Islam i.e. Early centuries of Islam and describes its validity or voidness. In this article, these experiences of Islamic civilization and culture in adopting and concluding from other civilizations and cultures have been conferred and their principles and opinion of the prominent scholars, in this context, been talked about in the light of Islamic teachings. This study will promulgate awareness about the tradition of innovation in Islamic civilization and will provide guidance to the new researchers about this topic.  

Phytochemical, Nutritional and Biological Screening of Selected Plants of Hazara

Present research work is based on nutritional, biological and antimicrobial investigation of wild edible plants of Hazara region of Pakistan. Ethnobotanical information was obtained from available literature and inhabitant of Mansehra, Abbottabad and Haripur district. The plants samples were analysed for nutritional components (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fibers, ash and energy vale), selected metals (Ca, Mn, Fe Mg, K and Na), phytochemical constituents (phenolics, flavonoids, flavonols and ascorbic acid) and antioxidant activity (DPPH scavenging activity) by using standard analytical methods. A total of 3 wild edible plant species including Malva neglecta, Pimpenela stewartii and Viola odorata were investigated in this study. Elemental analysis (mg/kg, dry weight) indicated that Ca exhibited highest average levels, followed by K, Mg and Na while lowest levels were observed for Mn and Fe in the Pimpenella stewartii, Malva neglecta and Viola odorata samples. Their concentrations were varying to different samples. The plants found rich in phytochemical contents and had good antioxidant activities. Significantly higher phenolics, flavonoids, ascorbic acid contents and antioxidant activities were observed in Pimpenella stewartii. The higher concentration of alkaloids was found in Pimpenella stewartii than Viola odorata. The Pimpenella stewartii and Malva neglecta have higher concentration of flavonoids than Viola odorata. The phenolic compounds were found in Pimpenella stewartii and Viola odorata in higher concentration than Malva neglecta. Malva neglecta has relatively low amount of saponins than Pimpenella stewartii and Viola odorata. The Diterpenoids and Triterpenoids were present in all the extracts of Pimpenella stewartii, Malva neglecta and Viola odorata in considerable amounts. Glycosides and Cardiac glycosides were found only in Malva neglecta in low quanitity. Coumarins were also present in Malva neglecta in good quantity but absent in other two plants whereas, tanins were not present in any of three selected plant species. The moisture content was highest in Pimpenella steawartii (9%) and lowest in Viola odorata (6.9 %) and Malva neglecta (6.5%). The ash content was highest in Malva neglecta (17.5%) followed by Viola odorata (13.2%) and Pimpenella stewartii (10.4%). The crude protein content was 5.51%, 4.37%, 3.31% in Pimpenella stewartii, Malva neglecta and Viola odorata respectively. Crude fiber content was found highest in Viola odorata (23.20%) followed by Malva neglecta (21.5%) and lowest in Pimpenella stewartii (12.19%). Lipid content was highest in Viola odorata (12.10%), low in Pimpenella stewartii (3.20%) and lowest in Malva neglecta (2.65%). Carbohydrate content was highest in Pimpenella stewartii (61.9%) and lowest in Malva neglecta (28.70%) and Viola odorata (28.30). The free radical scavenging activity of all the extracts and standard ascorbic acid at lowest concentration of 62.5 ppm and highest 1000 ppm concentrations follows the general order of Ascorbic acid> Pimpenella stewartii> Viola odorata>Malva neglecta. Minimum IC50 value for antioxidant activity was demonstrated by ascorbic acid (< 10 ppm) followed by Malva neglecta (157 ppm), Pimpenella stewartii (205 pmm) and Viola odorata (260 ppm) respectively.The comparative efficacy of the crude, methanolic, ethanolic and phenolic extracts of Pimpenella stewartii was investigated against E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subitilis, Kleibshiela spp., Clostridium tetani and Mycobacterium spp. Ethanolic extract of Pimpenella stewartii showed highest zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus (16.67mm) and lowest was found in methanolic extract against Kleibshiela spp (6.7 mm) as compared to control (19mm). The crude extract of Malva neglecta showed highest activity (18.3) against E.coli and lowest (7mm) against B.subtilis as compared to control (21.33). Crude extract of Viola odorata showed highest zone of inhibition (18.67mm) against Mycobacterium and lowest (7.3mm) against Kleibshiela spp as compared to control (20.33). The antimicrobial activity of Viola odorata was also compared with Balsamodendron myrrha against Klesbella pneumonia, E.coli, Pseudomonas, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterococcus. The highest antifungal activity (18.60mm) was showed by Viola odorata in ethanolic extract against Aspergillus niger and lowest activity of Viola odorata was found in crude extract (11.00mm) against Mucor hiemalis. The Malava neglecta showed highest antifungal activity (18.00mm) in crude extract against Aspergillus niger and lowest activity in crude extract (6.00mm) against Mucor hiemalis. Pimpenella stewartii showed highest antifungal activity (16.67mm) in methanolic extract against Aspergillous flavus and ethanolic extract against Aspergillus niger, whereas lowest activity of Pimpenella stewartii was found in methanolic extract (6.7mm) against Mucor hiemalis. The Viola odorata exhibited alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity (upto 72.0%), and alpha-amylase enzyme (upto 45.7%) at concentration of 1mg/ml followed by Malva neglecta extract which showed inhibitory effect on alpha-glucosidase enzyme (upto 58.50.0%), and alpha-amylase enzyme (upto 38.30%) at concentration of 1mg/ml. The minimum antidiabetic activity was observed in Pimpenella stewartii which showed inhibitory effect on alpha-glucosidase enzyme (upto 16.76.0%), and alpha-amylase enzyme (upto 32.9%) at concentration of 1mg/ml. All the three plants Pimpenella stewartii, Malva neglecta and Viola odorata showed good brine shrimp larvicidal activity. Maximum mortalities (76.6%) were observed at a concentration of 1 ppm in Malva neglecta followed by 63.66 % at a concentration of 100 ppm in the same plant. The lowest value was found 36.66% at a concentration of 100 ppm of Viola odorata. Among the three plants extracts, Malva neglecta showed the highest growth inhibition of lemna minor followed by Viola odorata at the same dose whereas Pimpenella stewartii showed the lowest mortality of Lemna minor.
