I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah

The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

a. What are they asking one another about?

78:02
a. Is it about the Great News of the Time of Final Judgment and its Correlatives?

78:03
a. The one about which they are in suspicion and disputing with you – O The Prophet.

78:04
a. But no!
b. They will soon know the truth of its reality!

78:05
a. And then, oh no!
b. They will soon know the truth of its reality!

78:06

اسلامی تعلیمات کی روشنی میں خواتین کی مثبت سرگرمیاں کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

The status, empowerment and dignity of woman in Islam is the crucial topic in the modern times. According to Islamic point of view, men and women have been created from a one soul. The main difference between them lies in the physical structure. A woman has to bring up, train and look after kids, which is the complicated task to civilize a nation. The issue of woman`s activities in Islam, is misunderstood and distorted due to misreporting of western media and misbehavior of some Muslim families. There is a large number of women scholars in Islamic history, Dr. Akram Nadwi has compiled the biographies of ten thousand female scholars in his commendable book of forty volumes. In educational system of Islam, a woman is completely free to perform educational activities for development of her nation. In social system of Islam, a woman is honored as mother, as daughter, as sister and as wife. The first converter to Islam was a woman, “Hazrat Khadijah (R.A)”. Hazrat Ayesha (R.A) was great scholar who reported many traditions from Holy Prophet( SAW). Many female Companions of Holy prophet( SAW) have performed great deeds even in the field of battlefield. There is a strong basis in Islamic history for women`s participation in positiveand constructive activities in every walk of life. Muslim women are allowed to perform research, educational, national,  religious, social, and financial and other constructive activities. In this research paper, Islamic overview has been described upon positive and constructive activities of women in the light of Islamic teachings.

Mapping Spatial Vegetation Patterns in Palas Valley, Kohistan, Pakistan Using Geographic Information System

The present study was carried out in Palas valley (NW Himalaya), Pakistan, known for its intact tracts of forests and aimed at mapping and monitoring of spatial vegetation patterns using Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing and statistical modeling techniques. A regional vegetation/landcover map was developed at 250m resolution by classifying MODIS normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) images of the year 2011 into six land-cover categories (Glaciers, Pastures, Conifers, Broadleaves, Shrubs and Built-up/agriculture) with an accuracy of >92%. Trends (progressive/regressive) in the regional land-cover conditions were then evaluated between the years 2000 to 2011. The statistical tests highlighted conifers as the most negatively affected land-cover type, whereas, built-up/agriculture land-cover types were dominated by progressive land-cover evolution. The tests further revealed that human population had significant role in modifying regional landcover conditions and associated fauna. A total of eight forest vegetation communities were determined in the valley through classification of floristic 1 data (2004-2007). These included Salix denticulata-Bergenia stracheyi-Geum elatum (SAL-BER-GEU), Betula utilis-Abies pindrow –Viburnum grandiflorum (BET-ABI-VIB), Picea smithiana-Abies pindrow- Viburnum grandiflorum (PIC-ABI-VIB), Juglans regia – Aesculus indica – Acer caesium (JUG-AES-ACC), Cedrus deodara-Quercus floribunda- Indigofera heterantha (CED-QUF-IND), Cedrus deodara-Parrotiopsis jacquemontiana – Pinus wallichiana (CED-PAR- PIN), Quercus baloot - Cotoneaster bacillaris – Cedrus deodara (QUB-COT-CED) and Quercus baloot-Olea ferruginea-Cotoneaster bacillaris (QUB-OLE-COT). The spatial distribution of communities was strongly correlated with elevation, aspect and heat load indices (p<0.05). In order to map the vegetation communities, generalized regression models with stepwise backward procedure were fitted for each community to determine its response against a set of predictor variables. The final models were then implemented in geographic information system to produce forest vegetation communities’ maps. The mapping results indicated that potentially 97231.5 ha of the study area (69.27%) is under forest vegetation out of which PIC-ABI-VIB community had greatest contribution (27.69 %). The forested area calculated for years 1992, 2001 and 2010 was 43886.61 (31.27 %), 38420.19 (27.37 %) and 33491.16 (23.86 %) ha respectively. The logistic regression models were used to determine the driving variables of forest/non-forest transitions. The results showed that locations near to roads but away from settlements were particularly vulnerable to deforestation and spatially concentrate in lower reaches. The simulation of forest cover up to year 2020 indicated that forest area may increase in future.
