80. ‘Abasa/looked indifferently

80. ‘Abasa/looked indifferently

I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah

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

80:01
a. He contracted his brows - looked indifferently - and turned his face,

80:02
a. when the blind person came to him.

80:03
a. And what made you think that he, being a believer, may ask you and seek to purify himself,

80:04
a. or you would have guided him and he would have heard words of guidance and thus guidance from you would have benefited him.

80:05
a. Now as for the one who showed through his attitude that he had no need of guidance because of his wealth and social status -

80:06
a. and you were attending to him with full attention,

80:07
a. though you will not be answerable if he would not purify himself from disbelief?

80:08
a. But for the blind one who came to you with full of eagerness to learn,

80:09
a. and he was in awe of Allah,

80:10
a. you did not attend to him - you ignored him.

80:11
a. No, do not be so!
b. Indeed, this is a Reminder -

714 Surah 80 * ‘Abasa

80:12
a. So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it - Reminder.

80:13
a. The Qur’an is inscribed in pages of great esteem,

80:14
a. exalted and perfectly purified of any falsehood,

80:15
a. borne by the hands of scriber - angel envoys -

حضرت آدم علیہ السلام بائبل اور قرآن کى روشنى میں

Hazrat Sayyedna Adam (A.S) was the first man and the first prophet. Both Quran and Bible reveal that he was made from clay and was housed in Heavens. There was a most complete freedom for Sayyedna Adam (A.S) except of going near a forbidden tree. Iblees conducted an evil plan and tempted him to taste the fruit of the tree. This let to his descent on Earth. This study attempts to make a comparative analysis of Hazrat Sayyedna Adam (A.S)‘s Incident as mentioned in the Quran and the Bible.

Evaluation of Different Cropping Patterns under Command Area of Small Dams in Pothwar: A Case Study of Pira Fatehal Dam

Small dams have been constructed in Pothwar region with huge investment for supplementary irrigation. However, farmers in command area (the area around the dam where the irrigation water reaches or that can be irrigated from a dam and is fit for cultivation) of small dams have not benefited from this precious water and are still doing traditional agriculture such as summer fallowing etc. Non-existence of suitable cropping pattern may be one reason. Therefore, different cropping patterns (i) fallow-wheat (Fallow-Triticum aestivum) (CP-1), (ii) mash bean - wheat (Vigna mungo-Triticum aestivum) (CP-2), (iii) sorghum - wheat (Sorghum bicolor-Triticum aestivum) (CP-3), (iv) maize (grain) - wheat (Zea mays-Triticum aestivum) (CP-4), (v) maize (grain) - chick pea (Zea mays-Cicer arietinum) (CP-5) and (vi) mung bean - canola (Vigna radiata -Brassica napus) (CP-6) were evaluated for agro economic efficiencies under command area of Pira fatehal dam as well as for adjacent uncommand or rain-fed area, on sandy loam soil for two years. Highest grain yield of wheat (winter crops) was obtained from mash beanwheat (Vigna mungo-Triticum aestivum) (CP-2) as compared to those from maize-wheat (Zea mays-Triticum aestivum) (CP-4), fallow-wheat (fallow-Triticum aestivum) (CP-1) and sorghum - wheat (Sorghum bicolour-Triticum aestivum) (CP-3) cropping patterns, respectively, under both the environments. Chick pea grain yield remained lowest under both the environments. Regarding summer crops, sorghum fodder (Sorghum bicolour), maize grain (Zea mays) and mash bean (Vigna mungo) performed excellent in terms of economic and grain yield. On the other hand, mung bean (Vigna radiata) reflected poor response for grain yield under both the environment. Benefit cost ratio of 7.17% and 5.35% for mash bean-wheat (Vigna mungo-Triticum aestivum) (CP-2) was highest under both the environments, while lowest benefit cost ratio (5.12 %) was exhibited from maizechick pea (Zea mays-Cicer arietinum) (CP-5) under irrigated and (1.37%) 19 from mung bean-canola (Vigna radiata -Brassica napus) (CP-6) under rain-fed environment, respectively. Highest net returns were obtained from maize-wheat (Zea mays-Triticum aestivum) (CP-4) cropping pattern under irrigated while from mash bean-wheat (Vigna mungo-Triticum aestivum) (CP-2) cropping pattern under rainfed environment. Mung bean-canola (Vigna radiata -Brassica napus) (CP-6) proved the lowest in terms of net returns from both the environments. Highest marginal rate of return was exhibited by mash bean-wheat (Vigna mungo-Triticum aestivum) (CP- 2) when compared with fallowwheat (Fallow-Triticum aestivum) (CP-1), while maize-wheat (Zea mays-Triticum aestivum) (CP-4) and sorghum - wheat (Sorghum bicolour-Triticum aestivum) (CP-3) ranked 2nd and 3rd on marginal rate of return basis in the same comparison, under irrigated environment. On the other hand, mash bean-wheat (Vigna mungo-Triticum aestivum) (CP2) ranked 1st and mung beancanola (Vigna radiata -Brassica napus) (CP-6) ranked 2nd when compared with fallow-wheat (Fallow-Triticum aestivum) (CP-1) for marginal rate of return in rainfed environment. Water use efficiency of wheat, following mash bean under both the environments exhibited higher values when compared with those from sorghumwheat, fallow-wheat and maize-wheat cropping patterns. Mung bean showed poor response among all the cropping patterns for exhibiting water use efficiency under both environments. Cropping intensities (of 200 %) from all the cropping patterns except fallow-wheat (100%) were recorded from both the environments. During the course of study, 2nd year summer and winter crops received higher rainfalls than that of first year, which affected the economic yields of crops under rain-fed environment, where as performance of all crops remained better under irrigated environment during both the seasons and years, as below average rainfalls were compensated by supplementary irrigations. Hence, this study concludes that farmers having supplemental irrigation water resources should adopt maize (grain)– 20 wheat (Zea mays-Triticum aestivum) (CP-4) cropping pattern, based on economical return as well as efficient utilization of available supplemental water, whereas, based on improved nutrient utilization and monetary outputs, mash bean-wheat (Vigna mungo-Triticum aestivum) (CP-2) cropping pattern should be followed under rainfed areas for better resource management. Also summer fallowing practice is not economical for farmers under both irrigated and rain-fed environments.
