This study aims to analyze the rhythm and its artistic beauty, as highlighted by numerous critics who recognized the effectiveness of rhythm in creating a poetic text of high literary quality. The research examines this feature through one of the criteria of modern criticism—phonetic cohesion, which refers to the poet's ability to employ language in a way that achieves complete harmony between the poem’s words and the rhythm of its sounds, ultimately enhancing meaning.The study adopts an inductive-analytical approach, investigating phonetic cohesion at two levels: Metrical structure, focusing on prosody, meter, and rhyme. Phonetic phenomena, such as sound density, repetition, and other phonetic features that reflect the poet's emotional intensity and contribute to the poem’s imagery.The findings reveal the poet’s skill in constructing a cohesive rhythmic structure, governing the poem’s fabric through external rhythm (meter and rhyme) and internal rhythm (syntactic and lexical arrangement, including repetition and antithesis). This phonetic cohesion played a crucial role in the success of the poetic experience.The poem exhibits a harmonious phonetic cohesion across its verses, aligning perfectly with its themes. This cohesion grants the poem artistic and rhythmic value, captivating the reader’s mind through a rich array of linguistic and phonetic techniques. These elements create a powerful, dynamic rhythm and an emotional melody that encapsulates the poet’s experience, reinforcing its impact on the audience.

The third topic focuses on engraved or painted images of living beings displayed on walls, whereas the fourth examines the ruling on degraded or dishonored drawn images. Finally, the fifth topic addresses the ruling on decorating homes with photographic images of living beings. This study aims to provide a clear understanding of the jurisprudential rulings on these matters, drawing upon Islamic legal evidence and scholars\' opinions.

This research seeks to reveal the extent to which poets in Moroccan epic poetry benefit from the religious heritage represented by the Holy Quran and the Noble Prophet Traditions in terms of form and content in their poetic production, and the way they employ its texts, taking into account that employing religious texts in poetry is one of the most successful means. It attempts to highlight the ability of the Moroccan epic poets to benefit from Quranic and Prophet texts in producing meaning in poetic texts to show the depth of choice and the effectiveness of religious employment in poetry, which constituted an important part of their poetic texts. The research relied on the descriptive and analytical approach and recalling the quotation from the Quranic and Prophet text whether in word, structure, or meaning, then employing it in the Moroccan epic collections, and explaining its role in highlighting the meanings intended by the poet to greatly influence the recipient. The significance of the research lies in explaining the beauty of the structure and the poet\\'s good invocation of the religious text, as a pillar on which he relies in building his poems and his vision of the lived reality and the future.

Ahmed Rami\'s poetry is famous for forming artistic images that reflect his poetic creativity and the depth of his artistic vision. The formation of images in his poetry varies between visual, auditory, and metaphorical images, which gives his works distinct artistic touches. Rami uses visual images to convey aesthetics and vitality, while he relies on auditory images to create sound and rhythmic effects. In addition, he highlights his use of metaphorical images that reflect philosophical insights and deep emotions. The formation of artistic images is evident in Ahmed Rami’s poetry as an artistic means of conveying ideas and feelings in an innovative and inspiring manner, which makes his poetry the focus of attention of readers and those searching for beauty and creativity in contemporary Arabic poetry. The image is among the most important artistic elements that play a decisive role in building his literary work, as it contributes to enhancing the imaginative and aesthetic aspect of this work. The image was the focus of great attention by Ahmed Rami, and the poetic image creates a living and beautiful painting under the leadership of our poet Ahmed Rami, as he relies on the language mixed in his mind. Through these various factors, the poet creates an image that highlights his creativity within a special linguistic framework. In this context, we will try in this article to reveal the linguistic and terminological concept of the poetic image, and that the poetic images in his poetic text play an important role in conveying the content and conveying feelings and ideas in a deep and attractive way. In this article, we will try to reveal the linguistic and terminological concept of the poetic image, and that the poetic images in his poetic text play an important role in conveying the content and conveying feelings and ideas in a deep and attractive way.

This research is a study and investigation of a manuscript in which Ibn Kamal Pasha explained Sharh Almaqalah Almufradah Fi Tahqiq Sifat Alkalam by its author, Judge Adhod Al-Din Al-Iji (D. 756 AH), in which he explained the views of the famous sects on the issue of the speech of God Almighty, And discuss some of their arguments, then verified the opinion of Imam Al-Ash\\\\'ari: Sifat Alkalam includes meaning and expression. Ibn Kamal Pasha followed the analytical method in his explanation, as he analyzed the words of the text of the Almaqalah Almufradah and explained what clarification requires of their meanings, using various sources from the science of theology and language.

Verily, the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) are the best of creation after the Prophets and Messengers; Allah the Exalted praised and sanctified them in His Book, and His Messenger (peace be upon him) likewise extolled them in his Sunnah. This study examines an issue pertaining to these eminent figures - namely, the extent to which their doctrinal approach should be adopted. The research first identifies the points on which scholars have reached unanimous agreement, and then highlights the areas of divergence by clarifying the various opinions and evidences, and by discussing those issues that merit further deliberation. It subsequently evaluates these positions and, through evidential analysis and reasoned discussion, favors the adoption of the Companion’s doctrine. Finally, the study applies this conclusion to various sub-disciplines within the four juristic schools accepted by the Muslim community, after presenting the view of the founding Imam of each school on accepting and invoking the statements of the Companions-thereby setting aside their individual opinions and independent ijtihad in favor of this approach.

Scholars have devoted significant efforts to serving the Holy Qur’an and its sciences, producing numerous works that reflect their deep engagement. Among these contributions, grammarians have played a crucial role in analyzing and interpreting the Qur’anic text through syntactic and rhetorical studies. One such scholar is Al-Mufaddal ibn Salama Al-Kufi, whose contributions to Qur’anic interpretation merit closer examination. Despite the absence of a dedicated Tafsir work attributed to him, this study aims to explore his interpretative methodology by analyzing key aspects of his approach.

The purified Sunnah of the Prophet is considered the second source of legislation in Islam after the Qur’an. Since the time of the Companions, the righteous predecessors have always relied on the Sunnah in interpreting the Qur’an. They developed an explicit approach to interpretation by taking the apparent meaning of the verses to interpret one another, then taking the hadiths that interpret the Qur’an, then the generality of the language. Controls and rules for interpretation according to reliance on the Sunnah, were the second source of legislation and the second source of interpretation. Al-Tahir Ibn Ashour was one of the most prominent commentators who adopted this approach in interpretation. He would not pass by a word without inferring its meaning from the text or a grammatical issue without inferring the apparent meaning of the Sunnah in its determination or a jurisprudential issue except that he returned to the language in its determination and interpretation, and it was represented by many hadiths. From the Sunnah of the Prophet in his interpretation, especially in the verses of rulings, so his first reliance was on the Sunnah, then the Arabic language.

This research presents a study and verification of a manuscript titled \"What Was Granted Specifically to the Prophet ﷺ in His Essence in the Hereafter.\" The manuscript is a part of the book \"Fath Al-Qarib bi Sharh Mawahib Al-Mujib\" by Imam Ahmad bin Ali Al-Minini (d. 1172 AH). The research is divided into two main sections. The first section explores the personal and scholarly life of Imam Al-Minini, followed by a detailed study on the authentication of the manuscript, its copies, the researcher\'s methodology in verification, and attached images of the manuscript. The second section focuses on the verified text and its study, highlighting the distinction of the Muhammadan Ummah in the

The story of the wild bull, in pre-Islamic poetic heritage, encompassed numerous symbols, allusions, and references. Shaping pre-Islamic poetry into an almost entirely mythical form. Poets utilized the bull\'s story in diverse ways, though we observe apparent similarities in the details of this part. These variations depend on the poets\' artistic abilities and the depth of their emotional engagement, as seen in the works of Imru\'a Al-Qais and Abdah ibn Et-Tabib. They differ in narrating the details of the story of the wild bull, as well as in presenting it in a detailed complete manner or in a concise form. What surprised us, is the scarcity of texts recounting the story of the wild bull in the collections of both poets, despite their renowned prominence and distinguished status. We found only two texts, that addressed the story of the wild bull.

In this research, I discussed the statement of Al-Hafidh Al-Aqili, “He is not famous in transmission,” and explained the extent of its influence on the narrator’s narration. I explained in the folds of the narrators’ biographies the importance of the narrator’s fame and that fame has an effect on the narration, whether accepted or rejected. I explained that the narrators about whom this statement was said are of two types: one of them is unknown and not known, and another type is known to scholars, but they are not famous.

Quranic intertextuality is one of the most prominent literary phenomena that have appeared in Arabic literary texts throughout the ages, as it is represented in the use of Quranic texts from the Holy Quran, the Prophet\'s Hadith, and religious heritage in the new literary text. The poet Ahmed Al-Khayal is considered one of the poets who resort to Quranic intertextuality because of the sanctity and influence of the religious text on the souls of the recipients, and because of the credibility and depth it adds to the literary text. Quranic intertextuality also contributes to strengthening the message that the writer wants to convey by invoking the sacred texts and employing them in new contexts that serve his poetic or prose experience. Hence, the researcher chose to study Quranic intertextuality in the poems of the poet Ahmed Al-Khayal, where he initially addressed the generalities of the research from the questions, objectives, and previous studies, then addressed the theory of intertextuality and its laws, and devoted a section to the poet\'s life and literature. In his study, the researcher adpted this descriptive analytical approach and dealt with the theoretical framework of the Quranic intertextuality found in one of the poet\'s poetry collections, \"The Prayer of Water and Wheat\", in order to reveal the extent of the poet\'s influence from the Quranic text. The research also reveals the types of Quranic intertextuality in the poet\'s poems. At the end of the research, the researcher reached some results, the most important of which are: The Iraqi poet Ahmed Al-Khayal succeeded in employing the Quranic text in a deep artistic and intellectual manner, transcending the level of verbal embellishment and stylistic ornamentation to broader creative horizons. This was clearly demonstrated in his ability to invest the suggestive energies of the Quranic text and reproduce its connotations in contemporary contexts, while preserving the sanctity of the original text and its spiritual essence.

The research aims to study the mythical dimension in narrative fiction through the novel Taghribat al-Qafir by Zharan al-Qasimi. Taghribat al-Qafir is a mythical journey about the irony of water mocking the pains of the thirsty and a mythical birth from the womb of a drowned mother, leading to the protagonist\\\\'s odyssey through water. Set in an Omani village in an unspecified time, the novel begins with the death of Al-Qafir\\\\'s mother and ends with the death of Al-Qafir himself. In both instances, death is followed by fertility, greenery, and prosperity. Through a continuous interplay between reality and myth, the author constructs a tightly woven narrative and a transparent poetic language by crafting intriguing characters that play a fundamental role in people\\\\'s lives while simultaneously evoking their aversion and fear. In this way, Zharan al-Qasimi brings us closer to an unconventional setting for contemporary novels—a setting of valleys and aflaj (traditional irrigation systems) in Oman, exploring the impact of nature on humans.

Rudūsi Zādah followed in the footsteps of his predecessors among the leading grammarians, particularly those of the Basran school, in his book Īḍāḥ al-Kāfiyya. He cited the Holy Qur\'an to establish grammatical rules and reinforce his opinions—unsurprising, given that the Qur\'an is the most authentic source for linguistic evidence. He referenced Qur\'anic verses in various parts of his book, reaching a total of eighty verses. However, he limited his citations to the relevant portion of the verse rather than quoting the full text. At times, he cited only a single verse, while in other instances, he supported his argument by citing two or more verses in the same context to strengthen his point. Additionally, he sometimes reinforced his Qur\'anic evidence with quotations from Arab speech. Notably, he prioritized the Qur\'an over other texts when providing linguistic evidence for grammatical issues. Thus, I found that the author did not deviate from the approach of early grammarians in his use of Qur\'anic citations.

This research study aims to make a significant contribution by highlighting and elucidating the educational thought of the honorable Companion Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and the importance of Islamic education, which represents the methodology that ensures the practical implementation of Islamic law. Islam is not merely a theoretical or intellectual domain; rather, it seeks to be practically applied. The Prophet’s companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were nurtured through the prophetic educational approach, which enabled them to change the course of history, transform human lives, and rescue nations and societies from polytheism, moral corruption, discord, and animosity. This study explores how they became leaders in education, righteousness, and reform within their societies. Furthermore, the study seeks to highlight and examine Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr’s educational thought by delving into his biography, virtues, and contributions. The structure of this research consists of an introduction, three main sections, and a conclusion. The first section discusses his birth and upbringing, the second focuses on his migration, participation in battles, and martyrdom, while the third section is dedicated to analyzing his educational thought.One of the key findings of this research is that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), particularly Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr, placed great emphasis on education. This is evident in his efforts to spread Islam in Medina and educate its people, which had a profound and transformative impact on the city\'s social and religious environment.

The religious authority in Iraq, particularly the authority of Sayyed Al-Sistani, has played a significant and effective role in the country's political and social life. This influence is evidenced by the statements and messages issued by the authority's office, along with the religious sermons delivered by its representatives in Karbala. These communications often include recommendations, guidance, and advice aimed at educating Iraqi society. From the very beginning of the US occupation, Sayyed Al-Sistani has been committed to helping the Iraqi people navigate this crisis.
Additionally, the Holy Najaf authority played a crucial role in preserving the lives of the Iraqi people and mitigating the sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia communities during the critical years of 2007 and 2008. This period is regarded as a pivotal crisis in modern Iraqi history. This article analyzes Sayyed Al-Sistani’s messages during the sectarian war using the Practical Discourse Analysis Method (PDAM). It examines the religious authority's role in resolving this conflict and the significance of Sayyed Al-Sistani’s words in influencing the turbulent social environment of that time. The researcher employed an analytical-historical method, relying on systematic historical data and eyewitness accounts from the period. It is important to note that the results of this research highlight the sensitivity of the internal situation in Iraq and underscore the importance of the Religious Authority in swiftly addressing crises.

Oil coupons have emerged as one of the modern means of economic transactions, as they seek to facilitate access to resources and provide benefits to consumers, but at the same time they have raised jurisprudential questions related to the ruling on their issuance, their legal nature, and the legitimacy of their sale.The research addressed the issue of selling oil coupons granted to citizens in Iraq as a means of organizing the fair distribution of kerosene among those entitled to it. The research reviews the regulatory framework of these coupons, as they are issued free of charge by the state in order to facilitate citizens' access to its oil resources. The research addresses the jurisprudential problems related to the legitimacy of selling these coupons and their legal nature. The research discussed the concept of coupons as a regulatory and not commercial means, explaining that they represent documents that allow their holder the right to obtain a specific quantity of oil within certain time and place conditions. The research also addressed the legal provisions related to selling coupons before receiving the product, concluding that it is permissible to sell them within legal limits and controls related to the transfer of ownership and receipt of the commodity, taking into account religious texts that prohibit the sale of food before receiving it. The research highlighted the need to regulate these transactions to ensure justice, while warning against transactions that encourage ignorance or monopoly. The research included recommendations to establish clear regulations for these coupons, enhance citizens’ awareness of Sharia provisions, and develop electronic systems to ensure the availability of oil resources in a way that reduces disputes and ignorance. The research concluded by emphasizing the importance of the role of Islamic jurisprudence in addressing economic developments in a way that achieves a balance between Sharia provisions and practical regulation, and invited researchers and jurists to conduct more applied jurisprudential studies in this field.

This study examines and authenticates the rare manuscript Bughiyat al-Muktafi fi Jawaz al-Mas’h ‘ala al-Khuff al-Hanafi by Sheikh Abdul Ghani al-Nabulsi al-Hanafi. The manuscript addresses the jurisprudential issue of wiping over leather socks (khuff) and other types of footwear, considering classical scholarly debates and contemporary developments. Given the increasing need for clarity on rulings related to modern socks, particularly short socks that do not cover the ankles, this study explores their legal status. A single handwritten manuscript was critically analyzed, verified against primary sources, and supplemented with authenticated hadiths, explanations of rare terms, and precise documentation. The research aims to revive this valuable heritage, presenting it in a scholarly manner to benefit students of Islamic law and the broader Muslim community. The findings affirm that the permissibility of wiping over footwear is well established in the Sunnah and scholarly consensus, with differences primarily concerning the specific conditions and types of socks permissible for wiping.

This study explores the prophetic hadiths that highlight the virtues of Ajwa dates from Madinah, focusing on their collective narration and chains of transmission. Ajwa dates hold a special status in the Prophetic Sunnah, as several hadiths emphasize their benefits. Among these is the well-known hadith recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stated: “Whoever eats seven Ajwa dates in the morning will not be harmed by poison or magic that day.” Additionally, Al-Tirmidhi narrates a hadith in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Ajwa dates are from Paradise, and in them is a cure for poison.” Another narration by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) highlights the unique properties of Ajwa dates from the Aliyah region of Madinah, affirming their healing and protective qualities. These hadiths underscore the significance of Ajwa dates in Islamic tradition, particularly their health and preventive benefits, with a special emphasis on those cultivated in Aliyah.

This article addresses the topic of "textual interweaving relationships in the Epistle of Rights by Imam Ali bin Al-Hussein, peace be upon them, in light of text linguistics according to De Beaugrand's theory" Interweaving is one of the most important textual criteria proposed by De Beaugrand in modern linguistic studies. Interweaving is one of the criteria that achieve textual cohesion, Interweaving is mentioned in language dictionaries as including the meanings of rulings, perfection, and improvement of craftsmanship, There are textual interweaving relationships or semantic relationships in the Epistle of Rights. They are the links between concepts, and each link carries a kind of designation for the concept to which it is linked by carrying a description or a ruling on it, or determining a form or shape for it. It may appear in the form of linguistic links, clear in the appearance of the text, and sometimes they are implicit relationships that the recipient adds to the text. We will discuss the most important of these relationships present in the texts of the Epistle of Rights.

This study addresses one of the major theological issues that has preoccupied Muslim scholars throughout history. It aims to examine the various perspectives of theologians regarding the eternal nature or perishability of Paradise and Hell, analyzing the philosophical and textual foundations of each doctrine. The researcher employed both the analytical and critical methods to present the theological arguments, drawing from scriptural sources (the Qur'an and Sunnah) as well as rational and philosophical reasoning.The findings of the study highlight that the issue of the perishability of Paradise and Hell is a matter of interpretation and does not affect the core tenets of Islamic belief. The study also sheds light on the intellectual diversity within the Islamic tradition, promotes a deeper understanding of religious texts free from rigidity or extremism, and provides a comprehensive and balanced view of this sensitive eschatological matter. Furthermore, it draws attention to the deviation of theological sects that advocated for the perishability of Paradise and Hell, including the Jahmiyya, Hadhliyya, and Karramiyya.
