ABSTRACT
Homosexuality is one of the behavioral phenomena that humanity has been affected with since ancient times. The Glorious Qur’an referred to this issue through the story of the people of Lot and their immoral actions. Over time, this phenomenon has fluctuated in prevalence, but it has been significantly increased in the modern era due to several factors, including the development of communication technologies and the efforts of some international organizations and Western countries to legalize homosexuality, permit same-sex marriage, and protect homosexual rights.
Given the impact of these developments on Islamic societies, this study aims to clarify the Islamic rulings on homosexuality from a legal and objectives-based perspective that aligns with human nature — a central concern of Islamic law. The research addresses the legal foundations of these rulings through Qur’anic and Prophetic texts, reviews the opinions of scholars and Islamic schools of thought, and analyzes the psychological and social effects of this phenomenon on individuals and society.
The study adopts both inductive and analytical methodologies to highlight the Islamic legal objectives (maqāṣid al-sharīʿah) behind the prohibition of homosexuality- particularly the preservation of lineage, morality, and social stability.

ABSTRACT
It is no secret to people of knowledge and insight that the Sunnah is the second source of legislation after the Glorious Qur'an. It explains it, restricts its absolute meanings, and specifies its generalities. Therefore, our righteous predecessors paid attention to it throughout every era, generation after generation, until it reached us, preserved in our hearts and in our writings, with chains of transmission and texts. This is a characteristic for which our nation is known, unlike any other. No nation has preserved the traces of its Prophet like ours. Part of this attention was to identify the obscure narrators in the Musnad of Ibn al-Ja'd - the Musnad of the Tribes - by collecting the chains of transmission of each of these hadiths in which there was ambiguity, in order to arrive at the name of the obscure narrator.

ABSTRACT
Seeking knowledge is one of the most important topics that preoccupies Muslims of all levels of knowledge. Sharia knowledge is what connects a Muslim to his Lord. Just as Islamic law is the law that is valid for all times and places, it must keep pace with the modern era. Therefore, I have explained the Sharia ruling on seeking knowledge electronically. I do not see any objection to that if it is done according to controls and conditions. Seeking knowledge through traditional methods is no different from seeking it electronically in terms of legitimacy. However, I believe that seeking knowledge electronically facilitates many matters that are among the difficulties facing the seeker of knowledge through traditional methods. In the modern era, it is difficult for a seeker of knowledge to devote himself completely to seeking knowledge through traditional methods. A person cannot leave work and earning a living to devote himself to seeking knowledge. Also, seeking knowledge through traditional methods requires traveling and devoting time, which makes it difficult for the seeker of knowledge. Also, some people with special needs find it difficult to seek knowledge due to the difficulty of travel and movement. Also, women may find it difficult to leave their homes to seek knowledge due to the domestic responsibilities that fall on their shoulders. Seeking knowledge electronically overcomes all these difficulties for them, and its merit is conditional upon the availability of the conditions of validity. The application and its etiquette, taking into account the shortcomings and working to avoid them

ABSTRACT
In his critique of Shahrur\'s view of synonymy, Al-Saqqar explains that Shahrur denied the existence of synonymy in the Arabic language and the Glorious Quran, which contradicts the positions of the linguistic and legal heritage. Al-Saqqar believes that synonymy was a linguistic research issue within the heritage, and was not a subject of controversy as in the contemporary reading proposed by Shahrur. Al-Saqqar believes that Shahrur\'s denial of synonymy leads to the presentation of a new and confused conception of Islam. In this research, the researcher adopted the descriptive approach to analyze Muhammad Shahrur\'s contemporary reading of the issue under study. He also followed this descriptive approach in presenting Suhaib Al-Saqqar\'s critique of that reading. He then employed the analytical approach to establish a critical methodology for the contemporary reading of the Glorious Quran.

ABSTRACT
The Great Creator, Glory be to Him, is thanked by His creatures for the gift of paving the Earth, without which man, no matter how great he is, would not have been able to exploit his various powers to overcome problems and pave this land. Therefore, he will be able to live on it and establish any form of civilization, no matter how simple and primitive it is.
If paving the earth were not a major matter, the sons of Adam would not have thanked Almighty Allah for it. We must carefully consider the details of this introduction by studying the earth and its relationship to the planets around it, and studying the laws that Almighty Allah has placed on it so that they are compatible with the vital nature of man and his various needs to remain alive. It will multiply and colonize the earth and build its civilizations there until the Doomsday comes.
The most important characteristic of soil microorganisms, in addition to the above, is their effective role in completing the carbon and nitrogen cycles in nature, because they are among the most important elements that plants need during their growth stages. The carbon cycle consists of converting carbon dioxide into organic forms and then returning it to its mineral state.

ABSTRACT
This research tackles the narrators of the old differences regarding the ruling on fasting on the day of Ashura. Some of them reported that fasting on it was obligatory at first, then it was abrogated and became a Sunnah. Some of them said that it was recommended and not obligatory, and some of them saw it as desirable. Conversely, some of them narrated that this day should not be fasted unless it coincides with a day that the fasting person is accustomed to fasting on, such as a Monday or a Thursday. They also differ regarding the reason on which fasting on the day of Ashura was based. A group said that it is a day that the people of ignorance venerated, so the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, fasted it in Mecca, then he fasted it after the migration and ordered that it must be fasted. A group said that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to Medina, he found the Jews fasting on this day because it is the day on which Allah saved Moses, peace be upon him, and destroyed Pharaoh. So he, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “We are more close to Moses than they are,” so he fasted it and ordered that it must be fasted. At the end of his life, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, he wanted to go against the Jews, so he said, “If I live until next year, I will fast on the ninth,” with the intention of going against the Jews. But he did not live until Muharram of the next year and he died before this time. His saying: (I will fast on the ninth) is understood in two ways: either the ninth instead of the tenth of Muharram to differ from the Jews, or combining the ninth with the tenth. In another narration, he said (fast a day before it or a day after it and differ from the Jews). From here comes the importance of studying fasting on the day of Ashura in the Prophet’s biography.

ABSTRACT
This research examines the rulings on circumcision according to the Shafi'i school of jurisprudence. Shafi'is are considered one of the schools of jurisprudence that adopt balanced views on this matter. In this research, we will review the legal evidence related to circumcision, the points of disagreement among jurists, when it is recommended or obligatory, and the resulting health and social consequences.
By analyzing religious texts and scholarly opinions, the research seeks to provide a comprehensive vision that clarifies the status of circumcision in Islamic law and explains the practices followed in various Islamic societies. Some modern views on the subject will also be addressed, contributing to a deeper understanding of the rulings on circumcision in the Shafi'i context. The topic of "Rulings on Circumcision in Islamic Law According to the Shafi'i School" is one of the most important topics, and is considered of great importance. This is achieved by exploring some of the rulings related to circumcision, both for males and females, and presenting them in light of the objectives of Islamic law.
