The study aims to examine the uniqueness of Imam Hasan Al-Askari (PBUH) in the Quranic interpretation of certain terms, which showed his distinctiveness in the interpretation. His belonging to the great Hashemite household represents the thought of the pure progeny, in which the principles, educational and moral values were embodied in their interpretations and narrations due to their close connection with the Greatest Messenger (peace be upon him and his pure household).
Imam Al-Askari’s interpretation has a great advantage, specificity, and uniqueness that distinguishes it from other interpretations. When we examine it, we find the silencing responses to various Islamic sects, including the Dahriyya (fatalists), the Dualists, the Jews, the Christians, and even the polytheists. It includes his interpretation of most of the terms mentioned in the Quran that are related to the Ahl Al-Bayt (prophet’s household) (PBUT) , such as his interpretation of the term "parents" in the Quran. In the narrations of the Ahl Al-Bayt (PBUT), there is confirmation of his interpretation based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his household): "I and Ali are the fathers of this nation." It also confirms the educational and moral guidance that came in the Quran, and the prohibition of bad societal habits and values, including his prohibition of arguing without right. The study is divided into two sections: the first section includes his blessed biography, and the second one studies the interpretation of Imam Al-Askari (PBUH) according to specific guidelines, using a descriptive analytical approach.

The discussion on the interpretation and explanation of the words of Imam Al-Sadiq (PBUH) is ongoing. Previously, we referred to the first part of it, and in this episode, we will address the explanation of the second part, which is the five matters mentioned by him (PBUH) in his saying: \"They are: the soundness of creation,...\" and what follows from that explanation.
These five matters are another expression for the capability that Allah (Exalted is He) has made a proof upon humans. Whoever possesses it and does not comply with the command of the Lord (Glory be to Him) is condemned and held accountable before Allah (Exalted is He). Whoever loses all or some of it is excused accordingly.
This means that a person is free in his actions, neither compelled nor has complete free will, but is surrounded by a set of rulings that Allah has commanded him to follow for the betterment of his worldly and hereafter affairs. He has been given the capability, but not compelled to act. This invalidates determinism and free will and establishes that the matter is between two.

The study the extremism roots and their causes is one of the most vital topics in our current era, due to its active contribution to immunizing the Shiite community from deviant ideas and warding off their corrupting and destructive effects on both material and moral levels.
The extremists have sought to infiltrate the Shiite arena and spread their ideas, attempting to prove them with fallacies and weak arguments, exploiting people's emotions and their excessive love for the Ahl Al-Bayt (prophet’s household) (PBUT) and their passion for knowing their characteristics and statuses to mix truth with falsehood in a dangerous approach, which the Imams of the Ahl Al-Bayt (PBUT) and the scholars of their school have warned against.
The study has sought to clarify the positions of the two Imams Al-Askariyain (PBUT) towards the extremist sects and their scientific and practical methods in confronting these currents, with their varying intellectual and political orientations, through a brief analytical study based on primary sources in Hadith, Narrators, and Sects.

Role models play an important part in the lives of individuals and communities. They are one of the fundamental influences in the course of people's lives. It is a motivation towards change and reform, and an important element in preparing generations through the ages, shaping them scientifically and educationally. It reforms, refines, and qualifies them to bear the responsibility and perform the trust of succession and building the earth according to the approach of the Prophethood and the Ahl Al-Bayt (prophet’s household (PBUH).
Lady Narjis is one of the distinguished women chosen by the divine will as the mother of the last of the Ahl Al-Bayt Imams (PBUT) , Imam Al-Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance). In addition to her pure lineage, she is the daughter of one of the disciples of Jesus Christ, Yashua bin Shamoun. With her spiritual and existential perfection, she became an ideal model to be emulated by women who strive and prefer to build themselves to preserve the human essence and chastity, which is based on religious and social frameworks.
Western and secular civilization has worked to view women through a lustful lens and to be liberated from constraints, under the pretext of striving for women's progress and freeing them from backward thinking and social injustice. Thus, women were placed before two paths : either to submit to the outputs of Western arts and the implications of its contemporary literature, or to choose traditional old patterns and be deprived of perfections and talents. Looking from the angle of the divine and emulating them through the divine models presented, one finds that the talk focused on values, principles, and all the teachings presented in the field of dealing with women, whether as mothers, wives, or daughters. These examples and values were narrated, and Lady Narjis is a role model to be emulated, as Allah Almighty has honored her with dignity. This study seeks to show a role model from the members of the Household of the Prophethood (PBUT) , namely Lady Narjis, and her foundations and components, using a descriptive analytical approach.

The researcher focused in this study on the jurisprudential rulings related to the Quran, i.e., those associated with the Quran. Upon contemplating the noble narrations as well as the fatwas of jurists, we find that there are specific rulings on how to interact and deal with the Quran in terms of recitation and other related matters, i.e., what is closely related to the obligated person himself. To clarify these rulings and rights, we shed light on the rulings of reciting the Quran for the one in a state of minor or major impurity in the chapter of purity, thus excluding the verses of rulings from the scope of the research. What is being researched here are the rulings mentioned by the jurists regarding the Noble Quran itself.

The religious and cultural heritage of cities depends on historical studies in biographical books. Moreover, part of the religious and cultural background of cities can be obtained by studying and explaining the lives of the scholars of the cities. Arak (Sultanabad) and Samarra had cultural and religious connections during the Qajar rule. These ties can be traced through biographical books. The study aims to follow the cultural and religious connections between these two cities through studies that described the scholars of Arak who received their education in Samarra hawza, as no research has been found in this regard. The researcher adopted the descriptive analytical approach, concluding that the scholars of Arak, with their active presence in Samarra hawza, played an important role in the growth and development of this school and thus in religious culture. On the other hand, with the return of some scholars of Arak who studied in Samarra to Arak, they also had a significant impact on the growth and prosperity of Arak hawza and the religious culture of the people

This research focuses on the study and documentation of one of the important archaeological landmarks, Al-Qadisiyah Fort in the city of Samarra. The research discussed the history of the construction of this octagonal fort, which appears to be from the Sassanid era, and its continued use in the early, middle, and late Islamic periods. It seems that several stages of renovation and reconstruction were carried out during successive Islamic periods. The research also shed light on all the architectural details of this fort using electronic techniques such as GIS, plans, and models. The research discussed the views regarding the function of this archaeological landmark and its relationship with other similar buildings.
