Surah At-Tahrim represents a unique model of family and educational guidance, as it addresses an issue related to the sanctity of the Prophet’s household and the disclosure of secrets. It presents an integrated set of methods of guidance and discipline for women, ranging between gentleness and firmness, encouragement and warning, and grounded in the principle of both individual and collective responsibility.
This approach is exemplified in the manner of dealing with the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him). It is based on implicit and indirect reproach, where blame is not directed at the wives explicitly; rather, the discourse begins with the verse: “O Prophet, why do you prohibit what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the pleasure of your wives?” This method causes the wives to sense the mistake through reproaching the other party, an approach intended to preserve dignity and save face for those being admonished.

This study aims to demonstrate the role of Fiqh al-Mawālāt (Jurisprudence of Consequences) in addressing the debts of low-income families, considering it one of the most important usūlī (principled) and maqāṣidī (objectives-based) tools capable of rationalizing rulings and applying them to contemporary economic realities. The study provides an in-depth analysis of the phenomenon of debt among low-income households, its social and economic impacts, and then examines the usūlī methodology in considering māwālāt (consequences), its regulations, and its objectives, and how it can be utilized to formulate practical solutions that limit debt accumulation and support the financial stability of families. The research adopts an analytical inductive methodology and a maqāṣidī approach to connect legal texts and principles with practical reality. The study concludes that Fiqh al-Mawālāt provides a balanced framework in regulating lending, evaluating consumption, and guiding social policies, while achieving the maqāṣid of Sharia to protect wealth, remove hardship, and prevent harm

The first major crisis that befell the Muslims after the Prophet\'s (peace and blessings be upon him) passing, the repercussions of which we still grapple with, was the first military conflict, the shock of which we still feel, stemming from the disagreement among the Prophet\'s (peace and blessings be upon him) companions regarding the successor.
To honor the most prominent schools of thought that emerged after the Prophet\'s (peace and blessings be upon him) passing: Sunni, Shia, and Kharijite.
Among these schools of thought is the Sunni school, which holds that the consensus of the Muslim community is the source of legitimacy, based on the principle of consultation and free choice. This aligns with the spirit of the age in selecting the caliph through consultation and presenting the choice to the people of authority (parliament) for ratification.
This research addresses this issue and seeks to shed light on the view of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama\'ah (the Sunni community) regarding the caliphate and its implications. Its scholarly content is divided into several sections, culminating in a conclusion that presents the findings and recommendations

One of the most important tools that helps in understanding the Qur’anic text is the science called Qur’anic Sciences, which contains a number of sciences related to the Qur’an and its verses. This science arose with the revelation of the Qur’an, and then the classification and organization of it developed with the movement of authorship that was active during the Islamic Renaissance in its early ages.
Contemporary scholars have made a clear contribution to the sciences of the Qur’an. Hence, we find that the writings of later scholars included many benefits and additions that cannot be denied in this science. Among the most important of the later scholars is Sheikh Fadl Abbas, may God have mercy on him, the author of useful writings, valuable observations, and unique investigations.
His book, \"Itqan al-Burhan fi Ulum al-Qur\'an\" (Mastering the Proof in the Sciences of the Qur\'an), represents the pinnacle of scholarship in the sciences of the Holy Qur\'an. This book is replete with numerous investigations and additions that have enriched the sciences of the Qur\'an and its branches.

Based on the nature of the adopted methodology, the study is divided into an introduction, four main sections, and a conclusion presenting the most important findings, which affirm the status and importance of interpreting Hadith through Hadith, along with a recommendation for conducting further studies that address this type of interpretation.

the concept of intellectual extremism and its most significant effects within the university environment, as well as to identify the factors that contribute to its emergence among university students. It also seeks to highlight the academic and educational role played by university professors in limiting and addressing this phenomenon. The importance of this study stems from the fact that the university is an academic and educational institution that plays a vital role in shaping students’ intellectual awareness, making it an influential environment for promoting the values of moderation and balance and for confronting intellectual deviations.
The study concludes that confronting intellectual extremism within university settings requires the integration of educational and pedagogical efforts, the activation of awareness programs and academic seminars, and the development of students’ critical thinking skills.

This study examines the origins of īlā’ (oath of abstinence) and ẓihār (wife-likeness declaration) as presented in the Prophetic Sunnah, with specific focus on the expiation (kaffārah) of ẓihār alone.
