Abstract:
Judicial review of the constitutionality of laws is one of the most contentious topics in contemporary constitutional thought, as it represents the most sensitive point of intersection between democratic legitimacy and constitutional supremacy. This debate has intensified significantly following the thesis advanced by the New Zealand-British constitutional scholar Jeremy Waldron in his renowned article, "The Core of the Case Against Judicial Review"—a work that constitutes one of the most significant modern critiques of the concept of empowering the judiciary to invalidate laws enacted by an elected legislature.This research begins with a critical review of Waldron’s thesis, analyzing its theoretical foundations regarding the concept of representative democracy, the limits of judicial authority, and the issue of the monopoly over the interpretation of rights and freedoms. It then proceeds to examine the applicability of this thesis within the Iraqi constitutional context post-2005—a landscape characterized by a fragile political system, societal division, recurring political deadlocks, and the expanding role of the Federal Supreme Court in reshaping political and constitutional balances.The research seeks to answer a pivotal question: Does judicial review in Iraq constitute a necessary safeguard for protecting the constitution and rights, or has it gradually evolved into an influential political actor that transcends the traditional judicial role? It also examines the challenges of reconciling the principle of popular sovereignty with the requirements of protecting the constitutional order, while offering a critical perspective aimed at constructing a balanced model of constitutional review for transitional states.

Abstract:
This research examines the contributions of Judge Abd al-Jabbar to the field of comparative religion. He was one of the most prominent Mu›tazilite scholars who made significant contributions to the study and critique of other religions through a rigorous rational approach. The research aims to highlight Judge Abd al-Jabbar›s pioneering role in establishing a methodological foundation for comparative religion within the Islamic tradition. It reveals that Judge Abd al-Jabbar did not merely offer defensive responses to other religions, but rather went further, studying them in a relatively objective manner. He presented their texts and arguments honestly before critiquing them, making him ahead of his time in the spirit of comparative research. The research concludes that Judge Abd al-Jabbar represents a unique model in combining Islamic doctrinal commitment with a critical rational approach to the study of religions, and that his contributions deserve a contemporary re-examination in light of modern comparative religion methodologies.

Abstract:
Islamic political thought is a collection of views and concepts derived from Islamic principles, aiming to achieve social, economic, and political justice. This thought seeks to establish a political system governed by the Holy Qur’an and the Noble Prophetic Sunnah, while also taking into consideration the requirements of the modern age. It encompasses many areas, such as the Islamic state, consultation (Shura), justice, human rights, political pluralism, and the Islamic economy.
In the modern era, Islamic political thought has undergone several significant transformations, beginning with the colonial period, passing through the Arab revolutions, and continuing into the age of globalization. These factors have contributed to reshaping and developing Islamic political thought in order to keep pace with the political, social, and economic changes experienced by the (Islamic nation).
The study of the relationship between Islamic thought and political theory constitutes a rich field for research and reflection, as it demonstrates the interaction between belief and political practice in an attempt to achieve balance between Islamic Sharia and the needs of political society. This research aims to explore how Islamic thought has influenced the development of political theory and the extent to which these ideas are compatible with contemporary political developments.
The study will address the most important Islamic concepts related to authority and governance, examine the views of Islamic thinkers, and demonstrate how these ideas have interacted with modern political systems in the Islamic world.

Abstract:
This study examines the phenomenon of verbal rhetorical devices in the poetry of Haritha ibn Badr al- Ghudani, considering it a prominent stylistic feature that contributes to the construction of meaning internal rhythm and reinforcing meaning. The frequent presence of these devices in the poet›s texts becomes a distinctive marker of his poetic styls. Verbal embellishments refer to rhetorical techniques that play an active role in shaping the structure of the text, imparting musical harmony and enhancing its aesthetic impact. They thus constitute an artistic phenomenon that poets deliberately employ in forming the rhythmic structure due to their capacity for creative expression and their ability to enrich the musical tone influencing various emotional responses. The study shown that Harihah ibn Badr al-Ghudani relied on lexical repetition and several rhetorical devices-such as paronomasia (Jinas), antithesis (tibaq), and parallel opposition (muqabala)-as stylistic means that contributed to shaping a poetic structure in which semantic and aesthetic dimensions interact, deepening the rhythmic dimension of the text and granting rhythm an expressive power that embodies the poet›s emotions and experiences as an authentic reflection of poetic significance.

This research examines the phenomenon of employing hologram technology in contemporary religious practices as one of the transformations resulting from the intersection of religion and digital technology, focusing on how the symbolic presence of religious symbols and figures is reproduced within the virtual space. The research seeks to study how modern technologies have become capable of creating new forms of ritual interaction that transcend the boundaries of space and time by simulating real presence and adding a visual and emotional dimension to the religious experience. It also discusses the concept of virtual rituals as religious practices performed or reformulated through digital media, and the accompanying changes in the concept of religious community, spiritual presence, and sanctity. Furthermore, it focuses on the sociological and cultural dimensions associated with the use of holograms in sermons, rituals, lectures, and celebrations, and their impact on shaping contemporary religious consciousness and strengthening the emotional and symbolic connection between the recipient and religious content. The researcher also aims to uncover the intellectual and jurisprudential issues related to the legitimacy of these practices and the limits of employing technology within the religious sphere, in light of the rapid transformations witnessed by the contemporary digital world.
