Imam al-Farahi's Pragmatics Study of the Language of the Qur'an–Analytical approach

Mohamed Yeslem El Moujawad — 2025-07-01

This research aims to show aspects of the relationship between the interpretive heritage and the modern Pragmatics approach by highlighting the features of the deliberative approach to the language of the Holy Qur'an by Abdul Hamid al-Farahi, based on his heritage in interpretation and Qur'anic sciences, where he celebrated the importance of recognizing the relationship between the language of the Qur'an and the ancient Arabic use of language. The research focused on the importance of recognizing the relationship between the language of the Qur'an and the ancient Arabic use of language, and the impact of the linguistic, linguistic and Pragmatics data during the revelation of the Qur'an on the meanings of its vocabulary, methods and ways of organizing and expressing, and the need to take into account the specificity of the language of the Qur'an as a message of revelation, and the conditions of those who addressed it, the first recipients of its message, and its addressee.

The research adopted the analytical approach in extracting Al-Farahi's efforts in employing the concepts of the Pragmatics approach in the study of the language of the Qur'an, overcoming the issues that some interpreters and orientalists fell into, and monitoring their impact in opening horizons for optimal reflection on the Holy Qur'an.

The research reached some of the most important results: Al-Farahi's studies and researches in the study of the language of the Holy Quran at the level of vocabulary, methods, systems and context will undoubtedly realize the richness of his studies and the use of the concepts of Pragmatics analysis in the study of Quranic stylistic phenomena, which confirms that scholars of interpretation were earlier to apply the contents of many Pragmatics linguistic theories, even if they did not call them modern terms.

The research concludes that the heritage of Imam Abdul Hamid al-Farahi in tafsir and Qur'anic sciences in general and in the linguistic study of the Holy Qur'an in particular is rich in what enriches the contemporary Qur'anic study, although it has not yet received the study, scrutiny and follow-up it deserves.

Semiotics of woe and its Derivatives in Examples of Arabic Usage

Ali Hifdallah Mohammed — 2025-07-01

This research aims to demonstrate the semiotics of (woe) and its derivatives in light of models of the communication of Arabic usages in different contexts since ancient times in the history of Arabic, and across all eras and times up to the contemporary era, especially the communication of the language used in what people exchange in their official or daily languages, and their surrounding small and large communities, because this sign has different and multiple connotations in the contexts in which it appears. In this study, I adopted the interpretive semiotic approach, which is very concerned with the meaning of the sign, its subject, and its interpreter; because it is the most accurate approach and the closest to the spirit of this study; I also reached multiple results, the most important of which is that the semiotics of (woe) are prominent in use in communication, especially among women since the most ancient times, and this sign is still present in women's linguistic and cognitive dictionary, and in their various communities to this day, as if this sign is a common factor in the societal cultures inherited from ancient times until our present era.

The Narrative Classification of Al-Hamadhānī's Maqāmāt

Hadi Shaalan Al-bathawi — 2025-07-01

The research aims to reveal the nature of the narrative structure that hides behind the Maqamat al-Hamadani, through a number of narrative classifications that formulated his text, and the research found that they are three classifications: the initial classification in that the texts are distributed between: anecdotal, semi-anecdotal and non-anecdotal. The secondary classification, which tracks the level of complexity of the plot, distinguishes between one whale tale and more than one whale tale. As for the third qualitative classification, it investigated the most important semantics and narrative topics with which the premises were occupied, foremost of which was the description and its topics.

The research followed a narrative approach that tried to make it suitable for the heritage text, introducing the fulfillment of the text over the fulfillment of the theory, and in doing so, it proceeds from a central question: What is the level of artistic complexity in the Arabic Tale, and how the Maqamat formulated its plot and characters and the dramatic depth The questions that follow from this formed the basis of the research and its material. One of the results of the research was that the Maqamat text has a degree of complexity that makes it the subject of a critical study that highlights this clearly, which the research believes that its originality lies in the initiator.

Yasser Hashem E. Alhiagi — 2025-07-01

Cultural tourism is witnessing rapid growth as there is an increasing interest in exploring the past, with museums emerging as key destinations for tourists interested in this type of tourism. In recent years, the museum sector in Saudi Arabia has attracted significant attention due to its pivotal role in promoting economic and cultural development, as well as enhancing tourism marketing strategies. However, the contribution of museums to improving the cultural tourism experience in the Kingdom still requires in-depth investigation.

This study aims to examine the role of the Saudi National Museum, which opened in 1999, in promoting cultural tourism by exploring the perceptions and impressions of local visitors regarding this role. The study also discusses the challenges facing the museum sector in the Kingdom and offers recommendations for improving its effectiveness.

A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a survey distributed to a random sample of 240 local visitors to the National Museum. The survey covered various aspects, including visitors' personal experiences, the museum’s impact on enhancing historical and cultural knowledge, and its role in attracting visitors and providing both educational and recreational experiences.

The research results of the statistical analysis indicate that the Saudi National Museum essential in supporting cultural tourism by raising cultural awareness and offering distinguished educational experiences. However, several challenges were identified that hinder the full utilization of the museum’s potential, such as inadequate marketing efforts, accessibility issues, and a lack of interactive activities. The study recommends improving the visitor experience by adopting modern display technologies, developing interpretive content, enhancing promotional efforts for the museum, and upgrading facilities and logistical services, thereby strengthening the museum’s position as a leading cultural tourism destination.

The Israeli News Coverage of the War on Gaza (2023-2024) and Its relation to Genocide – A Qualitative Analytical Study

Said Shaheen Alani — 2025-07-01

This study examines the role of Israeli media, including social media, in spreading and reinforcing hate speech against Palestinians. It explores how this media influences public perception in Israel and contributes to encouraging acts of genocide, which continue in Gaza at the time of this study. The research highlights how Israeli officials' statements are widely shared and how Israeli media creates a false narrative that dehumanizes Palestinians. This portrayal leads to the justification of violence against civilians, including children, women and men, as well as the destruction of essential infrastructure. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, more than 47,000 people have been killed, 111,000 injured, and severe starvation has been reported.

The study adopted the qualitative analytical approach, utilizing direct observation to analyze statements from television channels and social media platforms. The research focuses on Israeli media content, including online publications and social media posts, with an intentional sample consisting of news reports, statements, and posts from Israeli public figures. The study shows that Israeli media plays a key role in spreading hate speech against Palestinians and dehumanizing them through incitement and religious references. The study recommends pursuing legal action against journalists engaged in incitement campaigns through international legal mechanisms and boycotting Israeli media institutions and networks that promote hatred against Palestinians.

Navigating the Digital Shift: Challenges and Solutions in Translator and Interpreter Training in Algeria

Rami Bououden — 2025-07-01

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has remarkably transformed the translation and interpreting education field. It has introduced newer and more advanced technologies that have affected translator and interpreter training strategies, bringing in more innovative technological tools, artificial intelligence, and digital learning platforms. This research paper investigates the integration of translation and interpreting technologies in academic training at the High Arab Institute of Translation in Algiers. It uses a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from a questionnaire and qualitative information from verbal reports. The sample consisted of 24 students and alumni from the institute who completed the questionnaire, while the researchers collected verbal reports from other students and teachers as a complementary method. The results indicate that participants are aware of the benefits of technology in their field. However, insufficient practical training, flawed technological infrastructure, and insufficient exposure to advanced tools affected their experiences. As many expressed skepticism towards using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate translations, others voiced doubts concerning using technological aids in simultaneous interpreting. These findings underscore a need for curriculum enhancements to align Algerian training programs with industry standards and prepare students for a technology-driven job market. Finally, the study emphasizes the need to find solutions to prepare today’s translators and interpreters by equipping them with technological and digital skills, enabling them to manage the vast amount of data and succeed in the ever-evolving digital market.

Loyalty of the Umayyad Governors in Al-Maghrib after Completing the Conquest: 97–132AH/715–750CE

Meshal Al-Enezi — 2025-07-01

In 45AH (665CE), Muʿāwiya ibn Abī Sufyān (41–60AH/661–680CE), the first Umayyad caliph, continued the efforts of the Rashidūn Caliphate in conquering Al-Maghrib by dispatching multiple military leaders to conduct campaigns in the region. The Umayyad conquest was ultimately completed under the sixth Umayyad caliph, Al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Malik (86–96AH/705–715CE), who appointed the first Umayyad governor of Al-Maghrib in 58AH (678CE). This paper explains the most important factors that the Umayyad caliphs relied on in appointing their governors in al-Maghrib after completing the conquest. It also examines the relationship between the factors for selecting leaders during the conquest of al-Maghrib and those for appointing governors. These factors show the extent of the loyalty of these governors to the Umayyad Caliphate. Previous studies have discussed various aspects of the history of al-Maghrib during and after the conquest. However, they have not paid attention to the elements of this research. This research consulted primary sources which had discussed various aspects of the Umayyad and al-Maghrib history.
