2017
In this paper, the 'irjā' movement will be analyzed from a discursive perspective in order to rethink some paradoxes in its approaches and tendencies. It will be shown that the discourse of 'irjā' had one core, but different origins, meanings, and significations in Iraq, Transoxiana/Khurāsān, and the Levant. This discourse generally followed a special perspective regarding faith, and its relationship with deeds, as well as some political principles. This paper seeks to uncover the different social and political contexts of this discourse. A major objective is to see how the different social and political contexts in Iraq, Transoxiana/Khurāsān, and the Levant gave rise to a mostly singular view on faith, and the emergence of different political stances against the Umayyads. It will be also demonstrated that political stances against the Umayyads and the will of the statedespite its relationship with the movement-was not the only determining factor in the formation of the 'irjā' discourse.

Sacred space and time in the works of Bakhtiar Ali
Twejer, 2020
The sacred time and sacred place are one of the most widely used concepts in the mythological world. These two concepts have long preoccupied the human mind to an extent that we find them in contemporary fiction today. It is as if the sacred time and sacred place have opened the way into modern novels from the mythical world and are re-emerged with a different perspective. Bakhtiar Ali is one of the writers who has repeatedly used these concepts in the labyrinth of his novels and illustrated them alongside other modern elements and concepts. The present article attempts to study why and how these two concepts are used in the novels (the City of White Musicians, Parwana‘s sunset and The Last Pomegranate of the World.) Keywords: myth, sacred place, sacred time, Bakhtiar Ali, the city of white musicians, Parwana‘s sunset, the last pomegranate in the world.
قادیانیوں-کا-منہج-تفسیرفکرونظر (Translation from Urdu: QADIYANI'S METHODOLOGY OF TAFSEER IN THE FIXATION OF MEANING - AN ANALYTICAL STUDY)
2016
The Holy Quran, due to its unique style, eloquence and brevity has many distinctive miraculous features. These peculiarities can not be explained and elaborated without the skill and expertise in classical Arabic language. But it has to be kept in mind that though very important, language has a secondary rank in the deduction of commandments from Quran. The negative aspects related to deduction of meaning based on only language aspects and not the considering the other factors inappropriately neglects the following: 1. Fixation of meaning while considering the particular contexts. 2. Consideration and regard to the meanings of the words which were in use at the occasion of divine revelation of Quran (use of those words can possibly change over the centuries and what is important is referring to the classical Arabic). 3. Consideration towards understadnig the distinction between the actual meaning and the metaphorical meaning. 4. Prefering the rational meaning of the words which can have various different meanings. 5. Understanding the meaning in the light of interpretation provided by the Prophet ﷺ himself and his blessed companions We see that these prime pattersn of driving the correct meaning of Quranic verses are missing in the Qadyani methodology of Quranic exegesis and in their other books. This paper elaborates these and other relevant aspects in detail while providing detailed evidences and examples.

Examining the Cultuling of Iranians' Concerns for Others: From Apathy to Metapathy
Zabanpazhuhi (Journal of Language Research ), 2024
Since birth and throughout all stages of development, humans have been social beings, as effective communication and interaction with others has been crucial for them. The capability to understand ideas, emotions, and views, and to be aware of and sensitive to them in social interactions, helps develop friendly relationships, promotes self-awareness and self-acceptance, and improves group cohesion. Living in an interconnected world means that we will inevitably face difficulties, and consequently, will regularly need the assistance of others. Iranians have long had a reputation for being kind and helpful to their fellow citizens. It is essential to remember that providing verbal support and assistance to others can also protect them from potential dangers (Andreoni et al., 2016). When seeing other people’s problems and issues, individuals use various verbal and functional approaches in accordance with their own perception and understanding of the situation, as well as the mental and emotional state of others. This indicates their level of care and concern for others. Concern for someone is defined as the emotional and cognitive ability to understand emotions and react to the mental and emotional states of others. Interpersonal interactions and socioemotional aspects help differentiate between “apathy” (having no feelings), “sympathy” (observing feelings), “empathy” (understanding feelings), and “metapathy” (changing feelings). The current research aims to assess people’s level of concern for others by analyzing the language expressions they use in various situations. In other words, the concept of 'cultuling' (language + culture) of concern for others introduces a new perspective on concern, which is influenced by both the extent of people’s engagement with the problem and the closeness between individuals.

Structuralism is a conceptual and methodological approach to describing and analyzing literature texts. This approach sees the text as separate entity that should be treated independently.

This approach focuses on the literary text, the text is the center for the analysis.

Al Khadim Research journal of Islamic culture and Civilization
The Almighty Allah created the universe to express His existence and greatness. After adorning the earth with colorful blessings, He settled it with humanity. He connected human beings in the bonds of kinship and revered them in tribes and clans for recognition. They found themselves linked in the necessities of life to each other, hence He gave them a system of rights and duties, through the Prophets and Revealed Books of divine guidance that would take them to the fulfillment of the needs of their body, as well as man would not be in a state of spiritual confusion. These matters make it clear that the humen are interconnected and there are some distances between them too.
