Abstract:
This study examines the transformations of rhetorical discourse in Morisco literature as it moved from poetry to secret letters under the political and religious pressures that followed the fall of Granada. It adopts a descriptive, analytical, and comparative approach, drawing on discourse analysis and cultural rhetoric to identify the expressive strategies that shifted from poetic declaration to allusion, concealment, and symbolic encoding. The corpus consists of selected Morisco poetic texts and secret letters, within the limits of available edited sources and related studies, while distinguishing original textual evidence from illustrative examples used for rhetorical clarification. The study concludes that Morisco rhetoric was not merely an ornamental device; rather, it functioned as a cultural strategy for preserving religious and linguistic identity and as a safe means of communication under surveillance. The findings show that allusion, metonymy, metaphor, and symbolic encoding produced a double-layered discourse whose surface may appear emotional or social, while its deeper level carries religious, cultural, and resistant meanings.

Abstract:
This research examines a subtle phenomenon within the Prophetic Sunnah: the impact of varying wording in questions posed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the variations in his answers. The research compiles, studies, and analyzes this phenomenon, examining several Prophetic hadiths related to virtues, worship, ethics, and etiquette. It reveals the wisdom behind these differing responses, demonstrating that such variations are not contradictions or conflicts, but rather evidence of the Prophet's profound wisdom and consideration for the circumstances of his audience, The research also establishes a set of scholarly principles that facilitate understanding these diverse Prophetic answers and enabling a sound, systematic approach to their interpretation.

Abstract:
Social interpretation is considered one of the most significant modern approaches to Qur’anic exegesis, as it seeks to elucidate the social values embedded within the Qur’anic text and relate them to human society. It addresses various societal issues and derives principles that contribute to reform and development. This approach emerged prominently in the modern era as a result of the social transformations experienced in the Muslim world, prompting some exegetes to highlight the normative and reformative dimensions of the Qur’anic text aimed at guiding and improving society.
Al-Tahir Ibn Ashur is regarded as one of the leading scholars who emphasized social interpretation and applied its principles. In the introduction to his tafsir, he underscored the importance of the higher objectives (maqāṣid) of the Qur’anic text, particularly those concerned with reforming people’s conditions in both their worldly life and the Hereafter. This reflects his deep engagement with the social dimensions of the Qur’anic message. One of his primary aims was to clarify the foundational values upon which an Islamic society is built.
The study demonstrates that social interpretation in Ibn Ashur’s work was not presented as an independent theoretical framework or through a precise definition; rather, it appeared in an applied form within his exegesis of Qur’anic verses. Through this approach, he derived social principles and general rules intended to regulate social life. The study also establishes that this approach is closely linked to Ibn Ashur’s maqāṣid-based methodology, as he relied on the objectives of Islamic law in understanding and interpreting the Qur’anic text. This enabled him to offer a renewed vision that integrates textual interpretation with social reality.
Furthermore, the research highlights the main areas in which Ibn Ashur applied social interpretation, including issues related to the family, the status of women in society, moral values, and the principles of social justice and social solidarity. In this regard, the study concludes that Al-Tahrir wa al-Tanwir represents an important model of social interpretation in the modern era, due to its reform-oriented vision that effectively connects the Qur’anic text with lived reality.

Abstract:
This study aims to analyze conceptual metaphor in Henry’s short story “The Service of Love.” It seeks to: clarify the role of conceptual metaphor in shaping our understanding of certain concepts within the short story “The Service of Love,” and identify the types of conceptual metaphors employed. Furthermore, the study examines how first-year English students understand specific figurative expressions in the short story and how they utilize conceptual metaphor to construct meaning. This study employs a qualitative approach to analyzing the short story texts. Students’ understanding of the intended figurative meanings is assessed by examining their interpretation of specific figurative phrases. The study concludes that the use of conceptual metaphors in “The Service of Love” helps the writer to articulate certain life concepts that cannot be fully expressed and understood through the literal use of words. Thus, it clarifies specific ideas such as “love,” “family,” and “happiness” that cannot be fully grasped if the writer uses their alternative literal meaning. It is demonstrated that the author utilizes certain concepts in appropriate, acceptable, and powerful ways to depict the intended meaning . These findings may help first-year English students better understand metaphor and provide valuable insights into how to evaluate literary texts.

This study aims to examine the impact of implementing an electronic invoicing system on reducing tax evasion, through an exploratory study conducted at the Iraqi Carpet and Upholstery Company. The importance of this research stems from the pivotal role that electronic invoicing plays in enhancing the transparency of financial operations and improving tax compliance, thereby contributing to increased national revenues and combating illegal market practices.
The study relies on an Exploratory Descriptive Approach, where data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with financial management staff and accountants in the company, in addition to analyzing documents and financial records related to invoicing. The research sample was carefully selected from employees directly involved in invoicing and collection processes to ensure that the results accurately reflect practical reality.

Abstract:
The concept of real freedom not easy, freedom is not an immediate response to every desire, don›t automatically surrender all fancy, but in truth, desire and need, within those bounds, simpler and comprehensive, are others in turn to liberty, freedom of the individual reaches their borders and stop at the right of others. Freedom, freedom, freedom takes community then it›s supported and backed by, individual freedom, community happiness achieved Sapient irresistibly her in achieving common desires. The urgent need to determine the constitutional protection of rights and freedoms in light of the principle of the rule of law upon which the legal State, relates to the concept of democracy with such protection materialized the constitutional underpinnings of all branches of the law, this legal status is determined in the light of constitutional legitimacy Established by the Constitution. Which requires clarification of the standard that lends this constitutional legitimacy on protection of rights and freedoms, and their impact on criminal legislation regulating these rights and not to override them as constitutional foundations. The study yielded several findings, most notably the time lag between the drafting of the constitution and the enactment of penal laws, particularly Penal Code No. 111 of 1969, and the necessity of aligning the latter law with constitutional developments. The research also concluded with several recommendations that could help bridge the gap between the constitution, the supreme law of the land, and other legislative laws.

ABSTRACT
If we want to talk about educational issues and problems facing those working in this field, we must talk about educational means as an important pillar in the educational process that helps simplify concepts and information in the mind of the learner. A successful teacher, as many see it, is the one who uses these means well, in addition to the other elements that he must possess in various educational situations. And because the educational media has an important position in the educational field, it is necessary to highlight it with a strong focus that makes this fact clear to those who respect it.

Abstract:
This research examines Lebanese-Israeli relations post-2000 and the impact of regional and security shifts on the nature of the conflict. It posits that the relationship evolved from a conventional military confrontation into an asymmetric conflict rooted in mutual deterrence and a war of attrition. This transformation was driven by the rise of Hezbollah as a quasi-state actor, the weakening of the Lebanese state, and the use of Lebanon by Iran and Syria as leverage against Israel. Following Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000, the relationship underwent several phases: a period of attrition leading up to the July 2006 War—which cemented mutual deterrence—followed by a period of stable deterrence alongside continued limited operations (such as Israeli preemptive strikes in Syria and border-based attrition involving Hezbollah), culminating in an exceptional yet limited success. This was exemplified by the US-brokered maritime border demarcation (2022). Hezbollah underwent significant military development, while Israel adopted a preemptive strike doctrine, and the Lebanese state remained marginal regarding decisions on war and peace. The regional environment played a pivotal role: Iran used Hezbollah as leverage, Syria became a conduit for weapons and a theater for strikes, and the United Nations failed to enforce Resolution 1701.

Abstract:
Positive educational interventions have a beneficial effect on students' mental health outcomes, such as improved life satisfaction and reduced anxiety. While these changes in students' mental health are encouraging, research has not adequately explored whether positive educational interventions alter students' understanding of well-being itself. The concept of "well-being knowledge" is a relatively new one in positive education, defined as the ability to understand the concept and language of well-being. This study investigates whether students' language and understanding of well-being change after a teacher-led positive educational intervention. Students from grades 1-5 (aged 13-17 years; n = 50) in Basra schools provided brief written descriptions of their understanding of well-being before and after their teachers implemented a six-month positive educational intervention. Subject-matter analysis was used as the methodological tool to analyze students' language and understanding of well-being. Repeat-response inferential statistical analyses were used to compare responses before and after the intervention. The results revealed that students' understanding of well-being developed in four main ways, becoming more: (1) more detailed; (2) Strengths-based; (3) Expanded/Multidimensional; and (4) Relational. Understandings of well-being after intervention were significantly more likely to encompass aspects of emotional management, strengths, coping, mindfulness, and self-compassion. Implications, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

Uṣūl al-Dīn establishes its foundational principles and regulates the methodologies of reasoning.
The research seeks to reconstruct this relationship through a synthetic reading that integrates historical development with epistemological analysis, paying particular attention to the dynamic interplay between reason and revelation in the formation of theological knowledge. Employing an analytical-inductive method, the study examines classical theological discourses alongside modern intellectual trends that attempt to reinterpret doctrinal concepts through contemporary frameworks.
The significance of this study lies in its effort to transcend reductionist approaches that fragment theological inquiry, proposing instead an integrative paradigm capable of restoring the coherence of doctrinal knowledge. Such an approach enhances the capacity of Islamic theology to engage effectively with present-day intellectual challenges. The study concludes that the integration of ʿIlm al-Kalām and Uṣūl al-Dīn constitutes an epistemological necessity inherent in the nature of theological discourse, ensuring a balanced synthesis between rational inquiry and scriptural authority.

Abstract
My study, entitled "Metaphorical Contrast in the Qur'anic Text," addresses the importance of the interplay between specific words in contrast and metaphorical imagery to clarify the Qur'anic intent. The study revolves around the miraculous nature of the unique Qur'anic structure, whose wonders are inexhaustible in its clear and ambiguous verses. The study focuses on details related to the concept of antithesis and its effect in arranging meanings and images in a cohesive and interwoven manner. This is achieved through a methodology that combines description and analysis of selected Qur'anic examples, demonstrating the validity of the study's vision. The study integrates two rhetorical techniques, one belonging to eloquence and the other to figures of speech, in a process that derives its strength from the unique eloquence of the Qur'anic structure.

Abstract:
This study develops a predictive model for assessing flash-flood hazards in the dry basins of western Anbar Governorate, Iraq. It combines geomorphological analysis, hydrological reasoning, remote sensing, and GIS-based spatial modelling. The western desert environment is generally arid; however, short and intense rainfall events may trigger rapid runoff in normally dry channels, especially where slope, drainage density, basin relief, and soil-cover conditions support quick hydrological response. The study adopts a descriptive, analytical, and applied methodology by organizing the risk variables into natural, morphometric, hydrological, and spatial indicators. These indicators are integrated in a weighted GIS model, while the SCS-CN method is used as a practical framework for estimating runoff-generation potential. The paper concludes that western Anbar basins, especially Wadi Hauran and connected tributary systems, require periodic hazard maps that link storm rainfall, basin morphology, land cover, roads, settlements, and hydraulic structures. It recommends strengthening local early warning systems, rainfall and flow monitoring stations, and geospatial databases so that flash floods can be managed not only as hazards but also as seasonal water resources.

Abstract
This study examines the relationship between the cosmic domain and acts of worship tied to astronomical movements from a contemporary jurisprudential perspective, focusing on the extent to which cosmic phenomena can serve as legitimate determinants for religious obligations. The research conceptualizes Islamic jurisprudence as a dynamic system balancing fixed textual mandates with the natural cosmic order, reflecting divine governance in the universe. The study primarily investigates time-bound worship, especially prayers dependent on precise timings, highlighting the role of astronomical motion in structuring these schedules.
Employing a comparative jurisprudential analysis, the study reviews the positions of the four Sunni schools and contemporary scholarly literature regarding the linkage between natural phenomena and juridical obligations, integrating maqasid (objectives of Sharia) to interpret the permissible scope of such linkages. The research further explores the consideration of cosmic influences in contemporary ijtihad while upholding the immutable principles of Sharia and accommodating modern scientific insights in legal reasoning.
The study concludes that Islamic jurisprudence allows a limited interaction between cosmic phenomena and legal obligations, provided the foundational textual principles remain unviolated. Reliance on cosmic cues is valid as a means of precision and calibration but not as a basis for altering established rulings. Furthermore, understanding cosmic phenomena enhances the believer’s awareness of timings, promoting harmony between religious observance and the cosmic order, without contravening the bounds of jurisprudential legitimacy.

Abstract:
This study explores the construction of the Islamic personality in light of the hadith (of Ihfaz Allah Yahfazk) Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you”), as a foundational educational principle that establishes a comprehensive relationship between the servant and Allah based on commitment and divine preservation. The research aims to clarify the features of the Islamic personality within the Islamic intellectual framework and to analyze the educational, theological, and behavioral dimensions derived from the hadith. It highlights the role of internalizing concepts such as mindfulness of God, reliance upon Him, and trust in His decree in shaping a stable self-awareness reflected in balanced behavior across life domains. The study concludes that this hadith serves as a central foundation for building an Islamic personality capable of facing contemporary challenges with resilience and awareness.

Abstract:
this study explores the phenomenon of contemporary atheism from the perspective of the Islamic creed of Tawheed (monotheism). It examines the modern forms of atheism and its main psychological, social, and intellectual causes, such as the conflict between science and religion, materialism, and the weakening of moral and spiritual values. The research adopts a descriptive analytical approach by analyzing doctrinal texts from the Qur’an and Sunnah, as well as the views of renowned scholars such as Ibn Taymiyyah, Al-Ghazali, and others. It aims to highlight the theological foundations that refute atheistic ideologies by affirming Allah’s greatness, oneness in creation and governance, and the divine signs evident in the universe. The study also proposes intellectual and educational strategies to strengthen the understanding of Tawheed and protect believers from falling into doubt and atheism.
