The study sought to reveal the features of joy, elation, and contentment that emerged within the poet Ibn Sana' al-Mulk upon his genuine engagement with his artistic experience. This was achieved through tracing the manifestations of his pride and self-esteem in his individual identity, following his accomplishments that created distinction, fulfilled his ambition, enriched his self, and established his presence before others. This was reflected in his poetic language. Furthermore, it revealed the extent of his unique experience in expressing emotions, creating a psychological context that persuaded audiences. The study comprised an introduction and three chapters. The introduction examined ecstasy and the self, both linguistically and technically. It then provided a brief overview of the poet's life and the role of self-ecstasy in the poetry of the gardens of poetry. The first chapter examined the ecstasy of personal pride. The second chapter examined self-ecstasy in nasib poetry. The final chapter addressed the ecstasy of asceticism. It was followed by a conclusion and a list of sources and references.

The words "dhu" and "dhat" in Arabic grammar and the Holy Quran: A study of origin, meaning, and grammatical analysis

2025-11-26T08:28:50+00:00

Abstract:

This research examines the words "dhu" and "dhat" (meaning "possessor" and "owner"), two of the six nouns, and the two Tayy tribe words (meaning "that which" and "which"), as relative pronouns in Arabic grammar and the Holy Quran. These words are considered unique in the Arabic language and its grammar. The research stems from the importance of understanding the linguistic meaning of words, as they are tools for human communication and the linguistic interpretation of texts. Since the beginnings of linguistic study, Arab scholars have recognized the necessity of delving into the issues of word and meaning to serve the language of the Holy Quran and clarify its meanings. The first section of the research presents the linguistic origin of the words "dhu" and "dhat," their meanings, and their grammatical inflection in Arabic grammar and the Holy Quran. This is achieved through a study of the use of "dhu" as "possessor" and "dhat" as "owner," as they are among the six nouns. It also examines their use in the Tayy tribe language, meaning "that which" and "which." The second section focuses on the two words in the Holy Quran, exploring their various meanings, grammatical positions, and the number of times they appear. Their occurrence, along with an analysis of their Quranic contexts, reveals the breadth of their meaning, the subtlety of their style, and the beauty of the Quranic structure.

Through this, the research seeks to highlight the grammatical and semantic dimensions of these words and clarify their impact on enhancing a precise understanding of Arabic texts in general, and the texts of the Holy Quran in particular, thus fulfilling the goal of linguistic study in serving comprehension and clarifying the grammatical and Quranic meaning for the reader.

The Dialectic of Utopia and Dystopia in Bab al-Tabashir by Ahmed Saadawi

2025-11-26T08:12:38+00:00

In the world of The Chalk Door, utopia and dystopia emerge as two reflections of the same mirror, where salvation is sketched in fragile chalk lines upon prison walls, transforming hope into an illusion that thickens the bars rather than dismantles them. Consciousness wavers between the mirage of imagined doors and the futility of indifference, between a death presumed to be a utopia ending pain, only to reveal a deeper void. Ancient myths unfold as black books promising passage into alternate realms, yet merely replicate the void in more deceptive forms, while love flashes like lightning across a sky heavy with ruin, returning a fleeting meaning to life before vanishing without altering destiny. In the heart of an evacuated Baghdad, cities morph into tangible dystopias, where even cats become silent witnesses to the emptiness of both streets and soul. Meanwhile, the nebulous realms shimmer with lapis-lazuli hues to conceal their hollowness, turning utopia into a colored prison where exiles embrace their banishment willingly. Ultimately, the crimson door stands as a final sign that utopia is neither a place nor a deliverance, but rather a mental act of resistance that refuses to concede to the finality of walls—even if it remains merely a crimson scrawl on the wall of the mind

The Impact of the Tact Skill in the ABLLS-R Program on Language Development in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

2025-09-09T08:59:21+00:00

Tact is a core skill in Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior and a key component of the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills – Revised (ABLLS-R) program. This study examines the role of tact in supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to use language more effectively and systematically. Research indicates that tact training expands vocabulary, strengthens the link between words and environmental stimuli, and enhances the ability to express objects and events clearly. Additionally, tact practice promotes the generalization of language skills to new contexts beyond the direct training environment, contributing to overall linguistic improvement. Emphasizing tact in educational and therapeutic interventions provides an effective strategy for fostering communication, supporting cognitive-linguistic development, and enabling children with ASD to engage more successfully in social and learning contexts. The findings highlight tact as a crucial tool in promoting structured language use and facilitating meaningful interactions for children with ASD.
