القصة العربية ودورها في بناء الهوية الإسلامية: دراسة تحليلية في ضوء السرد القرآني والتراثي والمعاصر
This study examined the role of Arabic narrative in constructing and reinforcing Islamic identity through an analysis of its religious, historical, educational, and cultural dimensions. The research aimed to explore how Arabic storytelling contributed to shaping Islamic consciousness and preserving core values across different historical periods, from the Qur’anic narrative to classical Islamic literature and modern Arabic fiction. To achieve these objectives, the study adopted a descriptive-analytical methodology supported by narrative analysis to investigate the theological, pedagogical, historical, and artistic functions of narrative discourse in identity formation. The analysis focused on three major levels: the Qur’anic narrative as the foundational source of Islamic values and beliefs; classical Islamic narratives represented by the Prophetic biography, the lives of the Companions, and didactic storytelling traditions; and modern Arabic narratives that addressed contemporary challenges such as cultural alienation, globalisation, and moral fragmentation. The findings revealed that the Qur’anic narrative established the fundamental framework of Islamic identity by promoting theological awareness and ethical values, while classical Islamic narratives translated these principles into practical models of conduct and social behaviour. The study further demonstrated that modern Arabic narratives played a significant role in preserving, reformulating, and transmitting Islamic identity within changing social and cultural contexts. It was concluded that Arabic narrative functioned not merely as a reflection of reality but as an active cultural instrument that shaped values, guided behaviour, and strengthened both individual and collective identity. The study recommended encouraging further research on the relationship between narrative and identity, promoting the study of Islamic storytelling traditions, and supporting contemporary literary works that contribute to the preservation and renewal of Islamic cultural identity.

ملامح الخطاب الصوفي في شعر إبراهيم الدسوقي: دراسة لغوية وأسلوبية
This study examined the features of Sufi discourse in the poetry of Ibrahim al-Desouki and investigated the linguistic and stylistic mechanisms through which mystical experience was articulated in his poetic works. The research aimed to identify the principal characteristics of Sufi discourse and to analyse the relationship between poetic language and spiritual experience within the framework of Islamic mysticism. To achieve these objectives, the study adopted a descriptive-analytical methodology based on selected poetic texts examined within their historical and Sufi contexts. The analysis focused on major mystical concepts that appeared in al-Desouki’s poetry, including divine manifestation, annihilation (fanā’), union, divine love, and inner knowledge (kashf), as well as on the linguistic and stylistic devices employed to convey these experiences. Particular attention was given to the semantic fields of Sufi vocabulary, repetition as a means of semantic intensification, and the use of rhetorical and symbolic imagery. The findings revealed that al-Desouki’s poetry constituted a coherent model of Sufi discourse in which language functioned as a vehicle for expressing profound spiritual states and mystical insights. The study demonstrated that Sufi concepts were transformed into rich poetic structures characterised by symbolism, suggestion, and semantic paradox, enabling the poet to communicate meanings that transcended direct expression. Furthermore, the findings showed that stylistic features played a central role in creating both aesthetic depth and semantic richness, reflecting the intimate connection between linguistic form and spiritual content. The study concluded that al-Desouki successfully integrated mystical experience with artistic expression and produced a distinctive poetic discourse that reflected the essence of Islamic Sufism. It recommended further scholarly research on Sufi poetry and greater attention to the linguistic and stylistic dimensions of mystical literary texts.

الصورة الشعرية ومفهوم الوطن في شعر الرواد
This study examined the role of the poetic image in shaping the concept of homeland in the poetry of the Arab pioneers and explored how poetic imagery contributed to the construction of national and existential meanings within modern Arabic poetry. The research aimed to investigate the relationship between poetic image and homeland and to reveal the ways in which pioneer poets transformed homeland from a physical and geographical entity into a complex symbolic and imaginative construct. To achieve these objectives, the study adopted a descriptive-analytical methodology based on close textual analysis of selected poems by pioneering Arab poets, particularly Badr Shakir al-Sayyab and Abd al-Wahhab al-Bayati. The analysis focused on the semantic, symbolic, and aesthetic dimensions of poetic images and their contribution to shaping the poets’ vision of homeland. The findings demonstrated that the concept of homeland was constructed through interconnected poetic images that moved beyond direct description toward deeper symbolic representations. The study revealed that homeland emerged as an imaginative and dynamic space in which memory, dream, myth, and personal experience interacted to produce multilayered meanings. Furthermore, the poetic image was found to function as an effective artistic tool for reconstructing homeland both semantically and aesthetically, reflecting the poets’ intellectual concerns and existential experiences. The study concluded that poetic imagery occupied a central position in pioneer poetry and played a decisive role in redefining the concept of homeland within the framework of modern Arabic poetic discourse. It recommended further comparative studies on the representation of homeland in modern Arabic poetry and greater attention to the aesthetic and symbolic functions of poetic imagery in literary criticism.

الشواهد الشعرية وأثرها في توجيه المسائل النحوية في كتاب معارف السنن للبنوري
This study examined the poetic evidence cited by Shaykh Yusuf al-Banūrī in his renowned hadith commentary Maʿārif al-Sunan and investigated its role in guiding grammatical issues related to the interpretation and understanding of Prophetic traditions. The research aimed to identify al-Banūrī’s methodology in employing Arabic poetic citations as linguistic evidence for explaining grammatical rules, clarifying syntactic constructions, and determining intended meanings in hadith texts. To achieve these objectives, the study adopted a descriptive-analytical methodology based on tracing the poetic citations contained in Maʿārif al-Sunan, classifying them according to their grammatical functions, and analyzing their significance within the context of hadith interpretation. The analysis also explored the relationship between poetic evidence, grammatical reasoning, and juristic understanding. The findings revealed that poetic evidence occupied a central position in al-Banūrī’s interpretive approach and served as a reliable linguistic authority for resolving grammatical ambiguities and supporting syntactic analysis. The study demonstrated that al-Banūrī effectively utilised authentic Arabic poetry to strengthen grammatical arguments, explain linguistic structures, and establish precise meanings in Prophetic traditions. Furthermore, the findings indicated that these poetic citations contributed not only to linguistic clarification but also to a deeper jurisprudential understanding of hadith texts by connecting grammatical interpretation with legal and semantic implications. The study concluded that poetic evidence constituted an essential methodological tool in al-Banūrī’s commentary and reflected the close integration of Arabic linguistic sciences with hadith scholarship. It recommended further investigation into the use of poetic evidence in classical Islamic commentaries and greater scholarly attention to the role of Arabic grammar in enhancing the interpretation of religious texts and preserving the linguistic authenticity of Islamic intellectual heritage.

دَورُ التّرجمةِ الأدبيّةِ في ربط التّواصلِ بين الثقافةِ العربيةِ والثقافةِ الأردية قراءةٌ في ترجمة ِشِعرِ العلّامة محمد إقبال إلى اللّغة العربية
This study examined the role of literary translation as a communicative bridge between Arab and Urdu cultures, with particular emphasis on the translation of Pakistani poetry into Arabic. The research aimed to explore how literary translation facilitated cultural interaction, intellectual exchange, and mutual literary understanding between the two linguistic traditions. Special focus was placed on the poetry of Allama Muhammad Iqbal, whose works gained significant recognition in the Arab world through extensive translation and scholarly engagement. To achieve these objectives, the study adopted a historical-survey methodology to trace the development of Arab Pakistani cultural and translational relations and employed an analytical approach to examine selected Arabic translations of Iqbal’s poetry produced by prominent Arab translators. The findings revealed that literary translation played a vital role in strengthening cultural communication between Arab and Urdu societies and contributed to the integration of Urdu poetic models into the Arabic literary and critical sphere. The study further demonstrated that the successful transmission of Iqbal’s poetic thought into Arabic reflected the capacity of translation to create enduring linguistic and cultural connections across diverse communities. It was concluded that the translation of Pakistani poetry, particularly Iqbal’s works, significantly enriched Arab literary discourse and enhanced intercultural understanding. The study recommended encouraging further translation projects, promoting collaborative academic research between Arab and Pakistani institutions, and supporting high-quality literary translations to deepen cultural dialogue and strengthen intellectual exchange between the Arabic and Urdu-speaking worlds.

- الرحلة العلمية في خطاب علماء القراءات - قراءة أدبية في أسفار ابن الجزري
This study examines and analyses a central dimension in the development of Islamic sciences, namely, the role of scholarly journeys (riḥlāt ʿilmiyya) in the emergence, consolidation, and dissemination of the science of Qurʾānic readings (ʿilm al-qirāʾāt). It adopts Imām Ibn al-Jazarī (d. 833 AH) as a representative case through which this scientific and pedagogical phenomenon is clearly manifested. The study proceeds from the premise that scholarly travel occupied a foundational position in Islamic intellectual culture, serving as a primary means for acquiring knowledge, verifying transmission, and ensuring methodological rigour. This practice was not confined to ḥadīth scholars but extended to all disciplines, including Qurʾānic readings, where travel became a criterion of scholarly authority, perseverance, and precision in transmission. The core of the study focuses on the chronological stages of Ibn al-Jazarī’s life, which are divided into five distinct periods to facilitate a clearer understanding of his biography and extensive travels. Each phase is examined in terms of its major stations, circumstances, and decisive moments. Drawing primarily on Ibn al-Jazarī’s own works—Ghāyat al-Nihāya fī Ṭabaqāt al-Qurrāʾ and Jāmiʿ al-Asānīd—the study demonstrates that his journeys constituted a comprehensive scholarly project that contributed significantly to the codification of Qurʾānic readings, the authentication of transmission chains, and the expansion of scholarly networks across the Islamic world. The article concludes that Ibn al-Jazarī’s experience represents a paradigmatic model of scholarly travel as an essential mechanism for preserving the integrity of Qurʾānic transmission.

المكان والزمان في رواية "مسرى الغرانيق في مدن العقيق"
This research paper examines the representation of space and time in Umayma Al-Khamis’s novel Masrā al-Gharānīq fī Mudun al-ʿAqīq, reading it within the horizon of modern narrative forms influenced by travel literature. Centered on the journey of the protagonist, Mazīd al-Ḥanafī, who departs from al-Yamāmah and moves through major cultural cities—most notably Baghdad, Jerusalem, Cairo, North Africa, and al-Andalus—the novel constructs a wide geographic map that functions not merely as a background but as a formative force shaping character, worldview, and intellectual transformation. The study traces how the narrative space is built through detailed description of cities, institutions, and everyday life—mosques, libraries, markets, inns, and houses—while also recording customs, beliefs, and social patterns, thus producing a travel-like documentary texture within a fictional framework. In parallel, the research highlights the novel’s temporal architecture, which is carefully dated and historically grounded, allowing time to operate as an evolving narrative event that interacts with ideological conflict and the tension between reason and authority. The paper concludes that Al-Khamis employs spatial mobility and historical time as two interdependent narrative engines that deepen the novel’s aesthetic value and reinforce its cultural and intellectual dimensions.

النظم والسياق عند أمين أحسن الإصلاحي وأثرهما في دلالة التنكير في تفسيره "تدبر قرآن"
This study examines Amin Ahsan Islahi’s (1904–1997) concept of Nazm as a governing structural principle of Qur’anic coherence and its intrinsic relationship with context in determining the semantic functions of indefiniteness (tankīr) in Tadabbur-e-Qur’ān. The research is grounded in the premise that Nazm cannot be understood independently of contextual indicators, and that lexical meaning emerges through syntagmatic position within the unified structure of discourse. Employing descriptive and analytical methodologies, the study demonstrates that Islahi adopts Nazm as a decisive criterion for excluding contextually detached interpretations and for affirming the Qur’an as an integrated, purposive system. The findings reveal that Islahi treats indefiniteness not as a fixed grammatical category but as a dynamic, context-driven semantic phenomenon, in which magnification constitutes the dominant function alongside other values such as minimization, generalization, multiplicity, disparagement, gradation, and deterrence. Applied analyses illustrate how meaning is generated through the interaction of lexical choice, textual position, and structural coherence, as exemplified by the magnifying sense of maʿād, the disparaging sense of qawm, and the multiplicity implied in kalima. The study concludes that nazm and context form an inseparable interpretive framework in Islahi’s exegetical methodology, rendering contextual tankīr a central tool for uncovering Qur’anic meaning.

الدلالة الصرفية للصيغ المزيدة في قصة سليمان النبي مع الهدهد في ضوء علم اللغة النفسي
This study presents a morphological analysis of the Qur’anic narrative of Prophet Sulaymān (peace be upon him) and the hoopoe, examined through a psycholinguistic framework to explore the relationship between morphological structure and psychological meaning in Qur’anic discourse. Focusing on augmented triliteral verb forms, the research adopts a descriptive–analytical methodology grounded in Arabic morphology and psycholinguistic theory. It classifies and analyzes the morphological patterns occurring in the narrative, tracing their frequency, contextual variation, and emotive resonance. The findings reveal that Qur’anic morphology functions not merely as a grammatical system but as an expressive and affective mechanism that evokes emotions such as amazement, mercy, affirmation, and divine warning. Moreover, these morphological patterns intensify the emotive force of divine speech and embody core theological concepts, including monotheism and divine justice. The study highlights the psychological depth of Qur’anic language, demonstrating that morphology plays a vital role in shaping the spiritual and emotional impact of the text. This interdisciplinary approach confirms the inseparable link between linguistic form and inner meaning in the Qur’an and recommends further integration of morphological and psycholinguistic analysis to uncover additional aesthetic and psychological dimensions of the sacred text.

جوانب بلاغية في تفسير الخطيب الشربيني "السراج المنير في الإعانة على معرفة بعض معاني كلام ربنا الحكيم الخبير"
The rhetorical approach constitutes one of the central dimensions of Qur’anic inimitability (iʿjāz). This study examines manifestations of Qur’anic eloquence in Al-Sirāj al-Munīr, the Qur’anic exegesis of Al-Khatib Al-Sharbeeni, a prominent scholar of the Shāfiʿī school. The research seeks to answer the main question: To what extent does rhetorical analysis shape Al-Sharbeeni’s exegetical methodology? Adopting descriptive and analytical methods, the study traces rhetorical phenomena in the text and evaluates their interpretive and aesthetic functions. The findings reveal three principal results: first, despite his primary identity as a jurist, Al-Sharbeeni demonstrates a sustained engagement with rhetoric as a tool for uncovering Qur’anic inimitability; second, his exegetical style closely aligns with guidance-oriented exegesis (tafsīr hidā’ī), characterized by clarity, conciseness, and semantic depth; third, his rhetorical interpretations occasionally reflect Ashʿarī theological commitments, which may influence contextual coherence. The study also highlights his deliberate rejection of the term sajʿ (rhymed prose), favoring fāṣilah to preserve the Qur’an’s stylistic distinctiveness. It is recommended that a concise, pedagogically oriented edition of Al-Sirāj al-Munīr be produced in line with the tafsīr hidā’ī model and that its rhetorical dimensions be further explored due to their significant linguistic and interpretive value.

تجلّيات المحبّة الربانية في الخطاب القرآني للنبيّ المصطفى ﷺ
This study analyzes representations of the physical beauty of the Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) as an expression of divine light within Qur’anic discourse, Prophetic tradition, and classical Sufi thought. Adopting a descriptive–analytical methodology, it examines selected Qur’anic verses, authenticated ḥadīth—particularly from al-Shamāʾil al-Nabawiyya—and Sufi interpretations to demonstrate that prophetic beauty functions as a symbolic sign of inner illumination and moral perfection rather than mere physical description. The findings reveal that physical beauty in prophetic representation is inseparable from ethical excellence, that Qur’anic rhetorical imagery links aesthetic form with moral meaning, and that Sufi perspectives emphasize harmony between outward appearance (ẓāhir) and inward reality (bāṭin). The study recommends further interdisciplinary research on Qur’anic aesthetics and greater engagement with Sufi hermeneutics to deepen contemporary understandings of prophetic representation. It concludes that the Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) embodies an ideal unity of physical grace and moral perfection, reflecting the model of al-Insān al-Kāmil in Islamic intellectual tradition.

الزوايا والمدارس القرآنية في أقاليم توات ودورها في نشر العلم والمحافظة على المخطوطات
This study presents a historical and analytical examination of the Zāwiyas and Qur’anic schools in the Tuwāt region, highlighting their pivotal role in the dissemination of knowledge and the preservation of manuscripts in southern Algeria. These religious and educational institutions functioned for centuries as foundational pillars of intellectual, spiritual, and cultural life. Adopting a descriptive–historical methodology, the research traces their emergence, development, and social impact, with particular attention to their endowment-based (waqf) systems that sustained free education, accommodation, and nourishment for students, teachers, and travelers. The findings demonstrate that the Zāwiyas of Tuwāt significantly contributed to Qur’anic memorization, jurisprudential studies, Arabic language sciences, and manuscript preservation, while also combating illiteracy and reinforcing Islamic identity during periods of political and social instability. Moreover, their manuscript collections constitute a vital component of Islamic and African intellectual heritage. The study concludes by stressing the urgent need for renewed scholarly and institutional efforts to preserve these manuscripts and to revitalize the role of the Zāwiyas as enduring centers of faith, knowledge, and cultural continuity.

الدلالة النفسية للتراكيب اللّغوية القرآنية في قصة امرأة عمران
This research paper encompasses the Psychological Significance of Qur’anic Linguistic Structures in the Story of the Wife of Imran. This study investigates how its foundational syntactic components—specifically declarative (khabariyyah) and non-declarative (insha’iyyah) sentences—transcend their conventional grammatical functions to convey deep psychological and emotional states. This research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, grounded in Arabic linguistic and syntactic theory. The analysis reveals that the declarative sentences in this narrative, while grammatically stating facts, are powerfully employed to express psychological undertones of supplication, spiritual yearning, and submission. The study demonstrates how these linguistic structures are laden with emotions of hope, humility, and a deep desire for divine blessings, showing that the Qur'anic syntactic precision is intrinsically linked to the conveyance of complex human emotions and spiritual states. The findings underscore the necessity of integrating linguistic and psychological analysis in Qur'anic exegesis (Tafsir). This interdisciplinary approach provides a deeper appreciation of the divine text's inimitability (I'jaz) and offers a methodological model for similar psycho-linguistic studies of other Qur'anic narratives.

الدلالة الصوتية في قصة سليمان عليه السلام والهدد في ضوء علم اللغة النفسي (دراسة صوتية)
This research paper encompasses the Phonetic Significance in the Story of Sulayman (PBUH) and the Hoopoe in the Light of Psycholinguistics. This study presents a psycho-phonetic analysis of the story of Prophet Sulayman (PBUH) and the hoopoe, aiming to uncover the connection between its phonetic structure and the psychological and emotional connotations it conveys. This research employs a descriptive-analytical approach grounded in psycholinguistic theory. It focuses on a close phonetic analysis of the selected Qur'anic passage, classifying consonant sounds, tracing their frequency, and interpreting their semantic and emotional significance within the narrative context. The analysis reveals that the Qur'anic discourse strategically employs a rich soundscape to express a spectrum of emotions and states, including anger, astonishment, affirmation, warning, and monotheistic conviction. The study demonstrates a strong, deliberate link between specific phonetic patterns and the psychological impact of the narrative, showcasing how sound serves as both an aesthetic and a profound psychological tool in the divine text. The findings affirm the exceptional nature of the Qur'an's linguistic inimitability (I'jaz), suggesting that its full appreciation requires an interdisciplinary approach that integrates phonetics with psychology. This methodology can be applied as a model for future research into the acoustic dimensions and psycho-linguistic effects of other Qur'anic stories and passages.

نشيد القلب في مواجيد الألم ومراقي الأمل في الشعر العربي الحديث
This research paper encompasses The Heart’s Hymn in the Sorrows of Pain and the Ascents of Hope in Modern Arabic Poetry. This study explores this duality, examining how poets transform personal and collective sorrow into a contemplative journey toward transcendence and hope. This research adopts a critical literary analytical approach, enriched by symbolic and Sufi interpretive dimensions. It conducts a close reading of selected poems by prominent figures—Hafez Ibrahim, Abu al-Qasim al-Shabbi, and Abdul Rahman Shukri—focusing on their use of symbolism, musical structure, and emotional language within political, social, and emotional contexts. The analysis reveals that complaint in modern Arabic poetry is not a passive expression of suffering but an active, artistic process that intertwines with hope. This often elevates the poem to a form of divine address, infusing it with Sufi overtones where lament becomes supplication and sorrow transforms into a spiritual ascent toward justice and truth. The study concludes that complaint, as an artistic act, carries deep philosophical and aesthetic significance. It suggests that this framework offers a valuable lens for re-evaluating other modern Arab poets, highlighting poetry's enduring role as a channel for processing existential anxiety and aspiring toward spiritual and societal hope.

السيرة الذاتية في مرآة الأدبين العربي والغربي: قراءة مقارنة في النصوص والأنواع
This research paper encompasses autobiographical writing in Arabic and Western Literature. This study offers a comparative analysis of the autobiographical genre in Arabic and Western literary traditions, examining its origins, forms, and cultural functions to address a gap in modern comparative literature regarding underrepresented self-narratives. This research employs a comparative and interdisciplinary methodology, integrating historical and analytical approaches. It investigates the development of autobiographical writing in both traditions, tracing its roots in classical Arabic *siyar*, philosophical reflections, and mystical writings, and comparing these with Western models. The analysis encompasses various forms, including memoirs, self-translations, and personal testimonies. The study finds that Arabic literature possesses a deep and established tradition of self-reflection that predates and parallels Western autobiographical models. It reveals that autobiography functions as a dynamic space where personal narrative, literary artistry, and cultural memory converge. The comparison highlights both unique and shared thematic concerns, such as the negotiation of individuality against societal norms, showcasing the genre's evolution into modern expressions of personal consciousness. The research underscores the need to broaden the canon of comparative autobiography to include diverse Arabic forms. It suggests that future studies should further explore specific sub-genres like mystical autobiographies or modern digital self-narratives to deepen the understanding of cross-cultural self-representation.

تمدد الفكر الحداثي في العقل العربي، رأي طه حسين في الفلسفة اليونانية نموذجًا
This research paper encompasses the Expansion of Modernist Thought in the Arab Mind. This study examines the nuanced response of Taha Hussein, a pioneering Arab intellectual, focusing on his advocacy for modern Western thought and his specific glorification of Greek philosophy as a foundational model for Arab intellectual renewal. This research employs a critical analytical approach, using Taha Hussein as a case study. It conducts a close reading of his key works, including *Leaders of Thought*, *Critique and Reform*, and *From Afar*, to analyze his philosophical orientation. The study investigates the intersection of his dual education—traditional at Al-Azhar and modern in the West—and its impact on his intellectual duality and his views on cultural borrowing and epistemological sovereignty. The analysis reveals that Taha Hussein was a fervent advocate for integrating Greek-rooted rationalism as the cornerstone of modernist thought in the Arab world. His work reflects a complex psychological and cultural identity, shaped by colonial influence, resulting in a distinct intellectual duality that is balanced between tradition and modernity. The research calls for a critical reassessment of Taha Hussein's legacy, particularly his assertions about the classical foundations of modern Arab thought. It suggests that his model provides a valuable framework for understanding the ongoing tensions between cultural authenticity and modernization in the Arab intellectual sphere, highlighting the need for a balanced critique of imported intellectual paradigms.

سيميولوجية التواصل عند المرأة في روايات نجيب محفوظ ت (2006م)
The research focuses on the semiotics of non-verbal communication in women within Naguib Mahfouz's The Cairo Trilogy (Between the Palaces, Palace of Desire, and Sugar Street), employing a descriptive-analytical methodology. The aim of the study is to explore the non-verbal communication methods used by women in the trilogy, with a focus on gestures, body postures and positions, facial expressions, and external appearances such as clothing and accessories. The research classifies non-verbal communication into: simple movements, which rely on a single body part, and complex movements that involve two or more body parts, often with the use of external objects. Naguib Mahfouz skillfully employed facial expressions, gestures, and body postures in his trilogy to convey emotions and societal norms prevalent during that period. The study also provides profound insights into the cultural and psychological dimensions of women in these novels. Eye movements are frequently present in the trilogy, revealing a wide range of meanings, from fear and admiration to doubt and affection. Furthermore, gestures involving the hands and head indicate diverse emotional states such as sadness, joy, or contemplation. Changes in the complexion of the face—such as redness, paleness, or other variations—reflect the psychological state and various emotions of the female characters, including happiness, anger, or sorrow. The study concludes that Naguib Mahfouz's precise use of the semiotics of non-verbal communication for women in his trilogy reflects the importance of non-verbal cues in revealing the reality of Egyptian women and their various roles during that era, as well as societal values, class differences, and personal conflicts of the female characters, all examined in the light of the context.

سمات الأنا الأنثوية في الخطاب الشعري الحديث بين روضة الحاج وفروغ فرخزاد (دراسة نقدية نفسية مقارنة)
The concept of the "poetic ego" refers to the unique poetic identity that distinguishes a poet in their creative expression. In modern literature, the poetic ego has undergone various transformations, particularly with the emergence of psychological theories by Sigmund Freud and literary movements such as Romanticism, Symbolism, and Existentialism. This study explores the characteristics of the modern female poetic ego by comparing the works of the Sudanese poet Rawda Al-Hajj and the Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad. The research investigates how these poets' works reflect the evolution of the poetic ego into a distinctly feminine voice. While Rawda Al-Hajj adheres to classical poetic forms imbued with modern sensibilities, retaining elements of traditional values, Farrokhzad's poetry is marked by rebellion against societal norms, reflecting a bold and unfiltered exploration of feminine identity. This comparative psychological study analyzes the interplay of literary and psychological dynamics, focusing on the poets' depiction of love, identity, motherhood, and societal constraints. The findings reveal the coexistence of traditional and modern elements in the female poetic ego, with Hajj’s work emphasizing resilience within boundaries and Farrokhzad’s embracing vulnerability and defiance. By contrasting these two voices, the study sheds light on the complexity of the female poetic ego in the modern era and its psychological and cultural implications.

جماليات الإيقاع الصوتي في موشحات ابن الصباغ الجذامي
The Andalusian Muwashshahat is one of the most prominent poetic arts that combined poetry and music, where linguistic beauty was mixed with vocal rhythm, which earned it a special splendor and a great influence in Arabic literature. Among the poets who stood out in this art was Ibn al-Sabbagh Al-leprosy, who was creative in crafting his mush in a distinctive artistic style, relying on the harmony of voices and the diversity of rhythms. In this article, we will discuss "the aesthetics of vocal rhythm in the Muwashshahat of Ibn al-Sabbagh Al-Gothami", highlighting how he employs poetic weights, intonation of words, and repetition of sounds in such a way as to make the Muwashshahat an integrated auditory palette. We will also be exposed to the aesthetic elements that the poet relied on to create an integrated musical experience in his texts, and how he blended sound rhythm with poetic images to forge texts that go beyond the written word to a touching sensory experience in the recipient.

دراسة دلالية للأدب الديني المترجم: أحاديث القتال أنموذجا
Sword is a tool of fear when it is in the hands of cruel people showing the inhumanity of human. But when it is in the hands of good tempered people, those who believe in Allah, His last Prophet, and the last day in this universe which is full of civilized and uncivilized cultures, here the reality of humanity comes into light. Allah has created humans with diverse nature, physique, and abilities. Some of them love to serve humans and among them who just want to rule them with cruelty and barbarism killing them, destroying them with various types of punishment. The history reveals these two faces of humanity in the story of two sons of Adam. That is why Allah has sent His Messengers to teach, guide and lead humans to the right path, justice, and good deeds. The last Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is Arab and the last revelation is in Arabic Language which is rhetorically, linguistically and culturally a vast language. Translating the religious literature into other languages is a challenging task due to its complex and vast linguistic nature. The words of our Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) should be translated correctly from Arabic into other languages. The word used for fighting in the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) contains deep meanings that cannot be understood without having a full comprehension of Arabic Language and its culture. This study aims to analyze Hadith as an example of religious literature that contains words of fighting and their translation to explain that Islam invites the humanity to peace.

المقاربة الأسلوبية بين صرامة المنهج ورهان المعنى (رؤى ومقاصد)
This paper comprehends the stylistic approach between the rigor of the process and the bet of meaning (visions and purposes). This study investigates the foundational principles of this approach, which aims to interpret literary discourse by systematically examining its linguistic levels to reveal hidden significations, visions, and emotional resonances. The research employs a theoretical and analytical methodology to delineate the stylistic approach. It focuses on the integrated examination of literary texts, moving from a partial analysis of specific linguistic data to a holistic understanding of the discourse. The approach distinguishes itself by relying on the objective tools of language science, criticism, psychology, and statistics, adhering to strict methodological techniques that prioritize scientific rigor over subjective impression. The study finds that the stylistic approach offers a structured pathway to meaning by balancing scientific procedure with interpretive goals. It successfully bridges the gap between purely intuitive criticism and dry linguistic formalism. The research suggests that the future of stylistic studies lies in further strengthening its interdisciplinary nature while maintaining its methodological integrity. It is proposed that applying this balanced approach to a wider corpus of texts, particularly in modern literature, can yield significant insights and validate its efficacy as a primary tool for literary interpretation.
