An Ongoing Project on Assessing the English Translation of Complete Taḍmīn (Implication of Meaning) in the Qur’an: The Seventh Sūrah (Chapter) Al-Aʕrāf
No full textThis paper is a part of an in-progress project which investigates four English translations of complete taḍmīn in the whole Qur’an. Taḍmīn involves the presence of an explicit verb, noun or adjective, followed by an explicit preposition with which it is not standardly collocated, and the expression of additional meaning through an implicit verb, noun or adjective, which standardly collocates with the explicit preposition. This study is an extension of Nouraldeen (2020; 2021a; 2021b; 2022a ; 2022b), which have investigated six chapters so far. Using the four-element model that was put forward in Nourladeen (2020, p. 240) and modified twice in Nouraldeen (2021a, p. 293; and 2022b, p. 144), this paper proceeds by discussing, analysing and assessing four English translations of complete taḍmīn in the seventh sūrah (chapter) al-Aʕrāf. The importance, and also the challenge, of complete taḍmīn lies in its invisibility to the translator and its absence in English. The theoretical framework of this study is established within the theories of Vinay and Darbelnet (1995, p. 342) and Dickins et al. (2017, pp 48-56), which suggest ‘explicitation’ of the ST, leading to ‘loss’ and ‘gain’ in the TT. Textual analysis is applied to the ST and the TT based on two sources and three dictionaries. None of the four translators are aware of taḍmīn in translating the Qur’an, except for Abdel Haleem, Hammad and Khattab in āyah 1, who translate the four elements of complete taḍmīn, and Abdel Haleem in translating āyah 5. The Qur’anic style should be taken into consideration when translating the Qur’an unless the translation would sound awkward in English
“Challenging the Authority of Religious Interpretation in Saudi Arabia::The Transformation of Suhaila Zain al-Abedin Hammad
No full textTaking as its starting point that a male monopoly is a problem in the recognition of Islamic religious authority, especially in matters related to women, this chapter discusses the possibilities for challenging this monopoly. The author argues that it is necessary to create alternative sources of authority from within the realm of religious scholarship through women scholars laying direct claim to the interpretation of sacred texts. Al Fassi uses the works and experiences of the Saudi scholar, Suhaila Zain al-Abedin Hammad, as a specific example for this approach. Hammad, an accomplished religious scholar, has worked tirelessly through her writing, both in books and her weekly newspaper column, to address difficult issues in Islamic law, to rethink the use of weak hadiths, and to critique Saudi legal rulings. The chapter also considers the intense backlash against her work and her impact on Saudi public opinion. © 2020 selection and editorial matter, Dina El Omari, Juliane Hammer and Mouhanad Khorchide; individual chapters, the contributors
Adoption strategies, corruption and accounting quality: international evidence / Abdullah Hammad Alhammad … [et al.]
Get PDFThe empirical literature on the effects of IFRS adoption strategies on accounting quality focuses on more IFRS enforcement strategy. Limited studies have, in particular, examined IFRS modification strategy in relationship with accounting quality. In this regard, this paper investigates the impacts of different IFRS adoption strategies on accounting quality. The mediating effect of control of corruption on the relation between different IFRS adoption strategies on accounting quality is also examined. The paper uses the two step system GMM estimator with a sample of 35 countries for the periods that span from 2013 to 2017. The findings reveal that different IFRS adoption strategies have significant influences on accounting quality. The different IFRS adoption strategies, namely enforcement and modification are positively associated with accounting quality with measure of timely loss recognition (β1 = 0.190, p < 0.001) and (β2 = 0.189, p < 0.001), respectively. These findings are consistent with the prior studies. The findings underline the importance of distinction between different IFRS adoption strategies. Furthermore, control of corruption is found to mediate the associations between different IFRS adoption strategies and quality of accounting, indicating accounting quality is related to control of corruption, which in turn is affected by both IFRS enforcement and modification strategies. Additionally, the accounting quality is strongly improved by IFRS enforcement and modification through the control of corruption as mediation. This implies that the control of corruption in a given nation improves in accounting quality more than IFRS adoption strategies. These findings provide flesh insights to stakeholders and contribute to accounting quality literature
The Mythology of Defeat: The Yom Kippur War of October (1973) in Ada Aharoni’s Toward a Horizon of Peace, New Historicist Reading
No full textUsing a New Historicist methodology, this paper explores the ideology in selected poems by Ada Aharoni. The paper begins by investigating the three major paradigms used by Israeli society to mythologize the Yom Kippur War. After that, an overview of the new historicism theory is presented, with a focus on the concepts of power and ideology. This helps to develop the argument of the paper into illustrating the connection between Aharoni and new historicism by discussing how she achieves her ideology in her poetry. Finally, the paper presents an analysis of selected poems from a new historicist perspective

Get PDFThis research is a study and investigation of a manuscript on the biography, beauty and morals of our Noble Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, whose name is (Manahil al-Safa fi Dhat al-Mustafa, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him) by Abu al-Abbas Ahmad ibn Abd al-Hayy al-Halabi al-Fassi (d. 1120 AH), which is a manuscript of nine papers, in which he spoke. The author before describing the beauty of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, with an introduction to the meaning of beauty and majesty in the language, and he mentioned benefits and warnings in it, then he described the beauty of God Almighty, and after that he mentioned the images of the Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, physical and moral beauty that God Almighty preferred and distinguished him from other prophets And other people and made it a reason to win the hearts of many people and their entry into the religion of God Almighty. In his words, the author of the manuscript cited verses from the Noble Qur’an, hadiths from the Sunnah, and verses from Arabic poetry, in addition to the rhetorical and jurisprudential sayings of scholars, through which he clarifies the intended meaning of the images of beauty mentioned or mentioned by scholars who preceded him, relying on various sources, including: Books Interpretation of the Noble Qur’an, books of the Prophet’s biography, books of the noble Prophet’s hadith, books and dictionaries of the Arabic language, books of jurisprudence, books of mysticism and faith
The influence of Ibn Mas’ūd’s reports found in al-Mabsūt of al Sarakhsī on the Hanafi school of law
No full textAshâb-ı Kirâm (r.a.) Rasulüllah'ın (s.a.v.) ilk muhataplarıdır. Bu insanlar, Kur'ân-ı Kerîm ve hadis-i şeriflerde pek çok defa övülmüştür. Müslümanlar için örnek bir nesil olmuştur. Onların içinde bazısı sahabenin büyüklerinden sayılmıştır. Bir kısmı da Rasulüllah'ın (s.a.v.) ağzından cennetle müjdelenmiştir. Bunlardan on kişi aşere-i mübeşşere adıyla meşhur olmuştur. Tezimizin odağı olan Abdullah b. Mesud (r.a.) hem sahabenin büyüklerinden addedilmiş hem de bir rivayete göre cennetle müjdelenen on kişi içinde yer almıştır. Kendisi ilk Müslümanlardandır. Rasulüllah (s.a.v.) dönemindeki bütün savaşlara katılmıştır. Bütün bu meziyetleri yanında kendisinin ashap içinde öne çıktığı yönü ise ilmidir. İbn Mesud (r.a.) sahabenin fakihlerinden sayılmıştır ve bu hususta Efendimiz'in (s.a.v.) duasına mazhar olmuştur. Ayrıca günümüze kadar gelen dört fıkıh mezhebinden Hanefî mezhebinin ilmî silsilesi kendisine dayandırılmıştır. Ebû Hanife'nin (rh.a.) fıkıh ilmindeki silsilesi sırasıyla Hammad b. Ebû Süleyman, İbrahim en-Nehaî ve Alkame b. Kays vasıtasıyla Abdullah b. Mesud'a (r.a.) bağlanmaktadır. Öte yandan Hanefîler ondan gelen rivayetlere ayrı bir önem atfetmiştir. Tercihleri genelde onun tercihleri ile paralellik göstermiştir. Aradaki bu ilişkinin teorik olmadığı, bilakis pratikte birebir gözlemlendiği, işbu tezde ortaya konulmak istenmiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Hanefîlerin fıkıh alanındaki temel kaynaklarından Serahsî'nin Mebsût adlı mutavvel eseri, çalışmanın merkezine alınmıştır. Zira mezkûr eser Abdullah b. Mesud'un (r.a.) fıkhını izhar eden rivayetleri içerme ve bunlar hakkında Hanefîlerin takındığı tavrı gösterme açısından büyük önemi haizdir. Bu doğrultuda, Abdullah b. Mesud'un (r.a.) el-Mebsût'ta bulunan fıkhî rivayetlerinin tespit edilip söz konusu rivayetlerin müellif tarafından hangi suretlerde değerlendirmeye tabi tutulduğunun ana hatlarıyla ortaya konulması planlanmıştır. Hanefîlerin bu rivayetleri ne şekilde değerlendirdiğinin tespiti, Mebsût'ta ve seçilen diğer Hanefî kaynaklarında verilen açıklamalar muvacehesinde yapılmaktadır.Companions of Muhammad (s.a.w) are the first collocutors of him. They have been praised in Qur'an and Hadiths. Also they have been an exemplary generation for Muslims. Some of them are considered as prominents of this generation. And some were foretold to be amongst heirs of heaven. One part of them known as the ten with glad tidings of paradise has become known particularly. The focus of our dissertation, Abdullah ibn Masud (r.a.), is considered a prominent companion as well as one of the ten with glad tidings of paradise according to a narrative. He is one of the first believers of Islam. Also he has participated in all wars of Prophet Muhammad's (s.a.w.) era. Yet he has been known for his wisdom and knowledge among companions. He has been usually considered as a faqih amongst companions and he was honored by Prophet Muhammad's (s.a.w.) prayer in this regard. Furthermore, the order of scholarship of Hanafite school, which is one of the four schools of Islamic law have come to date, is based on himself. The order of Abu Hanifa (r.a.) in Islamic law is connected through Hammad ibn Abū Suleiman, Ibrahim al-Nakhai and Alqama ibn Qays to Abdullah ibn Masud (r.a.). In addition to this, Hanafites has attached particular importance to his narratives. Their preferences have usually been in line with his. In this dissertation, it is aimed to put forward that this connection between them is not only theoretical but also can be observed in practice. With this purpose in mind, this study is based on Sarakhsy's al-Mabsūt, one of Hanafite's main sources in Islamic law. Being a large-scale work, it has been able to include narratives indicating Abdullah ibn Masud's (r.a.) fiqh as well as Hanafite's evaluations towards these narratives, making it a very important work in the literature. In this regard, it is intended to identify the fiqh narrations of Abdullah ibn Masud (r.a.) found in al-Mabsūt and to outline how these narrations were evaluated by the author. The determination of how the Hanafites evaluate these narrations is made in light of the explanations provided in Mabsūt and other selected Hanafite sources
ZAXINONE SYNTHASE 2 regulates growth and arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in rice
No full textCarotenoid cleavage, catalyzed by CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASEs (CCDs), provides signaling molecules and precursors of plant hormones. Recently, we showed that zaxinone, a apocarotenoid metabolite formed by the CCD ZAXINONE SYNTHASE (ZAS), is a growth regulator required for normal rice (Oryza sativa) growth and development. The rice genome encodes three OsZAS homologs, called here OsZAS1b, OsZAS1c, and OsZAS2, with unknown functions. Here, we investigated the enzymatic activity, expression pattern, and subcellular localization of OsZAS2 and generated and characterized loss-of-function CRISPR/Cas9-Oszas2 mutants. We show that OsZAS2 formed zaxinone in vitro. OsZAS2 was predominantly localized in plastids and mainly expressed under phosphate starvation. Moreover, OsZAS2 expression increased during mycorrhization, specifically in arbuscule-containing cells. Oszas2 mutants contained lower zaxinone content in roots and exhibited reduced root and shoot biomass, fewer tillers, and higher strigolactone (SL) levels. Exogenous zaxinone application repressed SL biosynthesis and partially rescued the growth retardation of the Oszas2 mutant. Consistent with the OsZAS2 expression pattern, Oszas2 mutants displayed a lower frequency of AM colonization. In conclusion, OsZAS2 is a zaxinone-forming enzyme that, similar to previously reported OsZAS, determines rice growth, architecture and SL content and is required for optimal mycorrhization.This work was supported by baseline funding and Competitive Research Grants (CRG 2017 and CRG 2020) given to Salim Al-Babili from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. We are thankful to Dr. Imran Haider for helping with rice transformation, and Mr. Saad Hammad and Ms. Vijayalakshmi Ponnakanti for their help with greenhouse work
