The Cult of Khidr and Khidr Rituals in Alawites
No full textWOS: 000543460400007In folk beliefs Khidr is the symbol of hope, future and desolation. Khidr is saint, dervish and savior. He is the helper of the difficult life. He is the guide of those who are stranded. He is the punisher of evil. He drank water of immortality and he is immortal and divine light. Khidr is the name of the world of social phenomenon, hope and expectations that people have in the world of belief. The foundation of Khidr thought and belief is to help the poor, the orphans and the needy people. The social scream, which is formed by the insemination of the life lived in thought, turns into faith and takes place in the folk psychology for thousands of years. In this form, Khidr is the voice of the poor, needy people and orphans. On the one hand, he helps the poor, and on the other hand, he becomes the punisher and the devastator of those who have money and property but don't help the poor and people in need. There are many beliefs about Khidr from the Middle East to Central Asia; from the Balkans to the Caucasus up in a wide geography. The existence of Khidr has always been discussed from the mythological data to the old folk beliefs of the Middle East and the sacred books of the Torah, the Bible and the Qur'an. Khidr takes place in many narratives (legends, stories, epics, etc.) and beliefs. From this aspect, he has some syncretic features as well. Khidr is the the main object and starting point of the festivals and ceremonies such as Hidirellez Festival celebrated in Turkey, Nauryz in Kazakhstan and Khidr Nebi Festival in Azerbaijan. When Khidr comes to earth, spring comes, the soil gains vitality, and animals and people can be fed more easily. On the other hand, Khidr appears as a Godlike figure in Alawite people's beliefs and practices in Turkey. Along with Hazrat Ali, Khidr is one of the most divine characters of time and space, and also of Alawite way, decency and belief. Almost all of the oaths made in the name of God (the Truth) are also made in the name of Khidr. The expression that he is "one of the saint / protector servants" guiding Hazrat Musa testifies to his supremacy. At the same time, Khidr is the form that appears directly in God or Hazrat Ali in many beliefs. Among the Alevis, while there is no fasting, Jem, whirl, bite, month or day dedicated directly to Hazrat Ali within a certain calendar, there are rituals, practices, holy days and a month dedicated to Khidr such as Khidr fasting, Khidr Jem (Cem), Khidr eid, Khidr bite, Khidr halvah (kavut), Khidr prayer, Khidr wishes, Khidr visit, Khidr whirl and so on. All of these characteristics point out the presence of Godlike qualities of Khidr and the cult of Khidr among Alawites far beyond the thought. These days on which fasting, jem execution, sacrifices and wishes are held, take place within a period of approximately 30-40 days, which is called Khidr days and Khidr month. In this article, elements and practices that construct the cult of Khidr have been interpreted within this framework

No full textAnisotropic behavior and deformation of composite weathered sandstone and shale under destructive and non-destructive stresses / Hasan Ali Abbas Alhamwi
Full text linkThe heterogeneity of interbedded weathered sandstone-shale sedimentary Kenny Hill
formation is the major challenge for geotechnical engineers to evaluate this rock mass
behavior, particularly, due to the anisotropy induced by the weathered shale bedding
plane orientation and interbedded joint interface orientation. This study aimed to
evaluate the anisotropic behavior and the micro-deformation of composite model that
contribute to the interaction between two different stiffness rock material under
destructive and non-destructive stresses. The destructive tests are; Point Load Test
(PLT), Block Punch Test (BP), Direct Shear, Uniaxial, and Triaxial Compressive
Strength. Meanwhile, the non-destructive tests are; rebound hammer, resistivity,
Portable Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Indicator Test (PUNDIT), Free-Free Resonant
Column (FFRC), real-time ultrasonic and real-time acoustic emission. The anisotropy
of the weathered shale and composite model were measured with respect to the angles
of bedding plane orientation (0º, 30º, 45º, 60º and; 90º) and the angles of joint
orientation (30º, 45º, 60º and; 90º) respectively. The weathered sandstone VP values are
higher by 37% and 41% than composite and weathered shale respectively, while Vs
values are higher by 74% and 61% than composite and weathered shale respectively.
However, by increasing weathered shale angle of bedding plane orientation from 0º to
90º and composite joint orientation from 30º to 90º, the VP and Vs decrease by 70% and
88% for weathered shale and by 35 % and 65 % for composite model respectively. The
PLT and BI index strength of weathered sandstone is higher by 87% and 77% than the
weathered shale respectively. Meanwhile, the index strength of weathered shale
declined by 86% and 62% by decreasing the angle of bedding from 90º to 0º under PLT
and BI respectively. The compressive strength of weathered sandstone is higher than
composite C90 and weathered shale compressive strength by 75% and 77% under UC
stress, 49% and 78% under 2 MPa confining pressure, and by 38% and 69% under 4
MPa confining pressure respectively. The failure criteria behavior of shale under
compressive strength exhibit a remarkable alteration towards linear under 4 MPa
confining pressure than undulant under UC stress due to the decrease in the maximum
degree of strength anisotropy from 76% under UC stress to 41% under 4 MPa confining
pressure. Meanwhile, the composite model displays a U shape failure criteria under (8
MPa, 12 MPa and; 20 MPa) confining pressure, however, the maximum degree of
anisotropic strength increase from 16% under 8 MPa to 64% under 20 MPa for the
reason of failure mode alteration of composite 60º angle of joint orientation under
higher confining pressure. The failure mode of shale classified to failure along bedding
(A.B) and failure cross bedding (C.B). Whereas, composite tend to fail along joint (A.J),
cross joint (C.J) and cross bedding (C.B) within shale part. Therefore, the shear strength
characteristics of bedding plane, shale rock material, joint interface and; composite rock
material are defined accordingly. Eventually, the crack initiation (CI) stress levels are;
(43%-80%), (53%-78%), and (35%-55%) of the peak stress while the crack damage
(CD) stress levels are; (84%-97%), (78%-95%), and (75%-94%) of the peak stress for
weathered sandstone, weathered shale and; composite respectively. The study
significantly contributes to the influence of anisotropy on the geomechanical
characteristics and deformation behavior of weathered sandstone-shale interbedded
formation under various stress states with respect to joint orientation and the ratio of
shale interlayer
علی عباس حسینی کی کتاب’’اُردو ناول کی تاریخ اور تنقید‘‘ کا تحقیقی جائزہ: A book by Ali Abbas Hussaini A Research Review of History and Criticism of Urdu Novel
No full text Novel is an important genre in Urdu literature . And it’s an Italian word. Which literally means unique, quirky and new. In the literary term, the novel is said to be a story or a story, the subject of which is the events and accidents that occur in human life arranged in a particular style and order. Before novelization in Urdu, there was a period of short stories. The stories had traces of real-life motifs and fictional supernatural elements.Criticism of Urdu novel begins with Ali Abbas Hussaini. Magazines and articles on this subject must be found before them. While there is no formal book on criticism of the novel in Urdu literature. From this, Ali Abbas Hussaini makes an excellent achievement by writing “History and Criticism of Urdu Novel”. Like not forgotten
