Generative music with stochastic diffusion search
No full textThis paper introduces an approach for using a swarm intelligence algorithm, Stochastic Diffusion Search (SDS) – inspired by one
species of ants, Leptothorax acervorum – in order to generate music from plain text. In this approach , SDS is adapted in such a way to vocalise the agents, to hear their “chit-chat” . While the generated music depends on the input text, the algorithm’s search capability in locating the words in the input text is reflected in the duration and dynamic of the resulting musical notes. In other words, the generated music depends on the behaviour of the algorithm and the communication between its agents. This novel approach, while staying loyal to the original input text, when run each time, ‘vocalises’ the input text in varying ‘flavours’
Studying and Investigation the Manuscript Of «Al-Nubtha Mn E\u27lm Al-Balagah Wa Tawabiu\u27ha» Written by Shaikh Abdul-Rahim Al-Abanasi
No full textThere is no doubt that the inspection is a dynamic process that is resorted to by the expert of this way and took a path in which he sought to reveal the hidden signs and symbols that needed attention in checking its texts which concealed by time until they have the opportunity to appear and be exposed. This study that I presented contains two important assets upon which such studies are based, namely: the study and the inspection. It is a manuscript named «Al-Nubtha mn E\u27lm Al-Balagah wa Tawabiu\u27ha», written by Shaikh Zain Al-Din Abdul-Rahim Al-Abanasi Al-Shafiq\u27i (May God have mercy on him). This book traces the arts of rhetoric and their artistic and taste paths. The joy of inspection comes through the correct verification of the text as it was written. It also contributes to supplementing the library with the heritage of the ancestors, so that it can be accessible to those interested and be useful in its content. This research came in two parts: the first part is a study on the author and the book, and the second part devotes it to the verified text. As well as research results and a list of resources and references

ZAKAT HASIL TAMBAK GARAM DALAM PERSPEKTIF MAQASID AL-SHARI’AH ABDUL MAJID AL-NAJJAR
No full textMost of salt farmers consider the result of salt ponds are assets which are unnecessarily required to pay zakat. It iss because the result of salt ponds are not assets which are mentioned explicitly in the quran verse as assets that must be issued to zakat. Therefore, the author tries to study the zakat law from the result of salt ponds from the perspective of maqasid al-sharia by Abdul Majid al-Najjar. It is known from the result of this study that in the zakat resulting from salt ponds there is a maqasid al-kulliyah (realizing the welfare of the people and the distribution of wealth), maqasid al-nau’iyah (giving a rise to a sense of solidarity and enthusiasm to help each other between the rich and the poor), and maqasid al-juz'iyyah (purifying wealth and self, as well as cleaning charity and result of operations). The result of salt ponds are assets for which zakat must be issued and are categorized as commercial assets based on several reasons, namely: first, there are maqasid that must be realized; secondly, it is kasab; third, the result of salt ponds are not bound by the obligation of other zakat in essence; fourth, it intention/purpose to be sold; and fifth, the fulfillment of ‘illat zakat, which is al-nama’ (growing)

Abdülmecid Samuli hayatının en azından bir dönemini Mısır'da geçirmiştir. Aynı zamanda mutasavvıf olan müellifin birbirinden farklı alanlarda kaleme aldığı dört eseri bulunmaktadır. er-Risâletü'n-Nâfiʿa fi’l-Hisâb ve’l-Cebr ve’l-Hendese'nin birinci makalesi olan hesap bölümü oldukça kapsamlıdır. Mukaddime, birinci kısım ve ikinci kısım olmak üzere üç bölümden oluşmaktadır. Mukaddimenin amacı Hint rakamlarını tanıtmak ve on tabanlı sayı sistemini açıklamaktır. Birinci kısımda doğal sayılarla işlemler, ikinci kısımda ise kesirli sayılar ile işlemler anlatılmıştır. Mısır riyazi ilimler geleneğinin temsilcisi olan hesap bölümü hem hindî hem de hevâî hesabı içermektedir.
Tez kapsamında müellifin hayatı ve eserleri ile ilgili bir bölüm hazırlanmış ve er-Risâletü'n-Nâfiʿa'nın hesap bölümünün tahkik ve tercümesi sunulmuştur. Aynı zamanda modern matematik diline yakınlaştırabilmek ve bilim tarihi içerisindeki konumunu tespit edebilmek amacıyla matematiksel değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Değerlendirmede aynı ekol içerisinde kaleme alınmış eserlerden istifade edilmiştir.In this study, the calculation section of the mathematical book named al-Risala fi 'ilm al-Hisāb wa al-Jabr wa al-Handasa which was written by Abd al-Majid al-Sāmūlī, one of the scholars who lived in the 16th century in the Ottoman Empire, was examined. He spent at least a part of his life in Egypt. The author, who was also a Sufi, wrote four books in different fields.
The calculation section, which is the first article of al-Risala fi 'ilm al-Hisāb wa al-Jabr wa al-Handasa, is quite comprehensive. It consists of three parts; the introduction, the first part, and the second part. The aim of the introduction is to introduce the Hindu numerals and to explain the decimal number system. In the first part, the operations with whole numbers, and in the second part operations with the fractions are explained. The calculation section, which is one of the representatives of Egypt tradition on mathematical sciences, includes Indian (hisab al-hindî) and mental types (hisab al-khawāī) of arithmetic.
Within the scope of the thesis, a chapter on the life of the author and his works was prepared, translation and editio princeps of the calculation section of Risala fi 'İlm al-Hisāb were presented. It was subjected to mathematical analysis in order to bring it closer to modern mathematical language and to determine its position in the history of science. In the analysis, books written in the same tradition were used
Astrology in literature: how the prohibited became permissible in the Arabic poetry of the mediaeval period
No full textThis thesis is concerned to position the art of astrology within the context of classical Arabic poetry, primarily by investigating and elucidating attitudes to the notion of
qadar (fate) and the ideology in which it was embedded. These attitudes were revelatory of the broader world view of the Arabs of those periods, and their shifts from those held in the pre-Islamic and early Islamic eras tell us a good deal about the importance given to the nature and role of fate and about the various understandings of its influence. The pre-Islamic Arab's notion of qadar was in some ways similar to that of the early Muslims: both emphasised predetermination and the irresistible power of fate. But while the jahilf (Pre-Islamic) Arabs identified fate with the malign power of dahr (Time), the Muslims believed the power of fate lies in the hands of God the
Omnipotent, who alone is responsible for the fate of the whole universe. Thus the astrology of the pre-Islamic era was one aspect of divination (kihana) and claimed to be
able to reveal in advance an individual's destiny, which could be avoided by taking certain precautions. These precautions, however, were considered effective only in
relatively trivial cases; they were useless in the areas of major impact: a person's happiness or misery (shaqiiwa aw sa ada), sustenance (rizq) and one's term (ajal), the
three inevitable and irresistible manifestations of fate. In the Islamic period not only these major aspects of life are governed and controlled by the Omnipotent; the destiny
of the universe, in even its most minute details, is determined and controlled by God alone. Astrology was considered to be of no value whatsoever, and its practitioners were subject to the death penalty. These two irreconcilable views are evident in early Islamic poetry, which reflected clearly the response of poets, and society, to astrology from the perspective of qadar.
When the orthodox caliphate was replaced by dynastic rule the status of astrology was changed dramatically. The idea that the stars, as indicators, play a role in the life of
human beings found popowerful supporters in some governors of the Islamic world, who allowed astrology to fulfil a public function regardless of the hostility of the official
religion of that society. This social phenomenon generated rich material of a controversial character in the realm of literature. Investigating the factors, motivations
and impact of mediaeval political, theological and philosophical attitudes to astrology, in relation to the notions of free will and predestination, is the concern of this study
