The multifaceted role of Andalusian judges through the lens of Al-Muraqaba al-‘Ulya fīman Yastaḥiq al-Qaḍāʾ wa-l-Futyā by Abū al-Ḥasan al-Nabāhī
type: item
description: This study examines the multifaceted role of Andalusian judges through the lens of Al-Muraqaba al-‘Ulya fīman Yastaḥiq al-Qaḍāʾ wa-l-Futyā by Abū al-Ḥasan al-Nabāhī. It explores their contributions across three key domains: scientific, social, and economic. Scientifically, the judges engaged in teaching, authorship, scholarly travel, and intellectual debate. Socially, they combated heresies and moral corruption, contributed to charitable efforts, supervised endowments and orphan affairs, and promoted virtue through public guidance. Economically, they played a role in regulating markets, managing public resources, and responding to economic crises through religious leadership and legal rulings. The study adopts a narrative-analytical approach and relies primarily on al-Nabāhī’s work, alongside other biographical sources. It concludes that the Andalusian judge was not merely a legal functionary, but a scholar, reformer, and social guide who exercised substantial influence in all aspects of public life.

The Role of Marvelous Characters in Al-Faqih's Novels
type: item
description: This study explores the role of marvelous characters in shaping the narrative events in the works of the author Al-Faqih, and how their presence enriched the narrative structure, while also investigating their origins. The research's significance stems from offering a fresh perspective on Al-Faqih's literary output, highlighting the marvelous world—a prominent artistic theme in his literature that has not received sufficient in-depth study. Furthermore, this research connects Al-Faqih's work to Arab and local heritage, contributing to the revival of aspects of this tradition. The study reveals the interconnectedness of these characters: jinn are linked to sorcerers as their servants, and some Muslim jinn aid righteous saints. These characters are also connected to transformed beings, as jinn, by means of sorcerers, often transform humans into animals, while righteous saints restore the transformed to their original forms. Marvelous characters are also associated with animals; certain animals are sought as offerings for sorcerers or to expel evil spirits. Al-Faqih masterfully utilized these characters to create a marvelous narrative that evokes anxiety and confusion, transporting the reader from the familiar to the extraordinary.

"Preliminary Report on the Training Excavations at the Balagrae Settlement During the Spring Seasons of 2018 and 2019."
type: item
description: This report deals with the archaeological training excavations at the Balaghrai site during the spring 2018 and spring 2019 seasons, the purpose of which was to train the students of the Department of Archaeology on scientific archaeological detection, and how to document the archaeological objects and architectural structures revealed by the excavation work, according to the methodology of single-content excavation, and to train them on documentation by writing, drawing and photographing, which resulted in Writing these two reports documenting the architectural structures, archaeological deposits, collecting finds such as pottery and coins, trying to date them, and linking them with the revealed walls and architectural structures and the stratigraphic sequence represented in Trench H2, and comparing them with what was found in previous excavations, especially the excavations of Sidi Akhrebesh, we concluded from this that the site of these excavations reflects the historical periods from the beginning of the first century BC to the fifth century AD. This site also shows the stages of recovery during the first century to the middle of the second century AD, and the relapse by monitoring the natural disasters represented by the earthquake of 262 AD and the devastating earthquake that occurred in 365 AD, then the continuation of settlement after the middle of the fourth century until the middle of the seventh century AD.

Similarities and differences between the architectural elements of Byzantine churches in the Cyrenaica region
type: item
description: This study deals with the church buildings that were built in the Cyrenaica region during the Byzantine Empire in the 5th and 6th centuries AD. These buildings are considered early examples of churches. This study relied on excavation reports and archaeological surveys conducted on churches that had not been excavated. The research methodology was to compare the architectural elements in these buildings and the building materials techniques. The results of this research are that the building materials were local, except for the marble and wood used in the ceilings, which were imported from the Mediterranean basin. The mosaic floors inside the churches were most likely laid by technicians who came from outside the region and trained the local church technicians. Also, the number of churches built east of Wadi al-Kuf were more than those built west of it. It can be concluded from the size of the rural churches and the amount of decoration in them that the economic situation in the region was prosperous during the fifth and sixth centuries AD.

Date Palm Cultivation in the Jaghbub Oasis: Prerequisites and Obstacles, 2023
type: item
description: This study is based on an attempt to shed light on palm cultivation in the Jaghbub Oasis and to identify the prerequisites that contribute to this and to identify some of the obstacles that negatively affect it, the most important of which is the absence of government support for this craft with the farmer's inability to cover the costs of cultivation in light of his limited income, which resulted in the neglect of palm trees and thus they became vulnerable to diseases and pests that spread corruption in the palm tree As for the climatic factors in the oasis, they are considered among the most important factors that positively affect palm cultivation. From this standpoint, the study recommends greater attention to the agricultural sector and appropriate support from the government to make the palm tree one of the most important economic resources in the country, especially since the palm fruit has a very great nutritional value.

The Party Conflict in Cyrene during the Republican Era and its Effects on the Region
type: item
description: The Greek cities in Greece witnessed a development in their political systems. Some of them had a system that moved from monarchy to aristocracy to democracy, as happened in the city of Athens. Others had systems whose development was limited only to the king and the aristocrats, i.e. a monarchy-aristocracy, as happened in the city of Sparta. The city of Cyrene in Libya inherited this political development in its constitutions from monarchy to aristocratic and democratic, then returned again to the rule of aristocrats only. This development was caused by the political parties and the conflict between them, which had a great impact on the future of the city of Cyrene and its region. The political development in the city-state of Cyrene was limited to the transition from monarchy to aristocratic rule, while the democratic system failed miserably in managing the city's governance, unlike the aristocrats who had political experience. This research relied on the narrative, analytical, and comparative approaches.

Iconoclasm Movement (726-787 AD)
type: item
description: The Iconoclasm began during the reign of Emperor Leo III in (717-741 A.D), who issued a decree in (726 AD) prohibiting the worship of icons, and requiring the removal of statues represented in religious images such as images of Jesus and Mary, as well as the prohibition of worshiping images of saints and crosses from churches, monasteries and Houses. The Iconoclasm did not stop with the death of Leo III, but continued during the reign of his successors.it seems that Iconoclast controversy did not affect the Orthodox Church only, but also permanently influenced relations between the Byzantine and Rom (Catholic Church). This paper investigates the first period of Iconoclasm, which ended with the Second Council of Nicaea in 787A.D, and after which it called the new period of Iconoclasm. This paper also clarifies although the idea of the conflict was religious, in essence it was a conflict between the emperors and the church, a conflict from which the Emperor Leo III and his successors sought control of the church.

Terminology and Cognitive Science
type: item
description: Abstract: This research aims to approach terminology from a cognitive perspective It will be divided into two main sections: theoretical and applied. In the theoretical part, we traced the transformation of the term from a linguistic unit to a specialized knowledge unit. In the applied part, the term "character" in literary and narrative dictionaries was an example of this. We concluded that viewing a term as a knowledge unit does not negate any definition of the term, regardless of how its meaning varies with the contexts in which it appears or how its meaning has evolved over time. We concluded that a cognitive approach to terminology is a way to solve the problem of multiple concepts and multiple terms, especially if this approach is applied computationally.

The opinion of the mujtahid and its effect on rulings
type: item
description: This research deals with one of the things that afflict the human soul in levels of suspicion, and the third demand dealt with the focus of this research, which is the effect of suspicion on Islamic rulings. It was determined through this research that suspicion has multiple meanings through the use of this word in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and that what is meant by suspicion among jurists is what is less than certainty, so that the mujtahid is overcome by the correctness of what he went to, and by following perceiving things, which is suspicion and its relationship to deriving rulings, explaining the confusion that some people have fallen into as a result of their misunderstanding of the Qur’an’s use of this word, and how scholars of jurisprudence have employed it in deriving many jurisprudential rulings. This was through an introduction, three demands, and a conclusion. The first demand discussed the nature of suspicion and its types, while the second demand was about the the sources of jurisprudential rulings, it became clear that many jurisprudential rulings are based on suspicion. If we abandon this approach, many jurisprudential rulings that were built on the preponderance of suspicion would be lost.

Science as a Psychological Approach: A Critical Analytical View of Science in its Psychological Dimensions
type: item
description: This research aims to shed light on the psychological dimension in scientific practice. The core issue (research problem) was represented in the following question: Is science an activity conducted according to strict mechanical rules (adhering to the scientific method and achieving the goals of understanding and explanation), such that it cannot be viewed outside of this framework, or are there other psychological dimensions that influence this practice, thereby forming another perspective through which science can be understood? The researcher addressed this topic in an introduction, three sections, and a set of conclusions. The first section is titled: "Psychological Motivations in the Structure of Scientific Practices.". The second section: "Psychological Barriers to Practicing Science." The third section: "Psychological Conflicts.". The researcher arrived at several conclusions, generally crystallizing in the idea that science has additional psychological (mental) dimensions that go beyond its method (the scientific method) and its goals (understanding, explanation, prediction, control, and regulation). These dimensions represent an angle through which scientific practices can be viewed, thus providing an approach for understanding the essence of science.

description: Reading, speaking, listening and writing are generally known as the fundamental abilities of acquiring a second foreign language, with listening being the most important. To communicate, most language learners aim to master one of the four primary language skills and use the language successfully. According to some language learners, Practice and improvement are necessary to master listening, which is one of the hardest abilities. Thus, this study's primary goal was to investigate second language learners' difficulties regarding their listening skills. Therefore, the present study examined listening comprehension problems in a sample of Libyan English learners. Students' perceptions of problems in listening to spoken content were reviewed to improve their oral perception and comprehension skills in the future. A questionnaire on listening comprehension problems was used, and 56 Libyan students provided data. The study results demonstrated that Libyan students had many listening problems. This not only affected their language learning performance but also their overall academic performance. Based on these findings, these recommendations were made to EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners in Libya, foreign language teachers, text designers, and program.

Agnosticism between Omar Khayyam and Elia Abu Madi: A Comparative Study
type: item
description: Poetry has a great role in expressing poets' thoughts as well as their feelings, hence the philosophy of many poets was manifested in their works. Omar Khayyam is considered one of those famous Eastern poets whose works were heavily loaded with his philosophical ideals, which influenced a large number of poets of different times and cultures. Khayyam’s ideology appears to be in affiliation with other agnostic poets, such as the Lebanese poet Elia Abu Madi in his poem ‘Talismans.’ This research adopts analytical and interpretive approaches to study agnosticism in Khayyam and Abu Madi. We conclude that both poets highlighted their agnostic ideas in their poetry, however, it was broader and more apparent in Khayyam’s than that in Abu Madi’s. For example, Khayyam’s poetry touched on the divine self, Heaven and Hell. As a result, Khayyam resorted to wine to get rid of his confusion regarding every existential matter that confronted him. Abu Madi, on the other hand, seeked refuge in nature to clarify his doubts and reduce the burden of confusion he experienced. This research aims to focus on the confusion of both poets regarding existential matters, which was not previously addressed in the articles that dealt with the two poets. The research also works on clarifying their thoughts on the one hand, and bringing them closer together on the other hand, in order to focus on comparative studies between these two cultures.

Libyan EFL University Students’ Perceptions on Scrabble and Word Ladder Games as Boosters to English Vocabulary Acquisition and Retention: A Follow-Up Study
type: item
description: Following a previous study by Tuati (2024) measuring the effectiveness of Scrabble and Word Ladder Games on reading comprehension and critical thinking, this study surveys student perceptions on their participation in these games as learning tools for vocabulary acquisition and retention before, during, and after gameplay. Findings indicate that most students find the games enjoyable and motivating, with notable long-term retention and more self-confidence in vocabulary use. The findings also report students’ readiness to reuse such games for learning EFL. The study highlights the importance of engagement in vocabulary learning and suggest improvements for future implementations of game-based learning in EFL classrooms. Finally, the study affirms that while vocabulary acquisition and retention are evident, sustained vocabulary knowledge requires reinforcement activities beyond gameplay.

Proportionality in ending the verses with the beautiful names and attributes, An applied rhetorical study on Surat Al-Hadid
type: item
description: The Holy Qur’an is a miraculous book in its wording and meaning, and it is an overflowing spring. Whenever scholars stand on one side of it and think that they have reached its end, many aspects open up for them, and it becomes clear to them that they are standing on its shore. Therefore, every day scholars discover new faces of the miracles of the Holy Qur’an. The most complete of these aspects is the graphic miracle in every word of the Qur’an, indeed, in every verse and surah of His verses and surahs, and one of the types of this miracle is “the proportionality in the endings of the verses” and their relationship to the subject of the verse. The analytical method was employed in this study in order to reach the desired goal, taking Surat Al-Hadid as a field of study, Which reached a number of results, including: One of the most wonderful forms of the eloquence of the Qur’an and its miraculous organization is the proportionality between the meanings at the end of the verses, as they are closely linked to what came before them, providing a foundation for what comes after them and witnessing that this Qur’an is from the Wise and All-Knowing.

Autonomous learning among private and pubic learners
type: item
description: In this article we first provide a theoretical background to our study by explaining the most important concepts of our research; this is followed by a description of the data collection procedures. Next, we present our hypothetical model of motivational factors, self-regulatory strategies, and autonomous learning behavior and show how the data provide support for our conceptualization of the interaction of these constructs. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and pedagogical implications of the findings of our study. Autonomous learning will be dealt with in this paper by discussing some crucial elements that ought to exist in this process, for learners to develop an inner instinct to learn autonomously. Another important perspective in this paper is comparing a private learning setting to a public learning setting, in order to figure out the elements that aid learners in each setting to improve their responsibility towards their learning autonomously. Learners are usually not used to the concept of learning autonomously, in that respect they need a certain setting with appropriate tools and aids, with an open mentality on both sides; the teacher and learner to adapt this learning process.
