Abstract

This article addresses an important issue related to the political rights of non-Muslims in Islamic jurisprudence. The issue of the rights of non-Muslims is one of the topics that Islam's enemies use to attack it, accusing the state of limiting the rights of non-Muslims. Furthermore, the contradiction of contemporary scholars' fatwas on political rights of non-Muslims in several issues is a reason to investigate these topics to show the model of the noble Islamic rule that respects diversity. Studies that have dealt with the rights of non-Muslims in Islamic society have generally addressed them, including books such as "Non-Muslims in Islamic Society" by Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi, "Citizenship Rights" by Sheikh Rashid Al-Ghannouchi, and "Political Rights and Freedoms in Islamic Law" by Dr. Rahil Grayebah, among other valuable books in their fields. However, they did not address this topic specifically. Therefore, this study adopts a descriptive, inductive, and analytical research methodology. The study concludes with several recommendations, the most important of which is that non-Muslims living in Islamic countries and holding their nationality have the right to citizenship, which gives them the right to enjoy political rights. It is also permissible for non-Muslims to form political parties and alliances, and they have the right to opposition, provided it does not contradict the principles of Islamic law.
ومضات تفريقية بين التورية والمشترك اللفظي والمجاز

Published: June 2023

ملخص

التورية هي أن يذكر المتكلم لفظا له معنيان؛ معنى قريب غير مقصود ومعنى بعيد هو المقصود. لكن ثمة صعوبة والتباسا في فهم مفهوم التورية هذا لأن بعض البلاغيين يقحم مفهومي المشترك اللفظي والمجاز في التورية حتى يصعب التفريق بين تلك المفاهيم الثلاثة. لذا، يحاول البحث التأكد من مفهوم التورية والفرق بينها وبين المشترك اللفظي والمجاز. ومن ثم، وظف الباحثون مفهوم التورية للحموي (1894م) وفضل حسن عباس (2007م) لتحقيق ذلك الهدف. انتهج الباحثون المنهج الوصفي التحليلي بالرجوع إلى آراء البلاغيين القديمة والحديثة بغية تحقيق الهدف. وقد خلص الباحثون إلى أن التورية تتعامل مع معنيين حقيقيين؛ معنى قريب وبعيد وا لمجاز مع معنيين؛ معنى حقيقي ومجازي وهي تخفي الصلة بين معنييها وليس ذلك في المجاز. ثم كثرة تداول لفظ وقلته تلعب دورا في التورية لا في المجاز والمشترك اللفظي رافد التورية الأساسي. يوصي الباحثون في نهاية البحث بأن يجرى مزيد من بحوث تهتم بدراسة التورية.

 Abstract

Al-Tauriyah is a single word uttered by a speaker that has two meanings; closer meaning that is not intended and distant meaning that is intended. However, there is a difficulty in understanding the concept of al-Tauriyah as some Arabic rhetoricians have treated the concept of al-Musytarak al-Lafẓī and al-Majāz as part of al-Tauriyah, leading to a difficulty in discerning between those concepts. Thus, the purpose of this study is to distinguish al-Tauriyah from al-Musytarak al-Lafẓī and al-Majāz. The researchers utilized al-Ḥamawī (1894M) and Faḍl Ḥasan ‘Abbās’s theory of al-Tauriyah (2007M) as a guidance to achieve the objective. The researchers employed a descriptive analytical method generally by referring to classical and modern scholarly opinions of Arabic rhetoricians which further support the theories to achieve the objective. The researchers concluded that al-Tauriyah deals with two real meanings; closer and distant meaning while al-Majāz deals with two meanings; real and metaphoric meaning, al-Tauriyah hides the relationship between its two meanings while al-Majāz does not, frequency of word use plays a role in al-Tauriyah and not in al-Majāz, and al-Musytarak al-Lafẓī is al-Tauriyah’s primary basis. The researchers hope that more research on al-Tauriyah will be carried out.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to find a picture of a stable financial system from the perspective of the Islamic economy. This type of research is literature research with qualitative methods using normative, historical, and phenomenological approaches. The normative approach is used to explain the concepts of Islamic economics. The historical approach is used to explain the chronology of the use of the current financial system. The phenomenological approach explains contemporary events related to the research topic. The data is taken from a wide variety of literature, such as the Qur'an, al-Hadith, and many articles from national and international reputational journals related to this research topic. Researchers used more than 50 articles from Scopus quartile indexed journals 1 to 4 in the last five years. The collected data are analyzed by a deductive method, that is, the process of data analysis of the general opinion of Islamic teachings that have been agreed upon by the majority of people and then narrowed down to a specific idea of the stability of the financial system in Islam. The results of this study were found due to the instability of the current financial system because it uses the concept of usury (in Arabic, usury). In contrast, usury in Islamic economics is legally haram. Therefore, the way to stabilize the financial system from an Islamic economic perspective is to use gold and silver currency standards, abolish the practice of usury, and supervise the turnover of money in society by the hisbah. This research can add to the academic discourse of Islamic economics.

A chronic metabolic condition with numerous etiologies, diabetes mellitus affects people all over the world. However, the prevalence of diabetes has increased recently, which is particularly troubling in developed countries. An estimated 537 million adults (20–79 years) were living with diabetes worldwide in 2021, of which 14% (74.2 million) were from India, the country with the second largest number of people with diabetes in the world. This number is projected to increase by 68% (124.9 million) over the next 25 years. More worryingly, slightly more than half (53.1%) of people with diabetes in India are unaware of their condition. The main causes of diabetes mellitus in the present period include an entirely sedentary lifestyle, eating a lot of junk food, and weight increase. Based on the symptoms, this metabolic condition is classified as Madhumeha in Ayurveda. It is a Vataja Prameha that develops as a result of different nidanas. As an outcome, Ayurveda should be considered for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

Authors: Torres Bernal Yudy Tatiana
Published: June 2023

This article reports a study that aimed to determine the level of impact of a didactic strategy mediated by memes to strengthen critical reading skills in elementary school students. We worked with 38 sixth grade students belonging to a Colombian educational institution. The research was carried out under a mixed approach, where the quantitative approach allowed to establish the variation of the student’s performance through a pre and post-test. The qualitative approach was used to characterize the students’ reading habits, to identify the type of memes they use on social networks, and to know their perception of the didactic strategy. The results show that the didactic strategy mediated by memes strengthened the students’ critical reading skills since there was a high learning gain of 0.859.

Published: June 2023

In 1989, 2002 and 2021, three axes were found in Moravia and Czech Silesia, which share a similar appearance and typology. Two of these axes (Bolatice near Opava, Hlinsko near Lipník nad Bečvou) can be dated to the Early Eneolithic (Funnel Beaker Culture), while the third (Archlebov near Ždánice) was a surface find in an area with pottery fragments corresponding to the Moravian Painted Ware Culture. The raw material used in the axes is almost macroscopically identical and has a striking mottled colour. Mineralogical methods (determination of magnetic susceptibility and density, X-ray diffraction record) were used for classification. The methods proved the raw material was nephrite with a significant presence of clinopyroxene. Our comparison with nephrite occurrences in Central Europe has shown the nephrite source at Jordanów Śląski in Polish Silesia to be the most probable source

Objective: To evaluate programmed death-ligand 1 immunohistochemical expression in the available variants of urinary bladder carcinoma, and to correlate its expression with the available clinicopathological features.Method: The retrospective study was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine, Kafrelsheikh University, Egypt, from February 2020 to April 2021, and comprised formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded specimens of urinary bladder carcinoma belonging to patients who had no history of radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Immunohistochemical staining of all cases was done using anti-programmed death-ligand 1 antibody. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.Results: Of the 70 specimens, 58(82.86%) had been obtained through transurethral resection of bladder tumours and 12(17.14%) through radical cystectomy. Also, 53(75.7%) specimens belonged to males and 27(24.3%) to females. The age of the cases ranged 34-83 years, and 59(84.3%) were aged ≥45 years. There were 27(38.6%) noninvasive bladder tumours and 43(61.4%) were infiltrating bladder carcinomas. Positive programmed death-ligand 1 expression was detected in 42(60%) cases. Age, gender and histopathological type were not significantly associated with the expression of programmed death-ligand 1.Conclusions: Programmed death-ligand 1 could be considered a predictive marker for aggressive bladder carcinoma and its immunohistochemical expression may aid in identifying selective patients for targeted immunotherapy.Keywords: Carcinoma, Cell, Urinary bladder, Neoplasms, Antigen, Receptor, Immunotherapy, Muscles.

The density  of tumour-infiltrating forkhead box P3 protein + regulatory T cells was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Overall survival and disease free-survival were assessed.Data was analysed using SPSS 25.Results: Of the 100 patients having mean age 44.9±9.1 years, 76(76%) had moderate/strong forkhead box P3 protein expression in tumour-infiltrating regulatory T cells, and 24(24%) with no/low expression. On follow-up, Patients with moderate/strong expression had a significantly greater rate of recurrence (p<0.05). Disease-free survival was substantially shorter in patients with moderate/strong expression compared to those with little or low expression (p=0.035). Compared to individuals with no/low expression, patients with moderate/strong expression had a greater rate of mortality, but the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05).Conclusions: High density of forkhead box P3 protein + regulatory T cells in Egyptian women with breast cancer may serve as a prognostic indicator.Keywords: T-Lymphocytes, Prognosis, Immunohistochemistry, Breast neoplasms, X chromosome.

Objective: To compare the outcome of off-pump and on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery in patients with left main coronary artery disease.Method: The randomised, controlled, prospective, multicentric study was conducted in 2020 during the period from January 2020 to December 2020 at Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, International Cardiac Centre and Alexandria New Medical Centre, Egypt, and comprised patients with left main coronary artery disease who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The patients were randomised to on-pump surgery group I (Control Group) and off-pump surgery group II(Interventional Group). All patients were assessed pre-operatively for the presence of comorbid conditions and post-operatively for myocardial infarction, acute kidney injury, pneumonia, sternal dehiscence and 3-month mortality. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.Results: Of the 60 patients, 44(73.3%) were men and 16(26.6%) were women. The overall mean age was 66.4±9.2 years. There were 30(50%) patients in each of the two groups. There were 2(6.7%) cases of myocardial infarction in group I and 1(3.3%) in group II. There was 1(3.3%) case of acute kidney injury in group I and none in group II. There were 3(10%) cases of pneumonia in group 1 compared to 1(3.3%) in group II. There was 1(3.3%) case of sternal dehiscence in group I and none in group II. Mortality at 3 months was 2(6.7%) in group I and 1(3.3%) in group II. There was no significant difference with respect to outcome between the groups (p>0.05).Conclusion: Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery was found to be efficient and non-inferior to on-pump procedure in patients with left main coronary artery disease.Keywords: Coronary artery, Bypass, Myocardial infarction, Kidney, Diabetes, Myocardium, Pneumonia

Objective: To evaluate plaque morphology in non-culprit coronary arteries using intravascular ultrasound in patients with acute coronary syndrome with and without elevated glycated haemoglobin and its assocaition with patient outcome.Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Cardiology Department of Kafrelsheikh University, Egypt, from November 2019 to January 2022, and comprised adult patients of either gender suffering from acute coronary syndrome. The patients were divided into three groups. Diabetic patients were in group A, prediabetic patients with elevated glycated haemoglobin in group B, and patients with normal glycated haemoglobin in group C. The patients were subjected to coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Intravascular ultrasound scan wasdone after succcessful intervention. Lesions were classified according to ultrasound findings. Patients were followed up for one year to observe subsequent events to the morphology of the lesions detected at baseline. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.Results: Of the 52 patients, 18(34.7%) were females and 34(65.3%) were males. Group A had 18(34.6%)patients; 13(72%) males and 5(28%) females with mean age 57.9±6.9 years. Group B had 17(32.7%) patients; 11(64.7%) males and 6(35.3%) females with mean age 56.5±5.5 years. Group C had 17(32.7%) patients; 10(59%) males and 7(41%) females with mean age 59.5±5.1 years (p>0.05). Thin-capped fibro-atheroma was significantly higher in groups A and B compared to group C (p=0.045). Significant direct correlation between major adverse cardiac events and prevalence of thin-capped fibro-atheroma was found between groups A and C (p=0.033), and between groups B and C (p=0.047)regarding prevalence of necrotic plaque and subsequent myocardial infarction.Conclusion: Thin-capped fibro-atheroma was the more common plaque type in patients with raised glycated haemoglobin, and the subsequent rate of major adverse cardiac events was significantly higher in such patients compared to the non-diabetic population.Keywords: Plaque, Atherosclerotic, Angiography, Vessels, Percutaneous, Prediabetic.

Objective: To examine the C-X-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 1 expression in breast cancer tissues prior to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, and its relationship to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy effectiveness and other prognostic variables.Method: The prospective study was conducted at Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, Egypt, from November 2018 to March 2021, and comprised patients with recent histopathologically proven breast cancer cases eligible for chemotherapy. Paraffin blocks of tumour specimens were stained by immunohistochemical stain using concentrating rabbit anti-human C-X-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 1 polyclonal antibody kits. C-X-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 1 expression was classified into low and high categories. Patients were followed for 2 years for treatment response, disease recurrence and mortality. Data was analysed using SPSS 25.Results: Of the 100 females with mean age 50.2±12.1 years, 52(52%) had their left side affected, while 48(48%) had their right side affected. There were 52(52%) cases with mean age 49.2±12.9 years having high C-X-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 1 expresssion, while 48(48%) with mean age 51.4±11.2 years had low expression. There was a significant association between high expression and advanced tumour grade, advanced tumour stage, higher frequency of triple negative breast cancer and higher frequency of Ki-67-positive cancers (p<0.05). Patients with high C-X-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 1 expression had significantly lower frequency of complete pathological response when compared with patients with low expression (p<0.001). Patients with high expression had higher frequency of recurrence, shorter disease-free survival, higher mortality and shorter overall survival, but the difference was notsignificant (p>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified triple negative hormonal status (p=0.031) and high baseline C-X-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 1 expression (p<0.001) as significant predictors of complete pathological response.Conclusions: There was found to be a link between baseline C-X-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 1 expression in breast cancer tissues and pathological response to neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer patients.
