Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure and antioxidant activity of N-(3-chloropropionyl)-N'-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiourea
Authors: Abosadiya Hamza Milad Ahmed
Published: December 2024

In the present work, a new carbonoyl thiourea derivative, N-(3-chloropropionyl)-N'-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiourea, was synthesized by the reaction of 3-chloropropionyl isothiocyanate with 4-methoxyaniline in acetone solution. The newly synthesized compound was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. X-ray crystallographic studies indicate that the compound crystallized in the triclinic crystal system with space group P-1 and unit cell dimension are a = 10.2262(6) Å, b = 11.5007(7) Å, c = 12.6116(8) Å, α = 72.253(2)°, β = 66.348(2)°, γ = 88.099(2)°, Z = 4 and V = 1287.22 (14) Å3. Strong intramolecular O-H···N hydrogen bonds are present that form a six-member pseudo-ring S(6). In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by N-H···O, N-H···S, and C-H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions formed infinite one-dimensional chains with an R22(8) and R22(12) rings motif of molecules. The antioxidant test using the DPPH method showed that the compound exhibits a good antioxidant activity of about 80%.

Authors: Mike Aarone Atuhe , Ntwari Dr. Richard , Paul Akampurira
Published: December 2024

The transition to remote work (WFH) during the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed traditional workspaces, offering enhanced flexibility and productivity. However, this shift has also introduced significant cyber security challenges, as employees’ home networks often lack the robust security measures found in corporate environments. The increasing reliance on personal devices and unsecured networks has raised the risk of cyber threats, including phishing attacks and unauthorized access to sensitive information. To address these issues, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify methodologies and practices for governing cyber security in remote settings. This review utilized academic databases such as Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, and JSTOR, focusing on research related to usable security in remote work contexts. Inclusion criteria emphasized the relevance of studies, their scope, and a balanced mix of qualitative and quantitative research. The analysis revealed key risk behaviors among remote workers, such as password reuse and reliance on unsecured Wi-Fi networks, contributing to a reported 300% increase in cyberattacks. Although existing security measures, like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and virtual private networks (VPNs), provide basic protection, their complexity often leads to non-compliance. Future research should aim to develop user-friendly security solutions that enhance compliance without sacrificing effectiveness.
The Islamic Regret Minimization Framework
Authors: Affan Mohammad , Ulien Nuha Zaki
Published: December 2024

This study examines the alignment and distinctions between the Regret Minimization Framework, a decision-making approach developed by Jeff Bezos, and the principles of Islamic Sharia. While the framework's emphasis on long-term implications and minimizing potential regrets resonates with the Islamic focus on mindfulness, ethical decision-making, and the pursuit of the greater good, key differences also emerge. The Regret Minimization Framework is primarily centered on individual-centric decision-making, whereas Maqasid al-Shariah, which refers to the higher objectives and intents of Islamic law, extends its scope to encompass societal well-being and collective benefit. Utilizing a systematic literature review approach, this study explores the practical applications and implications of the Regret Minimization Framework within the context of Islamic teachings. The findings suggest that while the framework aligns with several principles of Islamic Sharia, its implementation must account for the distinct emphasis of Maqasid al-Shariah on holistic and community-oriented outcomes. The study concludes by recommending further research to explore these synergies and develop practical guidelines for integrating the framework within an Islamic context.

Recordando una parte de la historia de un Hospital Universitario al Servicio de la Comunidad: “La Cardiología del Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires en el desarrollo de la Hemodinamia en la Argentina”
Authors: Tamashiro Alberto
Published: December 2024

A principios de los años sesenta, bajo la dirección del Servicio de Cardiología del Hospital Italiano, se comenzaron hacer estudios hemodinámicos con un modesto equipo de rayos X con pantalla fluoroscópica. Entre los años 1964-65 se instaló un angiógrafo, el primero en la Argentina con intensificador de imágenes, cámara de TV y cine de 35 mm. Con el tiempo, la hemodinamia fue adquiriendo su propia identidad convirtiéndose de hecho en un Servicio Hospitalario autónomo. Con el nuevo equipo comenzaron a hacerse las primeras coronariografías del país, las arteriografías de miembros inferiores y otros estudios no cardiológicos con cine en lugar de placas radiográficas, lo cual permitió obtener una visión dinámica. También posibilitó guiar los catéteres hasta los órganos con tumores para hacer quimioterapias selectivas intraarteriales. De este modo, la hemodinamia fue cobrando prestigio en el país y se hubiera completado con la posibilidad del ingreso del Dr. René Favaloro al Hospital y que se frustró a pesar sus deseos.

Published: December 2024

Pediatric neurocutaneous syndromes are a group of genetically inherited disorders characterized by the simultaneous involvement of the skin, nervous system, and other organ systems. These syndromes, which include Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), and Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS), arise from specific genetic mutations that disrupt normal cellular processes, leading to a wide range of clinical manifestations. The genetic mutations associated with these syndromes, such as those in the NF1, TSC1, TSC2, and GNAQ genes, result in dysregulated cell growth and differentiation, contributing to the development of tumors, neurological deficits, and distinct dermatological features. Neurological manifestations, including seizures, intellectual disability, and various types of tumors, are often the most debilitating aspects of these syndromes, significantly impacting the quality of life of affected individuals. Early neurological signs, such as optic pathway gliomas in NF1 and cortical tubers in TSC, highlight the importance of early diagnosis and intervention. Dermatological features serve as important diagnostic clues and are often the first indication of an underlying neurocutaneous syndrome. Key skin manifestations, such as café-au-lait macules in NF1, hypomelanotic macules and facial angiofibromas in TSC, and port-wine stains in SWS, provide critical insight into the presence and severity of these conditions. The interplay between genetic mutations and their phenotypic outcomes underscores the complexity of these syndromes and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to management. Understanding the genetic and clinical spectrum of pediatric neurocutaneous syndromes is essential for improving diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. Advances in molecular genetics have not only enhanced our understanding of these disorders but have also led to the development of targeted therapies, offering hope for more effective management and better quality of life for patients and their families.

Published: December 2024

Patient compliance with oral hygiene regimens is a significant factor in maintaining both oral and overall health, yet it remains a challenge for many individuals. Factors such as age, socioeconomic status, cultural background, and medical conditions play pivotal roles in shaping adherence to recommended oral hygiene practices. Behavioral interventions, including patient education and motivational interviewing, are effective in fostering long-term changes in oral care habits. Personalized education and reinforcement through regular follow-up visits have been shown to improve compliance, particularly when tailored to individual patient needs. Technological advancements, such as smart toothbrushes and mobile health applications, have transformed the monitoring and support of oral hygiene. These tools offer real-time feedback and reminders, enabling patients to track their progress and receive personalized recommendations. Tele-dentistry and AI-powered platforms further enhance patient engagement by providing remote consultation and early detection of potential oral health issues. Tailoring oral hygiene plans to diverse patient populations is essential in overcoming barriers to compliance. Age-specific needs, particularly in children and older adults, require targeted interventions that are both engaging and accessible. Socioeconomic challenges can be addressed by recommending affordable products and providing education on effective oral hygiene within limited means. Additionally, culturally sensitive approaches are crucial in educating patients from diverse backgrounds, ensuring that oral care recommendations are both understood and implemented. For patients with chronic health conditions, specialized oral hygiene regimens are necessary to prevent complications and align with their overall medical care. By addressing behavioral, technological, and demographic factors, healthcare providers can significantly enhance patient compliance with oral hygiene practices, leading to improved long-term oral health outcomes. The integration of personalized care, innovative technology, and patient-centered strategies remains key to achieving better adherence and sustained oral health.

The Notions of Dār al-Ḥarb and Dār al-Islām in Islamic Jurisprudence with Special Reference to the Ḥanafī School
Authors: Ahmad Muhammad Mushtaq
Published: December 2024

The article argues that the bifurcation of the world into two domains—Dar al-Islām and Dār al-Ḥarb—is essentially an affirmation of the principle of territorial jurisdiction. This principle was enunciated with a high degree of clarity and its implications were worked out with rigour and consistency by the Muslim jurists, especially those of the Ḥanafī school. Among the reasons that have mainly led to confusion and misgiving on the question are:
(i) The use of the term Dār al-Ḥarb gave rise to the impression that hostility should inform the relations between Dār al-Islām and all other entities.
(ii) The firmness shown by the Prophet (peace be on him) during the last years of his life to root out the forces actively inimical to Islam and establish a secure foothold for Islam in the Arabian peninsula has at times been detached from its space-time context and considered to be the norm for the Muslims in their relationship with all non-Muslim entities.
The paper argues that seventh century Arabia was a very special case and Muslim jurists, especially Ḥanafī jurists, consider it sui generis which may not be extended beyond its space-time context. The general principle guiding Muslims in their relationship with non-Muslim entities remains that the Muslims may engage in fighting against the non-Muslims who are belligerent towards them, rather than against non-Muslims qua non-Muslims.
Ibn Taymiyyah's Evaluation of Istiḥsān in the Ḥanbalī School of Law
Authors: Al-Matroudi Abdul-Hakim
Published: December 2024

This paper is an attempt to outline Ibn Taymiyyah's approach to and treatment of istiḥsān within Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal's legal theory in addition to that of the early Ḥanbalī jurists. The paper also draws attention to Ibn Taymiyyah's rejection of the claim that Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal held two conflicting positions with regard to istiḥsān, a notion suggested by some Ḥanbalī jurists; in present author's view, he rather argues that Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal's two seemingly contradictory positions are in reality referring to different situations of its application because Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal accepts some types of istiḥsān and rejects others.
Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal's rejection and acceptance was dependent solely on the type of cause upon which the istiḥsān was based. It is also apparent from Ibn Taymiyyah's discussions regarding istiḥsān that it is not an independent source of law in the way that the Qur'ān, Sunnah, consensus and qiyās are. Rather, it is a subsidiary legal principle employed to secure a 'fair' and 'correct' ruling regarding a given question.
Islam in the African American Community
Authors: Chande Abdin
Published: December 2024

This paper traces the trajectory of the African American Muslim community in the US by analyzing the various strands of the community's make-up and exploring the dialectic of immigrant-indigenous Islam. It raises questions regarding, for instance, the failure of the community to create a group of qualified scholars in three decades. Such scholars, it is argued, are the instrument through which new forms of religious expressions can emerge and new and different voices can be heard as more conceptual and even gender spaces open up. Finally, the paper discusses the challenges facing the Ummah/Muslim community from within — the cultural, racial and class-based divides — and from without — the impact of 9/11 against which a beleaguered community must now, to some extent, define its faith.
Clericist Catholic Authors and the Crystallization of Historical Memory of World War I in Lebanonist-Particularist Discourse, 1918–1922
Authors: Walker Dennis Patrick
Published: December 2024

The First World War was a crisisfor pan-Catholic ideology in Lebanon. The Maronite and other Catholic intellectuals and journalists most dyed by Westerners saw millions of them kill each other and deplete their states for the long term. Christianity and the Catholic Church had not enabled Christians to resolve disputes constructively. Could so weakened a France now sustain any role as a “protector” of Lebanon’s Maronites and other Christians? The peril to the West during WWI, though, did make the Arab Catholic intellectuals turn a blind eye to the secularizing aspects that marginalized Christianity there, aspects which those intellectuals had assailed in peace-time. The collapse of the Ottoman Empire ended in acrimony the relations that the Maronites had built with the Turks, while leaving open friendship with Arab Muslims who had opposed the Turks.
Detecting Textual Additions of Reliable Hadith Transmitters
Authors: Al-Rahawan Mohammad Sa‘id Mitwally Ibrahim
Published: December 2024

The main purpose of this paper is to verify the applicability of Hadith source criticism for detecting textual additions made by reliable narrators. We attempt in this paper to apply this methodology to date the addition of the word turab to the tradition of Hudhayfah, on the permissibility of using clean soil for performing tayammum (dry ablution), who is responsible for adding it and to see whether we are to regard it as a part of the original statement of the Prophet or not.
Symbolic Islamo-European Encounter in Prosody
Authors: Sanaullah Muhammad
Published: December 2024

The aa dda a prosodic trajectory of Muwashshahat and Azjal travelling from Andalusia to Germany via Provence, Sicily and Italian cities and culminating into the domnei poetics of the troubadours, the trouveres, the Italian trovatori, the trobairitz and the German Minnesingers calls for whisking out the medieval Arab-Romance mignonette that posited itself within the modern poetics and music. Europe had waited till the twelfth century CE to be initiated into the path of love-poetry as psychic posture and a new poetic fashion, owing much to the troubadours. The courtly ideas in Europe owed greatly to the courtly ideas in Provence which were derived from the courts of Reyes de Taifa (1031–1095) of Muslim Spain (711–1492). The imprints ofthe hybrid Andalusian Arab-Romancephilology and scansion system, best represented by the Washshahun (Ibn Quzmun, Ibn Sahl, Ibn al-Shushtiri, Ibn al-Labbanah, Ibn Zamrak, ‘Ubadat al-Qazzaz, Ibn ‘Arabi and others), are to be easily found in the cansoni of respectable Catalan poets in Spain, Galicia and Midi like Alphonso El Sabio, William XI of Aquitaine,Marcabru, Jaufre Rudel, Ruben Dario, Juan Ruiz and others. The troubadours’ sensibility to the Andalusian poetic apogee in search of dulcedo or sweetness outside Boethius, Cicero and Horace warranted a practice and emulation of a poetic module embodying love, virtue and security is traced outside Latinity, in theneighbourhood, especially in the Mozarabic Spain.
Chiragh-i Roshan
Authors: KHAN MIR BAIZ
Published: December 2024

Light as a symbol has been used throughout history, both in religious and secular contexts. In this paper it is presented as a core metaphor in an Isma‘ili Muslim religious ceremony called Chiragh-i Roshan (lit. shining light) referring to the Prophetic tradition of divine guidance. For centuries, this religious practice has been a critical means for Isma‘ili Muslims in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, China and northern Pakistan including Chitral and Gilgit-Baltistan to preserve and protect their religious identity, and to express their devotion through a series of ritual acts through this ceremony. The text of the ceremony is called Chiragh Nama which, besides being an historical ritual text, also has been a primary source for teaching and preaching in religious gatherings related to death in family or private devotional congregations for spiritual purposes. It also examines how this shining light symbolically continues to brighten the intellectual and spiritual path of its devotees.
Personal Names and the Islamic Identity in Pakistan
Authors: RAHMAN TARIQ
Published: December 2024

Names are connected with several societal variables such as identity, power and the belief-system. This study examines the association of the personal names of Pakistani Muslims with perceptions of their religious (including sectarian) identities. Large data bases of names of Muslims in order to find the frequencies of Islamic components in their names will be examined so as to provide an index of religiosity and its type (Shi‘ah/Sunni/fundamentalist/radical etc). It is suggested that the occurrence of names like Osama [Usamah], Saddam [Saddam] or Arabic components like—umm (mother of),—ibn (son of) suggests radicalisation. Derivatives from Arabic, whether considered Islamic or not, will also be examined. This analysis along the chronological dimension will suggest whether Pakistani names have become more Islamised from the early years of Pakistan (1947–57) in comparison with the post-Zia ul Haq period (1980–90s). Names may be changed with a view to flagging the desire to take up a new religious identity. Thus the Islamisation and Arabisation of personal names in Pakistan may be an indicator of identity and change in identity construction.
An Astrolabe by Muhammad Muqim of Lahore Dated 1047 AH (1637–38 CE)
Authors: Abbasi Mubashir Ul-Haq , Sarma Sreeramula Rajeswara
Published: December 2024

Astrolabe was the most important astronomical instrument in the medieval period. It became popular in the Indian subcontinent after the eleventh century. The production of astrolabes and celestial globes in the Indian subcontinent was dominated by Ustad Allah Dad and his descendants in the second half of the sixteenth century and in the seventeenth century. Their astrolabes display a fine combination of geometrical precision, high level of metal craft and aesthetic beauty. Allah Dad’s descendants revolutionised the production of the celestial globes by casting them as single hollow spheres by the lost-wax process. About a hundred and twenty astrolabes and twenty-five globes made by this family are extant today in museums and private collections in India, Middle East, Europe and USA. In Pakistan, however, there are just two astrolabes made by Allah Dad’s grandson Mu╒ammad Muqim are available. One is housed in the Lahore Museum and the other is kept in the Islamabad Museum. Nevertheless, these two astrolabes constitute an important national heritage and deserve to be studied in detail. The present paper offers a full technical study of an elegant astrolabe made by Mu╒ammad Muqim in 1637, which is now preserved in the Islamabad Museum.
Economic Ideas of Ibn ‘Abidin: A Legal Analysis
Authors: Islahi Abdul Azim
Published: December 2024

Ibn ‘Abidin was among the most distinguished scholars of ╓anafi School of jurisprudence in the early nineteenth century, replica of early great scholars of Islamic jurisprudence. He assigned great importance to current urf or local custom in solving new problems or even in adopting new solutions based on old customs. He added isti╖na‘(commission to manufacture) and bay‘ al-wafa’ (loan sale) among the contracts which had been permitted due to urf so as to remove hardship. He criticised the government’s imposition and collection of oppressive taxes and recommended a sound policy of taxation based on the principles of economy, convenience and certainty. Fluctuation in the value of money was a serious problem of his time, one that had disturbed the of buyers-sellers relation and naturally affected the volume of trade. While he discussed the impact of devaluation of money on trade, he did not try to find out economic factors and consequences responsible these fluctuations nor did he take them into account while exploring their rules. His opinions on bay al-wafa’, sukarah (insurance/security), isti╖na‘ and bay‘ al-salam (prepaid forward sale) are frequently referred in modern Islamic economic discussions.
From the State of the Khilafah to the Nation State: The Transformation of Islamic Legal Politics
Authors: Munir Muhammad
Published: December 2024

This work examines the transformation from the one Muslim state with one khalifah (caliph) to the nation state under Islamic law. It examines the status quo of multiplicity of Muslim states from the perspective of classical Muslim scholars to find out that the transformation from one caliph to dozens of heads in separate Muslim states is not averse to the opinions of top experts of Islamic law even in early Islam. How is the imam (head of state) appointed under Islamic legal discourse and whether the existence of different Muslim states with their own imam violate the cardinal principle of ‘one caliph rule’ of the Shariah. According to Imam Juwayni, it is possible to appoint two or more imam for one Muslim state either to avoid fitnah or if it is difficult for one imam to serve Muslims of far off places or islands. There are four different methods of appointing an imam according to Shah Wali Allah Dihlavi. Dihlavi has based these methods on the way the four successors of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) had been chosen. Efforts for the one caliph rule must be abandoned as it is not practicable today to have one caliph for the whole Muslim world. The paper further asks whether shura and democracy are compatible. Islamist thinkers have differed on this issue. Finally, Islamist thinkers and others have yet to come up with the blue print of a model shura system.
Custody in Islamic Law: A Law Based on Presumptions
Authors: Sabreen Mudasra
Published: December 2024

Custody is a right of the child from its birth. Islamic law issues rules for custody in the light of the interest of the minor. In Islamic law custody goes to the mother unless she is disqualified and then to other relatives. This paper discusses and analyses the rules of child custody in Islamic law and argues that most of these rules are not divine. These are a product of ijtihad. A large extent of these rules is actually presumptions which may be rebutted in a given situation.
Mediation: Application and Functioning under Shariah and Law
Authors: Attaullah Qazi , Saqib Lutfullah
Published: December 2024

This study debates mediation as a tool of amicable resolution of civil and criminal disputes, in legal spectrum of shariah and law. It, primarily, investigates the subject from four dimensions. First, it traces the history of mediation to the ancient societies and explores the earliest forms of mediation. Second, it sheds light on the meaning of mediation by analysing various approaches of the experts of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) towards it. Here, the discussion, predominantly, moves round the technical sense of mediation and the complications it involves. It also explores mediation in shariah and searches out its meaning, focusing on its preferred connotation and the advantages it has brought about. Third, the study explains the subject matter of mediation, ascertains its limits as prescribed by jurists (fuqaha). Notably, it proposes the criterion for suitability or otherwise of a case for mediation and denounces the theory that civility and criminality of a dispute determines such criterion. More importantly, it justifies the application of mediation to criminal issues, including matters coming within the domain of hudud. In this regard, it rather for the first time successfully differentiates between hudud offenses and hudud cases, in terms of legal effects and ultimate consequences. Fourth, it focuses on the functioning of mediation with specific reference to Pakistani legal system. The study marks out the causes of poor productivity of mediation in law on the one hand, and explains the functioning of mediation and its quality results in shariah, on the other. Suggestions and proposals for improvement have also been given at appropriate places.
