صفة أولي العزم لبعض الأنبياء دراسة عقدية عند المتكلمين

يقول الله تعالى في محكم قرآنه:
﴿قُلْ آمَنَّا بِاللّهِ وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالأَسْبَاطِ وَمَا أُوتِيَ مُوسَى وَعِيسَى وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ لاَ نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ * وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ﴾1.
إن سيرة أولي العزم من الأنبياء عليهم السلام ليست مجرد قصص يستمتع بها القارئ، وإنما تستبطن دروساً نحتاج إليها في كل مكان وزمان.
فإن حياة الأنبياء عليهم السلام وسيرتهم التي امتدت على مساحة التاريخ، معالجة النفس الإنسانية، للوصول بها إلى الكمال بحيث تسير وفق الأوامر الإلهية التي تضمن السعادة في الدنيا والفوز في الآخرة.
فضل التفسير وضوابطه

لعلم التفسير أهمية بالغة، ذلك لأن القرآن أنزله الله ليتدبره الناس ويفهمونه، وبالفهم تستريح الأنفس للعمل به وتطبيق ما فيه.
ولقد أشار الله تعالى إلي أهمية التفسير عند ما دعا إلي تدبر القرآن، فمثلا:
يقول سبحانه وتعالى: كتابٌ أَنْزَلْناهُ إِلَيْك مُبارَك لِيَدَّبَّرُوا آياتِهِ ولِيَتَذَكرَ أُولُوا الْأَلْبابِ (٢٩) [ص: ٢٩].

ANÁLISE DOS FUNDAMENTOS NORTEADORES DO DIREITO AMBIENTAL EM CONTRASTE AOS ALTOS ÍNDICES DE USO DE AGROTÓXICOS NO CENÁRIO AGROBRASILEIRO
Authors: BEZERRA Fernando do Nascimento 
Published: August 2024

O Brasil vem apresentando-se nos últimos anos como um dos maiores consumidores de agrotóxicos do mundo, em virtude do sistema agrícola convencional, arcabouço tecnológico e influência política, nos quais contribuíram para uma rápida industrialização, conquanto considerada por muitos como imprudente e precoce. Ocorre que a preocupação no que tange a preservação ambiental e ao mesmo tempo com a saúde pública, não seguiram no mesmo ritmo. O artigo foi estruturado por meio de pesquisa documental, utilizando o método dedutivo, por intermédio de revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema em revistas especializadas, publicações, dissertações, monografias, documentos digitais, amparando-se também em Normas e Leis que regulam o tema, visando investigar o grande avanço e altos índices de entrada e uso de agrotóxicos no cenário agrobrasileiro. No qual pode inferir-se que o uso desenfreado de agrotóxico no Brasil, não trata de uma conduta silenciosa. Seguindo a regulamentação estabelecida existe legalmente um controle estatal sobre as pessoas físicas e jurídicas, no que tange a compra, uso, fabricação, aplicação, comercialização, produção, até mesmo as formas de descarte e armazenamento das embalagens utilizadas, conquanto se faz necessário verificar, analisar e discutir sobre a pouca ação/criação e investimentos de políticas públicas efetivas de controle e fiscalização.

This study aims to identify and analyze the framing used by BatamPos.co.id and BatamNews.co.id in their coverage of Amsakar Achmad as a candidate for Mayor of Batam, compare the framing employed by these two media outlets, and assess the impact of such framing on public perception. This qualitative research utilizes framing analysis based on framing theory. Primary data consists of news articles from BatamPos.co.id and BatamNews.co.id published during the period of May-June 2024. Secondary data is derived from literature related to framing theory and previous studies. Data collection was conducted through purposive sampling, and analysis was performed by identifying main themes, categorizing the news coverage, and evaluating the impact of framing on public perception. The analysis reveals that the framing of news about Amsakar Achmad on BatamPos.co.id tends to emphasize strong political support, popularity, and Amsakar’s concrete visions and programs. In contrast, BatamNews.co.id focuses more on Amsakar’s direct interactions with the public, local community support, and political communication. Both media construct a positive image of Amsakar, albeit with different approaches. BatamPos.co.id creates the perception that Amsakar is a strong candidate with solid political backing and a clear plan for Batam’s progress, while BatamNews.co.id portrays Amsakar as a leader who is close to the people, adaptive, and collaborative. This research provides insights into how media framing can influence public perception of political candidates.

The main purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the impact of a discourse technique (DT) on learning advanced writing skills by Jordanian EFL university students. It also aimed to provide university instructors with suitable techniques to help them teach writing and enhance students' writing proficiency. The participants of the study consist of 40 EFL university students majoring in English language (20 male students and 20 female students) studying advanced writing (Writing 2: Essay Writing) course at the Department of English Language and Literature. The participants were divided into two groups: experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught using the discourse technique, whereas the control group was taught using the traditional one. To test the significance of the means, the researchers used one-way ANCOVA. The results revealed statistically significant differences between the two groups, in favor of the experimental group for those who were exposed to the training program compared to the control group members. The results also indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the groups according to gender, in favor of female students in the experimental group because they were exposed to the training program. This study provides beneficial insights into using a discourse technique and effective teaching methods to enhance the writing proficiency of EFL students. The study recommended conducting similar studies investigating the impact of the discourse technique on EFL students’ writing skills at other universities in Jordan.
WOLVES AMONG US: SOME BRIEF REFLECTIONS ON THE “BONA FIDES” OF GENDERED VIOLENCE IN COMPUTER GAME ART
Authors: Jardine Adam 
Published: August 2024

The classification of computer games in Australia is a subject of expert discourse, but is not, itself, an expert function. It is carried out by community representatives (the classifiers), speaking for the community of reasonable people and applying their standards, while assessing the “impact” of classifiable elements on both reasonable people and the especially vulnerable. It is an inherently personal analysis, but the personal is an imagined space (the “reasonable person” or “reasonable adult”). This blog or reflection-type article brings the personal back to a real space, of flesh and blood: the author’s. It starts from the author’s experience of discomfort playing three computer games featuring violence against women or girls: The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead: Season Two, and The Last of Us. It breaks down the author’s response to understand why he reacted the way he did, focusing, in particular, on his assessment of whether the violence was justified. It then offers some brief suggestions on how such a response could influence classification, given the existing rules: at least if the author’s experience is identifiable with the, or a, reasonable person’s.
No Way Out?
Authors: Chen Bruce 
Published: August 2024

Shortly after COVID-19 was recognised as a national threat to Australia, in late March 2020 the Commonwealth Government prohibited Australian citizens and permanent residents from travelling overseas, with severe criminal penalties for non-compliance. The overseas travel ban, made under human biosecurity emergency powers under the Biosecurity Act 2015 (Cth), caused significant outrage. Australia was seen as an outlier in its approach to interfering with the rights of citizens and permanent residents to exit the country. The ban engaged a citizen’s fundamental common law right to depart from Australia, and a person’s human right to leave their own country. This article analyses the relevance and limits of two statutory interpretation principles protective of those rights – the principle of legality and presumption of consistency with international law. It examines the treatment of those principles in the Full Court of the Federal Court case of LibertyWorks Inc v Commonwealth of Australia [2021] FCAFC 90. The article concludes that the Full Court’s decision was underdeveloped with respect to the principle of legality. It draws further observations including on the willingness of courts to deploy ‘rights-based’ interpretive principles to broad statutory emergency powers.
State Complicity in the Extralegal Killing of Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan
Authors: Alexander Christopher , Sato Mai 
Published: August 2024

Since 1984, at least 274 Ahmadi Muslims have been extralegally killed in Pakistan on account of their faith. Despite these killings being committed almost exclusively by non-state actors, this paper probes the extent to which such violence can be traced back to the state. We employ the brutalisation thesis to demonstrate how two landmark shifts in the law — the formal declaration of Ahmadis as ‘non-Muslim’ and the introduction of the death penalty for blasphemy — have, in conjunction with discriminatory policy and inflammatory rhetoric, shaped the sociocultural landscape so profoundly as to inspire anti-Ahmadi violence. By mapping data on the extralegal killing of Ahmadi Muslims against these pivotal events, we argue that the state’s curation of an environment in which anti-Ahmadi violence is both enabled and condoned renders the extralegal killing of Ahmadi Muslims by non-state actors so indivisible from the state as to be deemed state sanctioned.
