The German Interpretation Of Imam Reza's, Peace Be Upon Him, Mandate Of The Covenant: "Conselman As A Model'', Haider Ali Hawal

NJF Islamic University Journal

The German school in Islamic history has been criticized for presenting a distorted view of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, particularly the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt. Gerhard Konselman's study, "The Shining Star of Shiites," examined the Safavid dynasty and the Islamic state in Iran, focusing on the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt. The research, "The German Reading of the Mandate of the Covenant of Imam Reza, Peace Be Upon Him: Konselman as a Model," aims to challenge this distorted view and provide a more credible understanding of the Imams.

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

"Who are the Landlords Here?" was the party's election slogan; it signals that Jews should not only own the state but also its public space.

Face Of Terror In Gaza: Hamas’ Birth, Evolution And A Nuanced Rethink, Debangana Chatterjee

Popular Media

Excerpt:

While discussing Hamas now, with terrorism and the ongoing siege of the Gaza Strip by Israel as the backdrop, we must consider the backstory of politics and international relations. And that the growth of Hamas had a lot to do with its isolation as the ruling authority in Gaza. Isolation, which handed it unaccountable access to resources that came its way.

From Periphery To Center: Re-Presenting Black And Afro-Arab Characters In Contemporary Arabic Literature, Samer Ahmad Mayyas

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Black Arabs and Afro-Arabs tend not to be centered in Arabic discourse, especially modern Arabic literature, and Black people of other ethnicities are marginalized, as if Black peoples and Afro-Arabs were not part of the history and present-day of the Arabic-speaking world. I explore in this dissertation project the representations and experiences of Black and Afro-Arabs in contemporary Arabic fictional narratives. I argue that the contemporary literary era sees a shift in re-presenting Black peoples and Afro-Arabs in the Arabic fictional discourse. By moving Black and Afro-Arab characters from periphery to center, contemporary Arab writers challenge and disrupt, in an …
