Issues of Takhrij, Legal Extrapolation, among scholars of Usul al-Fiqh, Islamic Legal Theory (An Applied Comparative Study)
type: item
description: This study explores the issues of takhrij (legal extrapolation) in Usul al-Fiqh (Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence) as a methodological tool relied upon by scholars of Islamic legal theory for deriving rulings and interpreting evidence. The research aims to clarify the concept of takhrij, identify its key issues, and analyze the approaches adopted by Islamic legal scholars in addressing these issues through an applied comparative study across various schools of Usul al-Fiqh. The study employs an analytical and comparative methodology, presenting the concept of takhrij among scholars of Usul al-Fiqh, analyzing and comparing the different madhhabs (legal schools), and highlighting areas of consensus and divergence, as well as the impact of these differences on juristic applications. The study concludes that takhrij serves as an important tool for refining legal reasoning and guiding independent juristic effort (ijtihad). Moreover, the diversity of takhrij methodologies among scholars of Usul al-Fiqh reflects a rich theoretical landscape, with significant implications for the practical branches of Islamic jurisprudence. The research recommends greater attention to takhrij within contemporary studies of Usul al-Fiqh, given its crucial role in renewing ijtihad, regulating legal opinions (fatwas), and encouraging research that bridges takhrij with its applications in comparative fiqh and legal maxims.

A Comparative Reading of the Book Al-Maqamah by Shawqi Daif
type: item
description: The research highlights the significance of Shawqi Daif’s book as a primary reference in Arabic literature, documenting the emergence, development, and historical phases of the maqamah from the 4th century AH up to the modern era. The book explores the genre's purposes, stylistic features, and its impact and interaction with various literary traditions and cultures. The research reveals that Daif viewed the maqamah as an educational art form, helping students master language and rhetorical techniques. It also examines his methodology, which blends explanatory and narrative approaches with historical analysis. Although Daif’s critical efforts in this book are remarkable, the research observes that they are less extensive compared to his critiques of Arabic poetry. The analysis concludes that Daif offered a comprehensive treatment of the maqamah, although the lack of precise citation of sources and references reflects the academic style of his era. Despite not providing a clear-cut definition of the genre, his perspective presents the maqamah as a refined literary discourse in which form prevails over content, with an underlying educational aim. The study concludes by discussing Daif’s view of the maqamah as a non-narrative art form, contrasting it with the perspectives of other critics who consider it a complete narrative genre with artistic elements.

Security analysis in the Qur'an: A Study on the Application of Some Verses from the Qur'anic Stories
type: item
description: The concept of security analysis has garnered increasing attention in recent decades, emerging as a vital field for strategic and security studies centers. Western studies have taken the lead in addressing this concept both theoretically and practically. In contrast, Islamic studies have not received similar attention in grounding the concept of security analysis from a Quranic perspective. Against this backdrop, this research seeks to establish the foundations of security analysis in light of the Holy Quran, based on the hypothesis that the Quran early on laid the groundwork for an analytical methodology encompassing elements and components of modern security analysis. The research aims to define the concept of security analysis linguistically and terminologically, clarify its importance and objectives, and derive its methodological foundations through the Quranic text. The researcher employed descriptive and analytical methodologies to study relevant Quranic verses and analyze their content in light of contemporary security concepts. The research is divided into two main sections: the first addresses the concept and objectives of security analysis, while the second focuses on the Quranic foundations of this analysis, organized around themes such as understanding variables, analytical tools, and uncovering informational deception.

The Phenomenon of Paradigmatic Deviation in the Elegies of the Poet Mohammed Ahmed Mansour: A Stylistic Study
type: item
description: This study dealt with a prominent stylistic phenomenon in the poetry of Muhammad Ahmed Mansour, which is the phenomenon of “stylistic displacement of substitution,” with one of the purposes of his poetry, which is lamentation, which found in his poetry a breeding ground in which various shifts emerged that created the spirit of creativity in it. This study aims to shed light on the stylistic phenomenon of substitutional shift in selected examples of lamentation poetry by the poet Muhammad Ahmed Mansour. And revealing how to employ this phenomenon in poetic text, and giving it high artistic and aesthetic value. The researcher used the stylistic approach in the analysis, which traces the depth of the word and what it means. Through this approach, the vision of the stylistic phenomenon of substitutional shift on which the study was based became clear. The study consisted of an introduction, a theoretical foundation, and five sections: the first section, the shift of simile, the second section, the shift of metaphor. The third section is the shift of metonymy, the fourth section is the shift of linguistic metaphor, and the fifth section is the shift of intertextuality. Then the conclusion contains the most important results of the research.

Geographical characteristics of small industries in the Republic of Yemen: an analytical study in economic geography
type: item
description: Small industries are the cornerstone of the industrial development process, as they are considered the most effective sector in mobilizing skilled and semi-skilled labor towards the industrialization process. Their importance is evident and increasing in developing countries, including the Republic of Yemen. This study aims to shed light on the geographical distribution of small industries in the Republic of Yemen, their industrial structure, and the relative importance of small industry branches. It also highlights some of the geographical characteristics of small industries in the Republic of Yemen by examining industrial size, the industrial strength index, industrial diversity, and the diffusion coefficient. The study found spatial variation in the distribution of the structure of small industries in the Republic of Yemen and the factors that influenced it, reflected in the highest industrial concentration in five governorates: the Capital Secretariat, Taiz Governorate, Ibb Governorate, Hadhramaut Governorate, and Al Hudaydah. The study concludes with a presentation of the most important findings and recommendations.

The term "Dizza" In Surat Al-Najm: Alinguistic ، artistic and analytical study
type: item
description: In this research, the researcher examines the term "Ḍiza" (diza) in the Holy Quran through a technical study and rhetorical analysis. The study is structured in three sections. The first section focuses on the linguistic and historical study of the terms "gharīb al-Quran" (Arabic for "Arabic for "Gharīb al-Quran") and "al-fārā'id" (Arabic for "Pearls"). This is because the term "Ḍiza" appears under these two terms in the books of both ancient and modern scholars. It became clear to the researcher that the two terms differed in their origins. The term "gharīb al-Quran" (Arabic for "Arabic for "Gharīb al-Quran") focused on studying the strange words found in the Holy Quran. The term "al-fārā'id" (Arabic for "Pearls") first appeared in the book "Al-Tahrir wa al-Tahbir" (The Book of At-Tahrir wa al-Tahbir") by Ibn Abi al-Asba'. It referred to the exquisite, enchanting words that resemble precious jewels in the linguistic texts in general. A modern definition of the term "al-fārā'id" (Arabic for "Quranic Pearls") later emerged, focusing on the study of the words of the Holy Quran only. It thus became synonymous with the term "gharīb al-Quran" (Arabic for "Arabic for "Gharīb al-Quran"). The second chapter was a linguistic and semantic study of the word (Ḍiza), in which the researcher relied on the works of interpretation, strange words in the Quran, and language books. The researcher found that the phrase (qasmatun Ḍiza) in the Holy Quran means an unfair slanted division, and scholars have used many words to express the meaning of this word. The researcher also studied the origin of the word (Ḍiza), and found that the word (Ḍiza) has been used in four languages. The word (Ḍiza) in the Holy Quran has the form (fiʿla), contrary to the original form agreed upon by linguists. As for the third chapter, the researcher studied the word (Ḍiza) from a rhetorical and aesthetic perspective by listing the opinions of rhetoricians on the aspects of its strangeness, eloquence, and usag…

The Story of Hayy ibn Yaqzan: A Comparative Orientalist Study
type: item
description: Arabic prose has held paramount importance since the earliest periods, and its significance increased with the arrival of Arab Muslims in Andalusia, where various forms of prose emerged, enriching its artistic power. These forms include the art of storytelling and literary correspondence, particularly in its literary forms. One of the masterpieces produced by the Arab mind is the story of Hayy ibn Yaqzan by Abu Bakr ibn Tufayl, who combined narrative storytelling with literary correspondence. The story of Hayy ibn Yaqzan has captivated Western critics, with many philosophers and thinkers studying it extensively. It has also inspired many Western writers, such as Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, which shares similarities and differences. While Defoe intended for Robinson Crusoe to convey Christian principles and emphasize human self-reliance, Hayy ibn Yaqzan embodies the noble human message entrusted by God, emphasizing critical thinking, rationality, and sound senses. These qualities enable individuals to transcend materialistic desires, achieving spiritual enlightenment and recognizing God's existence through their intellectual and physical capacities. The story of Hayy ibn Yaqzan remains a source of inspiration for many Western writers and thinkers.

Aspects Of The Relationship Between Religious and Political Leadership During the Era Of King Abdulaziz
type: item
description: This research discusses the manifestations of the relationship between religious and political leadership during the reign of King Abdulaziz in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The introduction highlights the historical connection between the imams and kings of Saudi Arabia on one side and religious scholars on the other, dating back to the establishment of the First Saudi State following the Diriyah Agreement between Imam Muhammad bin Saud and Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdulwahhab in 1157 AH / 1744 AD. This agreement laid the foundation for the new state based on Islamic governance and Sharia law. The cooperation between rulers and scholars continued throughout the three phases of the Saudi state. However, this research focuses specifically on the era of King Abdulaziz, the founder of the Third Saudi State (1319 AH / 1902 AD – 1373 AH / 1953 AD) The study examines various aspects of this relationship and presents examples illustrating the King’s consultation with scholars on military matters, including the advance into Hejaz, as well as security issues. One such example is a letter from the King to Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdulatif and several scholars, seeking their opinion on an incident where a military unit attacked Yemeni pilgrims and seized their belongings. The King requested the scholars to determine the appropriate Sharia ruling on the matter. Additionally, the research discusses instances where scholars objected to certain royal regulations, such as the King’s decision to fix exchange rates, which they argued was contrary to Islamic law. It also highlights religious edicts directed at the King regarding issues like the status of Hamza Mosque, existing laws in Hejaz, the entry of Egyptian pilgrims carrying weapons and ceremonial caravans, and the prohibition of levies (makous) under Islamic law. A key point emphasized in the study is that scholars would issue religious rulings (fatwas) declaring certain policies impermissible, and in most cases, the King would accept th…

Simplification of Rulings on Numbers
type: item
description: Numbers are among the grammatical lessons that every student should pay attention to. Who among us does not use numbers in their various forms in daily conversations? It is noticeable that there are many mistakes in these forms by many speakers of the Arabic language, especially those who are not specialists in Arabic. Everyone needs to use numbers in their daily dealings, whether they are doctors, engineers, employees, or teachers. It is essential for teachers, especially, to be familiar with these rules and address their students in correct and error-free language. If a doctor's mistake can kill a person, a teacher's mistake can kill a nation. Perhaps the errors that occur in the formulation of numbers across all sectors and fields, whether in the language of the speaker on the podium, in classrooms, in newspapers, or in institutional and organizational correspondences and other written transactions, are what prompted me to write this paper to simplify and facilitate the rules of numbers so that their formulation becomes easier, combating the prevalent errors in this area. It is undoubtedly the case that linguistic errors were the main reason for Abu al-Aswad al-Du'ali's establishment of grammar science at the behest of our master Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him. To facilitate the rules of numbers, I relied on using the x and y axes to clarify these rules. There is no surprise in that, as knowledge serves each other. I saw this as a facilitation for students in the scientific course and for those who have received pure study. I also aimed to clarify these rules by organizing them into groups and tables to make them clearer. One might say that using the x and y axes somewhat detracts from the fluency and sweetness of the language and that structures and rules should be understood through literary texts and poetic and prose examples! We would respond that our goal here is to facilitate these rules to eliminate the errors that have spread in this sub…

Semantic Study Of The informing of Implicit Verbs
type: item
description: The study examines the informing implicit verbs in Arabic, highlighting their impact on strengthening meaning and their role in adding subtle connotations. This is achieved through the relationship between an explicit verb in the text and an implicit verb inferred by a verbal or situational cue, thereby granting the verb an additional layer of meaning beyond its original one. In verbal implication, the verb in the text carries an expressive force by conveying two or more meanings, thus forming an informing strength that reveals the semantic subtleties and hidden intentions of speech. Moreover, the occurrence of implication in a text goes beyond merely delivering a message to the recipient; it extends to influencing their behavior, thoughts, emotions, and morals. Therefore, the best representation of this phenomenon can be found in the verses of the Holy Quran.

Place in Hussein Al Amar’s The Heavens Are Closer: A Phenomenological Study
type: item
description: This study presents a phenomenological reading of place in the poetry collection The Heavens Are Closer by Hussein Al Amar. It focuses on how place is experienced within poetic consciousness rather than as a mere geographical setting. The study explores the transformation of place from an external cosmic space into internal spaces connected to consciousness, language, and spirit, where states of anxiety, waiting, and existential tension emerge. The analysis is organized into two sections: the first examines the transformation of cosmic place into a threatening space and the formation of internal spaces related to memory and the body, as well as the sonic and spiritual dimensions of place. The second investigates the shift from external to internal space through psychological, linguistic, and spiritual dimensions where poetic experience intensifies. The study concludes that place in the collection does not function as a static descriptive framework but as a lived experience where cosmic, psychological, linguistic, and spiritual dimensions intersect. It also highlights the effectiveness of the phenomenological approach in revealing the existential dimensions of contemporary poetic experience.

The Poetic Imagery in Abdullah Al-Anzi’s Diwan "A Song for One Who Never Returns"
type: item
description: This study aims to examine poetic imagery through the poetry collection A Song for One Who Departs and Does Not Return by the poet Abdullah Al-Enzi, depending on the stylistic approach as the most appropriate methodology for the study of imagery. The study concludes that poetic imagery, in its various patterns and sources, constitutes a systematic artistic tool in shaping Al-Enzi’s poetic experience, as he employs multiple images to construct a single meaning. Furthermore, the sources of these images are closely connected to his personal experience, his awareness of reality and heritage, enabling him to evoke his inner psychological and emotional depths.

Intertextuality in the Diwan “Candles of the Candelabrum” by Falah Al-Otaibi: Manifestations and Functions
type: item
description: This study examines the phenomenon of religious intertextuality in "Shamou‘ al-Shamadan" by the poet Falah bin Murshid Al-Otaibi, considering it one of the most significant artistic mechanisms that contributes to the construction of the poetic experience in contemporary Saudi poetry. The study adopts a semiotic approach to discover the network of signs the poet draws from the Holy Qur’an, the Prophetic Hadith, biographies, and religious narratives, and to analyze their semantic and symbolic functions within the texts. The study reveals that the poet employs the Qur’anic stories as a deep symbolic reservoir; his evocation of prophetic figures—such as Job, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses—is not used as mere intellectual ornamentation, but rather as models of trial, deliverance, patience, and miracle. These figures become dense semiotic signs that encapsulate major human experiences, reshaping the poet’s personal suffering within a religious framework believing in hope and salvation. The poet also employs additional symbols, such as the Buraq and sacred places with their spiritual connotations, to construct an aesthetic space that balances a personal suffering with a skyline of transcendence. Through comparison with previous studies, the research demonstrates that its uniqueness lies in its deep focus on exploring the religious intertextuality, specially, within this collection, and in analyzing its artistic and intellectual functions such as semantic condensation, symbolic suggestion, and expanding the horizon of an interpretation. The study concludes that religious intertextuality has contributed to endowing the collection with a spiritual dimension, enhanced the richness of the poetic experience, and strengthened its connection to the reader’s cultural and religious memory.

Semiotics of Light in the Poetry Collection (The Light Between Her) by Poetess Maryam Qawsh: A Reading in the Signification of Textual Thresholds
type: item
description: This research explores the semiotics of light in the poetry collection "The Light Between Her" by Maryam Qawsh through an analytical study of the paratexts, aiming to uncover the underlying meanings and their role in shaping the overall significance, focusing on the symbolism of light from the title to the vocabulary. The study employs a semiotic approach combined with a descriptive-analytical method. It is divided into two sections: the first examines the external paratexts, beginning with the title, the cover, the dedication, and the opening poem, and the second addresses the internal paratexts through the subtitles and the openings of the poem. The research concludes a set of results, including: the textual thresholds are not formal elements, but they represent essential components of the poetic structure, serving as textual markers that frame and distinguish the poetic experience. In addition, the diversity of paratexts in the collection between external and internal paratexts. Furthermore, the title of collection reflects the dominance of light in the poet’s thought through several levels, including the word, structure, and image. The syntactic structure of the titles also varies between nominal sentences, genitive constructions, and semi-sentences, enriching the meanings and deepening the interpretations, thus broadening the scope for further analysis.

Alienation in the Poetry Collection "Niyaf" by Poetess Linah Al-Asiri (A Thematic and Artistic Analytical Study)
type: item
description: This study addresses the phenomenon of alienation as a central concept in the poetry collection "Niyaf" by the Saudi poetess Linah Al-Asiri. It stems from a main problematic centered on how this phenomenon is manifested in the poetic texts, the underlying psychological and social causes, and the artistic tools the poetess used to express the multifaceted experience of alienation. It aims to reveal how the collection reflects the crisis of the contemporary feminine self within the context of social and cultural transformations. The study relied on the analytical-descriptive approach, through reading and analyzing the poetic texts in light of psychological criticism (examining internal conflicts and self-alienation) and social criticism (connecting the texts to the societal context). Some mechanisms of formative structural criticism were also employed when needed, to achieve a kind of integration between form and content. The research consisted of an introduction outlining the study plan, and a preamble that addressed the concept of alienation in philosophy and literature, and its manifestation in modern Arabic poetry in general and in Saudi feminist poetry in particular. The first section revealed the objective manifestations of the alienation experience in the collection and its multiple dimensions, while the second section examined the expressive and artistic values used to express the dimensions of the experience through the artistic analysis of language, rhythm, and poetic imagery. The conclusion presented the most prominent findings and recommendations

تجليات الغياب في ديوان "شهيقٌ لملح الغائبين" للشاعرة بتول شومر: دراسة موضوعاتية أسلوبية
type: item
description: This study examines the manifestations of absence in the poetry collection "Shaheequn LiMilh Al-Gha'ibeen" by the poet Buthaina Shumr, considering absence as a central theme which supports the poetic experience of the collection with its connotations of loss, longing, and existential disorientation. The study's significance lies in its attempt to reveal how absence transforms from a personal emotional experience into a poetic structure where language, imagery, and symbolism intersect. In addition, it addresses a contemporary poetry collection that has not previously been studied in an independent critical analysis. The study aims to trace the levels of the presence of absence in the collection, uncover its semantic and aesthetic manifestations, and observe its impact on shaping language, imagery, and symbolism, in a way that highlights the relationship between the poet’s personal experience and her artistic framework. It also seeks to answer questions about the representation of absence, the stylistic mechanisms constructing it, and the images and symbols that contributing to its signification within the poetic text. The research adopts both the thematic and stylistic approachs: the thematic approach is employed to trace the value of absence in its various levels within the collection, while the stylistic approach is used to analyze the ways in which this value is aesthetically constructed through language, imagery, and expression. The study demonstrates that absence centrally structures the collection's emotional and linguistic structure. Poetic imagery leans toward extinguished nature, shadows, and incomplete motion, while the language of the collection is comprised from evocative words associated with darkness, fog, and effacement. The findings also reveal the poet's success in transforming the experience of loss into a cohesive poetic structure, whose meanings emerge through the interaction between subject matter and style.

The Poetics of Irony in the Poetry Collection for Silence Has a Voice by Shawq Al-Suwaidi
type: item
description: This research aims to examine the poetics of irony in the poetry collection (For Silence, There Is a Voice) by the poet Shouq Al-Suwaidi, drawing on the poetics approach as the most suitable method for uncovering irony within the collection. The study concludes that poetic irony carries artistic and aesthetic dimensions that render language more flexible and profound by combining two seemingly contradictory meanings. This creates semantic tension that enriches the literary texts and grants them a deeper interpretive dimension.

The Descriptive Discourse on Poetry in Manahil Fathi’s (Ka’annahu Huwa): An Analytical Study of Poetic Vision and Its Representations
type: item
description: This study examines the descriptive discourse on poetry in the poetry collection “As If It Were He” (Ka’annahu Huwa) by the poet Manahil Fathi, considering it as a manifestation of the phenomenon of metapoetry, in which the poetic text turns toward itself and toward the mechanisms of its own production. In this context, the act of writing becomes an object of contemplation and analysis rather than merely a means of expression. The study aims to uncover the representations of this discourse, its artistic and semantic functions, and its role in shaping the poet’s vision of poetry, the construction of her feminine and existential identity, and her perception of the world. The research adopts an analytical–interpretive methodology by tracing the manifestations of descriptive discourse within the poems of the collection and analyzing its expressive mechanisms and aesthetic and existential functions. The study concludes that poetry in this collection performs two primary functions. The first lies in its role as a vessel for constructing feminine identity, as the poet intertwines the act of writing with her personal and social experience, transforming the poem into a living entity that confronts silence and constraints. The second function is manifested in the transformation of poetry into a means of redemption and purification, capable of converting pain into an aesthetic and cognitive act. The study also reveals the poet’s awareness of poetic structure through her explicit reference to prosodic terminology and technical vocabulary, reflecting the presence of a critical self within the text. The research concludes that the descriptive discourse in this collection is not merely an aesthetic element, but rather a tool for reinterpreting the self and the world, and an embodiment of the poet’s consciousness of the creative act as a path toward revelation and liberation.

Linguistic Displacements in Mastoura Al-Arabi’s Poetry Collection "Ma Antabadhtu Siwa Yaqeeni": A Stylistic Analysis
type: item
description: This study examines the poetry collection " Ma Antabadhtu Siwa Yaqeeni " by the poet Mastoura Al-Arabi from a stylistic perspective, seeking to uncover manifestations of linguistic displacements and their role in shaping the poetic discourse and constructing its signification. The study proceeds by tracing the relationships between linguistic structure and emotional experience, through an analysis of syntactic, phonetic, and rhythmic displacements in selected texts from the collection. The researcher employed the stylistic approach due to the analytical tools it provides for monitoring linguistic transformations and elucidating their aesthetic functions. The study concluded that linguistic displacements constitute a central stylistic feature in the collection, where techniques such as inversion, ellipsis, and shifting of address (iltifat) contributed to expressing the poet's psychological and existential state. The findings also revealed that the rhythm emanates from within the emotional experience, relying on repetition and phonetic diversity, granting the text its stylistic uniqueness and distinctive aesthetic appeal.

"The Image of the Mother and Its Symbolic Manifestations" in the Poetry Collection "I Sew to the Measure of Perfume" by the Poet Ibtihal Treter
type: item
description: This study examines the image of the mother and its symbolic significations in the poetry collection "I Stitch to the Measure of Perfume" by the Sudanese poet Ibtihal Treter, adopting a descriptive semiotic approach. It traces the transformation of the mother in the poet’s texts from a direct material and emotional presence—manifested in motifs such as milk, breastfeeding, childhood, and tenderness—to a broader symbolic realm that connects her with the earth, the Nile, the palm tree, and the homeland. The study also reveals the poet’s use of religious and historical symbols, notably Mary (Maryam), to bestow a sense of sanctity and patience of motherhood. Among the most important findings of the study is that the presence of the mother in the collection is not superficial but deeply emotional, manifested through childhood, nostalgia, memory, milk, and the breast, reflecting the impact of motherhood on the formation of the self and the feeling of security. Furthermore, motherhood in these texts transcends its biological dimension to become a universal symbol associated with the earth, water, the palm tree, and the womb.

The Poetry Collection The Sea Is My Final Argument by Haifa Al-Jabri: A Semiotic Study
type: item
description: This semiotic study of Haifa Al-Jubri’s poetry collection The Sea, My Last Argument explores how the sea transforms from a mere natural element into a central, overarching sign from which secondary signs—such as waves, ships, drowning, and tides—branch out, reflecting intertwined existential, feminine, and psychological dimensions. The study further demonstrates how existential and feminine aspects merge within the symbol of the sea, turning it into a space for contemplation, self-expression, and the search for meaning. This, in turn, reveals the depth, richness, and complexity of the poet’s creative experience.

The Semiotics of Emotions: A Reading of the Poem "Sīrat al-Ashwāq" by the Poet Maha Al-Otaibi
type: item
description: This study examines the semiotics of emotions in the poem "Sīrat al-Ashwāq" (The Tale of Longing) by the poet Maha Al-Otaibi, tracing the linguistic and symbolic signs that generate emotional intensity within the text. The significance of this topic lies in the fact that emotion constitutes the core of the poetic experience; its semiotic analysis reveals the deep structure of discourse and demonstrates how scattered feelings are transformed into a coherent emotional system. The study is distinguished by its application of the semiotics of emotions to a contemporary poem by a Saudi poet, an area that has rarely been discussed in critical studies. The research problem centers on understanding how the central emotion—love and longing—is constructed within the text and how various secondary emotions branch from it. The study is guided by several key questions: What signs construct emotion in the poem? How are patterns of affect formed and transformed across the poetic segments? What role do language and imagery play in shaping emotional resonance?. Adopting an analytical semiotic approach, the study focuses on uncovering the emotional structure through verbal signs, poetic imagery, and rhythmic tensions. The findings reveal that the poem is structured around a central, blazing emotion—love—from which secondary emotions emerge, including nostalgia, yearning, hope, pain, and delight. These emotions intertwine within a unified emotional network. The study also identifies a clear emotional transformation that progresses from invocation to merging, from individual longing to universal yearning, and from moments of pain to emotional reconciliation.

The poetic image in the collection "Echoes Are Picked" by the poet Shafika Wael
type: item
description: This research aims to study the poetic imagery in the anthology Yuqattaf al-Sada (The Echo is Plucked) by poet Chafika Waail, employing a stylistic approach. The study focuses on highlighting the sources and patterns of poetic imagery and examining their aesthetic impact on the poetic texts. The research is divided into two main sections: the first explores the sources of imagery, while the second analyzes its patterns. The study concludes that the sources of poetic imagery in the poet’s work are diverse, ranging from imaginary and emotional depictions to elements of nature and history. Similarly, the patterns of imagery within the anthology are varied, manifesting as sensory images—auditory, visual, gustatory, and olfactory. Furthermore, the poet utilizes rhetorical deviation (sprung rhythm/displacement), which imparts an interpretive dimension to the texts. Finally, the research concludes that imagery is not merely an ornament; rather, it is a tool for revealing the poet’s inner truths and philosophical visions.

Manifestations of the Self in the Diwan of Rawdah Al-Haj
type: item
description: This study examines the formations of the self in Roḍa Al-Hajj’s poetry collection Then I Turned to the Shadow, focusing on three main manifestations of the self: the sublime self, the frail self, and the hidden self. The study demonstrates how the ego within the poetic text oscillates between rupture and transcendence, loss and inner liberation, as well as pain and profound reflection. It also highlights the continuous interaction between the self and the other as a driving force shaping the experience of the self. Methodologically, the research adopts a descriptive–analytical approach, supported by a psychological perspective to interpret layers of consciousness and the unconscious, as well as the processes of psychological rupture and renewal. This approach allows for a deeper understanding of the structure and psychological dimensions of the self within the poetic text. The findings indicate that poetry is not merely a medium for conveying meaning; rather, it constitutes a comprehensive psychological space that enables the ego to confront pain, concealment, and revelation, and to cope with the effects of loss and inner conflicts. Thus, the poetic text becomes an existential journey that reveals the depth and complexity of the self. Keywords:
