This lack of emphasis may be justified by the origins of the concept in Western culture itself. For instance, Vincent Leitch, who authored a book on the subject in 1992, did not prioritize defining a specific term for it in the comprehensive introduction he wrote for Cultural Studies in the volume published by Johns Hopkins University on literary theory and criticism in 1994.</em><em>The following paper aims to explore the implicit patterns in Abdul Majeed Farghali's poetry collection Nabgha Al-Qur'an. The study posits that his poetic texts, despite their secondary and marginal nature, contain implicit patterns embedded in their deep structure, which manifest through the cultural interpretation of the reader.</em></p> Abdelkader Sellami Zainab Boutchiche Copyright (c) 2024 Al-Idah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-31 2024-12-31 42 -2 163 180 10.37556/al-idah.042.02.0921 Aesthetic Aspects of the Holy Quran: An Analytical Study of Prominent Features https://www.al-idah.pk/index.php/al-idah/article/view/907 <p><em>This study delves into the aesthetic dimensions of the Quran, emphasizing its unparalleled eloquence and literary mastery.

These guidelines ensure the well-being of humanity in both this world and the hereafter. Islamic teachings cover the concept, importance, types, and ethics of medicine, as well as medical research.</em><em>Imam Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari (d. 256 AH), in his Sahih al-Bukhari, dedicated a section titled Kitab al-Tibb (The Book of Medicine), addressing diverse topics related to medicine under well-structured chapters. His deep insight (fiqh al-Bukhari fi tarajimihi) is reflected in the organization and selection of these chapters.</em><em>This research paper focuses on Kitab al-Tibb from Sahih al-Bukhari to derive medical ethics based on the chapters and corresponding hadiths. The study comprises two main sections:</em><em>An analysis of the concept, significance, and ethics of medicine.</em><em>A systematic discussion of medical ethics derived from Kitab al-Tibb.</em><em>This study highlights Imam Bukhari's meticulous approach and the ethical principles extracted from the hadiths in the context of medical practice.</em></p> Muhammad Ayub Abzahir Khan Nasir Ali Copyright (c) 2024 Al-Idah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-31 2024-12-31 42 -2 214 227 10.37556/al-idah.042.02.0924 The Day of Judgment in Islamic Thought: Contrasting Views of Javed Ahmed Ghamidi and Ahlu Sunnah https://www.al-idah.pk/index.php/al-idah/article/view/917 <p>Javed Ahmed Ghamidi, a prominent Muslim scholar, has garnered a significant following among Muslims globally, primarily due to his unique interpretations of Islam. His perspectives have sparked debate within the Islamic community, with some regarding him as a moderate muslim Scholar while others contend that his views diverge from orthodox beliefs, particularly concerning Hadith. This study critically examines Ghamidi's methodological approach to interpreting the "Signs of the Doomsday," a fundamental aspect of Islamic eschatology that pertains to the unseen and is inherently resistant to rational proof. By analyzing Ghamidi’s published works and video lectures, this research analyzes his eschatological views against those of Ahlu Sunnah scholars. Ghamidi classifies the Signs of the Doomsday into two categories, asserting that the emergence of Yājūj and Mājūj (Gog and Magog) is a definitive sign already in progress. He discusses other signs, such as the splitting of the moon, the Dābbah al-Arḍ (the Beast of the Earth), and the sun rising from the west, referencing both Qur'anic texts and Hadith. Notably, however, Ghamidi challenges the widely accepted belief in the descent of Jesus (‘Īsa), a conviction held by the majority of Sunni scholars based on consensus (Ijmā’) and the continuous transmission of Hadith (Tawātur Lafẓī). This paper illuminates the methodological distinctions between Ghamidi’s approach and traditional Sunni scholars. It emphasizes that while Ghamidi endorses sure eschatological signs lacking Qur'anic or Mutawātir Ḥadīth validation, his rejection of Jesus' descent significantly diverges from Ahlu Sunnah thought. Through this comparative analysis, the research contributes to the broader discourse on Ghamidi’s interpretative methodology and its implications for contemporary Islamic scholarship.</p> Shabana Kaleem Junaid Akbar Muhammad Hayat Khan Copyright (c) 2024 Al-Idah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-31 2024-12-31 42 -2 1 15 10.37556/al-idah.042.02.0917
