Abstract

This study examines the main error patterns found in Arabic-English legal translation among undergraduate students at the Faculty of Languages and Translation, University of Zawia, Libya. It seeks to identify the most frequent lexical, syntactic, and terminological errors in students’ translations and to explain these errors in relation to legal translation competence and teaching needs. The study used a corpus-based descriptive error-analysis design. Sixty undergraduate students enrolled in legal translation courses participated in the study. Each student translated a selected legal text from Arabic into English under controlled classroom conditions, and the translated scripts were compiled into a learner corpus for analysis. The findings showed a total of 538 errors across three main categories: terminological, syntactic, and lexical. Terminological errors were the most frequent, representing 45.2% of all errors, followed by syntactic errors at 31.8%, while lexical errors accounted for 23.0%. The results showed that students had the greatest difficulty in rendering specialized legal concepts accurately, maintaining terminological consistency, and distinguishing technical legal meanings from ordinary vocabulary. Syntactic difficulties also appeared in sentence structure, word order, passive voice, and the handling of complex legal clauses. The study concludes that students’ problems in legal translation may stem from limited exposure to authentic legal discourse, insufficient training in legal terminology, and overreliance on general translation strategies. The findings underline the need for more specialized, genre-based, and terminology-focused legal translation instruction in Libyan higher education.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is significantly transforming our understanding of educational landscapes worldwide, prompting new pedagogical models and reshaping how students interact with language learning tools. Within traditionally text-centric disciplines such as Islamic Studies, Sharia, and Law, the integration of AI into English language education presents both opportunities and challenges that warrant critical inquiry. This study investigates the perceptions, usage patterns, and pedagogical implications of AI tools in English learning among 250 students in these fields. Drawing from sociocultural learning theory and Islamic pedagogical ethics, a mixed-methods approach was employed, with quantitative data gathered through a 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire. Findings reveal positive attitudes toward AI, especially in writing improvement, vocabulary acquisition, and Arabic-English translation. Students also acknowledged AI’s utility in linking complex legal and religious concepts to English equivalents. However, responses varied on AI’s accuracy in translating fiqh and legal terminology, with concerns about interpretive limitations and doctrinal precision. Interestingly, while experts warn of AI’s contextual shortcomings, students reported low concern, suggesting a gap in AI literacy. The study highlights the need for critical pedagogical strategies that foster AI competency while maintaining ethical and theological sensitivity.

Abstract

The rapid technological advancements in the educational management enforce institutions to adopt new innovative approaches in knowledge management in ways that support innovation, decision-making, and institutional development. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool with significant potential to enhance knowledge management (KM) practices. However, in many developing contexts, including Libya, the integration of AI in higher education remains limited and underexplored. This study investigates the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on knowledge management (KM) within academic institutions, focusing on faculty awareness, utilization, perceived benefits, and encountered challenges.  The researchers, using a structured questionnaire distributed to 210 academic staff members from faculty of Economy, Management and Law, employed a quantitative research design.  This study reveals critical challenges to AI adoption in Libyan institution, including insufficient infrastructure, resistance to change, and a lack of technical expertise among faculty. Compared with previous studies conducted in technologically advanced contexts, this research contributes novel insights by examining AI in relation to KM integration in a developing academic environment as a gap in the literature. The findings reveal that a generally low level of AI awareness among participants, with limited understanding of core AI concepts and its future implications for higher education. However, moderate use of AI was reported in specific KM functions such as archiving and institutional support.  The study concludes that while AI integration in academic knowledge systems is in its early stages, there exists a clear recognition of its value. Limitations of the study include its focus on one institution, which is the University of Zawia, Libya, and its reliance on self-reported data. Future research should consider longitudinal studies, cross-institutional comparisons, and qualitative investigations to deepen understanding of AI's evolving role in academic institutions. Recommendations include targeted faculty training, infrastructural investments, strategic policy development, and the promotion of a culture acceptance of new to technologies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze ayat (68–69) of Surah Al-Nahl through a multidisciplinary approach that combines philological and rhetorical analysis of the Qur’anic text with comparisons to modern findings in chemistry, biology, and medical sciences. The methodology emphasizes the centrality of the Qur’anic text and its interpretation by major exegetes such as Al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir, while incorporating experimental results from peer-reviewed scientific research. The study addresses precise linguistic and rhetorical elements, such as the connotation of the verb “awḥā” in the context of the innate inspiration of bees, the meaning of “buṭūnihā” in light of insect anatomy, the lexical and rhetorical variety in “mukhtalifun alwānuhu”, and the sensory and metaphorical implications of “shifāʾun lil-nās.” The findings reveal a striking convergence between Qur’anic depictions and modern scientific studies that demonstrate honey’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its variation according to botanical and geographical sources. The study concludes that the Qur’anic text presents an integrated model that unites miraculous eloquence with scientific precision, and calls for a research methodology that combines revelation with empirical knowledge within a reflective and epistemological framework.

Abstract

This study analyzes the judicial regulation of polygamy in the Libyan family law using socio-legal and maqasid al-shariʿah framework. Focusing on Law No. 10 of 1984 on Marriage and Divorce and its amendments (1991, 1994, and the 2015 deletion of Article 13), the study traces how polygamy shifted from jurisprudential (fiqhi) permissibility to judicial restriction subject to authorization, contestation, and potential refusal. Using qualitative doctrinal analysis supported by socio-legal contextualization, the research examines how the authorization mechanisms have transformed polygamy from a private spousal privilege to a legally conditioned practice subject to state supervision and refusal. The findings show an institutional shift in the role of Libyan courts from verifying formal requirements to evaluating financial capacity, potential harm, and family welfare, especially after the 1994 “serious reasons” standard. The article argues that these restrictions are better understood as a maqasid-oriented understanding of justice and harm prevention rather than as a departure from Shariʿah. By linking statutory law, judicial discretion power, and socio-political context, the study contributes to the continuous debates on Islamic family law reform, the role of courts in Muslim-majority countries, and the normative foundations for regulating marital practices.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to identify the contribution of waqf empowerment to improve social welfare, which is then analyzed from the  perspective of maqashid sharia. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this research uses the framework of maqashid sharia as a normative basis to assess the role of waqf as an Islamic socio-economic instrument that is oriented towards benefits. Literatur review: Previous studies have generally discussed waqf as an instrument of Islamic philanthropy, but systematic analysis of the contribution of waqf empowerment to social welfare based on maqashid sharia is  still limited. Methods: The method used is a systematic literature review (SLR) with a study period year (2016-2025), which resulted in 22 relevant articles. Result: The results of this study show that waqf empowerment contributes to improving social welfare, including First, the economy (poverty alleviation, funding economic activities including agriculture, MSMEs, and entrepreneurship training). Second, education (expanding students' access to learning, creating equal distribution of education, funding scientific research, and tahfidz to strengthen Qur'anic literacy). Third, health (logistical assistance for medical personnel, funding medical research and the development of modern health infrastructure). Fourth, the environment (protecting forest areas, maintaining the ecological function of the land, clean water management, and the development of alternative energy based on solar and biomass). Then in the five Islamic principles of maqashid sharia, including hifz al-mal and hifz al-nafs in the economic category, hifz al-'aql and hifz al-nasl in the category of education, hifz al-nafs in the health sector, hifz al-mal and hifz al-nasl in the environmental category. Implications: These findings provide a conceptual basis for the development of productive waqf policies oriented towards social welfare based on maqasid sharia. Novelty: This study offers a systematic mapping of the contribution of waqf empowerment based on maqasid sharia which enriches Islamic economic and philanthropic literature.
