Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of environmental resilience in two modern Arabic novels—Hānī al-Rāhib's Al-Wabā' and Ḥannā Mīnah's al-Maṣābīḥ al-Zurq—by focusing the unit of analysis on narrative elements such as characters, settings, symbolic events, and ecological metaphors that describe the community's response to environmental pressures. The purpose of this research is to explore how the representation of literature can enhance the understanding of sustainability dynamics relevant to rural development. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, this study applies three analytical approaches: ecocriticism, environmental sociology, and the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework. The findings suggest that figures such as al-Shaikh and Sheikh Abdel Jawad represent a shift away from traditional agrarian values to new forms of adaptation shaped by political instability, resource scarcity, and changes in social structures. Both novels reveal patterns of vulnerability, resilience, and livelihood strategies that reflect real processes in dealing with environmental changes. The contribution of this research lies in the designation of the role of literary works as a medium that reflects ecological pressures, as well as a conceptual tool that can enrich cross-disciplinary discussions on sustainability and provide interpretive insights that complement empirical studies of rural development.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of movement in shaping spiritual transformation during the pilgrimage cycle of Kalpwasis at the Kumbh Mela, using them as the central unit of analysis. The research aims to examine how each stage of the journey—departing from home, engaging in ritual practices at the sacred site, and returning to everyday life—contributes to the spiritual awareness and long-term transformation of pilgrims. Employing a phenomenological qualitative approach, the study draws on in-depth interviews and open-ended questionnaires conducted with approximately 200 Kalpwasis who resided in the Kumbh Mela camp throughout the major bathing days of 2025. Data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns of experience. Findings reveal that physical movement through sacred space, combined with ritual immersion and temporary withdrawal from worldly routines, fosters heightened spiritual discipline, emotional purification, and a renewed sense of identity. A significant insight of the study is the transformative impact of the return journey, where pilgrims integrate insights gained during Kalpwas into their everyday lives, reinforcing their commitment to spiritual growth. The study recommends further longitudinal and comparative research on post-pilgrimage reintegration and encourages a broader exploration of embodied movement within Indian pilgrimage traditions to deepen theoretical understanding of cyclical spiritual practices.

Abstract

This article examines talfeeq—the combination of juristic rulings from different Sunni schools of Islamic law—as its material object, focusing on its historical evolution, doctrinal boundaries, and contemporary relevance. The study aims to clarify the legitimacy of talfeeq, evaluate the divergent positions of classical and modern jurists, and determine the extent to which talfeeq can function as a valid jurisprudential tool in modern legal systems. Using a qualitative doctrinal method, the research analyzes classical fiqh texts, contemporary scholarly writings, and recent resolutions from international fiqh academies through comparative and thematic analysis. The study finds that while the majority of classical jurists imposed strict limitations on talfeeq, modern legal institutions increasingly adopt it to address financial, familial, and socio-legal complexities that cannot be resolved within a single school. The findings also indicate that talfeeq, when aligned with maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and applied within coherent methodological safeguards, enhances legal flexibility without undermining jurisprudential integrity. The article contributes to contemporary Islamic legal studies by offering a structured comparative framework for understanding talfeeq, bridging classical debates with current applications, and highlighting methodological criteria necessary for its responsible use.

Abstract

This study examines family crisis management among Muslim families in Northwestern Nigeria, focusing on how Islamic principles and modern counseling approaches can be integrated into a unified and culturally grounded framework. The research aims to identify the predominant causes of family crises, explore relevant Islamic teachings, assess contemporary therapeutic strategies, and evaluate the effectiveness of a blended model that harmonizes spiritual, moral, and psychological dimensions. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study employed purposive sampling to select participants, including Muslim couples, religious scholars, family counselors, and social workers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and documentary analysis. Thematic analysis was employed to interpret recurring patterns and contextual insights. The findings reveal that financial strain, communication breakdown, and misunderstanding of marital responsibilities constitute the major triggers of family crises, while Islamic concepts such as sabr (patience), shura (consultation), and rahmah (compassion) play a significant role in conflict de-escalation. Modern approaches, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy and structured family counseling, further strengthen communication and emotional regulation. The study contributes a culturally sensitive integrative model that bridges Islamic ethical guidance and contemporary psychotherapy, offering practical implications for family counselors, religious institutions, and policymakers seeking sustainable solutions for family stability in Muslim communities.
