ALA magazine celebrates the “Quranic Discourse”

The magazine addressed the transformations that Arabic is seeing in global educational settings, in light of the increasing demand for Arabic learning in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Meanwhile, the continued reliance on traditional curricula in teaching Arabic to non-native speakers, curricula that lack approaches that take into account the cultural and linguistic specificities of the Arabic language.

The new issue of the magazine also featured diverse scholarly articles, combining research in linguistics and lexicography, along with studies in grammar and functional linguistics, biographies of prominent Arabic speakers, and literary and critical texts that align with the Academy's aspirations to consolidate the scientific and intellectual status of Arabic.

The issue's editorial, written by Dr. Muhammad Safi Al Mustaghanemi, Secretary-General of ALA, was titled "Describing the Prophet's Status... Reflections on His Morals and Characteristics”.

Al Mustaghanemi recorded emotional and linguistic reflections on the greatness of the personality of the Noble Prophet.

In the section "Views on Quranic Rhetoric," researcher Dr. Asma Muhammad presented a study titled "The Ottoman Script: Its Definition and Scholars' Opinions." In his article "Pronoun Reference and Its Impact on the Interpretation of Qur'anic Discourse," researcher Dr. Abdelali Mahjoubi presented an analysis of the phenomenon of reference in interpretation, explaining how Imam Ibn Attiya of Andalusia relied on the pronoun as an interpretive element that links words and meanings.

Researcher Muhammad Al Sheikh also examined the phenomenon of "explicitly mentioning the name of the Prophet Muhammad in only five places in the Holy Quran."

Dr. Adel Al Ruwaini addressed the significance of the letter "fa" in legislative contexts.

Linguistic and Lexical Glimpses

In a study titled "Linguistic Glimpses on Supplication in Arabic," Dr. Safwat El Sayed presented a reading of the linguistic styles of supplication forms in the Arabic heritage. Under the heading "Lexicography," Dr. Mahmoud Helmy presented a study titled "The Role of Linguistic Dictionaries in Preserving and Interpreting Quranic and Prophetic Words."
