It covers their hair and Ntarham founder and Masla each use, and every installation and every indication of the level of truth or at the level of metaphor in the text of the Qur'an and in the words of the Arabs ; in order to reach a linguistic approach helps in understanding the meaning and significance of the realization of the words Keywords: Kufic linguistic, grammatical, miraculous Qur'anic, Arabic language I. INTRODUCTION the selection of multiple forms of this His glory is to Him through this approach. The compatibility of the Qur’an and their research and curriculum of this school relied on making the study by interpreters and grammarians. And from Qur’an the first line in starting linguistic research, God, payment, and success, is a respondent. then taking a look at the other Arab discourse, and Our last prayer is that praise is to God, Lord of seeking to meet and bring them together, to the Worlds. In this research, we will limit understand each of them and to analyze the correct ourselves to two or two rules approved by the linguistic. The analysis based on fixed and scholars of the interpreters and the owners of the standardized linguistic principles led them to knowledge of the Qur’an, and we mention to them search and search in the phrase "God Almighty examples of the Qur’an according to space and And Arab speech. " Accordingly, the grammar time, and we are studying what the grammatists school of Kufa coincided in its curricula and in a and the interpreters said about them, and these number of its origins with the interpreters' principles are: approach and their origins, which they adopted in 1- Not to delete first from deletion. their interpretative effort, which is based on the 2- Lack of appreciation first is appreciation (1). analysis of speech and its elements to understand II. FIRST: NO DELETION FIRST OF and know its importance. DELETION The idea of this research is to monitor this This linguistic rule is clear in relation to the compatibility between what the Kufic grammar of the Kufic language, which stated that grammarians decided, and what the great Quran “if the name is raised after the“ condition to translators followed in their interpretations. Let's say, ”if Zaid comes to me, then he rises with what conclude after that by linking the theoretical side he returned from the verb without appreciating the of the Arabic language to its practical side, so that verb. The appreciation in it: The adulterer came, we can increase the knowledge of the Book of God and the appearance of the verb shows this and understand its meanings and blessed estimated verb ”(2). He is the Walsh al-Qarah and indications through meditation. His words and one of me in this verse: ((Although the woman writings.

  • Turkish Literature from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Turkish Literature
    Turkish literature From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Turkish literature By category Epic tradition Orhon Dede Korkut Köroğlu Folk tradition Folk literature Folklore Ottoman era Poetry Prose Republican era Poetry Prose V T E A page from the Dîvân-ı Fuzûlî, the collected poems of the 16th-century Azerbaijanipoet Fuzûlî. Turkish literature (Turkish: Türk edebiyatı or Türk yazını) comprises both oral compositions and written texts in the Turkish language, either in its Ottoman form or in less exclusively literary forms, such as that spoken in the Republic of Turkey today. The Ottoman Turkish language, which forms the basis of much of the written corpus, was influenced by Persian and Arabic and used the Ottoman Turkish alphabet. The history of the broader Turkic literature spans a period of nearly 1,300 years. The oldest extant records of written Turkic are the Orhon inscriptions, found in the Orhon River valley in central Mongolia and dating to the 7th century. Subsequent to this period, between the 9th and 11th centuries, there arose among the nomadic Turkic peoples of Central Asia a tradition of oral epics, such as the Book of Dede Korkut of the Oghuz Turks—the linguistic and cultural ancestors of the modern Turkish people—and the Manas epic of the Kyrgyz people. Beginning with the victory of the Seljuks at the Battle of Manzikert in the late 11th century, the Oghuz Turks began to settle in Anatolia, and in addition to the earlier oral traditions there arose a written literary tradition issuing largely—in terms of themes, genres, and styles— from Arabic and Persian literature.

  • An Analysis of Keffiyeh/Made in China
    Last name 1 Student name English 110 Instructor name Date Art that Dictates Rather than Imitates: An Analysis of Keffiyeh/Made in China The keffiyeh, a checkered black and white scarf worn about the head or neck, is a symbol of Palestinian resistance that dates back to the 1930’s Arab Revolution against British occupation, and it represents the current struggle of Palestinians to control their identity and future in the face of Israeli occupation of their lands (Kreibaum). Dalia Taha, a Palestinian playwright who grew up in Ramallah, a city in the Palestinian West Bank (Moss) uses this powerful symbol in the title of her experimental play Keffiyeh/Made in China. Taha notes, “Art always challenges power structures” (Moss), and she does precisely this in her play. Palestine has had a tumultuous history of occupation and conflict. During the Arab-Israeli War in 1948, Nakba occurred, where thousands of Palestinians were displaced to create Israel. Nakba is the Arabic word for catastrophe, and that is how it is remembered by Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinians continue to die in the Israel- Palestine conflict, and many fight for the right to assert their identity (B'Tselem). In her play Keffiyeh/Made in China, Taha captures this on-going tumultuous struggle by combining historical events with experimental literary structure in order to humanize and educate the world about the Palestinian suffering in the wake of their occupation and to create awareness and support for them lest they be forgotten entirely. In one of the play’s acts called “60 Seconds,” Taha presents a character about to die as the result of a gunshot wound to the face, and she uses the technique of blending fiction Last name 2 with reality to connect the audience more directly to the plight of the Palestinians.

  • Design Guidelines Manufacturer Guidelines
    Congratulations on your participation in the tenth annual Prêt-A-Porter fashion event! Friday May 12th, 7:00 PM EXDO 1399 35th Street Denver, CO 80205 _________________________________________________________________________________________ This document should answer most of your questions about design, materials, and event logistics including: 1. Design Teams 6. Critical Dates 2. Manufacturer Guidelines 7. Model Information 3. Judging Criteria 8. Run-through of the event 4. Prizes 9. Frequently Asked Questions 5. Tickets __________________________________________________________________________________________ ► Design Guidelines Each Design Team will be comprised of up to five members plus a model. We encourage the model to be an integral part of the team and someone with your firm or manufacturer. No hired professional models. The intent of the event is to showcase your manufacturer’s product by using it in a unique and creative way. Look to media coverage of the couture and ready-to-wear fashion shows in New York, Paris, London and Milan for inspiration. Fabrication of the materials into a garment is the responsibility of the design team. We encourage your team to sew and assemble your creation using your own methods. With that said, however, you are allowed to have a seamstress outside of your team help you assemble your garment. This cost would be the responsibility of the design team. However only 10% of the entire garment can be sewn or fabricated by someone outside of your team. ► Manufacturer Guidelines The manufacturer’s only responsibility to the team is to supply the materials for the construction of the garment. The manufacturer is not required to help fabricate the garment; however, with past events, the most successful entries have featured collective collaboration between the design team and the manufacturer and pushed materials to perform in new ways.

ABOWD has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Anne Cooper Professor Emerita of Journalism Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT ABOWD, MARY R., Ph.D., August 2013, Journalism Atavism and Modernity in Time's Portrayal of the Arab World, 2001-2011 Director of Dissertation: Anne Cooper This study builds on research that has documented the persistence of negative stereotypes of Arabs and the Arab world in the U.S. media during more than a century. The specific focus is Time magazine’s portrayal of Arabs and their societies between 2001 and 2011, a period that includes the September 11, 2001, attacks; the ensuing U.S.- led “war on terror;” and the mass “Arab Spring” uprisings that spread across the Arab world beginning in late 2010. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study explores whether and to what extent Time’s coverage employs what Said (1978) called Orientalism, a powerful binary between the West and the Orient characterized by a consistent portrayal of the West as superior—rational, ordered, cultured—and the Orient as its opposite—irrational, chaotic, depraved.
