Arabic words have permeated numerous linguistic landscapes, reflecting the cultural exchanges facilitated by trade and diplomacy. Persian, Greek, Abyssinian, Hebrew, Sanskrit, and Hindi influences have all left their imprint on Arabic vocabulary over time. Islamic scholars have engaged in debates regarding the presence of non-Arabic words in the Holy Quran. This paper addresses this contentious issue, presenting discussions, evidence, and arguments to support the assertion that while the majority of the Quran is in Arabic, the inclusion of a few non-Arabic words does not diminish its Arabic character. Proponents of non-Arabic words in the Quran acknowledge that the bulk of its vocabulary is Arabic. Furthermore, they argue that the few foreign words present convey meanings consistent with Arabic usage and comprehension. Despite their foreign origins, these words align with Arabic linguistic norms and are understood within the context of the language. As such, they are rightfully considered integral components of the Arabic lexicon.</p> Muhamamd Zahid Zaheer Copyright (c) 2024 The Authors https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 2024-03-01 2024-03-01 1 01 13 21 https://ejrss.com/index.php/wabil/article/view/59 <p>The intricacies of predestination and fate pose profound questions rooted in fundamental beliefs. While Allah Ta'ala is recognized as the ultimate creator of human actions, there exists a nuanced understanding that grants individuals agency in their deeds. This balance, wherein humans are both accountable for their actions yet ultimately governed by the divine, is a cornerstone of theological discourse spanning centuries. Esteemed scholars such as Imam Abu Bakr Jafar bin Muhammad Al-Faryabi, Imam Ibn Taymiyyah, Imam Ibn Qayyim, Imam Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen, and Imam Umar bin Sulaiman al-Ashqar have delved into this subject in their seminal works, which are explored within this thesis. In this paper, the perspectives of theologians regarding concepts of good and evil are comprehensively presented and analyzed, with particular emphasis on the stance of Ahlus Sunnah. Through critical evaluation, this thesis seeks to illuminate the complex interplay between human agency and divine decree, shedding light on a topic that has captivated scholarly minds for centuries.</p> Syeda Ayesha Rizvi Copyright (c) 2024 The Authors https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 2024-03-01 2024-03-01 1 01 22 33 https://ejrss.com/index.php/wabil/article/view/60 <p>Allah did not leave man helpless and helpless by creating man, but He has also created the goods of life in this world for the needs of all creatures until the Day of Judgment and all people have the ability to use these goods and life.
