Tom and Jerry has already celebrated its Platinum Jubilee as it was produced firstly in 1940 and bit by bit Tom and Jerry has been dominating the watch-lists of the cartoon lovers from all over the world by retaining itself as one of the most popular cartoons of all time. But it is not only the never-ending rivalry between the cat and the mouse with the slapstick comedy that helps the cartoon to be as one of the talked of the topics in the entertainment and media industry, it has created some controversies regarding its contents; and violence is one those that has made the scholars and critics talk about it and its possible impacts on the audience. Apart from lamenting for the impacts of violence on the juveniles’ mind, this study rather focuses on how Tom and Jerry projects violence alongside with the slapstick comic elements in the name of entertainment since it is significant to discern what violence is and then categorize them into different type as different categories of violence may have impact on the audience in different ways. By defining the term violence, this study shows how Tom and Jerry displays the actions which can be the ribs and stretchers of the umbrella known as violence. Whereas most of the scholars concentrate on the outcome of showing violence among the different programs in media, this study categorizes the actions performed by the characters in the cartoon into different categories through a qualitative content analysis method and defines those actions according to the definitions of violence.

Diamond Shumsher’s masterpiece, Seto Bagh, is a significant historical novel in Nepali literature. The novel made a vibrant debut in depicting historicity in fictional prose in the Nepali context. In particular, the reconsideration of the portrayal of history from a new perspective is relevant. Traditionally, this is considered a historical realist novel. Nevertheless, magical elements are profusely used in the novel. In this study, this niche opens up avenues to re-evaluate the historicity vis-à-vis magical elements. I have adopted Maggie Ann Bowers’ and Wendy B. Faris’s notions and perspectives on the theoretical lens of magical realism to demystify the magic and history in the text. Further, I have adapted the content analysis method to analyze the textual evidences from the selected novel. The main finding exhibits that the novelist has amalgamated historical facts with magical elements like supernatural beings and happenings. Thus, the novel is an example of historical magical realism. This implies that only established beliefs and theories are not sufficient to judge the literary works rightly. Therefore, new lenses should be explored to enter into the world of fictional prose works as such.

The doctrine of God in Islam was built as a supreme tradition, in which infiltrate into mankind souls. For centuries, Islam is deemed as an outsider and a threat for Western Christian followers. Consequently, any actions are taken to devastate Islam from the earth. Philosophically, this study aims to fortify Islamic theology againts political attacks particularly in separating Muslims from the concept of monotheism. This study employs a critical analysis method, a concept of sharp reasoning to obtain truth. The theory used to reduce metanarrative and elements of deconstruction is the Imre Lakatos research program, in which Islam means conformity or compatibility, harmony and logic. In the core of  Islam, monotheism means Allah  is One. It has “protective shields”which are the Holy Quran, hadith[s], and the theory of causality. The results of the study argue that the construction of divinity in Islam is solid and powerful and leads to a failure of criticism.

This paper aims to study the cognitive background of light and color in the culture and art of Islamic mysticism and architecture analytically. Islamic mysticism and architecture are two separate disciplines that pursue a common goal in light and color about the creation of the universe and its emergence in different realms. Architecture tries to express the delicate mystical aspects of this matter in the material world. The mysticism supposes the universe or the light of all lights begins from God, and this light, which is an aspect of existence, will be darker passing to the lower worlds. As the world of reason, the first universe, is white, and the world of the body, which is the last known universe, is black. The findings show that light and color are two fundamental elements of creation and existence, which, by mixing in Islamic mysticism and architecture, have found a new identity and have created a vast global vision toward Allah. This essay is based on an interpretive analytical method, based on Clifford Geertz's interpretations theories and functionalism of Branislaw Malinowski, based on a library and documentary methodology and a qualitative content analysis method that transforms from descriptive to interpretive.

يتناول البحث موضوع الإنسان في القرآن الكريم؛ بُغْية تحسين فهمنا للوحي القرآني وتحيينه، عن طريق دراسة نصوص الوحي فكرياً ومنهجياً. فالدراسة الفكرية تستكشف مضامين القرآن الكريم عن الإنسان، بالاستعانة بتحليل الخطاب، وقراءة آي القرآن الحكيم بتدبُّرٍ مُنتظَم يقوم على التلقّي، والإفادة من شبكة المفاهيم الـمُتعلِّقة بالإنسان التي أنتجتها العلوم الإنسانية المعاصرة، والعلوم الشرعية الإسلامية. أما الدراسة المنهجية المستندة إلى المقارنة وتحليل المضمون، فتفيد في المقارنة بين تحليل النص القرآني في اجتهادات الـمُفكِّرين المسلمين، وتصوُّرات الفكر الفلسفي المعاصر. ويرى الباحث أنَّ تصوُّر الإنسان في القرآن الكريم يُمثِّل مشروعاً بحثياً قابلاً للإثراء والاجتهاد المفتوح على المنظورات المعيارية والواقعية والغيبية المنضبطة بالقراءة القرآنية، للكشف عن طبيعة الإنسان ومهمته ومكانته في الوجود، ويُسهِم في بناء مفهومنا عن إنسان القرآن. This paper deals with the topic of Man in the Holy Quran in order to improve and revive our understanding of the Quranic revelation, in content and methodology. Through the study of the content, using discourse analysis, systematic contemplation and making use of network of concepts in contemporary human sciences and Shariah sciences, we would discover how the Holy Quran presents Man. Through the methodological study by using comparative methods and content analysis, we would compare the analysis of Quranic text as perceived by Muslim scholars, with contemporary philosophical thought. The researcher believes that concept of human in the Holy Quran  is considered a research project capable of enrichment and open to diligent efforts of normative, realistic perspectives guided by the Quranic concept of the human nature, position and mission in the world. This would enhance our understanding of Man and contribute to building our concept of Homo-Quranicus.
