 ملخص البحث:في خضم الصراع العالمي نحو إثبات الوجود التي تنهجه بعض الدول لإثبات وجودها وإلغاء الآخر، يجب أن تكون لنا وقفة مستمدة من الواقع الحضاري والثقافي للأمة الإسلامية التي عرفت عبر تاريخها الطويل، بتحقيق التناغم والانسجام بين مختلف الحضارات والثقافات والأجناس والأعراق التي انضوت تحت حكم الدولة الإسلامية. فلم يسع المسلمون عبر تاريخهم الطويل نحو إلغاء الآخر على الإطلاق، وإنما كانت كل الجهود تتوجه نحو تشجيع وترغيب أصحاب الديانات والثقافات الأخرى للانضمام إلى الحركة العلمية والثقافية والحضارية التي كانت تشجعها الدولة الإسلامية آنذاك. ومن هنا فإننا نشهد تحدّياً ذاتياً كبيراً في الوقت الراهن يحتم علينا إبراز هذا الجانب الحضاري لثقافتنا الذي ينسجم فيه الأنا والآخر بشكل متناغم. وإن تعليم اللغة العربية لغير الناطقين بها هو خير معين على نقل الثقافة العربية الإسلامية لأن اللغة تعتبر تمثيلاً حياً لثقافة أية أمة من الأمم. الكلمات المفتاحية: الثقافة-سوريا-الياباني-الفرنكفوني-الأمريكي Abstract:In the struggle to prove the perseverance of civilizations, some nations tend to cancel the identities of others. In this regard, Muslims must have their own position derived from the age long experience of the Islamic civilization in order to strike the same chord between the various nations and peoples of the Islamic belief. This experience is far away from denying the identities of the others but rather it nurtured these differences and enabled the diverse races and religions to contribute to a common cause to develop knowledge, culture and civilization. As of today, it is a challenge to put back this practice at the frontline of own cultures and blend with the otherness as it used to be. Perhaps, through the teaching of Arabic to the non-Arabs is one of the best approaches to expose the Arabic Islamic culture to the others since language itself is a live representative of the culture of its speakers.Keywords: Culture– Syria– Japan– Francophone– American.Abstrak:Dalam suasana pergelutan global untuk menentukan kewujudan yang diamalkan oleh beberapa buah negara untuk membuktikan kewujudannya dengan menghapuskan yang lain, kita mestilah mempunyai pendirian yang diolah daripada keadaan semasa serta budaya ilmu umat Islam yang telah lama dikenali dengan sejarahnya yang panjang, iaitu dengan merealisasikan keharmonian serta kesinambungan antara pelbagai tamadun, budaya, bangsa, keturunan yang berada di bawah pemerintahan Islam. Orang-orang Islam sepanjang sejarahnya tidak pernah bersikap ingin menghapuskan yang lain, bahkan, kesemua usaha yang dibuat selama ini adalah dengan tujuan menggalakkan serta menanam minat di kalangan penganut agama lain agar menyertai gerakan ilmu, budaya dan tamadun yang digerakkan oleh pemerintahan Islam pada waktu itu. Dari sudut ini, kita dapat merasakan cabaran sengit masa kini yang memerlukan kita menonjolkan aspek ketamadunan budaya kita yang berada di dalamnya harga diri dan lain-lain secara harmonis. Sesungguhnya di dalam pengajaran bahasa Arab kepada penutur bukan berbahasa Arab terdapat kebaikan tertentu terhadap pemindahan budaya Arab Islam kerana bahasa mewakili budaya sesuatu kaum.Kata kunci: Budaya– Syria– Jepun– Frankfurt- Amerika.

كان من أهم الآثار الإيجابية للصحوة الإسلامية التى عمت العالم الإسلامى بشكل ملحوظ منذ أوائل السبعينيات فى القرن العشرين زيادة إقبال الشعوب الإسلامية على تعلم اللغة العربية، وبدأ الاهتمام الحقيقى لجامعات العالم الإسلامى بتوفير مساقات متخصصة لهذا الغرض منذ أوائل الثمانينات، وكانت الجامعة الإسلامية العالمية بماليزيا التى أسست سنة 1983 من أنشط الجامعات فى هذا الصدد، وهو نشاط استلفت نظر الباحث إذ وجده يستحق الرصد والتوثيق العلمى، والمراجعة إذا اقتضت الضرورة لا بهدف الإشادة بالتجربة بل رغبة فى الإفادة والاستفادة من قبل المختصين من المهتمين بهذا الميدان الحيوى من ميادين خدمة اللغة العربية بل خدمة الإسلام، وحضارته نظرا للارتباط الوثيق بين اللغة العربية وهذا الدين الحنيف باعتبارها لغة كتابه الخالد، والمعلم الرئيس من معالم الهوية الإسلامية المميزة والصمود الحضارى.*****************************************************One of the most positive effects of the Islamic awakening since the early seventies, in the twentieth century, which spread across the Islamic world in a significant manner, has been the increased Muslims’ interest in learning the Arabic language all over the world. There began a real interest in the universities of the Muslim world for the Arabic language by providing specialized courses for this purpose since the early eighties and  the International Islamic University Malaysia established in 1983 has been the most active university in this regard. And this activity of the university drew the interest of the researcher who found it worthy of investigation and scientific documentation as well as of revision, if necessary, not in order to pay tribute to the experience, but for taking advantage and learning from specialists interested in this vital field of the fields of Arabic language service which is actually service of Islam and its civilization considering the strong connection between Islam and the Arabic language, the language of the Qur’Én , the most distinctive feature of Islamic identity and resilience of Islamic civilization.

In this book Geert Jan van Gelder, Laudian Professor of Arabic at the University of Oxford, studies how Arab–Islamic culinary culture was represented in Arabic literature. He thus contributes to our knowledge of both Arabic literature and, indirectly, Arab–Islamic gastronomy and cookery. Although representations of food as such are not the finest aspects of Arabic literature, and the preparation and consumption of food are not the finest aspects of Arab–Islamic civilization, his perspective throws light on little-studied facets of Arab–Islamic culture that are worth noting.

The present research aims at codifying the modified symptoms list on a sample of students from Taibah University. In order to achieve this goal, the researchers used the survey method. They started by translating the list into Arabic language and modifying its terms according to the rules of the Arabic language without prejudice to the psychological sense of the items. Thus, the psychometric characteristics of the list were verified by studying its validity and stability. Honesty was verified using content validation and constructional honesty through empirical empirical analysis and discrete honesty, while consistency was verified using internal consistency and repeatability. All of which confirmed that the list of symptoms had good indicators of truth and consistency. The results of the study were based on a sample of (625) subjects, of which 283 males and 342 females were used to extract the separate T criteria for males and females, similar to the original study of the list and other studies. The results of the study showed differences between males and females All sub-measures, additional items, general distress index, total positive symptoms, and indicator of suffering of positive symptoms, all were in favor of females. Current research recommends using a list of symptoms in psychiatric centers and clinics for rapid diagnosis, and the regulation of a list of adolescents.

Ansaq continues working towards becoming a solid scientific and global research-publishing platform, while contributing to translating the strategic goal of Qatar University in the field of scientific research. The QU strategic goal aspires that “the University should excel in focused, relevant, measurable, influential and collaborative research, and should be keen on finding solutions, and pushing towards progress in knowledge and innovation.” The University’s tireless efforts in academic higher education and scientific research have qualified it to occupy advanced positions in Arab, regional and international classifications. Additionally, it recently bagged second place in the Times Higher Education classification (THE) for Arab universities, 2021. Such ranking would not have been achieved without the presence of this insightful vision and ambitious strategy, and working with determination to implement it. Ansaq is pleased to present to its honorable readers and researchers this new issue, which contains six research papers covering different knowledge areas of Arabic language sciences and literature, such as grammar, rhetoric, literature, novel and others; in addition to a book review. Thus, it strengthens bridges of communication among scholars and researchers in Arabic language sciences and literature from East, West, North and South of the world, enabling them to explore knowledge emanating from different countries, and expanding the circle of knowledge exchange across the four directions of the compass. Without the continuous support of various parties at Qatar University and its affiliates, the journal would not have published this edition, and the previous editions as well. This support starts with the journal’s editorial board and their untiring work through the stages of the research journey; from reception until publication, the Languages, Media and Translation Sector at the College of Arts and Sciences, and the members of the Arabic Language Department. Furthermore, Qatar University Press remains to be the main partner of Ansaq, and the permanent supporter of the journal’s work and its publications. This new edition of Ansaq has been published after launching the electronic platform of the journal on Qatar University website, which enables automation of work in the journal at every stage. Researchers can upload their research directly through this platform and follow the peer-review procedures, and how they progress until publication. The launching of this e-platform is the result of diligent and hard work for more than a year led by Qatar University Press, in cooperation with the University Library. All of these steps ultimately lead to translating the strategic goal of Qatar University in terms of scientific research, developing it to serve the scientific community, and contribute to the development of knowledge that ultimately serves societies, or should do so.

This chapter describes the my experience as the instructor for a course rooted in community based learning theory that was forced to move online in spring, 2020, due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The course, titled ‘CASA Without Borders’, allows Arabic language students in the Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) program at The American University in Cairo (AUC) to leave the university environment and serve the community, while also benefiting from the experience both linguistically and culturally. This course was disrupted by the students’ mandatory return to the US from Cairo as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, and continued remotely in an online format. This chapter describes the CASA program and explains both the purpose of the CASA Without Borders course and its significance to CASA students and to the program. It also describes and reflects upon my experience of continuing the course remotely during the ongoing pandemic.

The development of e-Learning is very promising at all levels of education. Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) has developed an e-learning or known as Kelip in 2006. However, the impact of e-learning on student achievement has no further explanation. Thus this quantitative study is aimed at exploring whether the use of e-learning, also known as KeLiP at the University of Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA), is able to improve student’s achievement among the excellent students of language (PCB) and the below-average students of language (PKCB). The comparisons between the achievements of both groups are also studied. This experimental study involved 69 UniSZA diploma students taking the Arabic Language Proficiency course level 2 (UBA 1022). The students have been learning through KeLiP for 10 weeks with content materials from the UBA 1022 module which were presented electronically in the form of graphics, images, sounds, videos and hyperlinks. Pre and post test was conducted to evaluate student achievement. The study shows that the use of KeLiP has improved PCB and PKCB achievements with a mean of 26.545 per cent. The excellent students’ performances (PCB) continue to maintain their excellence over PKCB with a mean difference of 11.72 per cent. This study proves that KeLiP is able to improve student’s achievement overall and thus serves as an encouragement for the wide use of KeLiP among students and lecturers.

<p>This article seeks to find out the intersection between scientific approach and Islamic religious education as a subject matter. The scientific approach adopts scientific steps in building scientific knowledge, i.e. such featuring dimensions as observation, reasoning, inquiry, validation anD and description of scientific truth. Since the scientific approach is regarded as too empirical, rational and logical. In Cartesian sense, it contradicts the logical structure of the subject of Islamic religious education. Five aspects of Islamic religious education (the Qur’ân, Hadîth, Aqîdah Akhlaq, Fiqh, history of Islamic culture, and Arabic language) have different characteristics, even demand a non-scientific logics such as intuition and revelation. Aqîdah (belief), for example, which consists of the doctrine of monotheism (<em>tawh</em><em></em><em>id</em>) is difficult to be scrutinized through empirical evidence. There are some other examples in this field which are difficult to be analyzed by means of scientific approach. Through library research, this article nevertheless finds that the logic of scientific approach and Islamic religious education can be integrated, since revelation and reason are mutually supportive.</p>

The perception of the Arabic letter in art has gone through many changes from the Islamic civilization to the modern age. Following the political and socio-cultural changes of the 19th and 20th century, the Arabic script lost its sacredness. After decades of limited existence in traditional craft, the Arabic letter reappeared in modern Arab art around the middle of the 20th century on nationalistic bases. The Arabic language had acquired a high value during the age of colonialism as a symbol of national identity, a unifier; this value only grew stronger with time. The letter was also a signifier that aided twentieth-century Arab artists in their artistic identity crisis. A number of art groups—such as the Baghdad Group of Modern Art, formed in 1951—were established with their focus on a search for a local or national art style through ‘istilham al-turath,’ seeking inspiration from tradition. The Arabic letter became the means for connecting artists’ present with their past and allowing for the invention of tradition. Huroufiyah (Arabic for Letterism), a highly contested term initiated by a newspaper journalist, became a term popularly used to signify all experiments with the Arabic letter in the modern Arab art. Nevertheless, the term is surrounded by controversy in the contemporary Arab world and rejected by a number of scholars and artists. The term al-Madrassa al-Khattiya Fil-Fann (Calligraphic School of Art), has been alternatively proposed, expressing specifically a perceived continuation with Islamic calligraphy.

Arabic in Indonesia is not only the language of religion, inheritance and civilization but also the language of communication between Arabic instructors or between Arabic students. In addition, Arabic is also daily language used in boarding schools that are scattered throught the regions in Indonesia. Arabic always develops according to the times. So, all Arabic instructors must also improve their competence. Madrasah Al-Sun education institutions seemed to be a solution for all Arabic language teachers in Indonesia, because the Madrasah Al-Sun used a special strategy in its teaching, namely Uslub Al-Sun. By using Uslub Al-Sun, the instructor is able to learn more deeply about Islamic civilization and is able to master contemporary vocabulary due to active discussions conducted. This study uses qualitative methods so that researchers get more in-depth data in accordance with the facts in the foeld about Uslub Al-Sun that is used to improve the teaching competence of Arabic.
