Transformations in the Relationship between Abd al-Karim Qasim and Abd al-Salam Arif: Political Alliances and Republican Conflicts
type: item
description: (1958-1953)The deterioration of the country’s conditions during the reign of King Faisal II generated a state of popular anger and resentment toward the government, particularly after the spread of foreign interference. These internal circumstances paved the way for the emergence of several organizations led by a group of officers who were discontented with the monarchy, among them Abd al-Karim Qasim and Abd al-Salam Arif. The officers’ organizations eventually united, resulting in the formation of a new organization modeled after the Egyptian Free Officers Movement that had led the 1952 Revolution All those who joined the Iraqi Free Officers Organization were bound by a single objective and goal: the overthrow of the monarchy in Iraq. This objective constituted the fundamental basis upon which the relationship between Abd al-Karim Qasim and Abd al-Salam Arif was built during that period. Their preoccupation with achieving this goal prevented each of them from fully understanding the other’s character and personal traits. Moreover, the surrounding circumstances were not conducive to the emergence of other aspects of their personalities.After the two men and their associates succeeded in igniting the revolution and bringing an end to monarchical rule in Iraq, the Qasim–Arif relationship began to take a different course following the 14 July 1958 Revolution. This shift is attributed to the formation of an environment conducive to the emergence of other facets of their personalities, most notably the desire of each to monopolize power. This desire, alongside other factors related to differences in their ideological orientations and their divergent approaches to governing the country, contributed to the creation, growth, and eventual intensification of the conflict between the two former comrades-in-arms.The conflict ultimately ended with the killing of Abd al-Karim Qasim by Abd al-Salam Arif in the aftermath of the latter’s participation, in cooperation with the Ba‘ath…

Cultural Factors of Migration in Iraq 2014-2017
type: item
description: This study focuses on three main factors for the act of migration in Iraq between 2014 and 2017: (cultural change, extremist thought to the level of power, and the cultural hero). These three factors are considered as three primary cultural reasons for migration during this period. As is evident, culture, in all its broad and complex meanings, is constantly changing and new definitions are being formed for it. Specifically, after the colonial process, a kind of cultural change emerged, and with postmodernism, this cultural change took shape in a way that made individuals think more about migration. Furthermore, extremist thought to the level of power refers to the emergence of a fundamentalist and fanatical force like ISIS, which at a certain stage compelled the people of Iraq and Syria to choose migration. This migration took two directions: internal and external. The desire for individual freedom and lifestyle means that the individual feels this place is no longer suitable for living, and therefore is forced to choose migration. This study relies on an analytical approach and data emphasized by official centers and research. Cultural changes are considered a factor for migration and the choice of individual lifestyle. Additionally, the influence of the cultural hero on migration exists in Iraq, manifested in tribal leaders, heads of nomadic groups and various groups, and even within Sufi orders. Undoubtedly, these are the gaps that this study sheds light on.

The religious and political motivations behind the Olympic Games
type: item
description: The Olympic Games were a significant event in ancient Greece, representing a prominent institution and playing a pivotal role in the development of society and politics, as well as contributing to the formation of leadership figures. The relationship between religion and the Olympic Games is a multifaceted topic; from its inception, the Games were closely intertwined with religious practices, being held in honor of the Greek gods and serving as a means of expressing devotion and seeking divine favor. This study aims to explore the complex relationship between the Olympic Games, religion, and politics by analyzing these aspects. The research problem focuses on the status of both sports and politics in the ancient Greek state, how the Games were used for political purposes, and the methods employed. The study also examines the relationship between sports and politics in ancient Greece, explaining the reasons for its development. The study's hypothesis posits that the Olympic Games played a significant role in ancient Greek politics, based on the close connection between these three phenomena: the Games, religion, and politics.

The role of culture in the social development of children
type: item
description: Culture is a comprehensive and intertwined subject connected to history،customs،traditions،and developments،all of which play a role in the social upbringing of the child. Parents primarily facilitate the child's social development through culture،which represents the most effective method. This research discusses the significant role of culture in this process. The study aims to analyze the function of culture in the social development of the child and to demonstrate how cultural and historical changes influence this process. The central research problem is focused on the question: "Does culture play a role in the child's social development?" The study specifically links the importance and characteristics of cultural elements and components to social development. The research methodology was descriptive-analytical, particularly utilizing semi-structured interviews with eight (8) university lecturers from the College of Education for Human Sciences in Said Sadiq/University of Sulaimani. The questions generally focused on the importance of culture and history in the general education of children. The findings emphasize the necessity of introducing children to culture, core values, and national and cultural foundations from an early stage through effective means such as stories, songs, and art. The study revealed that children familiar with both their own culture and external cultures possess better abilities to solve their problems. Various institutions, including the family, school, media, and others, have a key role in transmitting culture to the child, thereby actively contributing to the child's social development and establishing the foundation for a healthy and active personality. Finally, the research conclusions, suggestions, recommendations, and references are presented.

The archaeological sites in the city of Granada and their role in historical knowledge (635-897 AH / 1237-1492 AD)
type: item
description: The historical and cultural landmarks of Granada are remarkably diverse, as evidenced by the abundance of its architectural structures, including schools, mosques, churches, palaces, hotels, markets, streets, squares, gates, towers, and baths. Numerous sultans, princes, and rulers in Granada were responsible for constructing these monuments, each for different purposes: to immortalize their legacy, to demonstrate the power and grandeur of their rule, to serve their own personal interests and provide entertainment, and also to meet the needs and daily requirements of the general public, as seen in the construction of public facilities such as markets, hotels, and baths. These monuments exemplify the architectural and engineering advancements of Al-Andalus, reflecting sophisticated design, intricate ornamentation, and high-quality construction, as evidenced by the fact that some of them still stand proudly today. This is further elaborated upon in the main text of the research.

Mirza Jawad Khan Saʿd al-Dawla and His Role in the Iranian Constitutional Revolution 1905–1911
type: item
description: Mirza Jawad Khan, known as Saʿd al-Dawla, was one of the prominent figures who left a clear imprint on the history of modern and contemporary Iran, particularly during the Constitutional Revolution (1905–1911). Until 1907, he was among the most ardent supporters of the revolution as a member of the parliament. However, he did not withstand the temptations of power and the pursuit of political influence for long. He shifted from the opposition camp to the royalist front, becoming one of the key figures aligned with Mohammad Ali Shah and serving as the head of the last cabinet during the so-called “Minor Autocracy” (1908–1909). His political role came to an end thereafter, despite his attempts to return to the political scene in 1911.

New Abrahamism. An Analytical Study of Intellectual Roots and Political Dimensions
type: item
description: This research provides a critical analysis of the “New Abrahamism” project, emphasizing that it is not merely a call for interfaith dialogue, but rather an ideological-political project aimed at achieving specific strategic goals. The analysis clearly distinguishes between the term “Abrahamic religions” as an academic, descriptive concept, and “New Abrahamism” as an action plan that seeks to integrate Judaism, Christianity, and Islam into a common faith. This integration, according to the text, inevitably leads to the obliteration of the doctrinal and legislative specificities of each religion, most notably the comprehensiveness of Islamic law. To achieve its goals, the project uses soft power tools through linguistic engineering and attractive terms such as “spiritual diplomacy” and “the Abrahamic family house.” This humanitarian discourse is considered to conceal an agenda aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause by redefining the conflict from an occupation conflict to a religious dispute that can be resolved within the “Abrahamic family,” thus delegitimizing the resistance. The “Abraham Accords” are the direct political translation of this project, providing religious cover for a regional alliance that integrates Israel into the region, while completely ignoring it. For Palestinian rights.

The Relationship Between Religion And Magic in Ancient Egypt
type: item
description: There is no dispute that religion was the dominant force in the emotions of the Pharaonic Egyptian people. Initially, the individual would supplicate to his god to ward off evil or reward him with good. At the same time, however, he would seek to fulfill his needs through methods more powerful and effective than those of the god he worshipped. Thus, matters became increasingly confused. We find that man recognized that, at all times and in all places, he was surrounded by hidden forces beyond his understanding. Therefore, he attempted to entice these forces through supplication, sometimes through art, at other times. In reality, religion and magic were the offspring of this dual human effort, and it became natural for them to intersect at several points. In times of misery, the ancient Egyptian often turned to his gods in supplication or fear, desire or awe. If he was unable to achieve what he desired, he resorted to magic, which controlled even the gods. The most important themes of this study were spells and amulets, magical rituals, astrology, and dreams.

The Consequences of the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992 – 1995)
type: item
description: This research explores the consequences of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992–1995), focusing on the religious, political, and geopolitical dimensions of the conflict and its deep impact on Muslims in the Balkans. Researcher Diana Fares Mohammed concludes that the weakening of the Ottoman Empire significantly contributed to the decline of Muslim power in the region, which enabled Serbia to exploit religious narratives to justify its ethnic cleansing policies. The study highlights the strategic importance of the Balkans, making it a target for competing global powers. The war's brutality, marked by mass killings and genocide, triggered strong reactions across the Islamic world. Although the 1995 Dayton Agreement ended the hostilities, it entrenched ethnic divisions and undermined prospects for lasting democratic unity. The study ultimately shows that the war reflected both international rivalry and internal Yugoslav struggles, with the greatest cost borne by the civilian population—especially Muslims—who suffered displacement, violence, and systemic persecution

The Social and Political Role of Women in Costa Rica (1848-1953)
type: item
description: Women are the true foundation and infrastructure of societies throughout history, with all its upheavals, conflicts, and repercussions. A study of the reality of women in Central America in general, and in Costa Rica in particular, reveals a deliberate exclusion of women from essential aspects of life. They have been neglected in education, healthcare, and participation, marginalized, and weakened, their role confined to the home without any training, support, or development. However, Costa Rican women have not succumbed to this exclusionary policy. Instead, they have embarked on a struggle for liberation and the gradual attainment of their rights, overcoming obstacles along this difficult path and working to fill the void created by their absence from various aspects of life, the state, and society, which desperately need them. Thus, this study focuses on examining the role of Costa Rican women in its various stages and its social, educational, health, and administrative significance. It culminates in their legislative and political empowerment through elections, candidacy, and decision-making, representing a valuable experience worthy of further research and study.

Human Rights between the Prophetic Biography and the Battle of Banū Qurayẓah: A Historical and Critical Study
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the Battle of Banū Qurayẓah in light of modern human rights standards, through a critical analysis of the historical narratives and a comparative reading with the ethical and legal principles embedded in the Prophetic Sīrah (biography of the Prophet Muḥammad, peace be upon him and his family). The research proceeds from the premise that the Prophet’s handling of this crisis was neither arbitrary nor retaliatory; rather, it was grounded in a coherent moral and legal framework that remarkably aligns with what is today known as International Humanitarian Law (IHL). The study demonstrates that the widely circulated narrative depicting the event as a “mass execution” lacks definitive transmission and relies on weak and contradictory reports, often inflated in numbers. In contrast, the Qur’ānic verse - “Some you killed and some you took captive” (al-Aḥzāb 33:26) - clearly distinguishes between those guilty of active treachery and non-combatants. Consequently, punishment was confined to those who had taken up arms or directly violated the pact, while women, children, and civilians were spared. A comparative analysis reveals that the Prophetic practice anticipated key principles of modern humanitarian law, such as the protection of civilians (Geneva Conventions of 1949 and Additional Protocol I, Article 48), the right to a fair trial (Article 10, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948), individual accountability, and the prohibition of collective punishment. The arbitration conducted by the Prophet through Saʿd ibn Muʿādh represents an early form of judicial independence and transitional justice as later conceptualized in modern legal thought. In conclusion, the study argues that, when properly contextualized, the Battle of Banū Qurayẓah stands as an early model of humanitarian justice in times of conflict. The Prophetic Sīrah, far from contradicting the essence of human rights, emerges as one of their earliest manifestations — balancing the …

Religion and its different consequences from the view point of Abdullah Ocalan (1973-1999)
type: item
description: Religion plays a vital, multifaceted role in Abdullah Ocalan's thought, This attention to religion must be analyzed objectively and scientifically, particularly during the period from 1973 to 1999. This is because most of his perspectives and ideas during that time were influenced by Marxist-Leninist and revolutionary leftist thought, as he viewed religion and Islam from multiple perspectives. Two main approaches have emerged in analyzing Öcalan's views on religion: one portrays him as a religious person who believes in religion, while the other rejects religion because he adheres to Marxist-Leninist thought, which is considered atheistic. We suppose that neither of these approaches relies on scientific research and analysis, but rather on emotion and ideology. Therefore, a third approach should emerge, one based on objective and scientific analysis and research, after reading and studying most of Öcalan's books and ideas related to religion. Therefore, we have dedicated this study to analyzing and researching this topic.

People with disabilities in ancient Egypt
type: item
description: The ancient Egyptians left behind a vast legacy of their culture, religion, gods, affairs, and personal and daily life through inscriptions and depictions on the walls of tombs and temples. As a result, we have a good understanding of the daily lives of the ancient Egyptians. Congenital anomalies were common in ancient Egypt, and these conditions were well represented in the sculptures and drawings left by the Egyptians on papyrus and temple walls. Some congenital deformities may have been inherited or caused by factors that negatively affect the fetus during pregnancy. Sometimes, they may appear immediately after birth, or symptoms may manifest later during the growth period. For example, Senb suffered from a form of dwarfism known as kyphosis. Sometimes, there may be some curvature of the spine. Leg deformities also stand out, with one body part depicted ideally with detailed lines showing muscles and bones. Kyphosis, a deformity causing curvature in the upper back, is another example. Clubfoot, a condition where one or both feet are inverted, causing difficulty in walking, is also depicted.

Religious Thought of the Afterlife
type: item
description: The inhabitants of the Nile were deeply concerned with the supernatural, and their social, religious, and political lives were marked by this belief. For them, death was not an end but a beginning, a transitional phase. It is worth noting that the Egyptian practice of mummification has parallels with the myth of Isis and Osiris, as priests were influenced by this myth and performed the mummification process. The Egyptians in the pre-dynastic period did not practice mummification because there was no perceived need for it. The Coffin Texts of the mid-third millennium BC contain concise texts that pertained to the tomb itself, not the deceased, and consisted of magical formulas directed against those who might plunder it. After the deceased's body was prepared and mummified, it was handed over to the family for burial. The Egyptian burial process was dramatic and poignant. The family of the deceased did not hesitate to feign grief in public. Four other boats were used to transport those who wished to accompany the deceased to their final resting place. All the funerary furniture was placed on these boats, leaving only the removal of the coffin and the furniture. The funerary and his arrangement in the tomb, then many things such as sticks, weapons and amulets were placed around him. These ceremonies were specific to kings, princes and members of the wealthy class, while members of the lower classes were buried with simple ceremonies in modest tombs or they took advantage of old tombs and expanded them a little, and the coffin was placed in them. As for the gods of the afterlife, they are: Khenti-Amintu; Anbu or Anubis; Osiris; Meret-Sokar; Atum; Kherti: a god in the form of a ram, whose task was to carry the deceased to the afterlife; and Thoth.

The Structure of Religious Thought in Ancient Egypt
type: item
description: This study discusses the early ideas that embodied ancient Egyptian religious thought, beginning with their knowledge of God and their use of various names, including both masculine and feminine. It appears that these ideas originally emphasized the pluralism that characterized religious thought in the ancient world at this stage, before the first humans achieved monotheism. The ancient Egyptians used the word "Neter" to denote the singular form of "god." This word appears in Egyptian texts in the singular form (Ntr) or (Ntr), in the dual form (Ntrwj), the dual feminine form (Ntrtj), and in the masculine plural (Ntrw) and the feminine plural (Ntrwt). This sign is similar in meaning to the Sumerian sign (Denkar) and the sign of El in the Arabian Peninsula. Although all ancient religions were characterized by complexity and ambiguity, Egyptian religion was distinguished by it more than others. This is perhaps due to the abundant diversity in all aspects of civilization and the penetration of religion into various aspects of life. Religion emerged directly from the customs of prehistoric farmers and shepherds. One of the most important features that distinguished Egyptian religious thought from that of other peoples of the ancient Near East was its creativity regarding the afterlife.

title: The Effectiveness of Using Metacognitive Strategies and Their Relationship to Levels of Historical Literacy Among History Department Lecturers from the Perspective of Students at the College of Education, Wasit University
description: An effective lecturer must possess two fundamental aspects: one academic, focusing on specialisation through information and knowledge, and the other professional and pedagogical, focusing on educational methods using teaching strategies and approaches that help learners develop their thinking, meet their needs, and achieve their aspirations. From this perspective, it is incumbent upon the lecturer to provide distinguished education to learners by teaching them how to think, through the use of teaching strategies concerned with developing thinking and unleashing creative potential in learners. These strategies help transfer the learner from a culture of receiving information to a culture of constructing, processing, and transforming information into knowledge, represented in discovering relationships and phenomena, enabling them to transition from the stage of knowledge to the stage of metacognition, which requires reflection upon knowledge, deepening understanding and interpretation, exploring its apparent dimensions, and the necessity of using cognitive learning strategies in general. As for historical literacy, advanced societies have become in urgent need of lecturers who possess a sufficient degree of knowledge and skills that enable them to continue learning and dealing with life's realities. Therefore, it is essential to confront this scientific revolution by bringing the social sciences closer to students' minds, which is achieved through the culture of historical literacy. This encompasses the teaching staff member's familiarity with an appropriate degree of scientific knowledge, practical skills and applications, and positive attitudes towards their specialisation, as well as their ability to solve problems, especially as the university system has witnessed numerous developments, whether in terms of its objectives, content, or technologies, which have significantly impacted the performance of university teaching staff members.

Iranian Policy Towards the Maghreb Countries: A Study In the Algerian model
type: item
description: The Maghreb region is one of the most important regions in the Arab world, and many countries around the world seek to direct their policies toward this region due to its strategic and economic importance. The countries of this region are close to Europe, and some of them possess vast quantities of oil, such as Algeria and Libya. After the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran moved to establish relations with these countries, out of a desire to extend its influence toward the Maghreb. Iranian interest in them increased, especially after the deterioration of its relations with many countries of the Arab Mashreq. The importance of this study stems from the fact that, after the American pressure on it because of its nuclear program, Iran began seeking to change its policy toward many countries of the world, including the countries of the Maghreb. It began to seek to develop its relations with these countries on all political, economic, and cultural levels, in a way that meets the ambitions of its interests in this region The study hypothesis is based on the fundamental point that Iranian openness towards the Maghreb region, especially Algeria, is an attempt to break the Western and American siege on it and to gain the favor of the countries of this region in supporting it and achieving its goals and future aspirations.

The French Annales School and its impact on history
type: item
description: The French Annales School introduced new and innovative ideas, concepts and mechanisms in historical writing by avoiding narrative history and moving towards studying economic, social and cultural structures, and expanding its concept of the document to include all types of documents. We find a shift in the interest of Annales historians from studying the particular to studying the general, from studying the part to studying the whole, and from interest in the individual to studying society.

The historical roots of Israeli Shiites
type: item
description: Shiism is one of the Islamic sects that has had a varying presence in Palestine throughout the ages Although Sunni Islam has dominated the Palestinian scene, a study of historical and political contexts reveals that Shiism has existed during certain periods and in specific regions - whether in the form of states, communities, or intellectual influences. This research examines the development of the Shiite presence in Palestine, starting from the Islamic conquest, through the Fatimid and Ottoman eras, and up to the contemporary period. It also highlights the most prominent Shiite holy sites in Palestine and their associated names. The study relies on both primary and modern historical sources, in addition to various articles and personal interviews, in order to form a clear and objective scholarly picture that enabled us to arrive at a number of findings.

Peaceful coexistence and the importance of historical knowledge in Iraqi society
type: item
description: The societal structure that characterizes Iraq, based on sectarian, ethnic, and religious diversity, has not contributed to achieving national unity in the country over many decades. Rather, it has created a significant gap in existing relations at various levels, impacting the course of the political process and leading to violent conflicts and confrontations, particularly along ethnic and sectarian lines . The process of achieving peaceful coexistence in Iraqi society requires great efforts in order to reach a general framework and a cohesive basis for restructuring and rebuilding society. The excessive sensitivity between the parties that are in a state of hostility and disagreement, and the gaps of hatred and animosity and loss of trust towards each other requires serious work to restore unity by achieving peaceful coexistence within one country, leading to the achievement of The comprehensive national interest at the expense of political, sectarian and ethnic interests. The research was summarized in two axes, the first axis was: peaceful coexistence in Iraqi society, and it dealt with the general framework of the research and: the reality of coexistence between the components of Iraqi society over the course of historical developments, as well as the requirements and obstacles to peaceful coexistence and ways to address them in Iraqi society, while it dealt with The second axis: The importance of historical knowledge in educational curricula: It includes the most important factors linking historical knowledge and community education on the values of human rights and citizenship, as well as historical knowledge and issues of education on citizenship, and finally the conclusions and recommendations in the end

Ethics and the Interpretation of History in the Quran
type: item
description: Ethics constitutes a fundamental principle in the Quran. Following faith, emphasis has been placed on virtuous ethics while discouraging immoral conduct. History is one of the principal subjects that occupies extensive coverage in the Quran. The Quran's purpose in discussing history is not to refer to the minute details of events; rather, its objective and the rationale for this emphasis are clearly defined: to derive lessons and learn from historical events. Its discussion of historical figures aims to make these personalities exemplars and pioneers in virtuous conduct, or to serve as cautionary lessons whereby the consequences of their wrongdoings become known as examples of ruin and downfall. The Quran refers to the fate of previous nations, whose advancement was attributed to their virtuous ethics and adherence thereto, while conversely, the cause of their destruction and collapse resulted from their wrongdoings and corruption in various aspects of life. The Quran has established the foundation of human morality upon the principle of free will and choice, because ethics is intrinsically connected to freedom and human free will. If humans were not free in choosing their actions, they would undoubtedly bear no moral responsibility. Therefore, upon careful examination of the Quran, it becomes evident that it interprets history and past events from an ethical perspective and seeks to give an ethical orientation to historical events.

The role of memory in the narrative of history by Mirza Mohammad Amin Manguri
type: item
description: This study explores memory and historical writing, focusing on the role of recollection in the historical works of Mirza Muhammad Amin al-Manguri. It sheds light on his stance toward reviving the past and on the connection between the historian’s awareness, memory, and his treatment of historical events. The paper also highlights the characteristics of memorial writing in his works and discusses both the positive and negative dimensions of memory in recording history—particularly its role in conveying certain historical events inaccurately, which draws the reader’s attention. Furthermore, the study points out the weaknesses of al-Manguri’s historical memory and how these gaps appear through his reliance on recollection in interpreting events. It emphasizes the extent to which some of his information was influenced by the personal and social circumstances he experienced, leading to variations in his approach to recalling different historical periods.

The Impact of the Geographical Factor on the Emergence of Political Rebellions in Southern Iraq (The Zanj Rebellion as a Model)
type: item
description: The Zanj were a group of African slaves who spread terror in the Abbasid Caliphate's capital. The stage of this violent revolution, which lasted for more than fourteen years, was the marshlands stretching between Basra and Wasit. Groups of runaway slaves from nearby villages and towns, seeking to escape their miserable conditions, also joined them. They received no wages and survived only on small amounts of dates, flour, and porridge, which negatively affected their lives and ultimately led them to rise up against the authorities (Hassan, 2010, p. 216). These Zanj were led by a man named Ali ibn Muhammad, a Persian from al-Taliqan, who claimed that divine providence had sent him to rescue them from their misery (Hassan, 2010). Moreover, he adhered to external democratic principles, believing that they suited the egalitarian tendencies sought by many members of the lower class. As a result, he was able to rally these Zanj, as well as fugitive slaves from neighboring villages and towns seeking to escape their dire situation. He promised them wealth and leadership if they stood firmly by his side and pledged that he would never betray or abandon them, sealing his promises with oaths and commitments (Bitar, 1997 ).
