Deanship of Scientific Research

https://units.imamu.edu.sa/deanships/SR/profile/Pages/default.aspx 

Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University is distinguished as one of the largest scientific institutions in the field of Islamic sciences and humanities in general, and Sharia sciences in particular.

Given the importance of scientific research in this regard, the university initiated, in its fifth session, on Shawwal 15, 1397 AH, the establishment of a research center to supervise scientific research at the university.

In the interest of the university to take care of scientific research and expand its fields to keep pace with the successive developments, the research center turned into the current Deanship of Scientific Research under Supreme Council Resolution No. 3 for the year 1405 AH. The unified regulation for scientific research in Saudi universities issued by the Higher Education Council Resolution No. 2/10/1419 AH in its tenth session, culminating in the approval of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, the Chairman of the Council, with the kind telegram No. 7/B/4403 dated 4/2/1419 AH in its fourth article, to circulate the establishment of the Deanship For scientific research in each university, it is affiliated with the Vice Rector for Postgraduate Studies and Scientific Research.

Perhaps this shows the extent of the university's keenness on scientific research, which came first through a practical application, embodied in the establishment of the Deanship of Scientific Research at the university before the issuance of the unified regulation for scientific research and the generalization of the establishment of scientific research deanships in universities.

Title: Contemporary Perspectives on What the Atheist Avoids (Fiqh Study).

Summary: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of earth and heaven, the living quarter, who is unique in survival, who wrote on the people of this house the courtyard, and told them that those who receive with God the reward and dignity of those who are the most loyal to him, and the quickest to respond to his command.

His Almighty limit creation to limits, legitimized laws, and his commands and marriages came to us, whoever obeyed him and followed his command has paradise, and from his stick he was recited by his disobedience to fire, and prayer and peace be upon Muhammad the Amin, who sent mercy to the worlds, and an argument against the people of the deceitful and corrupt, and on all his family and companions. And after:

Allah -I- has mounted this house on the vices and the sorrows, and afflicted its people with diseases and sicknesses, life and death; to bless them which one is the best work, and came from the laws and rulings what absorbs all this, just as life has its own provisions, death has provisions that belong to it, including the mourning of the deceased at the time of its counting, and because the wise street prohibited the atheist from some things, and new in our present time some things that have formed on people today whether the limit needs to be avoided or are they at the origin of the permissibility, I chose to be my research In this important jurisprudential part, I will elaborate on the judgment therein, and show what is forbidden to do against the atheist and what is not forbidden, and the heretical prohibitions introduced by ignorant people in this worship, in order to make it more urgent to do so, and the many questions asked by women about this part in particular.

Course: 9 Project Number: 370305 - Project Field: Highlighting Gifts and Educational Aspects in the Holy Quran - Project Duration: 12 Months   

Title: The material (Halk) its connotations, uses and methods in the Holy Qur'an.

Summary: Praise be to Allah, we praise Him, we help Him, we forgive Him, we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of ourselves, from the evils of our deeds, from the evils of our deeds, from those who are guided by Allah and are not misled by Him, and those who deceive are not guided by Him, and I testify that there is no God but Allah alone who has no partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Prophet. And after:

The book of Allah is the best place in which ages are spent, and minds and thoughts wander in its courtyards, whoever accepts it succeeds, and whoever is wider receives loss and boar, its wonders do not perish, and its generosity does not expire, the Almighty said: "Say that the sea was an extension of the words of my Lord to run out of the sea before the words of my Lord ran out and if we came with his example for a long time" [Cave: 109].

It became the kiss of scientists and the destination of researchers, until their stripes varied and their methods differed in extracting its sciences and devising through it and its lessons, between an interpreter, an analyst, an originator, and a comparator, until they left the nation with a living science that cherishes statistics.

The efforts of contemporaries have been evident in their treatment of Qur'anic studies through objective interpretation, which is based - in one of its types - on tracing the word and its contextual connotations, studying it objectively, and linking it to the contemporary reality of the Ummah to derive solutions from the noble verses of the problems that arise in humanity.

Hence, this objective research was in the Holy Qur'an, which is based on the collection of verses that dealt with the subject of (perish) and the study of them in the Qur'an.

I made its title: (Semantics, Uses and Methods of the Substance of Hulk in the Holy Qur'an) in which I trace the word, its derivations, synonyms, and opposites, and study its connotations and uses and deal with it according to its appearance in the Holy Qur'an. Allah is the Guardian of Success.

Abstract: The research aims to identify the qualitative plurality in the patterns of discourse; given the status of the speaker, in particular, in terms of his psychological state, from joy or sadness, rejoicing or contraction, loss or meeting, and in terms of his emotional state in terms of satisfaction or anger, love or hatred, turnout or management, and the difference of discursive growth by the impact of the age work of the creator, what he says while in the flower of his age, is not like what he says when his star is about to fade away, and his sunset, And the harvest of the garden of his life, and the consequent accompaniment of the enthusiasm of the youth, or the wisdom of the elders.

Title: Aesthetics of proportionality in part (atoms).

Summary: The miracle of the Holy Qur'an was not limited to one direction, but its miracle included all aspects, including the greatness of the graphic expression, which was the most prominent area of miracle in it when it descended on our Prophet Muhammad, because the Arabs at that time were people of eloquence and eloquence, and they reached the highest levels of disclosure and statement, so the Holy Qur'an, with its graphic and expressive miracle, was amazing for them, as it exceeded them by long and wide stages, and they did not find a way to keep up with it.

The truth is that the theorizing of such issues has been stabilized, known and famous, and if we Muslims believe in the miracle of the rhetorical Qur'an, others need applied studies to confirm the validity of this, and even many Muslims today recite these suras in their prayers and scientific councils, but they do not realize how the rhetorical miracle happened, and from what ways the wise male surpassed the words of humans, and why did these verses amaze the Arabs and they were unable to come up with them?

Because of the importance of enlightening Muslims on this important issue, came this research, which tries to stand on the aesthetics of proportionality in the part (the atoms), seeking to reveal a glimpse of the features of this eloquence, and a manifestation of this miracle, by touching the aesthetics of proportionality between the wall of this part, and the close relationship that organizes the scenes of its dignified surah. I chose this part precisely because of the lack of studies in it, and the suras of this part of the suras are characterized by remarkable compositional and rhythmic richness, as they are dominated by fresh Qur'anic separations, hidden rhythms, and balanced compositions, which makes revealing the aesthetics of the proportionality between the suras and their scenes extremely important.

Keywords: eloquence, proportionality, Qur'an, atoms, aesthetics, part, relationships, occasions.

Under the patronage of His Excellency the Rector of the University, Prof. Dr. Ahmed bin Salem Al-Ameri, a ceremony was held on Tuesday, 11 Shaaban 1440 AH, the ceremony of the Research Excellence Award for the academic year 1439-1440 AH in its tenth session, and the granting of incentives to the Global Publishing Program in its seventh session.

The ceremony began with the recitation of verses from the Holy Quran and then the screening of a documentary film reviewing the progress of the award and incentives, after which the Dean of Scientific Research, Dr. Abdulrahman bin Abdul Aziz Al-Muqaddim, delivered a speech in which he explained the keenness of the university to play its role in paying attention to scientific research, and providing all means that contribute to the development of research capabilities of university employees and other interested parties, and to emphasize the university's continued care for scientific research and its quest to upgrade the capabilities of faculty members, and contribute to the movement of scientific research at the university.

The ceremony celebrated the world's excellence as more than 130 researchers were given incentives to publish papers listed in the Science Network. Among those eligible for the incentives were university staff who were scholarship assistants and lecturers, as well as graduate students at the university who were master's and doctoral students.

In order to obtain incentives, it is required to publish in refereed scientific journals or conferences listed in the Web of Science, and that the name of Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University be written on the research as one of the entities to which the researcher belongs. It should be noted that the scholarship holder can write the name of Imam University along with the name of the university where the scholarship student is studying as the university is the financier of the scholarship in his studies.

Note that the scholarship, graduate students and researchers from the university can receive bonuses of up to 40 thousand riyals per course, and the estimate of the reward depends on the ranking of the scientific journal in which the scientific work was published, compared to other journals classified by the Web of Science Network.

The Deanship of Scientific Research is pleased to invite the scholarship recipients to apply for incentives by the beginning of the next academic year, which will be announced in due course hopefully.

In his speech, His Excellency the Rector stressed that scientific research is one of the main axes of the university, and that any university that is not interested in scientific research cannot be a distinguished university and cannot be pioneered, and will not be in the ranks of international universities, stressing that scientific research this year has jumped a qualitative leap compared to previous years.
