Center for the Revival of Heritage Organizes a Seminar
Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Laith Majid Hussein, Director of the Center for the Revival of Arab Scientific Heritage at the University of Baghdad, the center organized a seminar on Monday September 8, 2025. The event was attended by a number of professors and academics and was held in the Nabīlah ʿAbd al-Munʿim Dāwūd Hall, under the title “The Demands of the People of Hellfire in the Holy Qur’an.”
The lecture was delivered by Prof. Dr. Taha Subti Ibrahim, a faculty member at our center, who spoke about the People of Hellfire in the Qur’an and the requests they make and declare. Among these demands are returning to worldly life, being released from Hell, or having the punishment reduced even for a single day. He explained that all these demands are voiced by the inhabitants of Hell, beginning with their wish to return to the world, then to be released from Hell, and finally to have the torment lessened — each carrying doctrinal and educational implications. He emphasized the importance of drawing lessons from the Qur’an in refining behavior and strengthening faith awareness
