Prof. Dr. Wasan Hussein Mohaimeed ( in the humanity department)  participated in the sixth scientific international conference entitled ( from gendisabour to Bait Al-Hikma- reporters and Assyrian scientists in the civilization of the makers of golden Islamic era and renascence in Europe   The House of Wisdom, under the patronage of the Prime Minister’s Office, held the conference on December 18-19. She participated with her topic entitled (The Scientific Impact of Non-Muslims in the Abbasid Era/Translation as a Model), in which she discussed the translation movement in the Abbasid era and the impact of non-Muslims on it. The Abbasids did not limit their use of the expertise of non-Muslims to various state functions, such as the ministry, writing, bureaus, and medicine, but they also used them in a very important scientific movement, namely the translation movement. Non-Muslims took it upon themselves to translate many valuable books in various sciences from other languages ​​in which they excelled into Arabic. Among the most prominent non-Muslim torchbearers of translation in the Abbasid era were the Christians of Syria and Rome. The Christians of the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and Iraq practiced their cultural activity since the pre-Islamic era, writing in Syriac and translating from Greek. They continued in this manner after the emergence of Islam and the establishment of the Arab Islamic state, especially in the Abbasid era, which witnessed the peak of cultural prosperity and the greatness of translation. The Abbasid caliphs paid great attention to all types of sciences, and they had a great desire to learn about the sciences and literature of other nations, which resulted in an amazing blending between Arab Islamic culture and foreign cultures.

 

The center of heritage revival organizes seminar

(about the characteristics of language of Ibn Ginni 

Sponsored by prof. Dr. Alaa Nafea Jasim (the director of the center ) the center organized seminar entitled (about the characteristics of language of Ibn Ginni ) on Monday 9^th/12/2024 , the lecture is presented by Dr. instructor Baidaa Abdulhasan Radam who talks about Ibn Ginni Almosuli A world whose reputation spread far and wide, as he was a true genius of language in the fourth century AH. He is the Roman who became an Arab in his love for the Arabic language and his efforts to study its vast horizons. He is the revered morphologist, the local grammarian, the interpreter of language, and a bright face of the civilization of Iraq. Abu Tayeb Al-Mutanabbi said about him: “Ibn Jinni knows my poetry better than I do, and this is a man whose value is not known to many people.” As for his merit in Arabic, he was one of the most skilled people of literature and the most knowledgeable of them in the science of grammar and morphology. He wrote books on grammar and morphology in which he excelled, such as Al-Khasais, Al-Munsif, and Sirr Al-Sina’a (The Secret of the Art of Syntax). He wrote books on explaining rhymes, prosody, masculine and feminine, and other things. There was no one more perfect in any of his sciences than him in morphology, nor did anyone speak better or more precisely about it than him. As for his book Al-Khasais, it is one of the most important and famous books of Ibn Jinni in the principles of language, morphology and grammar. Perhaps what prompted him to attempt to establish these three sciences was his glorification and reverence for this language, which he boasted about to the non-Arabs, preferring it over their own language, saying: “If the non-Arabs felt the delicacy of the Arabs’ craftsmanship in this language, and what is in it of ambiguity and delicacy, they would apologize for their recognition of their language.” Al-Khasais is in three parts, edited by Professor Muhammad Ali Al-Najjar, as the book Al-Khasais is dominated by the character of investigation, diving into details, deepening analysis, and deducing principles and origins from details, according to the book’s editor. As for the reason for naming it Al-Khasais, we find in the introduction to the book Al-Khasais that he believes that his book is one of the most honorable books written in the science of the Arabs, and the most advanced in the path of analogy and contemplation, and the most comprehensive evidence for what This noble language has deposited in it the characteristics of wisdom and has been entrusted with the relationships of perfection and craftsmanship, and so on from his speech about the book, so it is considered one of the important Arabic sources; just as it is of interest to grammarians and linguists, it should be of interest to rhetoricians and literary figures. What the book contains is not limited to grammar, morphology, or the science of the origins of language and its jurisprudence only, but it goes beyond to being an inexhaustible source of the characteristics of the systems or rhetorical values ​​that Ibn Jinni – may God have mercy on him – revealed. This is evident in his useful discussions of the styles of classical Arabic from the poetry of the ancients and his contemporaries, and from their famous sayings to deduce grammatical and morphological causes, or to establish evidence for the validity of linguistic, grammatical, critical, or expressive issues, as he said in his book Al-Khasais: “This book is not based on a discussion of the aspects of grammar, but rather it is a place of speaking about the beginnings of the origins of this speech and how it began and to what end it was directed. It is a book in which those with insight from theologians, jurists, philosophers, grammarians, writers, and literary men contribute to contemplating it and searching for its repository, as it is necessary to address everyone… A person among them, with what he is accustomed to and is familiar with, so that he may have a share of it and a portion in it. So it is a book that addresses everyone who browses it with his specialization and what he has composed of theological, jurisprudential, philosophical, grammatical, or rhetorical arguments.

Under supervision by prof.

Envoys were sent to it, and the year in which the people of Yemen entered Islam differed. The second axis is that Yemen, during the era of the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates, was stable and did not witness any events. However, during the Umayyad Caliphate, it was characterized by the large number of governors, and often the governor did not last more than a few months and was dismissed. During the Abbasid Caliphate, Yemen was not stable due to its distance from the center of the Caliphate and the mountainous nature, so independent states were formed
