Dawood in the center on Tuesday 18th/2/2025 , the lecture is presented by prof. Dr. Anas Esam Ismaiel and Dr. Leqaa Shaker Khattar who they talked about Manifestations of human trafficking in the past and present. In the past, human trafficking was represented by slavery and had its own laws and regulations. In the Middle Ages, it was widespread in Europe, exploiting poor countries. Recently, it has transformed into various forms, but it serves the same purpose, the difference being escaping legal and international sanctions. The researchers added that the seriousness of the crimes facing societies is the transgression of the law, which leads to a direct clash with customs, traditions, and societal norms in Iraq, as this crime is morally and religiously unacceptable. Iraqi society is conservative by nature and completely rejects any form of exploitation, whether through child trafficking, forced labor, or sexual exploitation. The researchers expressed the most important recommendations of the workshop, including spreading community awareness, supporting victims through social and psychological rehabilitation cells, tightening penalties, activating the role of security services to pursue human traffickers, and finally, combating poverty and unemployment. In conclusion, the director of the center thanked the lecturers, wishing them continued success in serving our university and our beloved Iraq.

The lecturer also added that discussing the tacit consensus and the difference between it and the verbal consensus, as to whether it is considered part of the consensus or not, confirming the emergence of consensus among the people of the era so that the people of the era know it and whether the intended emergence is by word or action or both, as the jurisprudential consensus was held at distant periods and a complete consensus rarely occurs due to the distance of time and place, while in the contemporary era of communication we need to renew the controls of consensus, as the possibility of communication between scholars is much easier, and it is incomparable to what happened in the past.

Under the supervision by prof. Dr. Alaa Nafea Jasim (the director of the center ) the center of heritage revival organizes seminar entitled ( the need in Arabic literature books) where sited on the gallery of Nabila A. Dawood in the center on Tuesday 4th/2/2025 , the lecture is presented by the Head of Manuscripts Department prof. Dr. Zainab Kamel Kareem defining the need as one of the important literary subjects Which urges good manners, deters from baseness, and encourages sound management and good judgment. Developmental psychology goes to the fact that need and want are necessary for the continuity of life, and because of the multiple motives that drive it, needs are multiple and gradual. Since need is a matter closely related to man, the Holy Quran must mention it and address it in noble verses. From our study of these verses, we find that the Quran divides human needs into material, psychological, and moral needs, and psychologists have agreed with the Holy Quran in this. The lecturer added that there are many hadiths in which we find the Messenger (peace be upon him ) urging a Muslim to fulfill the need of his Muslim brother, and other hadiths that show the benefits and virtues of the verses and surahs in fulfilling needs. Then we find that many books have been written on this topic, which is the topic of the virtues of the Qur’an, such as the book “The Virtues of the Qur’an” by Abu Ubaid al-Qasim bin Salam al-Harawi, who died in 224 AH, who addressed many topics in fulfilling needs and achieving demands.
