seminar the need in Arabic literature books

The center of heritage revival organizes seminar  ( the need in Arabic literature books )

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.
