Question: Asharq Al-Awsat published on its website on 4 August 2026: “The Iraqi government finds itself facing a highly sensitive equation, experiencing political and security paralysis between Washington's demands to disarm the factions and the deeply entrenched Iranian influence within Iraqi political, security, and economic institutions. The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) had announced on 29/7/2026, that at least 20 PMF members were killed and 32 others wounded in attacks launched by American and Saudi fighter jets targeting official PMF headquarters in several Iraqi provinces.” (Asharq Al-Awsat, 4/8/2026). “The United States and Saudi Arabia had launched a joint attack on what they claimed were sites belonging to Iranian-backed militias in Iraq.” (Al-Hurra, 31/7/2026). This was carried out after Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi returned from an official visit to the United States! What is behind all of the above at this particular time? Has America's grip on Iraq tightened even further?

Q&A: The Concept of Good (Hasana) and Evil (Saiy’a) in Verses 78 and 79 of Surah An-Nisa
The first verse was revealed concerning the Jews and the hypocrites, because when the Messenger of Allah (saw) arrived in Medina, they said: “We have been experiencing a decrease in our fruits and crops ever since this man and his companions came to us.” They attributed the decrease and drought, calling it evil (saiyi’a), to the Messenger (saw)..
Q&A: Conditions of the Party’s Idea (Fikra): “Crystallization, Purity, and Clarity”
A crystal takes on a specific shape, making it distinguishable from others. In the case of thought, crystallization means clarifying and defining its features, so that the intended thought acquires a clear form that separates and distinguishes it from others, preventing it from remaining merely a vague, emotional call. For example, stating that revival is intellectual advancement is a crystallization of the idea of revival, which in the minds of many people takes on a fluid, undefined form. Similarly, defining the mind as the transmission of sensations of reality to the brain, along with prior information used to interpret this reality, is a crystallization of the meaning of the mind, which was fluid in the perception of many.

Introduction to Social System
Many people go beyond the meaning of the term "social system" and apply it to all systems of life. This is an erroneous usage; given that the systems of life are better expressed as the "systems of society" because that is what they are; they organise the relationships that arise between the people living in a particular society, regardless of whether they meet or not. It is not the meeting of people but the relationships ('alaqaat) which should be taken into consideration. Consequently, these relationships will be diverse and different. They would include economics, ruling, politics, education, penal code ('uqubaat), societal transactions (mu'amalaat) and the rules of (testimonial) evidences (bayyinaat) etc..
