Abstract Abstract
Magic is literally anything or any work whose source is secret and hidden, but in laymen’s term, it is often referred to the fantastic works done by various means. Magic is learnable and its origins is of the devil, so those who use magic are associated with demons. According to God’s emphasis in the Quran, it can be concluded that some of the branches of magic is real. Islam, however, strongly discourages going into these matters and using them, as is the case with Judaism in which magic is also considerably forbidden, although Jewish people have committed this sin greatly. Of course, learning magic is not forbidden on its own and requires its own individuals (because, otherwise, it would lead to personal and social or even family problems). In this study, after reviewing the literal meaning of the term magic and the words associated with it, magic is studied from the viewpoints of of Islam and Judaism. Also, it has been tried to study the expression of its subsidiaries, and distinguish examples of actual cases from false recognitions and review the rulings of Islam and the Bible around this issue.

Abstract An indisputable element in the destiny of humans is the law of heredity. Spiritual and ethical features, similar to physical features, are transferred, through hereditary elements (genes), from parents to children. Some people accept the exclusive role of heredity in determining the destiny of humans but from the viewpoint of some others, the law of heredity is only a basis and is effective in a person’s actions as a requirement and not as definite causality. As a result, it can be strengthened or weakened under the effect of environmental factors, especially upbringing methods; moreover, the humans’ willpower has a considerable role in their prosperity and adversity. It has been tried, in this research to review the place of heredity in the destiny of humans from the viewpoints of the science of genetics, the Quran and the narrations, and the result is that the element of heredity is not dominant on humans’ destiny and does not have an exclusive role in determining it. As a result, people with any type of heredity can be nurtured and are required [to obey the laws of religion], and one of the aims of the prophets is to reinforce desirable hereditary resources and modify disagreeable hereditary bases.

Abstract Much of our behavior derives from various types of motivation. Subconscious motivation is an internal factor that underlies some of human behavior. The present study aims to investigate how the subconscious internalization of behavior can affect a person’s ideological orientation. From a theological perspective, in the first step, the researchers study environmental interactions and their effect on the formation of the subconscious. Then, the effects of the family, as the most basic environment affecting the subconscious, reference groups, and the mass media are taken into consideration. In the second step, the researchers address identity development by emphasizing three pivotal forms of identity – familial, gender, and ideological – as deriving from the subconscious. Then, in pursuance of the first two steps, examples of ideological approaches are given from the Qur'an. Finally, the researchers propose strategies for controlling the healthy identity formation of children.

How to Fight the Inciting Nafs (Nafs al-ʾAmmārah) Based on the Holy Qur’an’s Instructions

Volume 4, Issue 12, Autumn 2013, Pages 119-148

https://doi.org/10.22054/ajsm.2014.20

Abstract Human beings, as they are moving toward Allah, are in a constant fight with the Inciting Nafs, which incites to evil. The current study was designed in a descriptive-analytic manner and it was aimed to identify Quranic Instructions on how to fight the Inciting Nafs, which has been done by studying Holy verses and employing semiology. According to Holy Qur’an, there exist three sets of skills to fight the Inciting Nafs, namely cognitive skills (raising awareness towards Akhirah (the Hereafter) and the outcomes of following the Inciting Nafs and also realizing the presence of Allah in every second of our lives), behavioral skills (being responsive to instructions, demonstrating purposeful obedience and delimiting what we see) and spiritual skills (faith, connectedness, piety and forbearance). It was concluded that to fight the Inciting Nafs, human beings have to follow Quranic Instructions and in this way, they will reach the ultimate happiness, desired in their fitrah. Otherwise, they will be as vile as the animals, since they have followed the evils of the Inciting Nafs.

Abstract Today, the production and distribution tools have been developed leading to complicated economic relations. Every country tries to improve its economic position restricting the economic sphere against its rivals, the importance of which will be realized when the impact of economy on politics and culture is reviewed. In the present world community, any country whose economy is weak is forced in some cases to undergo the political and cultural attacks of the owners of economy. In this case, the countries suffering from a weak economy should embark on the two basic tasks: reinforcement of production and fortification of the structures of economy, and resistance against the political-cultural pressures imposed by the rivals in order to preserve its identity. Our aim is to reconsider the ways we can   employ the factors that the Quran offers to the society in order to have a prosperous economy and to form the modern Islamic civilization and practically use them. Therefore, we try through this essay to present some solutions of the Quran and traditions to overcome the economic difficulties of the society.
