This study aims to highlight the importance of addressing psychological disorders that affect a Muslim's life in both academic and practical domains by exploring their causes and solutions derived from Quranic texts. The study focuses on analyzing these disorders and offering solutions based on the interpretation provided in "Rasail Al-Noor" by Sheikh Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, emphasizing the role of faith in Allah as a fundamental factor in enhancing mental health and addressing these disorders. The study points out that faith in Allah provides tranquility and hope, contributing to reflection and contemplation, which enhances self-understanding and helps in overcoming psychological stress. The research employed an inductive method to examine details related to the topic within Nursi's writings to arrive at general principles regarding the handling and treatment of psychological disorders. Additionally, it utilized an analytical approach to discuss, evaluate, and classify the collected information to derive specific conclusions about psychological disorders. The study yielded significant findings, including that psychological disorders are conditions affecting thought, feeling, emotion, and behavior, which impede functional and social performance. It also revealed that Nursi emphasized the role of positive social relationships and the revival of cooperation and mutual assistance as crucial for improving mental health and reducing feelings of loneliness. Moreover, the study, relying on Nursi's works, underscored the necessity of employing prayer and remembrance of Allah as an effective means to alleviate psychological stress, as it allows individuals to express their feelings and aspirations and seek divine assistance, thereby contributing to the development of a psychologically healthy and balanced community.

This research aims to study three main issues: First, to define the concept of the variation of expressions, its purpose, and outline its types. Second, to clarify the concept of contemplation (Tafakkur), review its examples, significance, fields, and objectives. Third, to analyse the areas of the variation of expressions in the verses of contemplation and highlight its impact on educating oneself. The significance of the study is found in reviving the term variation in the Quran and highlighting its eloquence, which opens new horizons for contemplating the Quran and understanding its meanings more deeply. Thus, it positively affects individuals, strengthens social cohesion, and deepens the connection with the Quran. This study was conducted using two methodologies: the inductive and analytical methods. The inductive method involved gathering materials related to the variation of expressions and collecting texts that deal with the concept of contemplation in the Quran. The analytical method was employed to study the collected information regarding the variation of expressions in the contemplation verses, analyse the variation aspects of these verses, and identify outcomes that help Muslims in self-education. The research reached several conclusions, including the understanding of variation in the Quran, which encompasses clarification, explanation, repetition, variety, and diversification. Its objectives include enhancing understanding, remembrance, devotion, and repentance. 2. The importance of contemplation lies in God’s honouring of humankind above all other creations, where contemplation is considered the light of faith and one of the best deeds. It is the cornerstone of building and advancing civilisation. 3. Understanding the various elements in the contemplation verses helps nurture preachers following a practical method for calling others to God. Through comprehending these elements in the Quran, multiple strategies can be developed to enhance the effectiveness of da’wah (inviting others to Islam). The study concluded with several recommendations.

The research addresses an important issue in the Islamic world regarding the misconceptions surrounding the financial rights of women mentioned in the Quran. Its aim is to present an in-depth scientific study to clarify these rights and refute the related misconceptions by explaining the linguistic and terminological meaning of these misconceptions to convey a broader understanding. The study also highlights how the Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم, his companions, and the followers dealt with these misconceptions and responded to them, as well as the preventive measures taken. In addition, the research explores the financial rights of women in the Quran, such as inheritance, alimony, dowry, gifts, bequests, and independent personal ownership, with an explanation of the key concepts, and the nature of each right. It then tracks the misconceptions surrounding these rights, whether from contemporary or historical thought. The research presents evidentiary and rational arguments to refute these misconceptions and trace their origins. The research also seeks to clarify the reasons for granting certain rights to women specifically, and the purpose behind this designation, by exploring Quranic exegesis and the Prophet’s biography. It sheds light on the status of women in contemporary Islamic societies, explaining how the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions treated women and ensured their rights. The research aims to enhance understanding of the position of women in Islam, providing clarifications based on Sharia evidence and scientific research. The researcher employed the inductive method by examining scholars' opinions from exegesis, linguistic, and jurisprudential works, based on their original sources. He also utilized the analytical method to respond to the misconceptions by analyzing the statements and concepts reached. Finally, the comparative method was used to compare the views of scholars on specific issues and between Islamic and other religious teachings regarding the establishment of women's rights and their treatment. The researcher concluded that misconceptions will not fade as long as ignorance of the true teachings of the religion persists, along with the failure to apply them. Many attempt to obscure these teachings because they conflict with personal desires and whims. These misconceptions stem from a misunderstanding of the Quranic verses, their teachings, and objectives. Additionally, the researcher found that the status and importance of women in Islamic law are immense, as Allah has given them special rights and significant attention.
