Social responsibility of organizations is called to a group of activities carried out voluntarily by capital owners and economic corporations as an efficient and useful member in the society. In fact, it includes a group of tasks and commitments that should be undertaken by the organization to keep and protect and help for a society in which it acts. In addition, commitment to religious elements is one of the factors that affect way of interaction among individuals in occupational and social groups. Therefore, the present study has been conducted in order to analyze role of religious commitment in social responsibility. For this purpose, 1,500 employees from 55 organizations (including production and servicing sectors such as bank, insurance and education) were selected as the studied population. The needed data were collected, using standard questionnaires and analyzed by the statistical software. Data analysis showed that religious commitment might have positive and significant impact on improvement of social responsibility in the studied organizations. Hence, given the results of this study, directors of organizations may be benefitted from the positive effects by improving religious commitment elements in individuals. The positive outcomes of religious commitment and strengthening social responsibility not only affect improving organizational reputation in the society, but also will eventually be led to attraction of extra-organizational investors and satisfaction of employees in the given organization. Thus, it is expedient to pay due attention to this factor. اا

(the Charter of Medina). More specifically, it aims at reading the Charter under the light of today’s call, in order to draw a notion of “political inclusion” (of religious minorities) in harmony not only with the early Islamic tradition but also with these recent attempts of interreligious dialogue. For this reason, the paper, firstly, tries to highlight the religious and political meanings of the Charter for Muḥammad and his contemporaries; besides it aims demonstrating that under Islamic law agreements between different religious groups are morally and religiously valuable, and, thus to strive for concluding them is beneficial for the entire community; lastly, the paper tries to extract from the Charter some legal principles regulating relationships between the ummah and minority groups, so to draw a new interpretation suitable for the contemporary and globalized Muslim society. 1

A. Nizami Centre for Quranic Studies, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India Journal Article 2023 02 19 The present paper identifies the ideological presuppositions and doctrinal interpolations in the select English translations of the Quran. Out of the total 150 complete English translations, the most influential are the ones produced by the Orientalists. These dominated the field until 1930s before the appearance of the English translations by Muslim scholars. Apart from being unfaithful to the original Arabic text of the Quran, the Orientalist versions seek to discredit Islam and the Quran. Instances in point are the translations by Ross (1649) Sale (1734), Rodwell (1861) Bell (1937-39), Alan Jones (2007) and A. G. Droge (2014) N. J. Dawood, an Iraqi Jew’s translation (1955) too, casts aspersions on things Islamic. Far from letting readers learn what the Quran is, these Orientalist forays aim at driving them away from the Quran by projecting a repulsive view of the Quran 1

Using the interpretation, which is adapted by those most stepped in the spiritual tradition of Islam, i.e., Sufism, does not mean that it denies the importance of the other exegetical genres—linguistic, legal, philosophical or theological; each has its place in the overall matrix of interpretation and application. But today we are more urgently in need of a return to the spiritual source of Islam than ever before; thus, special attention should be paid to mystical, spiritual and metaphysical dimensions of the revelation, and to those authorities within the tradition who probe and disclose the depths of meaning within the Scripture. Ibn al-‘Arabī is acclaimed to be one of the greatest Sufi masters of all the time. With respect to scriptural hermeneutics, he appears to be convinced in the infinite potential for meaning inherent in the nature of divine revelation, especially in the form of sacred scripture. Such an understanding of the nature of scripture can be invaluable in dialogue to create a peaceful coexistence because it demands that the person of faith not only take a stance of conviction within the teachings of his or her sacred texts, but also that they realize that this conviction—however deep it may be—does not restrict or exhaust in any way the potential meaning of these texts. -

In the religious tradition, we can outline a specific structure of anthropology in terms of spiritual wayfaring. The reality of the heart which is the celestial identity of the human being, extends from its divine facet down to its bodily facet, and consists of the psychical and the spiritual regions. Each of these in turn possesses two kinds of soldiers known as characteristic soldiers and two kinds of strata which are levels of the soul. The psychical region is the lower region of the reality of the heart, wherein sensory and psychical inclinations are dominant. It is inhabited by the soldiers of ignorance (junūd al-jahl) and the two strata of the nature (al-ṭabʿ) and the lower-self (al-nafs) or the vegetative and the animal souls respectively. The spiritual region, on the other hand, which is the higher region of the reality of the heart and is directly connected to the Infinite God inhabits the soldiers of intellect (junūd al-ʿaql) and the two strata of the spirit (rūḥ) and the secret (sirr) or the sanctified and the divine souls respectively. -

Dealing with the accounts of pre Islamic peoples and prophets, this type of literature encompasses both Islamic and pre-Islamic accounts and incidents. As they contain significant notions and the types of human experience whose lessons and wisdom can prove significant for almost everybody, they qualify as world classics. Derived mainly from the Quran, and as the Quran is the intact Divine Word, the Quranic versions of the accounts and parables can be regarded as the very urtexts and the most reliable versions. As such, they can benefit researchers and inquirers who are followers of other, mainly Abrahamic, religions. -
