This article seeks to explore the ethical dimension of the concept of Raḥmatan lil ‘Ālamīn (mercy for all creatures). It aims at the analysis of this concept through the history of Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.)’s life. The significance of this study lays on the application of this concept in contemporary context. This research starts with a b

Instead of dismissing traditional mythology and poetry as heresies, Greek philosophy introduced a methodology of understanding known as allegory. Philo of Alexandria (20 BC–50 AD) was one of the first to employ allegory for understanding religious scriptures whose writings survived in the Christian traditions. In the Arab world, the philosopher I

Tumor cells with tumorigenic potential might be limited to a small population of cells, called cancer-initiating cells (CICs). CICs efficiently form colonies in vitro, yield both CIC and non-CIC populations, maintain reactive oxygen species (ROS) at low levels, show high aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity, and are mostly in a quiescent state of

Star-shaped polymers have vast potential in bioapplication due to their architecture. In this study, the suitability of ring opening polymerization (ROP) technique to synthesis star-shaped poly(caprolactone) and the thermal properties of the synthesized star-shaped polymers were demonstrated. The 4 -arm star-shaped of poly(caprolactone) (4s PCL) wi

Heavy metal pollution has become a serious public health and environmental concern. Lead (Pb) is one of the heavy metals known to bioaccumulate in plants. Phytoremediation is an emerging technology based on the ability of green plants to remove Pb from the environment in a cost-efficient and ecologically sound manner. Currently, an important resear

Material handling is one of major components in Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Any improvement of material handling capability is to affect the performance of the whole system. This paper discusses the simulation study on the effect of part arrival rate and dispatching rules to the average waiting time and production rate of the FMS. The faci
