    Zaabalawi by Nagiub Mahfouz is a classic story that has a very heavy lean toward religion and social studies.

His search invites outside acquaintances who he hopes may be able to tell him where he can find Zaabalawi.

    To begin with, the initial stage is the ordinary world. The hero, uneasy and uncomfortable, is introduced to the audience with a dilemma; some of the hero’s personal history is presented. At the start of The Odyssey, Odysseus is introduced sympathetically. The setting reveals that he has not come back home for ten years after the Trojan War. His son, Telemachus, has grown up, and his wife, Penelope, has a mob of suitors courting her. By now, they have lost hope and convinced themselves that Odysseus is dead. This example proves the first stage because Odysseus is announced along with his predicament.…

    In Sunni Islamic jurisprudence, the qiyas (Arabic قياس) is the process of analogical reasoning in which the teachings of the Hadith are compared and contrasted with those of the Quran, i.e., in order to make an analogy with a known injunction (nass) to a new injunction. As a result of this method, the ruling of the Sunnah and the Qur'an may be used as a means to solve or provide a response to a new problem that may arise. This, however, is only the case providing that the set precedent or paradigm and the new problem that has come about will share operative causes (illah)[1]. The illah is the specific set of circumstances that trigger a certain law into action. Both Sunni Islam and Shi'a Islam share Qur'anic interpretation, the Sunnah, and Ijma' (consensus) as sources of Islamic law, although the two sects differ significantly with regards to the manner in which they use these sources. The sects also differ on the fourth source. Sunni Islam uses qiyas as the fourth source, whereas Shi'a Islam uses 'aql (intellect). Other methods of deducing the law, such as mafhm al-nass (the clear implication of the text), tamthil (similarity or likeness), istihsan (juristic preference), or istislah (consideration of public interest), either explicitly rely on qiyas or use methods of analysis that are similar in their understanding of qiyaas.…

    parental love is depicted as being extremely strong in both Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Jon Stallworthy’s poem The Almond Tree. In the play, Prospero assures his daughter that he has "done nothing but in care of thee": her well-being is his entire motivation for all his actions in the play, including summoning the violent storm at the beginning of the play. He acts as a parent of various types and in various ways in The Tempest, to Miranda, to Caliban and to Ariel. It is only to Miranda that Prospero is a true father, however, and even she is subject to his discipline and plots, as he tries to see if Ferdinand is a good enough husband for her. In Stallworthy’s The Almond Tree a child is born, but the poem conveys the strength of love that is so strong that upon learning of his son’s Downs Syndrome, it became his "first death". The emotion is so strong that the poem describes an out of body experience, as he "wrestled against gravity".…
