        1 - Identification and Classification of Albarello Pottery Wares in the Muslim World: An Introduction
        Sayed Hashem Hossini Hossein Sapidnameh

        One of the most common forms of pottery in the Islamic world is the so-called “Albarello” potteries which offer a huge variety in terms of decoration and techniques. It seems there is no specific study on the form, preparation technique, and decoration of this pottery form so far. This research aimed to investigate and identify this pottery form and its decoration properties in Muslim world from Iran to the north of Africa. Based on the study performed, Albarello potteries can be classified under two groups: the potteries with a cylindrical and slightly concave (vase-shaped) body and those with a convex body. Cylindrical concave potteries are utilized for keeping dry drugs such as spices and ointment, and convex potteries are used for storing liquid drugs. The production of these potteries has been widespread in Iran since the 4th century AH. The expansion of pottery techniques in the middle of Seljuqs dynasty has had a direct relationship with the mass production of these potteries (Luster pottery) in Iran and western regions of the Islamic world such as Syria, Egypt, and Spain.

        The main objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between media literacy and awareness of the social network damages of Regional Information Center of Science and Technology (RICeST) and Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC). Due to the nature of the study descriptive- correlation survey method has been used. For data collection two researcher made questionnaire has been used. The populations of the study indicate all staffs of RICeST and ISC including 160 persons that based on simple random sampling and with use of Krejcie and Morgan table, 113 persons were selected as the sample population. Results showed that the media literacy skills of respondents has been higher than average. There is a positive and significant relationship between media literacy skills and their use of social networks. Also there is a positive and significant relationship between staff’s media literacy and their awareness of the social network damages (cultural, social, family and mental-individual). In today's digital and informational world, the ability of people to have access to new skills and new literacies, such as media literacy, is of particular importance. They need to learn these skills so that they can use the appropriate criteria to evaluate social networks and the news and information contained therein, and use accurate and effective information for their decisions.

        5 - An Identity-Centered Approach to Russia’s Balanced Policy toward Islamic Countries in the Middle East: A Case Study of Iran and Saudi Arabia (2011-2020)

        The purpose of the present research is to study effective criteria on Russia’s policy towards Islamic countries in the Middle East after Arab revolutions. In this regard, the main research question of the current study is: what factors have led Russia to adopt a balanced policy towards Islamic countries in the Middle East during 2011-2020? Moreover, the research relies on the hypothesis that during that the above time period, Russia, on the one hand, assisted Shi’ite groups led by Iran to fight against excommunication (Takfiri) terrorism, and on the other hand, expanded its relations with Sunni Muslim countries in order to prevent stimulation of religious fundamentalism in its Muslim republics. The current study which was conducted by a descriptive analytic method in the theoretical framework of constructivism, presents a rather distinctive analysis of the essence of Russia’s relations with middle eastern Islamic countries after Arab revolutions. The results indicate that since Arabic revolutions in 2011 and formation of new groups in the regional and international level in the Middle East, especially the Syrian crisis that initiated a new stage in Russia’s relations with the Islamic world, Moscow has attempted to adopt a balanced policy towards Islamic countries in the Middle East to remove the danger of Islamic extremism, avoid tension with those countries and reinforce relationship with them. Therefore, it is expected that Russia highlights the role of Islam in its foreign policy and that Russian politicians show more interest in constructive collaboration with middle eastern Islamic countries.

        The present research aims to investigate the categorizations plan of political thoughts in the Islamic world based on the proportion and position of “religion” in “modern government” as a basis for classifying the new thoughts in the Islamic world. The categorizations include the ratio of Sharia to rule in the government, the validation of political wisdom and legacy integration. A descriptive-analytical research method is applied. The results show that “religious minimalists” consider the minimal role for religion and religious traditions for the government and take the modern religion and government as a barrier to aggregate and give the priority to the government to manage these world's affairs. “Religious maximalists” consider widely proportion for religion and divine traditions in the government and they don't separate current and second world that manage them by two distinct institutions.

        The beauty issue has been incorporated into the foundation of all human beings, so the recognition of beauty and the pursuit of beauty is rooted in our soul, and in fact, man needs to be in relation to beauty. Therefore, without the beauty of the soul, it remains in the darkness and the violence of matter and in the domination of the quantities, the work of beauty with humanity is in fact attracting his attention. He is refreshed and meaningful in order to break down from quantity and to deal with qualities until his life. And in fact, the relationship between truth and meaning with beauty is explained in this way, because beauty is an expression of perfection or truth. In this article, we try to use the analytical and descriptive method and library studies to define the truth and beauty and the relation between two of the views of Islamic thinkers. Finally, the expression of these concepts and, in fact, the manifestation of content and truth in the body of Islamic architecture Check in. It is also possible to achieve perfection with care in a beautiful work, in addition to the fact that the sensation of human aesthetic is saturated. This is evident in the architecture of the Islamic era despite the long years of their creation due to the deep link between the artist and the eternal meanings and facts. Therefore, as far as the relationship between the three concepts (truth, beauty and art) goes further and deeper, a better and more useful understanding of beauty and perfection will arise, making the human a beautiful and humane art, as well as the ability to create works Beautiful and perfectionist, containing absolute truth.

        8 - "Sovereignty Gap" in the Islamic Republic of Iran and its reflection in its regional policies

        The governance gap is one of the most important political damages that can occur in a political system. These gaps arise due to the lack of a general agreement on the sources of power and how to distribute it, and arise from the inability of the political elites to provide a correct understanding of these issues. Therefore, when a military is faced with this injury, it suffers major problems in various fields, both domestic and foreign. In the Islamic Republic, in spite of the over-discourse of the Islamic Revolution for relatively long years, there has been no consensus among the political elites in various fields or it has been very weak, and this has led to the creation of various sub-discourses. These sub-discourses in conflict with each other have blocked the way to the correct policy making and have caused confusion in domestic and foreign policies. The present article, with the discourse method, while referring to these sub-discourses, seeks to understand the results of this governance gap in Iran's policies in the region and the Islamic world with the hypothesis that: "The governance gap in the Islamic Republic of Iran causes a decrease in the influence of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the region and This issue weakens the position of aligned Islamic countries and strengthens competitors."

        Salafism and neo-Salafism as a historical phenomenon in the Islamic world, in the last three decades, with the formation and intensification of the activities of Salafist groups, has become more prominent. This article tries to address the main question, what are the roots and historical contexts of the formation and growth of Salafism and its reflection in the Islamic world, especially in the recent crises in West Asia? The hypothesis of this research, by using a descriptive-analytical method, show that the rise and spread of Salafism is the product of a multidimensional and deep phenomenon of identity and politics as a subjective construct that is in dialectic with the objective realities of Islamic states and the interventions of the great powers has added to its complexity and breadth and fueled the differences and divergences among Islamic religions and states, especially in the last two decades in West Asia.

        Ever since the Prophet's mission and the presentation of Islam to humanity, the Qur'an and the infallibles have always emphasized the necessity of achieving convergence between Muslims, and reformers emphasized on its realization from the very beginning of Islam. The necessity of convergence is due to the fact that, unfortunately, harm has been caused to convergence and that is; According to the reasons that have a much lower strength and jurisprudential identity compared to the reasons for convergence, people beat the barrel of divergence. The main question of the current research is what are the jurisprudential foundations of Muslim convergence. The present article tries to comprehensively explain the issue of convergence and its necessity by using the descriptive-analytical method and by collecting information in a library and by referring to the books and articles written in this field. The results of the research show that in the discussion of convergence, reference to the book (Qur'an), Sunnah and the use of the consensus of the discoverer of the Sunnah and finally, reference to reason and the use of independent and non-independent intellectuals are pervasive and inevitable.

        Abstract Turkey is having an important geographical and political position in the Middle East and has great influence on political developments of this region. Since coming into power of Justice and Development Party (AKP) Turkey has tried to have a more important place in the political development of the Middle East. Turkey by having a legacy of last Islamic Empire has tried to revive its influence in the Islamic World. In this direction in recent years Turkey has introduced herself as a successful political and economic model to the Islamic World and the Middle Eastern countries. The initial years of success in democracy, economic development, political stability and playing the role of a mediator in regional conflicts had been index of Turkey's model but in later stage successive failure occurred. The internal problems that Turkey is facing along with regional and international problems in political and economic fields showed that the Turkish model does not have the former attraction and in practice has failed.

        Abstract: The present article tries to describe the internal and external challenges to the unity of Islamic world. In this direction the existing processes in the Islamic world have been explained to find out whether the present situation is an integration or disintegration. The present research by taking into consideration the realities of international system and the existing process in the Islamic world, wants to know whether the unity of Islamic world is possible in future? The finding of the study indicates that by examining the existing situation in the Islamic world one comes to the conclusion that  due to contradiction of the Islamic states, in short term we cannot witness the unity of Muslims. For solving this problem, first a plan of Islamic world unity should be prepared and this plan should initially bring about a consensus among the governmental and intellectual elite. Then practical measures and common programs should substitute hostility and contain extremism. Manuscript profile

        The history of Moslems’ contribution to the science of geography is part of the intellectual renaissance which represents the advent of the Islamic Civilization. The rising and development of this civilization was in close conjunction with the emergence of a new scientific vitality which made the intellectuality conspicuously superior to power so that the science of geography and geographers of the Islamic world became influential in all over the world up to 15th century A.D. In view of the status of the Islamic world today and having the goal of providing applied geographical data, on regional and national grounds in mind, the following endeavors deem necessary: envisaging the developed Islamic world and explicating scientific development approaches and strategies;  reestablishing the Moslem geographers’ position in congruent with the new  era conditions;  originating knowledge at global level, developing geographical information technology;  and meeting the demanding situation of founding Islamic World Geographical Union (I.W.G.U).The establishment of the union will set the ground for the geographical associations , organizations and universities of the Islamic world to join their forces to develop the science of geography, through optimal and appropriate planning in intra-civilization uniformity  to the world’s changing circumstances while focusing on its applied aspects within a framework of Moslem Community to ultimately develop the Islamic world .  Manuscript profile

        Purpose: The present research investigates and compares the use of Persian scientific journals indexed in ISC in the scientific production of the mother universities researchers of Iran during 2001 to 2010. Methodology: This is an applied research which uses citation analysis and descriptive documentary methods. The mother universities’ total number of scientific production in ISC has been 37988 documents during the given period. The Cochran formula was used for determination of the sample size. Based on this formula, the sample size of each university wan independently calculated. Then, the stratified sampling was used and the number of samples was determined by the ratio of documents in each university and each year. Consequently, the sample size of 2424 documents was obtained and the systematic random method was used to select the documents Data. Findings: Results indicated that 75.5% of the researchers had used ISC Persian scientific journals in their researches during 2001 to 2010. Isfahan University of Technology with 90.3% ranks first in this regard. Amir Kabir University of Technology (83.3%), Shahid Beheshti University (77.8%), Shiraz University (77.6%), Sharif University of Technology (75.3%), University of Tehran (77.1%), Tarbiat Modarres University (70%) and Iran University of Science and Technology (53.3%) have used ISC journals respectively. Conclusion: Findings of this research indicate that researchers often cite journals which are indexed in the citation databases. Moreover, the results of this study show that from all cited journals 57.9% are printed/electronic journals and 42.1% are printed journals. Therefore, it seems that the open access e-journals receive more citations from the users. Manuscript profile

        < p >The topic of Turkish-Israeli relations is considered as one of the important issues in the regional, Middle East and Islamic world studies. The Republic of Turkey was the first country among the Islamic countries in the Middle East that has recognized the Zionist regime as a country and has established diplomatic relations with it in 1949. Relations between the two countries have a strategic nature based on the security needs of both sides. These relations have continued despite the political changes in Turkey and the emergence of the AKP, a party of an Islamic nature and policy.Israeli officials from every party, including Benjamin Netanyahu''s far-right Likud party, have pursued the policy of maintaining ties with Turkey. The military-security cooperation agreement between the two countries has been in force since 1996 and has not been repealed.Our major question is structured on the convergence and divergence factors, which have shaped the nature of Turkish-Israeli relations during the two last decades (2000-2019).Based on the theory of regional security complex, the framework of Turkish-Israeli relations has been analyzed. The descriptive-analytical model has been opted as the research method. Our analysis is relied on the documents, comments and reports of the experts.The concluding remarks state that in the current situation, Turkey and Israel continue their policy of alliance and co-operation, although this alliance is not sufficiently coherent and both sides use their leverages to force the other party to co-operate in certain circumstances.

        Following the Arab revolutions of 2011 and the formation of new arrangements in the political and security equations of the Middle East, Russia tried to pursue a balanced policy towards Islamic countries while avoiding tensions with them. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting Russia's foreign policy towards the Islamic world after the Arab revolutions of 2011 and to answer the question: What are the main components of Russia's foreign policy towards the Islamic world, especially in relation to Countries of the Middle East region? The main hypothesis that has been tested is Russia's foreign policy towards the Islamic world, especially after the Arab revolutions in the Middle East, to fight religious fundamentalism, to avoid entering the Shiite-Sunni religious divide, and to try to improve Russia's image. Among Sunni Islamic societies, religion has taken root. In the present paper, a descriptive-analytical method and in the form of a theoretical framework of constructivism, a relatively different analysis of the nature of Russia's relations with the Islamic world in the period after the Arab revolutions in 2011-2020 was presented.

          The crisis in the Islamic world has several aspects and would be analyzed as the origin of the sectarianism. Somehow, the sectarianism either active or inactive was considered to be the most significant crisis in the Muslim world. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the origin of the activation of sectarianism at the strategic level. Thus, the international political order requires the activation of the sectarianism in order to achieve their goals. This research is applied and analytical-explanatory type. The note-taking and questionnaire method used for collecting the information and quantitative and qualitative used to analyze this information and is based on the theoretical framework of the clash of civilizations and the Likert scale. The theoretical findings of this research are that domestic, regional, and international phenomena can be manipulated and managed, and applied results also suggest that the Islamic world should be divided and distributed according to the political power of countries depending on the social structure of countries, which seems to be the explicit solution, In order to eliminate this complication.

        Ever since the Prophet's mission and the presentation of Islam to humanity, the Qur'an and the infallibles have always emphasized the necessity of achieving convergence between Muslims, and reformers emphasized on its realization from the very beginning of Islam. The necessity of convergence is due to the fact that, unfortunately, harm has been caused to convergence and that is; According to the reasons that have a much lower strength and jurisprudential identity compared to the reasons for convergence, people beat the barrel of divergence. The main question of the current research is what are the jurisprudential foundations of Muslim convergence. The present article tries to comprehensively explain the issue of convergence and its necessity by using the descriptive-analytical method and by collecting information in a library and by referring to the books and articles written in this field. The results of the research show that in the discussion of convergence, reference to the book (Qur'an), Sunnah and the use of the consensus of the discoverer of the Sunnah and finally, reference to reason and the use of independent and non-independent intellectuals are pervasive and inevitable.
