The article aims to study the public decency regulation of Saudi Arabia. As we know, Saudi society has already provided a mechanism to regulate the social order or good manners by religious precepts. It seems that the main reason for the enactment of this regulation is to be a measure to avoid harming traditions, emotions, and customs. The enactment of the public decency regulation of the Saudi Arabia adopts only fine system in terms of edification rather than punishment for criminals and imposes the highest fines for indecent behavior, which can be seen as an effort to protect areas related to the performance due to the influx of foreign culture. Originally in Islam, the act of destroying public order or public morals was a personal act, and the judge was able to judge according to his own conscience ( تعزير , Ta’zīr). Along with the implementation of this regulation, Saudi society is now expected to change flexibly from a rigid atmosphere by placing the public sector in the realm of misdemeanors.

The purpose of this paper is to study of Maltese phonology as an Arabic (a Semitic language) offshoot language. Maltese is descent from Siculo-Arabic which is a kind of Maghribi Arabic. Chapter II introduces a general overview of the history of Malta before and after the Arab invasion. Malta has a long history more than 8000 years. Nevertheless the Arab period is very short (870-1090). Chapter III explains the Maltese orthography which is written in Roman alphabet to find out its narrow transcription. Chapter IV examines the phonemes of Maltese in aspects of vowels, consonants and syllable structure, in which the followings are found : Maltese has various vowels and diphthongs totaling 21 phonemes which are very common in Romance languages and English, but Arabic, 8 phonemes. Maltese, which has 22 consonants, lost emphatic and guttural consonants which are distinctive feature in Arabic, which has 28 consonants, but has p, v, ċ[t∫], z[ts] not found in Arabic. Maltese has (C)(C)(C)V(C)(C) in syllable structure, while Arabic, CV(C)(C). In conclusion, this study shows that the Maltese is an offshoot language from Arabic, but it was heavily influenced by Romance languages such as Italian and Sicilian, and nowadays by English.

This research sheds light on the phenomenon of derivation in Arabic morphology and discusses the opinions put forward by grammarians and linguists concerning its origin. The phenomenon has long been a subject of dispute. The research discusses the existing view on the origin and branch and proves that such view is incorrect. According to this research, the linguistic reality supports the claim that neither the verbal noun nor the verb is the origin of the derivatives. The research also displays various types of derivation in Arabic and explains the value each type has in enriching Arabic by providing the vocabulary and linguistic elements required to keep up with the times and adapt accordingly. The research concludes that derivatives originate from linguistic elements and the three consonants. The consonants themselves are meaningless but combining a tense gives them a specific meaning.

The topic aims to present the grammatical views and analysis of Ibn Madaa with regards to the grammarians of Kufa and Basra as well as his response to them, in addition to the justification and defense of his views. Ibn Madaa determined that it was necessary to remove any chapters on grammar that were deemed unbeneficial, therefore eliminating anything that doesn’t benefit pronunciation or speech. Accordingly, he encouraged the simplification of grammar wherever possible and the removal from academic discourse that which doesn’t aid speech. Among such topics include the difference of opinion in the reasons for classifying subjects and objects, in addition to other areas of disagreement. He therefore advocated that there’s no need to pursue research in areas where grammarians disagree with one another, as that which doesn’t benefit speech has no value or place in research.

This research is a study of the heretic movement that took place during the first Abbasid era. I chose to study heresy of Bashar Ibn Burd. I tried to discover the concept of heresy in his poems. Bashar Ibn Burd was a stubborn poet who fought many battles with jurists and politicians, specially his famous battles against Wasil Ibn Ataa and the minister Yaqoub Ibn Daoud. In the third part, I tried to reveal the heresy of Bashar Ibn Burd by tracing the opinions of critics and guiding them to the heresy of Bashar. In the fourth part of the research, I tried to explore the reasons for the assassination of Bashar Ibn Burd, the research attempted to know whether this assassination took place for ideological or political reasons. Bashar tried to obtain a monetary award from the prizes -which granted by the caliph to the poets - from the Minister Jacob Ibn Daoud, but the Minister Jacob Ibn Daoud insisted that Bashar be deprived of the prizes of the caliph, so Bashar was angry, and he created a poem that satirized Minister Jacob Bin Dawood, and wrote another poem satirizing Caliph al-Mahdi. This poem was passed on to the caliph, who then ordered his death.

This research paper consists of an introduction, a preface, an outline of the modern and old Arabic discourse criticism as well as modern foreign criticism and a conclusion. The introduction presented the aim of the research and the significance of the topic and its importance in the modern critical studies compared with previous studies in the discipline. The preface reviewed the research methodology used in the analysis and inference. In the analysis, the research paper showed that the old Arabic criticism concerned with the external inclusion of poetic line and it was not considered or proved as an aesthetic. The modern Arabic criticism came influenced by modern international criticism. However, this contraction didn’t include contraction that is achieved by verbosity level i.e. the internal structure of poetic line, then it was lost in the justifications that make contradiction deserves that. The aim of the research paper is to present the shortcomings of previous studies.
