The level of use of educational games and its relationship to information retention among primary school students from the teachers' point of view
The study aimed to reveal the nature of the correlation between educational games and information retention among primary school students from the point of view of female teachers in the Jeddah region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To achieve the study objectives, two scales were developed for educational games and information retention, and their psychometric properties were verified. A random sample of (380) female teachers was selected, and the two scales were applied to them. The results of the study showed that the level of both the teachers’ use of educational games and the level of students’ information retention was average. There is also a positive correlation between educational games and information retention. The results also indicated the presence of statistically significant differences in educational games and information retention attributed to the variable of the teacher’s specialization, in favor of the scientific specialization compared to the humanities specialization. Based on the results of the study, some recommendations were made, including working on using educational games due to their role in information retention among students.

The Mechanisms of Rhetorical Argumentation in Responding to Certain Claims of the People of the Book.
Argumentation is considered a pivotal rhetorical tool for persuading the audience and influencing their attitudes and opinions. It is based on presenting evidence and proofs according to a logical progression known as the "argumentative hierarchy," which organizes arguments according to their strength and weakness, thereby granting argumentative discourse its distinctive persuasive character. Given that the People of the Book were known for reprehensible traits and false claims, the Qur’an confronted these claims with refuting arguments and decisive proofs that expose their falsehood and invalidate them. Accordingly, this study seeks to explore the rhetorical argumentative mechanisms employed in responding to some of the claims of the People of the Book, by selecting representative examples of such claims for descriptive and analytical examination, without aiming for exhaustive coverage, and drawing upon a set of Qur’anic verses and interpreting their argumentative dimensions in light of several exegetical works and specialized references related to the subject of the study.

The effectiveness of a training program to improve speech fluency for people with stuttering disorder، enhanced by delay time auditory feedback and frequency modulation (DAF-FAF) techniques
The aim of the research was to develop a training program to improve speech fluency for university students with stuttering disorder، enhanced with assistive techniques. The literature on stuttering disorder، programs، and assistive therapeutic techniques for Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) and Frequency Altered Feedback (FAF) were reviewed. Then، a student case study card، a stuttering scale، and a training program (24) sessions were prepared. Then، it was reinforced with assistive techniques in two implementation phases during (8) sessions. The tools and program were scientifically controlled. The tools were applied pre-test on the research sample، which consisted of (5) students. Then، they were trained during (24) sessions with the traditional behavioral training program. The stuttering scale was applied to them as an initial post-test. Then، they were trained with assistive techniques during (8) sessions، and the stuttering scale was applied to them as a second post-test. To verify the effectiveness of both programs، the Blake's ratio for the adjusted gain of the traditional program was calculated، which was (1.1) a ratio indicating its limited effectiveness. The gain ratio of the program after being enhanced with supportive technologies was also calculated، which was (4.6), a ratio indicating its effectiveness. The Wilcoxon test was used to calculate the significance of the differences between the effects of the two programs، the traditional and the technology-enhanced program. The calculated Z value was (2.8), which is a statistically significant value (at the 0.05 level) indicating the presence of significant differences in the level of improvement of the research sample in favor of their training in the technology-enhanced program.

Conversational implicature in Surah Luqman "An Applied Study"
This study examines the theory of conversational implicature, which has attracted wide attention due to its connection with the pragmatic performance of language and its evident practical value. Previous studies have mainly focused on its application in various branches of rhetoric, while largely neglecting its presence in grammatical discourse—despite the fact that grammatical rules embody the same principles of conversation proposed by Grice. The research seeks to establish a link between grammatical rules and the maxims of conversational implicature, exploring their counterparts in syntax with respect to the principles of quantity, quality, relevance, and manner, as well as their underlying rhetorical significance. The study focuses on Sūrat Luqmān, which contains two types of dialogue—divine-to-human and human-to-human—to uncover dimensions of Qurʾānic inimitability. Its goal is to strengthen the relationship between grammar and modern linguistic theories and to highlight the genius of Arab grammarians in describing the Arabic system. The study adopts inductive, analytical, and deductive methods, concluding that conversational implicature is a procedural concept of great analytical value in understanding texts and revealing their aesthetic levels, with multiple approaches to its application depending on the philosophical and intellectual foundations upon which Grice built his model.

Market Ethics in the Prophetic Sunnah and Their Impact on the Stability of Commercial Activity: A Foundational Study in Light of Islamic Texts
This research aims to establish the ethical foundations of the marketplace in light of the Prophetic Sunnah and to analyze their role in regulating commercial activity to achieve economic stability. The study adopts a tripartite methodology: the inductive method for collecting relevant Prophetic traditions on market behavior; the doctrinal method to link these traditions to the overarching objectives of Islamic law (Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah); and the analytical method to examine the economic and social impacts of applying these ethical principles. The findings reveal that the Islamic marketplace operates as a comprehensive ethical and legislative system based on honesty، trustworthiness، and the prohibition of fraud، monopolization، and deceit. These principles foster trust among market participants and enhance transparency and stability. The study also demonstrates the feasibility of applying Islamic market ethics in contemporary economic systems through regulatory mechanisms such as modern adaptations of the ḥisbah (market supervision)، ethical codes for commercial institutions، and the integration of moral values into economic policymaking. The study recommends incorporating Islamic ethical models into modern market reforms، promoting ethical economic education، and developing indicators to assess the moral performance of markets alongside traditional financial metrics.

The Requirements of the Statement of Claim and the Rules of Its Nullity under Saudi Law
This study explores the requirements of the statement of claim and the rules of its nullity under Saudi law, since the statement of claim represents the procedural foundation upon which litigation is initiated, and judicial disputes are established. Its importance lies in the fact that any omission or defect may suspend proceedings or render the claim null, potentially leading to loss of rights or prolongation of disputes, especially in light of the digital transformation of judicial procedures through the Najiz platform.The research aims to clarify the legal framework governing the statement of claim in Saudi law by defining its concept and statutory basis, identifying its essential procedural requirements, and analyzing nullity as a sanction for defects. It distinguishes between conditions whose absence results in nullity and those that may be corrected without invalidating the claim. The study also examines judicial practices concerning nullity and whether courts may rule on it independently or only upon a party’s objection.Methodologically, the research adopts a descriptive, analytical, and comparative approach, combining statutory provisions with classical jurisprudence, modern legal scholarship, and judicial applications.The findings reveal that the statement of claim is indispensable for initiating litigation, and its essential requirements are necessary for validity. Procedural defects, however, may be rectified if the intended purpose of the rule is achieved. The study also shows that Saudi courts occasionally declare nullity ex officio, highlighting the need for legislative clarification and for updating statutory provisions to align with electronic litigation.

AI Chatbots in Saudi EFL Higher Education: From Teacher-Dominated Instruction to Student-Centered Learning
Proficiency in the English language continues to be mired in numerous hurdles for Saudi leaners: one major problem is hanging on teacher-dominated instruction and GTM. This study aims to look into how Artificial Intelligence chatbots, such as ChatGPT, can redefine it into a more student-centered way of teaching. The research is intuitive and coherent in the context of connectivism and socio-cultural theory in finding relevant evidence whether AI can reduce such teacher domination and improve student autonomy and communicative competence among Saudi undergraduates in the field of English. A mixed-method design was employed, with a quantitative survey (N=72) together with qualitative interviews. The findings indicated that AI use is a strong positive predictor of both student-centered teaching practices and improvements in learner autonomy and communication competence. Moreover, it showed that greater engagement with AI was significantly associated with a more student-centered orientation in learning, increased learner autonomy, and enhanced communicative skills. Qualitative data further supported these findings, suggesting that AI boosts students' confidence and participation. Thus, AI tools present a juncture in the trajectory of Saudi higher education's pedagogical change concerning diminished conventional teacher dominance and a more autonomous student-centered learning environment in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

Names divided into cosmic and sharia (legal) in the Holy Qur'an: A Collection and a Study.
This study examines the concept of designations (al-musammayāt) in the Holy Qur’an by collecting and analyzing them within the framework of their division into universal (kawniyyah) and legislative (shar‘iyyah) categories, highlighting the essential distinctions between the two and their impact on understanding and applying the Qur’anic text. The research aims to clarify the difference between universal and legislative designations, explore the implications of this distinction for the believer’s comprehension of Qur’anic discourse, and determine the responsibilities that arise after such knowledge. The study adopts an inductive, analytical, and comparative methodology. The findings reveal that universal designations are synonymous with divine will and encompass everything that God decrees and creates in the universe, whether good or evil, beloved to Him or not, and they inevitably occur. In contrast, legislative designations are synonymous with divine love and approval, encompassing what God commands and legislates for His servants, whether by enjoining what He loves and approves or forbidding what He dislikes, and they may or may not occur—yet when they do, they fall within the scope of universal designations. The study further concludes that certain Qur’anic designations may simultaneously convey both universal and legislative meanings, reflecting the depth and comprehensiveness of Qur’anic expression.

The effect of the contract is reversed between the rule and the exception "An applied analytical study"
The issue of the contract’s effect being transferred to the successor is one of the fundamental issues in the general theory of obligations, as it raises problems related to the extent of the transfer of rights and duties between predecessors and successors. The research aims to clarify the effect of this transfer to the general successor, the special successor, and the cases of exception. The researcher adopted the inductive method, the analytical method, and the applied method. The study concluded that there are two types of successors: the first: the general successor: who succeeds the person in all or part of his financial liability, and the effect of the contract extends to him within the limits of what the predecessor left of rights and obligations existing at the time of his death without extending to his private liability unless it appears from the contract or from the nature of the transaction or from the text of the system that this effect does not extend to the general successor. Second: The special successor: He is the one who succeeds another in the ownership of a specific thing. The basic principle is that he is a stranger to the contracts of his predecessor, as he is not bound by them nor does he acquire a right from them except by the fulfillment of three conditions.

Family Alienation in Saudi Society: An Analytical Field Study in Light of Karl Marx's Theory of Alienation
This study aims to explore the phenomenon of family alienation in Saudi society in light of Karl Marx’s six dimensions: estrangement, loneliness, powerlessness, exploitation, diminished enjoyment, and lack of appreciation. A descriptive survey method was applied to a sample of 1,693 Saudi adults (20 years and above) distributed across different regions of the Kingdom, using a questionnaire designed according to Marx’s framework. The findings revealed that the overall level of family alienation was relatively low; however, exploitation was the most prominent dimension (41.7%), followed by powerlessness (32.4%), while loneliness recorded the lowest level (26.2%). Significant differences were found across demographic variables, with higher alienation among younger participants, low-income groups, members of larger families, and those spending longer hours online. Correlation analysis also showed strong interrelations among the six dimensions, indicating their overlap in shaping individuals’ emotional experiences. The study concludes that role-related pressures and imbalance in appreciation are the most critical sources of family alienation in Saudi society. It highlights the need for preventive and counseling programs that enhance mutual recognition, ensure fair distribution of responsibilities, and promote balanced use of digital media. The findings emphasize incorporating family alienation into national social policies and encourage further studies that address its theoretical and applied dimensions

A qualitative phenomenological study about the reasons and solutions of low reading comprehension skills among elementary school students from the viewpoints of international test coordinators and reading teaching supervisors
This study aimed to diagnose the manifestations of poor reading comprehension skills among primary school students and to identify the contributing factors behind the decline in this essential literacy skill. It also sought to explore proposed solutions for addressing the issue from the perspectives of international assessment coordinators and reading instruction supervisors within the Taif Education Directorate in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study adopted a qualitative methodology utilizing a phenomenological research design to explore and understand participants' in-depth experiences and insights regarding the phenomenon under investigation. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with nine international assessment coordinators and reading supervisors, in addition to a focused group interview with six supervisors during the 1446 AH academic year. The findings revealed five key manifestations of weak reading comprehension skills, the most prominent of which were psychological, behavioral, and accumulative issues negatively affecting students’ ability to comprehend texts. Furthermore, the results indicated that the underlying causes of poor reading comprehension could be categorized into five domains: teacher-related factors, student-related factors, school and educational system-related factors, sociocultural factors, and curriculum and assessment-related factors. Based on these findings, the study proposed a set of solutions categorized into four main areas: organizational solutions related to the school and educational system, developmental solutions related to curriculum and instructional methods, professional solutions targeting teacher preparation and competency development, and general awareness solutions aimed at families and the broader community to enhance their role in supporting students’ reading comprehension skills.
