Governance in the Preservation and Protection of Natural Resources from the Perspective of Imami Jurisprudence/1

As human civilization advances and technology progresses, natural resources face increasing degradation, thereby gaining greater importance. The discourse on the necessity of preserving natural resources is nearly universally accepted, though many fail to act upon it in practice.

The Right to Human Dignity and Equality from the Perspective of Jurisprudence/1

The apparent conflict between some jurisprudential rulings and the right to human equality is not a contemporary issue; however, the emergence of discourse surrounding it and the media-driven efforts to popularize this discussion are relatively recent phenomena. At times, the discussion centers on the disparity in rulings concerning men and women, at other times on the differences between Muslims and non-Muslims, and so forth. The dimensions of these conflicts or apparent conflicts, their categorization, the perspectives surrounding them, and the proposed solutions to address them are topics explored in this exclusive article by Hujjat al-Islam Mohammad Javad Ahmadkhani, a professor of advanced levels at the Qom Seminary and a researcher at the Institute for Contemporary Jurisprudential Studies.
