The 69th issue of the quarterly research journal “Noor-e Ma’rfat” consists of five research articles, with given below core content:
The 1st article discusses the motivations of the contemporary movement for the establishment of an Islamic society, some excellent examples of this movement, and its positive and negative dimensions. This article also examins some important challenges that this movement may face.
The 2nd article attempts to clarify the way to strengthen the Islamic foundations of human sciences. According to this article, human sciences determine the direction of movement of individuals and societies. So, establishing these sciences on the Islamic concept of the universe is a campaign that will pave the way for the establishment of an Islamic civilization.
The 3rd article critically examines the ideas and thoughts of sociologists who consider religion to be a social phenomenon. Rejecting this viewpoint, the article contains an explanation of the ideas of Allama Syed Muhammad Hussain Tabatabai, according to whom the man’s nature is built upon religion; and social environment is just a necessary condition for the manifestations of religion.
The 4th article in this issue examines how the rules of language and expression, especially the rules of Arabic grammar and eloquence, are effective and involved in the affirmation and explanation of religious and Islamic beliefs from the basic textual sources. This article claims that the Shia Imamiyyah took special care to ensure that the general rules of Arabic grammar were fully adhered to in the expression and affirmation of religious beliefs. That is why Shia Imamiyyah were protected from personification of Allah almighty, his analogy, and quiddity etc.
The 5th article in this issue examines the challenges and difficulties faced in the implementation of the “Educational Strategy-2015-2030” for the promotion of education in Gilgit-Baltistan.

The last article draws on research from national education systems in selected countries, including UNESCO, OECD, the United Kingdom, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Norway, to identify key gaps and challenges, which are attributed to excessive politicization, cultural non-universality, superficial treatment of moral values, and insufficient stakeholder involvement.
