A Tombstone Inscription from al-Maʿlā Cemetery of a Woman Named Fāṭima bint ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Malik al-Khurayjī

Abstract This study focuses on a tombstone inscription of the famous al-Maʿlā Cemetery in Makkah al-Mukarramah. The inscription is preserved with a group of memorial stones in the Museum of Antiquities and Heritage in Makkah. It dates to the historical period extending from the 1st to the 5th centuries ah/7th to 11th centuries ce. The inscription was selected for the study because it contains formulas of supplication, some of which are very rare. In addition, it bears the name of a woman whose lineage bears several readings. The study suggests the reading of al-Khurayji, to which thousands are attributed in a family spread over different regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The inscription is devoid of any decoration or softness in its Kufic script. This qualifies it as one of the Kufic script models that is to be emulated, especially those attributed to Makkah and the Hijaz in general.

Evaluation of a Lipid Profile in Normoglycemic and Pre-diabetic Saudi Office Employees in Makka Region: A Case-Control Study.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) poses a significant health challenge worldwide. The impact of a sedentary lifestyle in predicting and managing complications of diabetes represents an urgent need for health strategies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile among normoglycemic and prediabetic Saudi office workers. The research was a case-control study carried out in Makkah al-Mukarramah (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, KSA).Seventy-five office worker volunteers between the ages of 19 and 45 years were recruited for the study. The participants were divided into two groups: a control group of non-diabetic normal subjects (NGT) and prediabetic subjects with impaired fasting plasma glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), based on the American Diabetes Association recommendations. Measurements of glucose, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were performed using standard procedures and commercial kits. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the lipid profile in the two groups, and a P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. A proportion (58.7%) of the office workers are prediabetics; prediabetic office workers had higher total cholesterol compared to the controlgroup (p < 0.05). Triglyceride levels were higher in office workers with prediabetes compared to the normoglycemic group (p < 0.05). LDL levels were elevated in the prediabetic office workerscompared to the control group (p < 0.05). Office employees with prediabetes exhibit elevated levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL. The disturbance in lipid profile may be linked to impaired glucose tolerance in individuals with a sedentary lifestyle, such as office workers.

A Project to Collect and Study the Language of a Group of Contemporary Tihama Al-Hijaz Tribes

A project aimed at collecting and studying the language of a group of contemporary Tihama tribes in the Hijaz, namely: Fahm tribe, Hudhayl tribe, and Banu Kinana (Al-Jahadla). These tribes inhabit the southern region of Makkah al-Mukarramah in the western part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and reside in close proximity, despite the scattered nature of their homes, as indicated by demographic and geographical studies. Renowned for their eloquence, these tribes' language holds significant importance in contemporary linguistic research. The project is structured around two main aspects, each branching into secondary auxiliary facets: firstly, gathering linguistic material used by the mentioned tribes in various daily life situations and communication contexts, and secondly, conducting a linguistic study on the phonetic, morphological, grammatical, and semantic levels based on the collected field data. The research addresses a fundamental problem: monitoring linguistic phenomena in the study sample to answer key questions such as the roots of these phenomena in the classical level of Arabic, their developmental trajectory, and the pathways they traversed to attain their present-day usage. The study yielded crucial results, notably the abundance of morphological phenomena within the tribes, with some maintaining their traditional form while others have evolved. These variations appear in patterned forms in the contemporary dialects of the study environment. The research also revealed the presence of phenomena influenced by multiple linguistic sources. Emphasizing the significance of linguistic geography in achieving planned results, the study recommends further scientifically valuable research in the realm of applied linguistics. Additionally, it suggests that specialized research centers and language academies focus on dialects within the realms of first eloquence.

Determination of radon activity among beach soil samples in Jeddah and Al-Qunfudhah, Saudi Arabia

Natural radioactive materials have a negative impact on public health, especially on people exposed to the sun on beaches. Due to the high temperature in Makkah Al-Mukarramah region, many people resort to going to the sea, and regarding the risks that the public is exposed to, we focus our research on studying and drawing a radiation map of the Red Sea beaches. Also, identify the risks that the public is exposed to while on the various beaches. The study was carried out using a CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detector. The results showed that the average concentration of radon gas on the beaches of Jeddah was 481.34 ± 40.63 Bq / cm3, while the average concentration of radon gas in the city of Al-Qunfudhah was 282.36 ± 38.40 Bq / cm3. 10% of the radon gas concentration values were higher than the safe limit. The mean values for radium for all measured samples were 4.41 ± 0.61 Bq/kg, while the mean values for uranium were 0.22 ± 0.03 ppm. All radium and uranium values were within the internationally permitted limits. The results of the measured beaches indicate that the Red Sea beaches in the Makkah Al-Mukarramah region are safe for use and do not have high life-threatening rates, except for Al-Hamra Corniche Beach in Jeddah, which was higher than permissible. It is recommended to monitor the beach and remove any waste so that its percentage on the beach does not increase. It is also recommended to complete the study on the rest of the Red Sea beaches.

HOME IN THE POETRY OF SAUDI ARABIA POETS: KHALID AL-FAISAL AN EXAMPLE OF A DISTINGUISHED ARAB (2)

&lt;p&gt;It is well known that when a philosopher articulates his or her love for and affiliation with the homeland, he or she may represent the great homeland through a limited part of this homeland. It is worth noting that Makkah Al-Mukarramah is simply a small, light representation of the great homeland, which embraces Makkah Al-Mukarramah like the heart of the body. Consequently, through the striking poem "Umm Al-Gura" by Khalid Al-Faisal, the researcher wishes to highlight the poet's knowledge while also illustrating his love for his vast landscape, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The researcher, on the other hand, attempts to examine the poet's talent through the use of poetic images and symbols in his poem. The study begins with a brief introduction, followed by a prevue examination of Saudi poetry then a glance at the significance of Makkah Al-Mukarramah. The study's main focus is on the Saudi poet Khalid Al-Faisal with reference to some verse lines of his poem Umm Al-Gura (ام القرى). The study implements a critical-analytical method, keeping in mind the concept of home as its primary concern. A brief discussion and conclusion to the analysis are then given.&lt;/p&gt;
