Vol. 14 No. 56 (2025): Good Life : Divine Blessing

In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

All praise is due to Allah, Who is transcendent in His might and immanent in His grace. We praise Him for the manifestations of His generosity and His abundant blessings. Peace and salutations be upon the prophet, who was sent as a mercy to the worlds and dispatched to humanity as a source of guidance and wisdom.

     Now then , 

Al-Ameed Journal commits itself to the dissemination of enlightened thought that comprehends the foundational principles of the divine message to humanity—a message to soundly construct the human beings and cultivate them in line with the highest human values.

     Throughout its academic trajectory, the issues abound with, cultural, educational and scientific research investigating matters intrinsically linked to the lives of Muslims, thereby addressing the most pressing, intellectual, educational, economic and social challenges.

    Undoubtedly, these studies are grounded in Islamic intellectual and scientific paradigms. The paradigms affirm that the Islamic message is fundamentally dedicated to constructing a "Good Life : Divine Blessing" , Hayat Tayyibah for humanity. In such a life, the individual is productive in  various domains and strives to promulgate justice, equality, and human values. These values safeguard human rights, protect the dignity of women, ensure the care of children, and advocate for the cultivation of the earth for the welfare and prosperity of humankind. They call for harnessing natural resources to serve humanity without discrimination; thus, there is no subjugation, exploitation, or oppression in the Islamic society. Allah Almighty says:

"Whoever works righteousness, Man or woman, and has Faith, Verily, to him will We give A new Life, a life That is good and pure, and We Will bestow on such their reward According to the best Of their actions" (Surah An-Nahl: 97)

     From such a premise, theories and perspectives emerge to buttress the elevation of human existence to the highest echelons in pursuit of this "good life." It is therefore unsurprising that this issue is headlined with a collection of papers that bridge human life with the divine teachings revealed by Allah Almighty—teachings that transcend  existence to the highest degrees of development, culminating in the "good life" that will manifest, by Allah will, in the Mahdist society.

    We harbor no doubt that this paradigm of life will be realized by virtue of the legacy we have inherited from the chronicles of our Chosen Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny), and our infallible Imams (peace be upon them), who served as an illuminating beacon for believers and an ark of salvation for Muslims.

     More vehemently it is to pledge to our researchers and readers that this journal will remain steadfast in its methodology of propagating Islamic thought universally. It shall continue to serve as a a lamp in a world rife with oppression, tyranny, corruption, human subjugation, and exploitation at the hands of the merchants of vice and the advocates of misguidance.

     This methodology will persistently serve as our conduit to convey the voice of truth, justice, and equity to all intellectuals. Through it, we aim to open horizons of Islamic knowledge for them—horizons purified from the attempts at distortion and misrepresentation perpetrated by the mouthpieces of misguidance and globalization. We are driven by the profound motivation to attain the pleasure of Allah Almighty by spreading awareness of the importance of reform and righteous deeds, thereby paving the way for the reappearance of our Awaited Imam, Al-Hujjah (may Allah hasten his honorable reappearance), who will fill the earth with justice and equity after it has been filled with tyranny and oppression.
