The student presenting the thesis is Mona Hassan Abdul-Ridha. The defense was held in the Imam Hussein (AS) Hall at the college.
The thesis discussed the integral relationship between legal considerations and formative realities in Imami jurisprudence. The significance of language in understanding the Quran was emphasized, given its status as the miraculous book of Allah, the eternal message, the everlasting sign, and the perpetual constitution of Muslims.
