The science of interpretation has a special position in the Islamic sciences and has been addressed seriously by Muslims from the very first days of Islam, because interpretation is to understand and discover the points of the best speech, i.e. the speech of the Sublime Allāh. One of the new commentaries on Muslims' divine book is al-Tafsīr al-munīr fī al-‘aqīda wa al-sharī‘a wa al-munhaj, auth...

We first explain the basic concept of a probability space, (Ω,F , P ). This may be interpreted as an experiment with random outcomes. The set Ω is the collection of all possible outcomes of the experiment; F is a family of subsets of Ω called events; and P is a function that associates to an event its probability. These objects must satisfy certain logical requirements, which are detailed below...

BACKGROUND Phantom limb pain (PLP) is approximately a common condition after limb amputation, which potentially affects the quality of life. We aimed to evaluate anxiety and depression in patients with amputated limbs suffering from PLP and to compare these psychological dysfunctions with that of patients with non-phantom chronic pain. METHODS A total number of 16 male amputees with PLP and 2...
