The Melodies of Faith: Exploring Rituals and Chants of Al-Mawlid Al-Nabawi Celebrations in Sudan Omar Mohammad-Ameen Ahmad Hazaymeh Journal of Religion in Africa, 2026 This paper explores the celebration of Al-Mawlid Al-Nabawi, the celebration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad, in Sudan. This celebration is characterized by elaborate processions, zikr (remembrance of God), the lighting of mosques and homes, and the distribution of food. These rituals foster a sense of unity, spiritual connection, and communal generosity. Chants, including Madih (praise poetry) and Sufi Qasaʾid, play a crucial role in expressing love and reverence for the Prophet. The study recommends preserving these traditions to maintain cultural heritage and promote communal harmony. Additionally, it suggests further research into the impact of these celebrations on community cohesion and spiritual well-being. In conclusion, the celebration of Al-Mawlid Al-Nabawi in Sudan is a vibrant expression of religious devotion and cultural identity, reflecting the profound love and reverence Sudanese Muslims have for Prophet Muhammad.
BILINGUALISM IN THE JORDANIAN-RUSSIAN FAMILY RESIDING IN JORDAN AND ITS IMPACT ON COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ITS MEMBERS Omar Mohammad-Ameen Ahmad Hazaymeh Sustainable Multilingualism, 2025 This research examines bilingualism in Jordanian-Russian families in Jordan, focusing on its impact on family interaction, cultural identity, and everyday communication. Using a qualitative approach that included interviews, participant observation, and language diaries, the study analyzed language use patterns within the family. The results showed that intersentential code-switching was the most common strategy, with children frequently alternating between Arabic and Russian within the same sentence. This strategy aligns with the Equivalence Constraint Theory, which posits that switching occurs at points where the grammatical structures of both languages align. For example, one child reported starting a sentence in Arabic and ending it in Russian due to the deeper meaning certain words convey in each language. Additionally, situational code-switching was observed, as children adjusted their language use based on the context, particularly when accommodating their parents’ varying proficiency levels, reflecting Communication Accommodation Theory. The study also found that bilingualism significantly affects the formation of children’s cultural identity, with some children developing a dual affiliation while others lean toward a single cultural identity. For example, children immersed in Jordanian society and Arabic-dominant settings identified more closely with Jordanian culture, while those with stronger ties to their Russian-speaking mothers and frequent visits to Russia maintained a deeper connection to Russian culture. The research highlights the challenges faced by Russian mothers in maintaining their native language at home and the importance of a supportive environment for bilingualism. It recommends enhancing parents’ understanding of the impact of bilingualism on their children, promoting balanced educational methods for integrated language development, and developing educational resources to support learning Russian alongside Arabic in the Jordanian context.
MUSLIM REPRESENTATION IN EUROPEAN PARLIAMENTS IN THE XXIST CENTURY: SOCIETAL INTEGRATION OR POLITICAL NECESSITY? Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies, 2025
Gender and Religion: A Typology of Female Names in Sudan Omar Mohammad-Ameen Ahmad Hazaymeh Onomastica Desde America Latina, 2025 This study aims to analyze the impact of Islam on the choice of female names in Sudan through a semantic analytical approach to explore female names associated with Islam from a cultural and religious perspective. The research’s motivation stems from the significant role that names play in identity formation and the transmission of cultural and religious values. Despite the extensive body of literature on Islamic naming traditions, little attention has been given to the specific case of Sudan. This study hopes to contribute in showing how Islam affects names in Sudanese society. To achieve this, female names associated with Islam were collected from various Sudanese regions to shed light on their types. As for the methodology, after collecting the names they were categorized under headings to show the Islamic sources from which they were taken. The study relied on the works in the theoretical framework about names in their cultural, social and religious contexts and those explore Islamic and Arabic onomastics. The findings reveal that many Sudanese female names are deeply rooted in Islamic heritage, reflecting moral and spiritual values that parents wish to instill in their children. Some names are intentionally chosen to affirm religious identity, reinforcing the connection between personal identity and the broader Islamic religious framework. This research contributes to the field by highlighting the impact of religion in naming practices. It reflects the importance of raising awareness about the socio-religious significance of names and recommends integrating these discussions into educational curricula. The study calls for initiatives that encourage parents to engage with Islamic heritage in naming their children while also considering the broader cultural and historical dimensions of Sudanese society and to promote a deeper understanding of the cultural and religious significance of names in shaping identity, social belonging, and conveying religious values.
Death and Funeral Customs in Jordanian Society Omar Mohammad-Ameen Ahmad Hazaymeh Omega United States, 2025 This research aims to examine how Jordanian society deals with death from a cultural and social perspective, focusing on the rituals associated with it. The research adopted a descriptive and analytical approach to document and analyze the stages of funeral rites, from the moment the death is announced until after the funeral, while monitoring the transformations that have occurred in these rituals due to technological developments and economic pressures. The research concludes that death rituals in Jordan constitute an integrated system that combines religious teachings and social customs, and plays a prominent role in strengthening group solidarity and consolidating cultural identity, despite the gradual changes they are witnessing. The research recommends conducting comparative studies between different religious and ethnic environments in Jordan, analyzing the impact of digital media on death rituals, and calling for the scientific documentation of these rituals to preserve them as part of Jordan’s intangible cultural heritage.
