The Role of Cohesion in Translation between Arabic and English with Reference to Surat An-Naba from the Noble Qur an

Abstract

In these few pages, we outline some of the rights and provisions specific to the drowned and missing persons in Islamic jurisprudence, using the catastrophe of the city of Derna as a example . We begin with a study of the rulings of missing persons, their conditions, and the duration of waiting for the missing individual. We discuss the missing person's right to search and investigation as a societal solidarity responsibility, as well as the preservation and maintenance of their property. We also cover the inheritance rulings for a missing person from outsiders, the inheritance of their relatives, the rulings on inheritance between the drowned and the demolished, and others. Additionally, we address questions such as when the state of disappearance ends, and the ruling if the missing person appears alive after a death judgment has been issued, and its impact on their wealth and possessions, and so on. It's worth noting that Libyan law has not intervened to regulate the provisions of missing persons in detail, nor has it issued legislation to regulate inheritance, but rather has referred in several laws to benefit from the provisions of Islamic law if the judge does not find legislative text that can be applied to the case presented to him. This indicates the flexibility of our Sharia and the ability of our jurists to deal with all crises and developments, and to find appropriate legal provisions for them in different times, places, and circumstances.
