Purpose: The purpose of the current study is to explore the degree to which academic leaders at Saudi universities perceived the concepts of entrepreneurial leadership. Also, to what extent do other demographic variables influence academic leaders’ perceptions of entrepreneurial leadership concepts. Methodology: A quantitative research design was adopted. The study population consisted of the academic leaders at four public universities in Saudi Arabia; two of which are established universities and two emerging universities. A stratified random sampling method was used by stratifying the sample according to the university type, with a total of 313 academic leaders participating in this study. Findings: Overall, the result indicates that academic leaders at Saudi universities moderately discerned the concepts of entrepreneurial leadership (M = 4.00, SD = 0.28). Particularly, academic leaders at Saudi universities highly perceived the entrepreneurial leadership dimension of visionary leadership (M = 4.41, SD = 0.45), and moderately perceived the dimensions of leadership innovation (M = 4.17, SD = 0.37), proactiveness (M = 4.13, SD = 0.32) and risk-taking (M = 3.31, SD = 0.42), respectively. The findings did not indicate significant differences (α = 0.05) among academic leaders in the average insights regarding their perceived concepts of entrepreneurial leadership that can be attributed to gender, occupation and leadership experiences in higher education as a whole. However, the study revealed significant differences in favor of established universities regarding the variable of university type. In conclusion, Saudi universities receive massive support and they have an orientation towards competition and development, hence the adoption of the entrepreneurial leadership concept as a modern leadership style is needed. Thus, this study recommends enhancing the concepts of entrepreneurial leadership in universities through holding training programs, seminars and workshops within the universities to raise awareness of entrepreneurship in academic leaders’ practices. Additionally, taking advantage of the high awareness of the visionary dimension for academic leaders with prompting their ability to take calculated risks would be beneficial to reach a more entrepreneurial approach in all university activities.

This study is based on one of the levels of linguistic analysis of "phonetic analysis" of Sourat al-Fath, attempting to link the phonetic structures and purposes of al Surah, as well as the context of the situation. Thus, the study is based on the analysis of the syllable structure, and the stress pattern. The study finds that the verses of al-Fath are similar in terms of sectional configuration in the section above, and do not match. Besides, verse endings are similar, not identical, in the distribution of word stress, the study analyzes the length feature revealing that the provision of recitation such as long vowels, nasals, silencing and diphthongs, have several functions like: translating the purpose of the Sura like evangelizing, denying, blaming, educating, intimidating g or deterring. All these are employed to attract the listeners' attention and have a psychological impact on the part of the listener, the study selected a sample of its vocabulary, in order to detect the relationship between their sounds and their implications, and the harmony of this vocabulary with the purposes of Surah. It is noticed that, throughout the sura the explosive and voiced sounds are used to express the strong, difficult, shrill or terrible meaning. This is a salient feature in the Quraan, on the other side Quraan also used to express the gentle meaning by a voiceless, lateral and fricative sounds. The study refers to this function through selecting a set of lexica in the context of promising and threatening. Keywords: Surat Alfath, Phoneme Significance, Syllable, Stress, Length, Tazmeen.

It can be argued that the study of the origins of proper nouns in general and places, more recently designated as Toponymy, is of great significance since these are intimately linked to man and his life. In its widest scope, Toponymy is concerned with geographical and astronomical identification, though it can be narrowly be interpreted as denoting names of towns, villages and other inhabited places, In the current study, Toponymy is synonymous with the investigation of the names of both inhabited and uninhabited locations insomuch as this will aid in understanding linguistic development and an important indicator of historical-linguistic research and the evolution of languages and dialects, This study concentrates on two aspects, namely the morphological structure as well as the social and lexicographical semantics of names. The research comprises an introduction, an Overview as well as three chapters and -a conclusion. The Introduction underscores the significance of the study, its nature and methodology. On the other hand, the Overview is devoted to introducing Al Mikhwa Province, its geography, population, and dialects. Regarding the first chapter, it includes the material of the study, namely a list of the topnymy of names in the province which have been diacritized where possible. The locations of these places have been identified and, subsequently, categorized into four areas. The first of these is wadis” valleys”, numbering 60. The second is villages and quarters which total 298. On the other hand, mountains, and fortresses number about 28, while there were31 case of unidentified and other location names. The second chapter was devoted to the morpho-structural study and its implications. It covered three topics such as the singularity and pluralism of names. The second areas were the morphological forms of geographical names, their evolution and interpretation. The third was a study of certain linguistic structural phenomena, the third chapter contained only two topics which were related to the semantics of names. The first of these was a general analysis of widely circulated phrases in the area. The second was a detailed study of the semantic fields. This was an attempt to assigns all the proper nouns to the twelve semantic fields which are in turn progressively subdivided into smaller ones. This was followed by the Conclusion which included the important findings, recommendations as well as the references used in this research which combined a descriptive, analytical, and statistical methodology, the research reached a number of results including the fact that the inhabitants of Al Mikhwa in their naming and dialect designations employ standard phrases which have deep historical association, though here are. In contrast, there is a modern tendency to favor the insertion of the short vowel “i” in Al Mikhwa districts. Also, though of impeccably Arabic rhythms, many names have been subjected to transformation regarding spelling and vowel sounds. Moreover, the names predominantly imitate palpable objects surrounding people, such as living organisms and natural phenomena and manifestations, while preferring singular rather than plural naming conventions. It is hoped that this study has contributed to linguistic and social research and that the recommendations have opened new vistas for further historical investigations.

Islam is keen to keep its image pure and clear from every single satiation, and forbade exaggeration, fanaticism, aggression and hypocrisy; and considered all of this to stay away from religion and forbidden to attack non-Muslims who are safe in their homes. This research deals with the suspicions and crimes that have been attributed to Islam, which are contrary to its values and provisions, It became clear to the researcher that those who authorized these crimes mentioned correct evidences without stating what they went to, but which prevent this when checking and investigating, and here they have manipulated the people and changed the reality. As for jurisprudence diligence, these acts were considered acts of treachery, which Islam forbade and called for in fighting and warning them, the researcher also found that these criminal acts cause great harms to Islam and Muslims. They depict Islam and Muslims as terrorists in the minds of others. This is enough to keep away from the faith and believe in Allah. It also fosters hatred and hostility towards Muslims and their rituals. Keywords: Suspicion, Assault, Safe, Non-Muslims, Treachery, Jurisprudence.

Allah the Almighty has conferred favor upon the Ummah of Islam that bestowed them this Quran. It is regarded the life of people if they understand it. The real life is that which goes in accordance with the principle of Holy Quran and without which there is no life. The Quran came with all the requirements that servants need in their worldly life and make them happy in the life hereafter. The Quran established the system of the family, society, the judiciary, politics and governance. It also corrected the beliefs, rectified people’s thought, and refined their behavior. In light of what has been reviewed, the present research emerged as to point out what Sura Quraish has subscribed to fundamentals of human life through four aspects without which life cannot stand: social relations, explanation of human function and purpose in this life, declaration of body protection and security, and averting harm. The research pointed out the importance of linking life with Quran and that life cannot be separated from religion. The research also proclaimed the status of the sacred house and its survival for human life. Keywords: Necessities, Life, Sura, Qurash.
