Iterative Arabic Research Content Development

Click below box to toggle between post's dark, light and white modes.
         

Let's build content iteratively together!
Total entries ready for Particles (Stage 2) = 20.
Total entries ready for Patterns (Stage 1) = 20.

InshaALLAH! the following mechanism is decided for preparing and launching new posts on Revive Arabic Blog:
Posts will inshaALLAH be prepared and unlocked in stages:
S1 = Stage 1 = List possible meanings, for further refinement or filtering in stage 2.
S2 = Stage 2 = Extract out or refine the core meaning shade or shades and also give a translation attempt for the word. Remove S1 content as it is no longer needed after this refinement and filtration.
S3 = Stage 3 = Explain the derivation or meanings in more detail.
S4 = Stage 4 = Give relevant examples from The Qur'an.
S5 = Stage 5 = Prepare infographic / silent video presentation for ease of understanding.

Why iterative process is planned? It minimizes the risk for all parties. I can prepare S1 / S2 content for more posts. Sponsors can get more posts with S1 / S2 content, and only sponsor S3 / S4 / S5 content for posts, in which they are interested to dive deeper or need more explanation and details.

Following is the step-wise process that is to be followed inshaALLAH!:
1. Prepare content for S1 / S2 stage for each post.
2. Mention total hours spent on S1 / S2 stage content for each post and also mention the hours requiring sponsorship.
3. Unlock the S1 / S2 content for each post once the sponsorship is received.
4. Minimum 10 hours sponsorship or $100 is required from every sponsor. (Multiple posts can be unlocked if hours requiring sponsorship for a post are less than 10).
5. Once the S1 / S2 content for any post is launched, if any sponsor is interested in sponsoring the development of content for S3 / S4 for that post, then prepare S3 / S4 content for that post.
6. Unlock the post with S3 / S4 content added, once the sponsorship is received for S3 / S4 content.
7. Once the S3 / S4 content for any post is launched, if any sponsor is interested in sponsoring the development of content for S5 for that post, then prepare S5 content for that post.
8. Unlock the post with S5 content added, once the sponsorship is received for S5 content.

Method of sponsoring / Funding:
Direct IBAN transfer, or via Google Pay or Apple Pay, or transfer via Ria, Western Union or MoneyGram, but other methods can also be explored via Email. IBAN and other required details can be provided to interested sponsors, after some discussion with the sponsor for some days or weeks. Email :asimiqbal2nd @ live.com

Series - Case Theory Unique Research - Common meaning shades, range of meaning shades, use cases etc. for cases in Arabic:

Deep exploration of all the use cases of cases, to identify core and common meaning shades, range of meanings, and also the use cases and other important factors, instead of just mentioning the types of words that come under each case, as is done conventionally. Unconventional deep research with focus on Quranic usage to attempt to extract core meaning shades and range of meaning shades inshaALLAH!
1. Usage and use cases of نصب in Arabic, inshaALLAH! with a special focus to observe Quranic Usage for the use cases, and attempt to extract the core meaning shades and the range of meaning shades.
2. Usage and use cases of رفع in Arabic, inshaALLAH! with a special focus to observe Quranic Usage for the use cases, and attempt to extract the core meaning shades and the range of meaning shades.

Note that this is a very important and much needed area of research. The need for deep research on case theory, patterns research etc. can be understood better by visiting Arabic Studies - Reform Ideas. With all due respect to the scholars of the past. They did their work, water must keep flowing like a stream and not become stagnant like a lake. They did not have the tools and the head start we can get today by consulting books by multiple scholars together and also use various Quran Concordance Techniques to use the Quran as the Criterion and Judge. Who can say no more guidance or new insight can be derived from The Quran anymore, and past scholars derived all the possible guidance and insights? Work must never stop! If you are not comfortable funding me due to any reason, you can convince scholars you like to initiate this research. If they are not willing to do this time consuming research that is way beyond the comfort zone for any student or scholar, you may come back to me, but no one can guarantee the future. So it is better to come to me now, instead of having any thoughts when I am gone or you are no longer able to support my work. No one can come back in time.
