Ijtihad
Two codes, four years, one reasoned answer.
The class that studied fiqh and statute side by side holds its last session. A majlis circle where every graduate answers one question, a register of the class, and an ijazah-style certificate signed at the end.
01
The concept
Usul in the morning, civil code in the afternoon. You learnt to reason in both.
Ijtihad sets the day up as a study circle, the halaqa every Sharia and Law student has sat in. The class sits in one wide circle; each graduate draws a question card — a case, a principle, a memory from the four years — and gives a short reasoned answer. A register of the class records every name and every answer, and the day closes with a certificate for the cohort, signed by the professors who taught them.
It's for Sharia and Law students at Al-Azhar, who carry two libraries in their heads and still get asked which one is the real law. The palette is deep green, manuscript cream and one gold fill for the seal — never as text.
02
Identity
A register entry and a seal.
A register lockup — name, faculty, year, session — in Arabic first and English second, with the department code as the register number. Supplied editable. No geometric ornament, no calligraphic flourishes: the type and the green carry it.
A plain circular seal and a four-page guide to the one rule: gold is the seal and nothing else.
