Bedeutung
To bring a topic or problem to public attention or discussion.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In the Arab world, talk shows (برامج التوك شو) are famous for 'إثارة القضايا' (raising issues) that are sometimes considered taboo, leading to intense public debate. In countries like Lebanon or Jordan, 'raising an issue' in a community setting often involves a 'Wasta' (mediator) to ensure the discussion doesn't lead to personal conflict. Egypt has a long history of 'Qadaya' (Issues) in literature and cinema, where writers like Naguib Mahfouz 'raised issues' of class and social justice. In Gulf corporate environments, 'raising an issue' is done very formally and usually through hierarchical channels to maintain 'Hishma' (modesty/respect).
Use with Adjectives
Always pair it with a strong adjective like 'حساسة' (sensitive), 'شائكة' (thorny), or 'جوهرية' (fundamental) to sound like a native speaker.
Avoid Triviality
Don't use this for 'What's for dinner?'—it makes you sound like a dramatic news anchor.

The 'Al-Qadiyya' Nuance
Be aware that 'The Qadiyya' usually means Palestine. If you mean a general issue, use 'قضية ما' or 'قضية معينة'.
