Abstract

This study aims to identify Indonesian students’ perceptions at King Saud University Riyadh regarding the concept of bid‘ah and analyze its implications for daily religious practices. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using an exploratory survey design. Data were collected through an online Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to Indonesian students at King Saud University Riyadh. Out of a population of 29 students, 21 respondents completed the questionnaire and were included in the analysis. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, and response tendencies. The findings reveal that students’ understanding of bid‘ah is dynamic and cannot be categorized as entirely textual or contextual. While some respondents emphasized strict adherence to the Prophet’s Sunnah, most still accepted the concept of bid‘ah hasanah and continued participating in religious practices such as tahlilan, mawlid celebrations, yasinan, and collective dhikr. The study indicates that theological understanding of bid‘ah does not necessarily lead to direct changes in religious practices. Theoretically, this study contributes to empirical discussions on the reception of bid‘ah within the context of the Indonesian Muslim diaspora, while methodologically highlighting the importance of descriptive empirical approaches in contemporary socio-religious studies.

Abstract

This study evaluates the universality claim of Noam Chomsky’s generative grammar by examining its applicability to Arabic, particularly the syntactic structures of the Qur’an, in comparison with Arabic syntax. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, it analyzes three purposively selected verses QS. Al-Fātiḥah [1]: 5, QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 286, and QS. Al-Ḥijr [15]: 9 representing object fronting (taqdīm wa ta’khīr), negation-restriction, and tawkīd (emphasis). The analysis involves deep and surface structure identification, transformational analysis, Arabic syntax based interpretation, and comparative evaluation. Furthermore, each verse is examined not only from the perspective of transformational syntax but also through the interpretative principles of classical Arabic grammar, allowing a more comprehensive understanding of how syntactic structures interact with semantic and rhetorical functions in Qur’anic discourse. This comparative perspective enables the study to identify the strengths and limitations of both linguistic traditions in explaining the complexity of Arabic syntax. The findings show that generative grammar effectively explains formal mechanisms such as movement and insertion but remains limited in addressing the semantic and rhetorical dimensions of Arabic, especially in Qur’anic discourse. In contrast, Arabic syntax provides a more integrative account of structure and meaning by considering grammatical, contextual, and communicative aspects simultaneously. The study concludes that the universality claim of generative grammar is only partially valid, thus requiring an integrative framework combining formal and functional approaches. Such a framework is expected to provide a more balanced and comprehensive explanation of Arabic syntax, particularly for texts with rich linguistic, stylistic, and rhetorical characteristics such as the Qur’an.
