Abstract

This study aims to investigate how Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd employs language as a site of power and resistance in the reinterpretation of Islamic texts and the promotion of religious pluralism. It focuses on how his linguistic-hermeneutical approach challenges dominant literalist paradigms and contributes to the development of inclusive Islamic theology. The research adopts a qualitative methodology through textual analysis of Abu Zayd’s major works, complemented by a critical discourse analysis (CDA) framework. Key concepts such as language, power, and authority in interpretation are examined to understand how Abu Zayd reconstructs religious meaning within the context of sociopolitical realities. The findings reveal that Abu Zayd’s philosophy of language subverts literalist and hegemonic interpretations by promoting a dynamic, context-sensitive, and pluralistic reading of Islamic texts rooted in lived human experience. His hermeneutics exposes the embedded power relations in religious discourse and offers a critical lens for deconstructing interpretative authority. By foregrounding the role of language in shaping theological narratives, this study contributes to the decolonization of Islamic discourse and highlights Abu Zayd’s hermeneutics as a foundation for developing an emancipatory and pluralist Islamic theology, particularly relevant for Muslim communities beyond the dominant Arab-Western paradigms. This research contributes to the decolonization of Islamic studies by demonstrating how linguistic awareness and interpretive plurality can challenge hegemonic discourses, reclaim interpretative agency, and open new spaces for contextual and inclusive Islamic thought, especially within postcolonial Muslim societies.

Abstract

This study examines the cultural and social dynamics influencing Arabic language education in urban and rural settings. It investigates how environmental factors, cultural values, and social interactions shape language acquisition and teaching methodologies. The research employs a comparative qualitative approach, incorporating observations, interviews with educators and learners, and an analysis of educational practices in both contexts. Findings reveal significant differences between urban and rural settings: urban environments benefit from diverse populations, access to advanced technology, and collaborative learning opportunities, while rural areas face challenges such as limited resources but leverage strong community involvement and cultural continuity. The study concludes that contextually responsive strategies, culturally aligned curricula, teacher training programs, and integrating modern tools with traditional practices are essential for effective and sustainable Arabic language education. These results provide actionable insights for policymakers and educators aiming to enhance the accessibility and relevance of Arabic language programs across diverse learning environments.

Abstract

This research investigated the challenges faced by chemistry Ph.D. candidates writing in English as a second language. Drawing from Second Language Writing, Genre Theory, and Academic Writing Instruction and Support, we investigated the linguistic, cultural, and disciplinary factors that might affect these students' writing development. Nineteen doctoral students participated in the study, which relied on a self-study methodology. Attitudes towards writing, idea generation, revision, criticism, cooperation, and writing process awareness were only some topics covered in a seven-part online survey on academic writing. Language, method, outcomes, style, and substance were found to be the most salient aspects of academic writing as seen by graduate students. There were five major classes of issues with academic writing, including text, errors, competence, support, and dissemination medium. By drawing on the fields of Second Language Writing, Genre Theory, and Academic Writing Instruction and Support, we propose strategies for enhancing students' abilities in academic writing. These strategies range from providing more detailed instructions on the writing process to emphasizing the importance of close communication between faculty advisors and their students. The ramifications of these results for graduate education programs that want to help their students with their academic writing are substantial.
