Abstract

The Hikayat Iskandar Zulkarnain is a significant literary work in the Malay tradition that transcends its role as a historical narrative to become a crucial medium for shaping and reinforcing political, cultural, and moral identities in Southeast Asia. This study explores the multifaceted impact of the Hikayat by analyzing its themes, narrative structure, and linguistic aspects. The text portrays Iskandar Zulkarnain (Alexander the Great) as the ideal ruler, embedding Islamic values and leadership qualities desired by Malay society. The narrative's structure, especially the Islamization episode in Habsyi, supports the depiction of divine guidance, making the Hikayat a didactic tool for instilling moral teachings. Linguistically, the text preserves archaic words that reflect the evolution of the Malay language, particularly in the Acehnese dialect, highlighting its importance as a cultural and historical document. Politically, the Hikayat has been used to legitimize the authority of Malay rulers by positioning Iskandar as a spiritual ancestor, thereby reinforcing their divine right to rule. Additionally, the narrative has been appropriated to construct national identities, especially in Aceh, where it was used to bolster the legitimacy of local rulers. Overall, the Hikayat Iskandar Zulkarnain remains a vital resource for understanding the interplay between literature, history, politics, and cultural identity in the Malay world.

Abstract

Iskandar Zulqarnain, often equated with Alexander the Great, is a multifaceted figure whose legacy transcends historical accounts to enter the realms of myth and literature. This study explores his historical significance, literary representations, and socio-cultural implications across various societies. Employing a comprehensive literature review and qualitative analysis of primary and secondary sources, the research highlights how Iskandar's narrative adapts to different cultural contexts, particularly in Islamic, Persian, and Western traditions. The findings indicate that Iskandar's duality as both a conqueror and a unifier has led to a rich tapestry of stories that influence cultural pride and identity. Furthermore, the literary legacy of Iskandar is intertwined with historical narratives, showcasing how his character has been romanticized over time. This exploration reveals the complexities of Iskandar's legacy, emphasizing its relevance in contemporary discussions about nationalism and cultural identity. Overall, the study contributes to understanding how historical figures are remembered and reinterpreted, reflecting broader societal values and aspirations
