Abstract

This study explores the use of satire as a form of social critique in Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal (1729), a canonical satirical essay that responds to the severe poverty and political oppression in 18th-century Ireland. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative method with M.H. Abrams’ theory of satire as the analytical framework, focusing on four key elements: parody, irony, allegory, and humor. Through close reading and contextual analysis, the study reveals how Swift weaponizes rhetorical strategies to expose the moral failures of British colonial rule, the economic exploitation of the Irish poor, and the inhumanity of utilitarian logic. Findings show that Swift employs layered irony and grotesque parody to mimic policy discourse, turning bureaucratic language into a tool of condemnation. Allegorical expressions and dark humor further intensify the satirical impact, forcing readers to confront the ethical absurdity of commodifying human lives. The study concludes that Swift’s satire is not merely literary art, but a powerful moral act of resistance that remains relevant to contemporary critiques of injustice, inequality, and systemic indifference.

Abstract

This study examines spiritual struggle and moral guidance among Muslim diaspora as represented in Sami Yusuf’s song lyrics using a qualitative descriptive method. As Bryman (2004:269) states, qualitative research prioritizes interpretation of textual meaning rather than quantification; therefore, this study analyzes selected lyric excerpts from Came To Me, Make Me Strong, and You through the framework of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah, specifically ḥifẓ al-dīn (protection of faith), ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of psychological well-being), and ḥifẓ al-‘aql (protection of intellect). In line with Wahid (2023), Maqāṣid provides a contextual ethical approach to contemporary challenges, while Auda emphasizes its orientation toward human welfare (maṣlaḥah). The findings show that Sami Yusuf’s lyrics portray faith restoration amid disorientation (ḥifẓ al-dīn), emotional resilience and inner healing under pressure (ḥifẓ al-nafs), and moral reasoning guided by divine orientation within ideological plurality (ḥifẓ al-‘aql). Overall, the songs function as contemporary Islamic literary texts that offer spiritual and moral guidance for Muslim diaspora navigating modern uncertainties.
