Abstract

his study investigates Kahlil Gibran’s poem Ummi by applying Ferdinand de Saussure’s structuralist framework to explore its multifaceted portrayal of motherhood. The research problem arises from the limited scholarly attention to structuralist readings of modern Arabic poetry, particularly in revealing how linguistic and symbolic systems shape thematic depth. The study aims to examine how linguistic signs and natural symbols construct the maternal figure as both a universal and cultural archetype, and to assess the broader significance of structuralist analysis in modern literary studies. Methodologically, the research employs a descriptive-analytical approach within a qualitative paradigm. Through close reading and structural analysis, the study identifies the ways in which syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations, along with binary oppositions, contribute to the cohesion and resonance of the poem. The results demonstrate that key linguistic signs—such as the Arabic word أمي (“my mother”)—alongside natural images like the sun, earth, trees, and flowers, function as semiotic units that elevate the mother beyond her biological role. These symbols present her as an embodiment of affection, resilience, and protection, while binary oppositions such as strength versus weakness and hope versus despair enhance the poem’s philosophical dimensions. The study contributes to literary scholarship by showing that structuralist analysis not only uncovers the symbolic depth of Gibran’s poetry but also situates motherhood as a cultural and cosmic principle. Ultimately, this research reinforces the continued relevance of Saussurean theory in interpreting Arabic literature and enriches critical perspectives on Gibran’s poetic vision.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of crypto assets since 2020 has generated complex challenges for Islamic economic law, particularly regarding the coherence of legal norms and fatwas across jurisdictions. Although crypto assets offer economic opportunities, regulatory and juristic responses in Muslim majority countries remain fragmented, reflecting the absence of a standardized maqāṣid al sharīʿah based evaluative framework. This study aims to analyze and compare the legal norms and fatwas governing crypto assets in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates during 2020 to 2025 from a maqāṣid-oriented perspective. The research employed a normative comparative legal approach supported by an evaluative simulation model, utilizing secondary data from publicly available regulations, fatwas, and official policy documents. The simulation operationalized key maqāṣid dimensions, namely protection of wealth, protection of intellect, and prevention of harm, across three regulatory scenarios consisting of crypto assets as means of payment, commodities or investment instruments, and objects of zakat. The results show that crypto assets receive higher normative acceptance when positioned as commodities or investment instruments, while their treatment as means of payment and zakat objects remains legally contested. Cross-jurisdictional variations reveal how differing institutional priorities and implicit maqāṣid orientations shape regulatory outcomes. These findings contribute theoretically by demonstrating the applicability of maqāṣid al sharīʿah as an operational evaluative tool in digital finance governance and practically by offering a framework to support the harmonization of fatwas and regulatory policies. Overall, the study highlights the importance of a standardized maqāṣid based approach to enhance legal coherence and certainty in regulating crypto assets within Islamic economic systems.
