Abstract

This study aims to provide an academic critique of the phenomenon of religious horror cinema in Indonesia by analyzing the film Munkar (2024). The research addresses the theoretical issue of commodifying sacred texts within the cinematic realm. Drawing on Vladimir Propp's narrative analysis and Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics, the study examines how verses from the Qur'an are transformed from theological authorities into elements that evoke horror. The narrative analysis identifies 24 Proppian functions that position sacred verses as magical agents driving the plot. From a semiotic perspective, symbolic deconstruction emerges through the icon of the red mukena and the subversion of the mosque's sacred space, leading to the portrayal of a religious devil. The study's contribution confirms a pattern of desacralization of Islamic symbols, blurring the line between the sacredness of the text and the interests of the entertainment industry. These findings offer a new perspective on how popular media reconfigures discourses of morality and destiny through provocative horror imagery. Propp’s analysis reveals 24 narrative functions within the film’s plot, while Peirce’s semiotics examines icons, symbols, and indices related to these verses—such as Herlina’s red clothing, the mosque as a site of terror, prostration facing away from the qibla, and the roles of water, prayer beads, and the Qur’an in confronting evil forces. The results show that the film does not merely use Qur’anic verses as decorative or proselytizing elements, but also as tools to reinterpret Islamic values, depict the arrogance of the devil, illustrate the consequences of rejecting destiny, and convey the law of cause and effect (retribution) for unjust actions. However, there is also potential for a shift in meaning or commodification

Abstract

The legal school of Isḥāq b. Rāhawayh (d. 238/853) did not survive as a distinct tradition in later generations, yet it remains a significant part of early Islamic intellectual history, especially in the third century AH. Although his school disappeared, aspects of Ibn Rāhawayh’s legal thought are still preserved in works of fiqh and ḥadīth, particularly in Sunan al-Tirmidhī. This article seeks to compile and analyze his legal opinions as recorded in that work and to examine their characteristics in relation to ḥadīth and legal reasoning. Through a heuristic examination of Sunan al-Tirmidhī combined with comparative and content analysis, the study finds that most of Isḥāq b. Rāhawayh’s legal opinions are firmly grounded in ḥadīth, although some rely on weak reports. It also shows that his views display a strong textual orientation and reflect notable affinities with the legal reasoning of al-Shāfi‘ī (d. 204/820) and Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal (d. 241/855). This is evident in legal arguments that do not exhibit rigid doctrinal boundaries, but instead mirror broader patterns of juristic reasoning among scholars of his time. At the same time, his occasional reliance on weak ḥadīth and his departure from majority positions in several legal issues distinguish his thought from that of many of his contemporaries. This study thus contributes to recovering a neglected strand of early Islamic legal thought and highlights that diversity was not an anomaly, but a constitutive feature of the Islamic intellectual tradition.
