Abstract

The culture of consumption among contemporary Muslims demonstrates that religious expression is no longer confined to ritual observance but is increasingly manifested through symbols, Islamic lifestyles, and consumption choices that affirm particular forms of religious identity. While previous scholarship has extensively examined Muslim consumption in relation to religiosity, halal products, and Islamic fashion, limited attention has been devoted to understanding religious piety as a commodity constructed through everyday consumption practices. This study seeks to critically examine how values of piety are socially constructed and how the mechanisms of religious commodification operate within a Hijabersmom Community (HMC) in Deltasari, Sidoarjo. To capture this social reality, the study employs a qualitative-interpretive approach through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and the examination of community documents. Theoretically, the analysis is situated within a political economy framework by synthesizing perspectives on the commodification of religion, consumption practices among the Muslim middle class, and the expanding dynamics of the Islamic lifestyle economy. The findings indicate that the construction of piety within the community manifests through three principal dimensions: ritual observance, social relations (muamalah), and symbolic expression, particularly through the adoption of shar‘i fashion as a marker of collective identity. Furthermore, the community functions not merely as a spiritual sanctuary but also as a dynamic economic arena in which commodities, including Muslim fashion, culinary products, and household necessities, are exchanged among members. This study concludes that contemporary religious communities increasingly operate as hybrid social spaces where spirituality, middle-class identity, and economic interests intersect within the everyday lives of urban Muslim women.

Abstract

The conflict dynamics in the Middle East involving the United States, Israel, and Iran have generated extensive global controversy. Beyond triggering political and economic instability in various countries, this conflict has also evolved into a discursive arena characterized by competing narratives that attract international public attention. In this context, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has frequently delivered statements via social media regarding the ongoing situation and his country’s stance in relation to Iran, often aimed at garnering global sympathy. Conversely, the Iranian spokesperson, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, has consistently responded to such statements, which are perceived as marginalizing Iran. Although conveyed in a predominantly informative tone, these responses implicitly construct Iran as a resilient and capable nation prepared to confront conflict. This study employs the framework of M. A. K. Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), with a particular focus on transitivity analysis to uncover the meanings realized within each clause of Zolfaghari’s discourse. The data consist of speech transcripts delivered by Zolfaghari, which are subsequently analyzed through clause-level segmentation. This analysis aims to identify the types of processes, participants, and circumstances employed in representing discourses of resistance, as well as to reveal how such linguistic constructions function as strategic tools of political communication within the context of international conflict.
