<![CDATA[This paper examines how the US-Pakistani Muslimahs or Muslim women live in the US after US Invasion of Iraq (2003) in Shaila Abdullah’s Saffron Dreams (2009). In the novel, Abdullah depicts her characters as victims of the 9/11 attacks to challenge US dominance in 9/11 narratives, which tend to show how the US becomes the victim, instead of the perpetrator of the US invasion of Iraq. By engaging with postcolonialism and 9/11 studies, this paper questions US anti-Muslim racism, which tends to associate Muslims with terrorism by exploring the ideas of trauma of being attacked by US extremists. This paper found that Abdullah’s Saffron Dreams depicts US Pakistani Muslimah struggling to seek social justice and US belonging. In doing so, this novel resists anti-Muslim racism by depicting its protagonists as facing several trauma, which is ironically continued by her next generation, who is suffering from multiple born defect representing their endless traumatic experiences living in the US after US invasion of Iraq. By exploring US-Pakistani-Muslimah stories, this novel suggests how the Pakistani Muslim diaspora not only struggles to live in the US after the US invasion of Iraq but also faces multiple trauma, especially being attacked by US extremists. This multiple trauma work to question US-trauma centric in dominant narratives. Thus, it is important to investigate traumatic stories from marginal experiences to undermine dominant narratives, which tend to exclude marginal memories after US invasion of Iraq from US belonging.]]>

<![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to reconnoiter the effects of library personnel work attitude and motivation as correlates of job performance in a survey of public libraries in Kwara state, Nigeria. This study employed a descriptive survey method of correlational type. This study applied an enumeration survey technique or total census to all library personnel in a nominated public library in Kwara State of Nigeria. This study employs three objectives to guide the study. Findings showed that library personnel had a good attitude about their jobs, and library personnel work motivation showed that employees in the library are provided with good working materials, and their workplace's management provides library personnel with opportunities for training and development. Also, the study on the job performance of library personnel found that library personnel set reasonable priorities for task completion, and personnel is always on time for deadlines and completion of tasks. Conclusively, years of experience at a job correlate significantly with job performance, whereas work attitudes and motivation do not correlate significantly. Based on the results, this study suggests a good relationship between library management and personnel to ensure a positive working attitude. Also, the library personnel should be able to establish a good working relationship to reduce the possibility of turnover.]]>

<![CDATA[Society, which is a social structure, has its dynamics and can undergo significant changes. Society 5.0 is a new community concept promoted by Japan to be a solution to various social problems. Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi is one of the Muslim scholars who provide the concept of social order, one of which is the concept of the ummah. The purpose of this research is to find the relevance between Ummah and Society 5.0. The researcher uses a philosophical approach by using a qualitative research design or using a literature study by presenting a written presentation and the data that is analyzed and described. The results of this study are: the concept of ummah which is owned by Al-Faruqi and Society 5.0 is universalism which means that it is not particular and that all humans are the same, there are no differences in ethnicity, race, or nation. The concept of ummah Al-Faruqi and Society 5.0 has the concept of totalism which requires each individual to actualize divine values and will. The concept of ummah Al-Faruqi and Society 5.0 has the concept of independence where each individual has the freedom to will and will do what he does in realizing the values of life without any coercion. From these three concepts, the Islamic Society 5.0 concept was created which is characterized by a religious, intellectual, and observative society.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper examines the strategies that Sufis adopted during covid-19 crisis which are journey and seclusion: two strategies that characterize Sufi’s behaviour. Using qualitative research, this paper argues that though the policies enacted in the time of covid-19 has led humanity into herd immunity in which bodies have been subjected to a set of improvised political decisions, Sufi bodies are immune bodies by nature, as they are characterized by an inner immunity that makes of them either in a state of journey or in a state of seclusion. Drawing from Rosi Braidotti (2011) ’s poststructuralist notion of nomadic subjectivity, this paper also states that the Sufi can be seen as a ‘nomadic subject’ able to experience not only physical journey shaping the move from one territory to another but also a kind of non-physical journey pertaining to spiritual ascension shaping the path to God. As a result, Sufi discourse is a site for fostering communal immunity where individuals are provided with strategies to transcend not only the pandemic as a temporary disaster but also the problems of life as well as the challenges menacing humankind.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examined self-efficacy and job motivation as determinants of the performance of library staff in universities in Southwest Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey design, and a sample of 180 library staff was selected across the three selected university libraries using a total enumeration sampling technique. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 180 respondents, out of which 176 copies of the questionnaire were returned and found usable for the analysis. Descriptive statistics (frequency counts, simple percentages) were used to analyze data on the six research questions, while inferential statistics (multiple regression) was used to test the null hypothesis. The study found that the performance of library staff in the selected university libraries was high, even as they held a positive opinion about themselves. Wages and salary, appreciation, promotion, benefits, and allowances were the major factors that motivated them to perform their jobs. Self-efficacy and job motivation significantly influenced their performance. The findings also revealed that unwillingness by library authorities to train staff for the future, inadequate funding to support career development programs, poor organizational climate in the library, lack of complete senior management commitment and support, and uncertainty of library staff about the future of their career were the major barriers that affected their job performance. The study established that the combination of self-efficacy and job motivation did not jointly determine the library staff performance. The study recommended that library staff should be adequately motivated continually to boost their morale for efficiency and higher productivity.]]>

<![CDATA[This research probes the ramifications of globalization on Muslim identity in Singapore since its independence in 1965, concentrating on the four economic development phases pivotal to the nation's growth. It concurrently traces the post-independence evolution of Muslim life, specifically in religious practices and social norms. Singapore's globalization-driven economic ascent, its status as a developed nation, and its competitive business environment stand as evident outcomes. However, the Muslim communities grapple with the challenge of adapting to global shifts while preserving their Islamic identity. The study emphasizes the imperative of comprehending the intricate interplay between globalization and Muslim identity in Singapore. Employing the historical method comprising heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography, the research analyzes historical records and relics. Findings underscore the instrumental role of technology and social media in shaping Muslim identity, facilitating the dissemination of religious information and fostering global connectivity within Muslim communities. While the Singapore government's multiculturalism policy aims for interfaith harmony and recognizes the Muslim community's integral role, restrictions on public expressions of religious identity reflect the state's secular stance. This research offers a profound understanding of the complex dynamics between globalization and Muslim identity in Singapore, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities encountered by Muslim communities in safeguarding their cultural and religious diversity amidst the ever-evolving global landscape.]]>

<![CDATA[This research investigates how Muslim women perform at Bajawa Cafe, influenced by the construction of Islamic teachings and gender roles. The study aims to illustrate how Muslim women are shaped by societal production and regulation, employing qualitative methods through ethnographic and netnographic approaches. It examines the interplay of Islamic teachings and gender norms to analyze the construction of Muslim women's identities within the context of Bajawa Cafe. Data was collected through observations of Hijabi Muslim women's performances at Bajawa Cafe in Kemang, in-depth interviews, data visualizations, and social media analysis. The findings reveal that these women, through activities such as halal parties, challenge the traditional Islamic teachings and gender expectations imposed on them. Bajawa Cafe serves as a space where they navigate and negotiate these societal constructs. The results suggest that Muslim women at Bajawa Cafe resist the societal and religious constraints shaped by Islamic teachings and gender roles. Their performances reflect an ongoing process of negotiation, demonstrating agency in redefining their identities. In conclusion, Bajawa Cafe has emerged as a significant space for Muslim women to express and reconcile their interpretations of Islamic teachings and gender norms.]]>

<![CDATA[A writer’s distinctive narrative style, often referred to as their primary norm, shapes their consistent use of language. However, deliberate deviations from this norm can serve significant literary purposes. These deliberate deviations are termed as their secondary norm. This change of language style is believed to hold a specific intention on the part of the writer. This research aims to investigate Joseph Conrad’s instances of internal deviation in his novel The Secret Agent, and how these deviations contribute to the literary effects of the novel. Conrad’s primary norm is characterized by a sentence-complexity style, while his secondary norm involves a shift towards a sentence-simplicity style. To clarify these norms, the study employs the clause complexes theory within the framework of Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics. Employing a descriptive qualitative research approach along with a library research method, this study collects and analyses data to uncover the instances of deviation and explore their literary implications. By examining Conrad’s intentional internal deviations, this research seeks to describe the underlying motives and the impact of these deviations on the overall reading experience of The Secret Agent. Through this investigation, it is found out that Conrad’s use of sentence simplicity style contributes to the novel’s literary effects, namely building the foreshadowing and suspense, developing the character, and setting the atmosphere of the novel.]]>

<![CDATA[Slavery has been a tradition from the Jahiliyyah era to the present. The film “Bilal A New Breed of Hero”, tells the story of the Arab Jahiliyyah model of slavery which can be used as a lesson in the toughness of a Bilal who is eventually crowned a hero. Even though this film tells of slavery in the past, the main message of this film is the desire to eradicate slavery from the face of the earth which can be used as a valuable lesson now and in the future. This paper is dedicated to examining the film “Bilal A New Breed of Hero” from the aspect of its content and main messages that are still relevant today. The issue of slavery still occurs in the modern era, only in different forms and models. This topic is interesting to study because the issue of slavery is still being discussed in various forums and media. The method used in this research is content analysis. Finally, the researcher found that there were 3 categories of data as follows, 3 data which described the beginning of Bilal and Ghufairah as slaves, 3 data which described the slave trafficking, and 8 data which described the treatment of masters towards slaves.]]>

<![CDATA[This qualitative study employs an explanatory case study methodology to unravel metaphor translation procedures, drawing from Peter Newmark's insights and Eugene Nida's translation equivalence theory. Unveiling a captivating dance between languages, the research showcases prevalent procedures such as replacing source language images with standard ones in the target language and converting metaphors into senses. The results illuminate how these techniques offer a distinct interpretation in the target language, ensuring a nuanced conveyance of the original message. A particularly enchanting aspect is the prevalence of dynamic equivalence, where numerous metaphors transform to present the essence in a fresh light without mimicking the source language. This deliberate departure from literal translation strives for a natural and evocative rendition, providing readers with a novel perspective on the narrative. In essence, this study takes readers on a concise yet compelling journey through the art of metaphorical translation, demonstrating how linguistic choices bridge cultural gaps while preserving the emotive essence of "Sad Girls." It offers a succinct window into the delicate balance between fidelity and creativity, showcasing the enriching possibilities that lie within the realm of cross-cultural literary translation.]]>
