Abstract

The difference in religious cultural backgrounds encourages translators to make efforts to resist and negotiate when translating religious terms in literary works. Resistance focuses on preserving the original meaning, while negotiation adjusts the meaning to align with the target culture's understanding. Based on that translation strategy, this study analyzes the resistance and negotiation of religious identity in translating the novel Gadis Kretek into Arabic. Using a qualitative method with interpretative-comparative analysis, this research examines the religious identity in both the source and target texts, particularly through linguistic units representing religious terms. The data was taken from the novel Gadis Kretek and its Arabic translation Fatātu al-Sajāir. Data was collected by identifying religious terms in the texts, categorizing them according to an existing framework, and comparing their translations. The analysis focuses on the patterns of resistance and negotiation in translating these terms. The results reveal two primary patterns in the translation of Gadis Kretek. First, resistance, where religious terms are maintained in their original form or translated literally to preserve their sacredness. Second is negotiation, where adjustments are made to ensure the religious terms align with the target audience’s cultural understanding. Resistance is influenced by the similarity of belief systems between Indonesian Islam and Arab Islam, while negotiation arises due to differences in cultural contexts. These findings contribute to understanding religious translation in multilingual Islamic contexts and offer strategies for culturally sensitive translation practices. This study concludes that translation serves as a cultural bridge, preserving the core meaning while adjusting it to the target context.

Abstract

In contemporary Arabic literature, gender inequality and patriarchal structures remain underexplored in works written by men. While numerous studies have examined feminist themes in Arabic novels, few have investigated how male authors portray women's social positions through a sociological perspective. This study examines how Majid Sulaiman's Niswah al-Sūq al-’Atīq reflects patriarchal oppression and social realities in Arab society, utilizing Ian Watt's sociological framework of literature. This study employs qualitative descriptive methods through desk research, analyzing the novel's representation of socio-cultural realities, social structures, and gender dynamics. Niswah al-Sūq al-’Atīq serves as a data source and is analyzed using Watt's framework, which examines three dimensions: the author's social context, literature as a reflection of society, and the social function of literary works. This study analyzes key quotes from the novel, supported by news sources documenting similar cases. The research findings reveal that the female characters in Niswah al-Sūq al-’Atīq embody three interrelated dimensions of patriarchal oppression: economic inequality that traps families in a cycle of debt, gender norms that limit women's mobility and autonomy, and complex social relations in which the market simultaneously reinforces class hierarchies while enabling women's solidarity and resistance. These findings suggest that literature functions as a critical cultural document capable of exposing and challenging gender inequalities in the Middle Eastern context. This study contributes to gender-sensitive readings of Arabic fiction by demonstrating that Western literary sociological frameworks remain analytically productive when recontextualized in non-Western cultural contexts, while revealing how women exercise agency and resistance within patriarchal constraints.

Abstract

In August and September 2021, the Taliban emerged as a prominent subject in many media during the Afghan leadership transition. While prior research has examined the media's portrayal of the Taliban from diverse viewpoints and methodologies, no investigation has concentrated on their representation as the actor in the discourse.  This study aims to investigate the representation of the Taliban in mainstream media, thereby addressing the existing research gap. The Taliban news headlines from the CNN Arabic YouTube channel, from August to September 2021, were utilized as data sources in a qualitative-descriptive study methodology. Theo van Leeuwen's discourse analysis was employed to delineate actor representation by mapping inclusion and exclusion tactics. The findings demonstrate that CNN Arabic employs exclusion and inclusion in its representation of the Taliban. Exclusion arises in strategy nominalisation, whereas inclusion occurs in strategies of identification, abstraction, determination, differentiation, and categorization. CNN Arabic depicts the Taliban unfavourably through a severe and hyperbolic storyline. This representation is grounded in political objectives aimed at steering public discourse and provoking insurrection against the Taliban. These findings enhance media discourse analysis by identifying the Taliban as the primary actor, hence expanding the comprehension of representation tactics employed to influence public perception. This study highlights the importance of critical media literacy, particularly in understanding the interplay between ideology, political objectives, and the representation practices of actors in international conflict reporting.

Abstract

Literary translation involves the transfer of linguistic meaning, as well as the cultural values and identities inherent in the source text. Translation difficulties increase in the realm of indirect translation, particularly when the target text is rendered through an intermediary language. This phenomenon is observed in the translation of Andrea Hirata's novel Laskar Pelangi into Arabic, ‘Asākir Qaws Quzaḥ, utilizing the English version, The Rainbow Troops. This translation process exemplifies multi-level translation, which may result in cultural dilution. This study aims to identify and analyse the manifestations of cultural dilution in indirect translation. This research employs a qualitative descriptive methodology within the framework of a descriptive translation study. The data sources comprise three parallel texts: Laskar Pelangi as the source text, The Rainbow Troops as the intermediary text, and ‘Asākir Qaws Quzaḥ as the target text. Data were gathered via document analysis by identifying cultural terms in the form of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences, and subsequently classified according to Newmark's cultural categories. The analysis was performed comparatively to identify changes in cultural significance. This study's results reveal that cultural dilution occurs in three primary forms: cultural deletion, cultural substitution, and cultural neutralization. The three forms illustrate the systematic and cumulative erosion of Indonesian cultural distinctiveness resulting from indirect translation. This research contributes to indirect translation studies by offering an analytical framework for cultural dilution and emphasising the significance of ideological awareness in cross-cultural literary translation practices.

Abstract

Although numerous studies have examined Arabic language interference among Indonesian learners, detailed analyses integrating multiple linguistic levels within a single Acehnese-speaking institutional context remain a significant gap in the literature. This study addresses that gap by investigating cross-linguistic influence in students’ spoken Arabic at Dayah Babul Maghfirah, an Islamic boarding school in Aceh that formally enforces Arabic-only communication. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, the study analyzes naturally occurring oral interactions collected through non-participant observation over one week. Data were examined using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model. The findings reveal systematic Acehnese interference across four linguistic levels: 1) phonological substitutions of marked Arabic consonants; 2) morphological projection of Acehnese particles and affixes; 3) syntactic transfer of Acehnese-dominant structural templates; and 4) lexical insertion of discourse markers and interjections. These patterns demonstrate that local linguistic repertoires remain structurally active even within immersion-oriented institutional settings, challenging assumptions that policy-driven environments suppress first-language influence. By providing a systematic multi-level mapping of interference within a single pesantren environment, this study contributes empirically to cross-linguistic influence research and extends Indonesian interference scholarship to an underrepresented regional context. The findings offer evidence-based insight for Arabic pedagogy in multilingual religious education settings where immersion policies coexist with deeply entrenched vernacular linguistic identities.
Qur’anic intertextuality as discursive strategy in Bayt Baws by Ibrahim Muhammad Talha: A critical discourse analysis Salma Ali Salem Mansoor; Nur Hasaniyah; Zeid bin Smeer; Muhammad Yusril Firdausi Nuzula; Wala bin Subait

Abstract

Although Qur’anic intertextuality in contemporary Arabic literature has attracted increasing scholarly attention, studies examining its role in contemporary Yemeni fiction remain limited, particularly those employing critical discourse analysis as their primary analytical framework. To address this gap, this study aims to identify the forms of Qur’anic intertextuality in Bayt Baws and analyze their functions in constructing narrative meaning and articulating socio-political critique. Employing a qualitative research design grounded in Fairclough's three-dimensional critical discourse analysis, this study systematically analyses seven representative excerpts from the novel. It classifies them according to Miftāḥ's typology of Qur’anic intertextuality. The findings reveal that Qur’anic intertextuality in Bayt Baws operates through external intertextuality, in which direct Qur’anic quotations provide symbolic authority and ethical weight to the narrative, and internal intertextuality, in which indirect Qur’anic resonances engage the reader's moral consciousness through implicit thematic engagement. These mechanisms function as deliberate discursive strategies to expose political corruption, critique social hypocrisy, and foreground moral contradictions between Qur’anic ideals and contemporary Yemeni realities. This study contributes to Arabic literary studies by demonstrating how Qur’anic intertextuality serves as a tool for reshaping narrative discourse and enhancing critical awareness, while extending the scope of Qur’anic intertextuality research into the largely underexplored domain of contemporary Yemeni literature.
Beyond literal commands in prophetic messages: Reinterpreting imperative meanings in Mukhtār al-Aḥādīth al-Nabawīyah wa-al-Ḥikam al-Muḥammadīyah Nadina Sanraida Kedaton; Dayudin; Ihin Solihin

Abstract

The hadith corpus is a rich linguistic resource, but remains underexplored for its use of imperatives, whose meanings go far beyond the literal command. Prior scholarship has been predominantly confined to the Qur'anic text or to cross-thematic samples, and no study has systematically examined the meaning of imperatives in a thematic chapter of a classical hadith book, especially from the perspective of ʿilm al-maʿānī. This study addresses the gap by examining the pattern and meaning of imperatives (amr) in Mukhtār al-Aḥādīth al-Nabawīyah wa-al-Ḥikam al-Muḥammadīyah, specifically in the chapter Khātimah fī Tahdhīb al-Nufūs. Data were collected using the observation note technique and analyzed using the distributional method via substitution. A total of 103 imperatives were identified in three patterns: fiʿl al-amr (90), al-fiʿl al-muḍāriʿ bi lām al-amr (11), and ism fiʿl al-amr (2). A notable finding concerns the absence of the maṣdar, one of the four patterns in the ‘ilm al-maʿānī. This absence serves as a stylistic marker that distinguishes this thematic hadith from the Qur'anic imperative patterns. In terms of meaning, reinterpretation reveals the dominance of duʿāʾ (40), followed by ḥaqīqī (30), irshād (28), tahdīd (3), and iltimās (2). The dominance of duʿāʾ and irshād, collectively accounting for 66% of the corpus, demonstrates that imperatives function as a spiritual-pedagogical strategy rather than a binding normative command. These findings contribute to thematic hadith stylistics by establishing an empirical relationship between genre orientation and preference for imperative patterns. From an analytical framework perspective, they also emphasize the importance of the ʿilm al-maʿānī framework for reinterpreting the imperative meaning of hadith.

Abstract

The translation of Indonesian literary works into Arabic constitutes a growing yet insufficiently theorized area within cross-cultural literary exchange. While previous studies have examined the Arabic translation of Indonesian novels predominantly through linguistic lenses, no study has systematically analyzed the ideological orientations operative in the translation of cultural lexicon from Indonesian into Arabic. This study investigates domestication and foreignisation strategies in the Arabic translation of Eka Kurniawan's Cantik Itu Luka, rendered as al-Jamāl Jarḥ by Ahmad Syafi'i. Drawing on Venuti's domestication-foreignisation framework and Newmark's cultural lexicon taxonomy, this research employs a qualitative descriptive-comparative method. Data were drawn from the seventh edition of Cantik Itu Luka as the source text and al-Jamāl Jarḥ as the target text, comprising 125 cultural lexical items purposively sampled across five Newmark categories: ecology, material culture, social culture, social organization, and gestures and habits. The findings reveal that domestication predominates, accounting for 65.6% of attested strategies (82 items), while foreignisation accounts for 34.4% (43 items). Domestication prevails in the ecological and gesture categories, whereas foreignisation dominates in social organization through transliteration. These findings demonstrate that the translator's ideological orientation is contextually determined by the degree of cultural specificity embedded in each lexical item, and that foreignisation operates not merely as an ideological choice but as a structural necessity arising from the restricted cultural equivalence between Indonesian and Arabic. This study advances an Arabic-language perspective within the comparative translation scholarship on Cantik Itu Luka translations and extends the applicability of Venuti's framework to a non-European translation context.

Abstract

Although the rapid proliferation of Arabic-language digital media platforms has significantly accelerated the process of arabization of English culinary vocabulary, the underlying phonological mechanisms have not been systematically studied in a digital domain-specific context. Addressing this gap, this study identifies and analyzes patterns of vowel change from English to Arabic in the maṭbakh section of the sayidaty.net website, using al-Jawaliqi's arabization theory as the primary analytical framework. A qualitative descriptive design was adopted, with data comprising English culinary loanwords sourced from the maṭbakh rubric of sayidaty.net. Data were collected through systematic non-participant observation and documented using structured note-taking techniques, then analyzed using distributional methods and translational equivalent methods with the International Phonetic Alphabet transcription system. The results show that the nine English vowel phonemes [i], [ɪ], [e], [ɛ], [æ], [a], [ə], [ʊ], and [ʌ] produce 21 distinct phonological adaptation patterns out of 112 instances found. Three cross-phonemic rules emerged as dominant: systematic vowel lengthening as the default strategy of arabization; lexical stress sensitivity; and segmental conditionality. This research contributes to the development of a domain-specific phonological model of arabization that extends al-Jawaliqi's classical framework with the dimension of contextual conditionality, while establishing a replicable methodology for the study of vowel adaptation on Arabic digital media platforms.
Riffaterre’s semiotic reading of yā nahḍat al-’ulamā’: Ideological reverence and spiritual loyalty in pesantren poetry Imam Bonjol Juhari; Sri Wahyuni; Fadiah Alfi Laila; Delfarianto

Abstract

Although pesantren poetry occupies a distinctive place within Indonesian Islamic literary tradition, it remains largely overlooked in semiotic scholarship. The poem Yā Nahḍat al-ʿUlamāʾ, composed by KH. Fuad Hasyim, as a devotional expression of Nahdlatul Ulama's religious identity, has received no sustained academic attention whatsoever in this context. This study fills that gap by examining how the poem constructs ideological meaning through Riffaterre's semiotic framework. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, the analysis proceeds through heuristic and hermeneutic readings, identifies mechanisms of indirect expression, and reconstructs the poem's semiotic structures across its fifteen stanzas. The poem derives from a single matrix, Nahdlatul Ulama, as a source of light, protection, and supplication. This proposition is never stated outright but realized through imagery that moves steadily from the personal toward the cosmic and collective. Displacement and distortion draw on the conventions of the ghazal and the madāḥ qaṣīdah to legitimize institutional devotion, while recurring vocative formulas accumulate a performative weight comparable to dhikr. These findings demonstrate that ideological meaning in religious poetry operates through linguistic architecture rather than through explicit doctrinal statement. The study offers a replicable semiotic methodology for analyzing pesantren literature, and it illuminates how contemporary Indonesian Islamic organizations draw on poetic tradition to construct, reinforce, and sustain collective ideological identity. These findings also open productive directions for future research into the intersection of literary form, religious practice, and ideological production in Muslim societies more broadly.
