Abstract

Al-Raḥīq al-Makhtūm is a globally recognized and authoritative biography of the Prophet Muhammad. Translating its religious terms requires precise translation to avoid conceptual misunderstandings. While previous studies have extensively examined religious translation strategies, ideologies, and equivalence, research explicitly investigating micro-level mechanisms of semantic broadening through semantic decomposition remains scarce. This article examines the phenomenon of semantic broadening in the translation of Arabic religious terms in al-Raḥīq al-Makhtūm and its Indonesian translated version, Sirah Nabawiyyah. The study aims to identify the forms of semantic broadening and to examine the factors underlying this phenomenon. It employs a descriptive qualitative method incorporating a comparative approach. The data are analyzed using semantic decomposition to compare terms between the source and target texts. Findings indicate that semantic broadening occurs consistently through the omission of diagnostic semantic features in the source language. Of the ten categories identified, five are examined in depth: eschatological terms, specialized religious activities, religious figures, religious morals and ethics, and revelatory terms. Four main factors underlie this phenomenon: the demand for natural collocational patterns in the target language, the translator’s communicative strategies through generalization and modulation techniques, lexical gaps, and differences in cultural and religious contexts. The findings confirm that semantic broadening is not a translation error, but rather a natural consequence of cross-cultural translation aimed at maintaining textual acceptability and readability. Theoretically, this study demonstrates that semantic decomposition effectively traces meaning shifts in religious texts. Practically, it guides translators of Islamic history to prioritize general equivalents for readability over rigid literalism.

Abstract

Despite numerous studies have been conducted on contemporary Arab political speeches, the application of isti'ārah as an analytical category, particularly in discourse addressing the Palestinian issue, remains underexplored. Furthermore, prior work drawing on Arabic balāghah theory has concentrated predominantly on religious texts, poetry, and literary works, leaving the official speeches of Arab leaders largely unexamined. This study addresses that gap by identifying the types and structures of isti'ārah and examining the rhetorical and ideological representations they construct across five official Arabic speeches delivered by Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Palestine. A qualitative textual analysis grounded in Arabic balāghah was employed. Non-literal expressions were identified and classified as either isti'ārah taṣrīḥiyyah or isti'ārah makniyyah through the identification of musta'ār lahu, musta'ār minhu, qarīnah, and al-jāmi', and subsequently mapped into representational patterns. Fourteen isti'ārah expressions were identified: five instances of isti'ārah taṣrīḥiyyah (35.71%) and nine of isti'ārah makniyyah (64.29%), indicating a predominance of implicit comparison. Four interrelated representational patterns emerged: Palestine as a suffering yet morally central issue; conflict as destructive and dehumanizing violence; morality as historical judgment and lost values; and political resolution as restoration, reconciliation, and reconstruction. Theoretically, the findings demonstrate that isti'ārah operates not as mere rhetorical ornamentation but as a structured linguistic strategy that concretizes political realities, intensifies moral evaluation, and legitimizes diplomatic solutions. Practically, the findings affirm the analytical relevance of classical balāghah to the study of contemporary Arab political discourse.
Writing the resistance on the eve of martyrdom: Rhetorical features in Hiba Abū Nadā's last Facebook posts (Gaza, 7-20 October 2023) Wartiman; Mhd. Rizalman; Laurence Lingat Ramos; Mohammad Ridhan Alhafidz; Hajar Essamlali

Abstract

During the final fourteen days of her life, Hiba Abū Nadā published 67 posts on her personal Facebook page from within the Gaza bombing zone, a corpus that closed on the day she was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Research on balāghah has so far concentrated on resistance literature composed at some remove from the events it depicts, leaving unexamined how the classical Arabic rhetorical system operates when produced in real time under genuine mortal threat. Addressing that gap, this qualitative descriptive-analytical study identifies the balāghah figures that predominate in Abū Nadā's posts, drawing on the classical framework of al-Jurjānī and Ibn al-Athīr to classify and decompose three figurative units: isti'ārah 'metaphor', kināyah 'metonymy', and tashbīh 'simile'. The analysis identified 39 figures: 20 isti'ārah (11 tashrīḥiyyah, 9 makniyyah), 9 kināyah, and 10 tashbīh. Isti'ārah predominates through a shift of wahān 'tenor' from the concrete to the existential domain; tashbīh balīgh prevails by collapsing comparative distance; and kināyah, although least frequent, proves the most argumentatively dense. These findings constitute early textual evidence of how Arabic balāghah functions when a trained writer confronts her own mortality in real time, extending the tradition of Palestinian resistance literature into a register that earlier generations, writing from exile, were never required to occupy.
Pragmatic acts and bilingual audience design: A critical pragmatics analysis of Al Jazeera Arabic and English in the 2026 Iran–Israel–US conflict report Awliya Rahmi; Mouna Bechlem Bouratoua; Aya Qasim Hasan; Jarot Wahyudi; Ahmed Shbair

Abstract

How a single media institution constructs divergent meanings for two linguistically distinct audiences constitutes a salient question in media studies, particularly where that institution operates at the intersection of Arab and international news. Al Jazeera's Arabic (AJA) and English (AJE) services have attracted considerable scholarly attention as paradigmatic instances of this phenomenon. Previous research has mostly approached both media through framing theory or critical discourse analysis, neglecting the pragmatic mechanisms that direct meaning for different readers. Jacob Mey's critical pragmatics, through its concept of the pragmatic act (pract), affords a more precise entry point into this gap. Employing this framework for comparative analysis, the study examines AJA and AJE coverage of the Iran-Israel-US conflict across five thematic events (February-June 2026). Twenty purposively sampled news articles were coded deductively using Mey's six pract categories: alluding, implying, hinting, voicing, quoting, and echoing. Both AJA and AJE rely most heavily on voicing and implying pract, but diverge in a distinctive secondary pract: AJA layers echoing pract onto this shared foundation, activating Arab collective memory and positioning readers within a solidarity-oriented frame, while AJE layers hinting pract, distributing epistemic authority through formally qualified attribution to cultivate critical consensus among a heterogeneous readership.
Fiction as travelogue: Memory, exilic identity, and the relational construction of alterity in Sa’di Yusuf’s Nīqūsiyā Shinta Fitria Utami; Nety Novita Hariyani; Habil Abyad; Hefi Al Hifdhi

Abstract

Travel writing has traditionally been studied through non-fictional texts, leaving a significant gap in understanding how fictional narratives can also function as a medium of travel representation. This study responds to that gap by examining the Arabic short fiction Nīqūsiyā as a work of travel writing, applying Carl Thompson's travel-writing framework, which emphasizes reporting the world, revealing the self, and representing the other. The study addresses how fictional narratives construct travel experiences and represent foreign space, exilic identity, and alterity within the framework of travel writing. Using a qualitative interpretive method and textual analysis, this research analyzes narrative strategies, empirical details, and comparative representation. The data in this study consist of words, phrases, and sentences from the short story. At the same time, data were collected through repeated close readings of the text, followed by systematic documentation of segments representing the travel narrative. The findings show that the world is reported through administrative, geographical, and sensory details that create a sense of factuality while reflecting the narrator's subjective framing of reality. By revealing the self, the journey serves as a medium for emotional and existential transformation, in which memory and exile reshape the narrator's self-awareness and identity. Meanwhile, the other is represented through contrasts between the foreign space and the narrator's space of origin, showing that alterity is relationally constructed through cultural memory and personal experience. This study implies that in fictional travel writing, exilic identity and alterity are relationally constructed through the interplay of memory, space, and subjective experience.
Can the abject woman's body speak? Power and voice in Adab am Qillat Al-Adab by Nawal El Sa’dawi Nur Huda; Fathul Mufid; Ulya

Abstract

Although Nawal El Sa’dawi's novels have been extensively studied, the bodily and affective mechanisms of her short fiction remain largely unexamined. This gap matters because bodily shame, fear, and obedience often naturalize patriarchal authority more effectively than explicit coercion. This study closes that gap by analyzing how patriarchal morality, religious anxiety, class hierarchy, and racialized exclusion make women's bodies experience shame, sin, fear, obedience, and alienation in three short stories from Sa’dawi's Adab am Qillat Al-Adab, read through Julia Kristeva's theory of abjection. The study employs a qualitative, psychoanalytic, literary-critical design, with data drawn from close reading and cross-story comparison of bodily signs. The findings show three connected patterns. First, women's speech about the body, money, sex, and the womb is treated as a threat to propriety in Adab am Qillat Al-Adab. Second, Hālat Fatāh min Daftar Aḥwāl 'Iyādatī turns piety, fatherly authority, and public gaze into bodily fear. Third, Laysa Lahā Makān fī al-Jannah presents the poor black female body as obedient, hungry, overworked, and excluded even from imagined paradise. Across the three stories, power becomes lived through bodily affect. These findings indicate that abjection in Sa’dawi's short fiction is not only a private feeling of disgust or guilt but a social process that converts women's bodies into morally suspect, economically valued, racially marked, and symbolically expelled bodies. The study contributes to Arab feminist literary criticism by showing how Sa’dawi transforms bodily shame into a critique of power, extending her literary legacy well beyond the novel form itself.
