Abstract

The novel The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf tells the story of a Muslim woman, Khadra Shamy, living in a non-Muslim country, experiencing various cultural and value clashes. Mohja Kahf, the author of the novel, portrays Khadra's journey in trying to discover her true identity as a Muslim woman. This article discusses the formation of Khadra Shamy’s identity in America. The study applies a descriptive qualitative method using Stuart Hall's theory of identity. The article also takes a feminist approach to examine the issues related to women, as the process of identity formation cannot be separated from her status as a woman. The research findings show that, in her quest to find her true identity, there are barriers to women's rights, such as negative prejudice, stereotypes, the existence of a patriarchal society, and injustice. In her search for identity, she resists through several actions, including divorce, abortion, removing her hijab, and trying photography. The process of forming her identity as both an Arab and American Muslim is influenced by various factors, including the Islamic teachings from her parents, which were strict yet did not limit women’s rights, and photography, which allowed her to capture various objects and made her realize that there are many different perspectives in society.

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the phenomenon of gender discourse depicted through the stories of Moroccan immigrants in Laila Lalami's Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits (2005). In detail, this paper will discuss the subordinate of masculinity and the patriarchal system's oppression of Muslim women with Walby’s theory of patriarchy (1990). Walby defined patriarchy as a system of male-dominated societal structures and behaviors that subjugate women. This researcher uses the qualitative descriptive method to conduct scientific data analysis in order to interpret surrounding phenomena. It also focuses on challenging gender bias by utilizing the concepts of feminism through the lives of imprisoned female characters and the subordinate of masculinity in male characters. From this research, the researchers draw the result that patriarchal culture creates tension between the roles of men and women, where men's masculinity becomes marginalized due to their inability to meet society's demands and standards. On the other hand, women also become victims of the way men gain recognition from the standards imposed on them.

Abstract

Saffron Dreams, written by Shaila Abdullah, is an intriguing work of fiction that tells the story of the harsh life of a Muslim woman from the East in America after the 9/11 tragedy. The double standards applied by America are not only limited to views of Muslims but extend to Eastern cultures as a whole. It is here that the Western perspective of the East, known as Orientalism, is portrayed as though the West is superior to the East. This study examines how American Orientalism and Postcolonialism influence and shape the identity dynamics of Arissa Illahi. This research employs a descriptive and qualitative method, using Edward Said's theory of Orientalism. The findings show that Arissa experiences various dynamics related to her identity, which is based on Islamic-Pakistani culture. Orientalism, within the context of American Postcolonialism, disturbs her identity as a Pakistani Muslim, leading to a series of crises and efforts at adaptation full of uncertainty. Arissa's character plays a crucial role as a representation of Muslim women, depicting the struggle of Eastern Muslim women fighting for their rights as human beings. Her struggle serves as a means of confronting Western Orientalist views, demonstrating solidarity with Muslim women from third-world countries living in America.

Abstract

This research discusses the impact of the 9/11 tragedy on Muslims in America, especially Arab-American Muslims. The two major characters as an Arab-American Muslim get bad behavior from the surrounding community who have already given bad prejudice against them. This is clear because the perpetrators of the 9/11 tragedy were Arab terrorists who acted in the name of Islam for their actions. This qualitative study uses it as a methodological framework to explore whether there is resistance from Muslims who receive bad treatment from society. The data and evidence that has been collected comes from the novel Once in a Promised Land, as well as from studies that intersect with the topic of this research. Edward Said's Orientalism Theory is used to reveal orientalist prejudice against Arab-Americans by engaging with Postcolonial Studies. The novel challenges orientalist prejudice by showing Islamic values through its major character. This resulted in findings which revealed that the bad prejudice about Islam caused by the 9/11 tragedy was countered by good character traits. Hence, the findings show that although the two major characters get a lot of prejudice and bad behavior from the surrounding community, this novel depicts them as opponents of oriental prejudice by showing the nature of Muslims which reflects the Islamic Values.

Abstract

Since the 20th century up to the present day, the objectification of women is still a central phenomenon in feminist discourse, particularly in the Arab cultural context such as in Kuwait. One tradition that serves as a fertile ground for this issue is the practice of forced arranged marriages, as discussed in the novel "Naqah Shalihah" by Saud al-Sanousi. This novel presents issues related to the culture of forced marriages towards women in the Badui tribe, which gives rise to men's objectification of women. This research aims to analyze the various forms of male objectification of women present in the novel "Naqah Shalihah" by Saud al-Sanousi. The research method used is descriptive analytics with a feminist literary criticism approach and the theories of objectification by Martha Nussbaum and Rae Langton. In the process, data is collected and then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results of the data analysis indicate nine forms of male objectification of women, namely instrumentality, denial of autonomy, ownership, denial of subjectivity, inertness, violability, fungibility, reduction to body, and reduction to appearance.

Abstract

Bediuzzaman Said Nursi is a scholar and Sufi thinker who has compiled many books collected in Rasāil al-Nūr. One of the books in the diwan is Isyārāt al-I'jāz fī Maẓān al-Ījāz which focuses on the interpretation of the Qur'an. This study aims to determine the contextual meaning of the words firqah, ṭaifah, and qaum in the book Isyārāt al-I'jāz fī Maẓān al-Ījāz, as well as the semantic and social relationships between the three words in terms of meaning fields and meaning components. To achieve this goal the research used a qualitative method using semantic theory to analyze it. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that: 1) The contextual meaning of the word firqah is (a'ṭinā), ṭaifah is (waffiqnā) both of which are included in the context of asking for guidance, and qaum is anna khāṣiyat al hayāt kamā marra tuṣayyiru al-juz'a kullan wa al- munfarida jama'atan wa al-muqayyad muṭlaqan wa al-farda 'ālaman, or with another meaning ja'l al-mustawā al-aṣgar ila al-juz al-akbar wa al-syay al-juz'iy yuṣbih syāmilan and all of these contextual meanings include siyāq al-mawqif. 3) The meaning fields of the three words are incorporated into the type of social group, and the components of the same meaning are al-ism, al-rijāl, al,nisā,al-nās, and al-jamā'ah. The components of different meanings are al-ṣaf, al-'adad, al-qiṭ'ah, al-jays, al-juz, al-wahdah al-taṣnifiyah, arba'ah anfus, and al-'ibād. The equivalent of the term firqah is communal, ṭaifah is community, and qaum is society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types of code-switching and the factors that cause code-switching in the daily conversations of female students at Pondok Pesantren Nuruttauhid Bulukumba, South Sulawesi. Data were collected from the conversations of 20 female students during the 2021/2022 academic year using observation, interviews, and documentation methods. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study method. The results show the use of elements of Arabic, Indonesian, Bugis, and Konjo languages in the students' conversations. The forms of code-switching found include words, word repetition, phrases, and clauses. The factors causing code-switching include the use of Indonesian and regional languages in conversations, changes in situations from formal to informal, limitations in Arabic vocabulary mastery, and the tendency to communicate more quickly and practically. These findings contribute to sociolinguistic studies, particularly in the context of multilingual pesantren-based education.

Abstract

The first dictionary in the world was a dictionary compiled by al-Khalil. Al-Khalil's thoughts as an Arabic linguist are outlined in the Book of al-'Ain as a manifestation of his intelligence and analytical sharpness, so that he is able to explain and innovate. The contents of the opening of the dictionary of al-'Ain explain the function of letters in word formation. Al-Khalil groups words based on their volume, from smallest to largest. The vocabulary of the Al-'Ain dictionary is also sorted based on its phonetic aspects (makharij al-huruf). Apart from that, there were also differences of opinion regarding the first compiler of this book, resulting in various contradictions. The reason this research was conducted was to find out and uncover the ins and outs of the composition of mu'jam al-'Ain. The method used in this research is qualitative which is carried out by reducing and simplifying the data and then presenting and narrating the conclusions to provide an explanation of the core of the research carried out by the researcher. The results of this analysis show that mu'jam al-'Ain written by the pioneer of mu'jam, namely al-Khalil al-Farahidi, groups words based on the number of letters, namely from tsuna'i, tsulatsi, ruba'i, and khumasi. Al-Khalil compiled the vocabulary by ordering it according to the makharij al-huruf that he explained in his opinion, then turning the entries upside down, because the hamzah letters are letters that come out of the larynx. Apart from that, in each vocabulary there are several explanations related to sharfiyah and nahwiyah.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the inclusion strategy in constructing the news about the shooting of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. The method used is descriptive analysis with the object of research, namely news texts                          "شيرين أبو عاقلة: إدانات واسعة ودعوات لإجراء تحقيق في مقتل مراسلة الجزيرة أثناء تغطيتها لغارة إسرائيلية regarding the shooting of Shireen Abu Akleh (Palestinian-American Journalist) on BBC Arabic on May 11, 2022. The data was collected through document review method using the close reading techniques. In analyzing the data, this research applies the theory of inclusion in critical discourse analysis developed by Theo van Leeuwen. The results of the analysis show that BBC Arabic attempted to provide comprehensive and balanced coverage of Shireen Abu Akleh by focusing on the victim. However, this study also highlights the possible interests in the presentation of the news presented in the construction of the news. By identifying such patterns through inclusion strategies, this research provides a reminder to readers of the importance of critically observing news, considering context, and understanding potential biases that may be included in the presentation of news by international media such as BBC Arabic.
