Abstract

This study examines the relevance of characterization and plot in the short story Syamsyun Al-Jabbar by Kamil Kilani to the historical narrative of Prophet Syam’un using a New Historicism approach. The research aims to reveal the similarities and connections between the narrative elements of the short story and the historical account of Prophet Syam’un, which remains relatively unknown to the public. Data for this study were collected through library research by analyzing the short story Syamsyun Al-Jabbar and various historical sources documenting the life of Prophet Syam’un. The study employs a qualitative method with parallel analysis, comparing the text of the short story with historical sources. The findings reveal the relevance of the character Syamsyun to Prophet Syam’un, Dalilah to the Prophet's wife, and Sultan to the disbelievers, along with a parallelism in the plot comprising four main stages. In conclusion, the short story Syamsyun Al-Jabbar symbolically represents the history of Prophet Syam’un, emphasizing his existence in a way that highlights his underappreciated historical significance.

Abstract

Abstract This study investigates the portrayal of gender stereotypes and women's resistance in the film Farchah (2021) by Darin J. Sallam. The research focuses on analyzing the textual representation of female stereotypes and the character Farchah's resistance to them, using Naomi Wolf's feminist theory as the analytical framework. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method combined with library research to analyze primary data in the form of dialogues and scenes from the film, as well as secondary data from relevant literature. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed systematically to identify patterns and meanings in the text. The findings reveal five dominant stereotypes imposed on women in the film: (1) women must marry early; (2) women do not need higher education; (3) women should stay close to home; (4) women are expected to cook; and (5) women are inherently weak. Additionally, the study identifies corresponding acts of resistance by Farchah, including: (1) rejecting an arranged marriage; (2) pursuing education; (3) aspiring to live in the city; (4) refusing to conform to traditional cooking roles; and (5) displaying physical and psychological courage by escaping confinement and using firearms. This research contributes to feminist film studies by demonstrating how Farchah challenges traditional gender roles and highlights women's agency in confronting societal expectations.

Abstract

The data for this study were sourced directly from the Qur'anic text of Surah al-Lahab, complemented by interpretations from classical and contemporary Tafsir literature, including Tafsir Ibn Kathir and Tafsir al-Misbah. Data were collected through textual analysis, identifying key terms such as لهب (lahab), يدا (yadaa), سيصلى (sayaslaa), الحطب (al-hatab), and مسد (masad), which serve as signifiers. These were then analyzed using semiotic techniques to reveal their denotative meanings ("flame," "both hands," "firewood," and "fiber rope") and connotative interpretations that symbolize punishment, loss, and eternal suffering. The study employed a qualitative approach, integrating linguistic and semiotic analysis to uncover layered meanings in the text. Roland Barthes' semiotic framework was utilized to deconstruct the mythological and ideological dimensions of the Surah. Findings indicate that Abu Lahab (real name: Abdul-Uzza) epitomizes loss and condemnation to Hellfire for his hostility toward the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Furthermore, his wife, complicit in spreading slander and opposing the prophetic message, faces similar punishment as described in the Surah. This research underscores the symbolic and ideological richness embedded in the Qur'anic narrative.

Abstract

This study aims to classify and analyze the emotions experienced by the main character “Faris” in the film Qalb Al-Asad (Heart of a Lion) using David Krech’s classification of emotions. The theoretical framework is based on Krech’s theory, which categorizes emotions into four types: (1) basic emotions, (2) emotions related to sensory stimulation, (3) emotions related to self-evaluation, and (4) emotions related to others. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method. The primary data consists of verbal and non-verbal expressions illustrating the emotional classifications of Faris' character. The data source is the film Qalb Al-Asad, directed by Hossam Mousa. Data collection techniques include listening, observing, classifying, and describing emotional expressions based on Krech’s theory. Content analysis is used to identify, classify, and analyze scenes in the film to understand the emotions conveyed through both verbal and non-verbal expressions. The findings reveal 38 instances of emotional classifications for the main character Faris in the film Qalb Al-Asad, categorized as follows: 21 instances of basic emotions (happiness, anger, fear, sadness), 2 instances of emotions related to sensory stimulation (pain, enjoyment), 9 instances of emotions related to self-evaluation (success, pride, guilt, regret), and 6 instances of emotions related to others (love, hatred).

Abstract

Abstract This study analyzes the character needs in the novel Ar-Rajul Alladzi Amana by Naguib Al-Kilani using Abraham Maslow's humanistic psychology theory. The study aims to identify the types of character needs and explain how these needs influence character development within the narrative. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, using primary data in the form of selected excerpts from the novel. Data collection is conducted through library research techniques, analyzed based on Maslow's five levels of needs: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. The results reveal that the characters in the novel reflect physiological needs for survival, safety needs for protection, love needs for acceptance, esteem needs for self-worth, and self-actualization needs as the pinnacle of character aspirations. The novel highlights the complexity of these needs and their impact on character interactions within their environment.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze one of the significant works in Arabic rhetoric and critical studies, Minhaj al-Bulaghā’ wa Sirāj al-Udabā’ by the Andalusian critic and poet Hazim al-Qartajanni. The study seeks to clarify and demonstrate the author's methodology in addressing linguistic, rhetorical, and critical issues, as well as his approach to analyzing and interpreting them. It highlights the integration of knowledge and methodologies through the use of induction and textual documentation as a systematic method to compile argumentative evidence. This approach underscores the uniqueness of the book's author by deconstructing its structural and semantic components and describing them to reach conclusions, analyze content, interpret it, and compare it with Arab and Greek heritage to highlight the findings. To achieve this, two research methodologies were adopted: First, the integrative approach, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of linguistic sciences and rhetorical critical issues by employing tools that study the research topic from all knowledge dimensions and eliminate barriers between specialized divisions. Second, the descriptive-analytical approach, which involves analyzing the critical issues presented in the book based on observation and research mechanisms to collect information and data from the primary source, Minhaj al-Bulaghā’ wa Sirāj al-Udabā’. The analysis aims to explain and interpret the content, draw conclusions, and provide commentary. The findings of the research reveal the diversity and complexity of critical topics addressed by al-Qartajanni. He adopts a logical perspective that integrates Greek and Arabic cultural elements in his analyses, uncovering the principles and foundations upon which rhetoric is built within the framework of a discipline supported by logic and wisdom in Arabic rhetoric.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of J.C. Catford's translation shifts in the Indonesian subtitles of the animated film "The Journey," a collaborative project between Japan and Saudi Arabia that depicts historical events in Mecca before the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, we analyzed various linguistic units such as words, phrases, clauses, and sentences from the film's subtitles to identify structure shifts, class shifts, unit shifts, and intra-system shifts. The primary objective was to assess how these shifts maintain semantic and syntactic integrity while ensuring the translation remains coherent and contextually appropriate. The findings reveal that structure shifts were the most frequent, accounting for 58% of the total shifts, followed by unit shifts (23%), class shifts (11%), and intra-system shifts (9%). These shifts were essential in adapting the subtitles to the grammatical and cultural norms of the target language (TL). The study contributes to the field of translation studies by providing practical insights and guidelines for translators, emphasizing the importance of using appropriate translation techniques to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps. Ultimately, the research enhances understanding and appreciation of translated animated films among diverse audiences.
DEIXIS AND SOCIAL RELATIONS IN SURAH YUSUF: A PRAGMATIC APPROACH AND CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS: DEIKSIS DAN RELASI SOSIAL DALAM SURAH YUSUF: PENDEKATAN PRAGMATIK DAN ANALISIS WACANA KRITIS Istajib, Istajib; Ishlah, Fauzi

Abstract

In Qur’anic linguistic studies, pragmatic aspects such as deixis are often overlooked in favor of phonological or syntactic features, despite their vital role in shaping meaning and divine messages. This study is a descriptive qualitative research that aims to analyze the use of personal, temporal, and spatial deixis in Surah Yusuf. The approach employed is pragmatic, drawing on Levinson’s theory of deixis, combined with Fairclough’s model of critical discourse analysis. Data were collected through documentation of the text of Surah Yusuf in the Qur’anic manuscript. The data analysis technique involved qualitative interpretation by identifying and categorizing types of deixis and uncovering the social and ideological meanings behind their use. The findings reveal that deixis in divine revelation is not merely linguistic but functions as a tool for constructing identity, social legitimacy, and spiritual transformation. Personal deixis reflects shifts in status and power relations; temporal deixis shapes the narrative chronology; and spatial deixis emphasizes the significance of movement and alienation. Thus, Surah Yusuf demonstrates how revelation conveys divine messages through linguistically and socially meaningful structures.

Abstract

Deixis plays a crucial role in literary discourse by linking language to its narrative and social context. Despite its significance, pragmatic studies on deixis in Arabic literary texts remain limited. This study aims to analyze the use of deixis in the Arabic short story Al-Istighāthah by Zakaria Tamer using Yule’s (1996) theory. The research focuses on identifying and interpreting three types of deixis—personal, temporal, and spatial—and how they function within the narrative. Employing a descriptive qualitative method with contextual analysis, the data were derived from selected excerpts of the short story. The findings reveal that personal deixis clarifies character roles and relationships through pronoun usage, temporal deixis constructs the chronological framework via expressions such as al-ān and past-tense verbs, while spatial deixis situates events using references like bi-al-qurbi minhumā and fawqa arḍi Maysalūn. These deixis types do not merely serve referential functions but also reflect the emotional, social, and historical dimensions of the text. This study contributes to the pragmatic-stylistic analysis of Arabic literary works by highlighting how deixis shapes meaning and narrative engagement within a culturally loaded context.
AN ANALYSIS OF INTERROGATIVE EXPRESSIONS IN THE SHORT STORY 'MAHFAZHAH' FROM THE COLLECTION 'ISN’T THAT SO?'

Abstract

This study aims to explore the function and semantic role of interrogative expressions in Yusuf Idris’s short story Mahfazhah, through the lens of Michael Riffaterre’s semiotic theory. The research investigates how these linguistic tools shift from simple interrogatives into rhetorical devices that convey psychological, social, and philosophical dimensions, thereby deepening textual interpretation and revealing hidden meanings. A qualitative descriptive method is employed, specifically content analysis. Interrogative sentences are extracted and categorized according to their types, then analyzed using Riffaterre’s semiotic concepts to uncover the subtextual meanings embedded within the narrative structure and cultural context. The findings reveal that interrogatives such as “mā” and “limādhā” reflect internal confusion; “hal” and the hamzah interrogative express existential alienation; “kayfa” and “ayna” portray economic hardship; while “man” and “ayy” articulate identity struggles and individual-society tension. Thus, interrogatives in the text become central rhetorical elements charged with symbolic and interpretive depth. This research contributes to the applied understanding of Riffaterre’s semiotics and offers an analytical model for interpreting short stories through a semiotic perspective. It supports scholars and students of Arabic literature in uncovering deeper textual meanings within a rigorous scientific framework.
