Abstract

This study aims to examine Bint al-Shathi’s thought and interpretive approach in her reading of the Qur’an. The research is motivated by the limited scholarly attention to her methodological distinctiveness, particularly her integration of linguistic and literary analysis in Qur’anic exegesis. Employing a qualitative approach with a library-based research design, this study collects data by thoroughly reviewing Bint al-Shathi’s works, especially At-Tafsir al-Bayani li al-Qur’an al-Karim, along with supporting literature such as books, journal articles, and other academic publications related to the research focus. Data were analyzed using content analysis to identify key concepts, interpretive patterns, and analytical frameworks used by the author. The findings reveal that Bint al-Shathi’ adopts a distinctive exegetical method that departs significantly from earlier mufassirun. Her interpretation is characterized by a strong emphasis on Arabic linguistic structures and literary aesthetics, resulting in readings that are both lyrical and metaphorical. This linguistic–literary approach allows her to highlight the expressive power, coherence, and rhetorical depth of Qur’anic discourse. The study contributes to Qur’anic studies by offering a deeper understanding of Bint al-Shathi’s intellectual legacy and demonstrating the relevance of her method for contemporary exegetical scholarship, particularly in bridging linguistic analysis and literary appreciation in tafsir

Abstract

This study addresses the linguistic problem of understanding Qur’anic expressions through their morphological structures, particularly in the thirtieth part (Juz ‘Amma) of the Holy Qur’an. Derivation (al-ishtiqāq) plays a crucial role in enriching Arabic vocabulary and revealing layers of meaning embedded in Qur’anic discourse. The research aims to examine the structures of derivatives found in selected verses, identify their linguistic functions, and clarify how these forms contribute to interpreting the intended meanings of the text. Employing a descriptive–analytical method, the study begins with a preamble outlining the origins of derivation in both linguistic and terminological perspectives, its importance in the development of Arabic, and its major types. The analysis involves classifying derivative forms and examining their semantic implications within Qur’anic contexts. The findings show that derivative analysis provides an effective interpretive tool across linguistic levels, enabling a deeper and more precise comprehension of Qur’anic meanings. All major derivative forms appear in the examined verses except the instrumental noun (ism al-ālah). The study also highlights the centrality of the lexical root, which constitutes the semantic core from which morphological patterns emerge, predominantly based on the triliteral root system (faʿala). This research contributes to Qur’anic linguistic studies by demonstrating how derivational structures enhance textual interpretation

Abstract

Arabic grammar studies on ḥarf al-jarr in non-Qur’anic Islamic texts used in educational contexts remain limited, despite their important role in shaping relational meaning within sentences. This study aims to analyze the grammatical functions and semantic implications of ḥarf al-jarr in the book Dinul Islam by Umar bin Abdurrahman. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using library research methods grounded in Arabic grammatical (nahwu) analysis. The data consisted of linguistic units containing ḥarf al-jarr collected from the entire text of Dinul Islam. Data were analyzed through classification of preposition types, examination of their functions within jar–majrūr constructions, and interpretation of contextual meanings based on syntactic relations and semantic usage. The findings show that the prepositions ‘alā, ilā, bi-, min, and fī exhibit dominant grammatical and semantic tendencies related to obligation, direction, attachment, causality, source, and contextual relations. These functions contribute not only to sentence structure but also to the formation of normative and theological meanings in the text. This study contributes to Arabic linguistic studies by providing an integrative understanding of the relationship between grammatical structure and meaning construction in non-Qur’anic Islamic discourse

Abstract

Discourse analysis is a systematic approach to examining language use in texts and contexts in order to uncover the meanings, values, and messages embedded within them. One of the challenges in literary studies is understanding how an author’s writing style conveys moral values and influences readers’ interpretations. This study addresses that issue by analyzing the moral messages presented in the novel Usfur min al-Syarqi and exploring how the author’s distinctive discourse style contributes to the delivery of those values. The purpose of this research is to identify, describe, and interpret the moral values contained in the novel through a discourse analysis perspective. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method based on library research. Data were collected from the novel as the primary source and supported by relevant books, journal articles, and other scholarly references. The techniques used in data collection included intensive reading, observation, and note-taking to identify discourse patterns and moral themes throughout the narrative. The findings reveal that the novel contains various moral values related to humanity, life struggles, social relationships, and spiritual awareness. These messages are conveyed through a compelling storyline, expressive language, and narrative structures influenced by the author’s personal experiences. The analysis also shows that the novel encourages readers to view life as a dynamic process characterized by changing circumstances and emphasizes that material wealth should not be regarded as the ultimate purpose of life. This study contributes to the field of Arabic literary studies by demonstrating the relevance of discourse analysis in uncovering moral dimensions within literary works and providing a deeper understanding of the relationship between language, narrative style, and ethical values.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of character education values and the social dynamics of Saudi Arabian women in the film From the Ashes through Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic approach. The study is motivated by the limited number of semiotic studies examining the representation of Saudi women in contemporary Middle Eastern cinema, particularly those connecting cinematic signs with character education and social transformation within educational settings. Previous studies have primarily focused on cultural and feminist perspectives, leaving the relationship between symbols, social meanings, and women’s identity transformation insufficiently explored. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method using Peirce’s semiotic framework by identifying icons, indexes, and symbols embedded in scenes, dialogues, character expressions, costumes, and social settings portrayed in the film. Data were collected through direct observation of the film available on Netflix and analyzed based on the relationship between sign, object, and interpretant. The findings reveal that the film represents character education values through symbols of moral courage, responsibility, female solidarity, and critical attitudes toward social pressures within educational environments. Furthermore, the film portrays Saudi women as negotiating between patriarchal traditions and modernity, reflected in school spaces, institutional regulations, social interactions, and visual depictions of social control. The novelty of this study lies in its semiotic interpretation of Saudi women’s representation through the lens of character education and social change. This research contributes to expanding film semiotics studies by highlighting the role of cinema as a medium for constructing social meaning and reflecting cultural transformation in contemporary Arab society.
