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.

Abstract

The current Arabic language curriculum in Madrasahs has been designed in alignment with the Kurikulum Merdeka, which emphasizes competency-based learning, collaboration, and problem-solving. Vygotsky’s social constructivist theory is believed to address these challenges effectively, as it highlights the importance of social interaction, scaffolding, and context-based learning. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Arabic language curriculum from the perspective of Vygotsky’s constructivist theory at Madrasah Aliyah Husnul Khatimah and its impact on students’ learning motivation. The research employed a qualitative case study approach with data collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation study. Data analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, which were verified through source and technique triangulation. The implementation of the Arabic language curriculum from the perspective of Vygotsky’s constructivist theory has brought significant changes to the learning process. Teachers act as facilitators who guide students through collaborative activities such as discussions, language games, and group work. The gradual application of scaffolding enhances students’ independence and confidence in using Arabic. Social interaction among students strengthens intrinsic motivation, as they feel valued and actively engaged in the learning process. Overall, the implementation of the Arabic language curriculum through Vygotsky’s constructivist perspective has proven to have a positive impact on students’ learning motivation and language skills. This approach aligns well with the Kurikulum Merdeka, which emphasizes active, reflective, and student-centered learning.

Abstract

The representation of women in modern Arabic poetry remains a significant scholarly focus, particularly in works that challenge traditional portrayals. Nizar Qabbani reconstructs feminine identity by depicting women as emotionally complex, intellectually dignified, and spiritually grounded. This study aims to reveal the connotative meanings in five poems from Asyhadu An Lā Imra’atan Illā Anti and explain how these signs construct a multidimensional image of women. Using a qualitative descriptive method supported by library research, the study applies Roland Barthes’ semiotics—especially second-order signification—to analyze symbolic signs, diction, and imagery. Primary data consist of Qabbani’s poems, while secondary data come from literature on semiotics and Arabic poetry. The findings show that Qabbani presents women as central emotional and existential forces: caregivers, spiritual guides, poetic inspirations, and individuals shaped by cultural pressures. His poetry dismantles stereotypes and reframes femininity through symbols of inner strength, resilience, and emotional honesty. Thus, women appear as active subjects shaping meaning, identity, and human experience

Abstract

This research focuses on how identity, oppression, and resistance are depicted in the poem Biṭāqat Huwiyyah (Identity Card) written by Mahmoud Darwish, utilizing Alan Swingewood’s sociological perspective on literature. The poem was chosen for its portrayal of the lived experiences of the Palestinian community affected by conflict, occupation, and identity issues. The aim of the study is to explore how the social context and conditions, along with the author’s perspective, contribute to the poem's meaning and to uncover the different representations of identity, oppression, and resistance found within it. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, gathering data through library research and notetaking. The main data includes verses from the poem that illustrate themes of identity, oppression, and resistance. Findings indicate that identity is showcased in the poem through the acknowledgment of Arab-Palestinian identity, emotional bonds to the homeland, and shared historical consciousness. Oppression is depicted through the seizure of land, socio-economic exclusion, and bureaucratic control over personal identity. In contrast, resistance is conveyed through the use of language, symbols, and emotional expressions that challenge occupation and the negation of national identity. Thus, this research helps sociology of literature studies grow by illustrating how identity, oppression, and resistance are shown in the conversation between the author's viewpoint, the social context, and the text. Moreover, it broadens the scope of earlier research on Biṭāqat Huwiyyah, which has mainly concentrate on semiotic and linguistic aspects.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of sound imagery in Surah Al-Kahf and its contribution to the aesthetic and rhetorical miracle of the Holy Qur’an. Surah Al-Kahf is considered one of the Qur’anic chapters rich in artistic, rhetorical, and acoustic expressions that create profound emotional and spiritual effects on readers and listeners. This research employs a descriptive analytical method by examining the phonetic and rhetorical aspects of selected verses in Surah Al-Kahf, including rhythm, repetition, Qur’anic pauses (fawasil), alliteration, and tonal harmony. The findings reveal that sound imagery in Surah Al-Kahf plays a significant role in strengthening meaning, enhancing emotional influence, and creating artistic harmony between sound and semantic context. The study also demonstrates that the Qur’anic sound system contributes to portraying scenes, emotions, and narrative movements in a vivid and impactful manner. Furthermore, the integration between phonetic patterns and rhetorical structures reflects the uniqueness and miraculous nature of Qur’anic discourse. Therefore, sound imagery in Surah Al-Kahf represents an important artistic element that highlights the beauty, eloquence, and spiritual influence of the Holy Qur’an

Abstract

Studies on the semiotics of song lyrics with themes of love have been widely conducted. However, research specifically examining the construction of a child’s love for a mother in Arabic songs through Roland Barthes’ three levels of signification (denotation, connotation, and myth) remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the meanings of love represented in the lyrics of Ya Ummi by Ahmed Bukhatir and to explain the ideological and spiritual constructions embedded within them. This research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical method. The data consist of words, phrases, and clauses in the song lyrics that contain signs of love, which are analyzed using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory through the stages of denotation, connotation, and myth. The findings indicate that the meaning of love in Ya Ummi extends beyond emotional affection and encompasses longing, respect, devotion, sincere emotion, value internalization, and psychological needs. At the denotative level, the lyrics directly express affection and longing for the mother. At the connotative level, these expressions develop into symbols of emotional closeness, respect, and filial devotion. At the mythological level, the mother is constructed as the center of life, a source of moral guidance, an emotional refuge, and a figure of profound spiritual significance. This study contributes to the enrichment of Barthesian semiotic studies on Arabic song lyrics and demonstrates that religious songs can function as a medium for transmitting moral, cultural, and spiritual values that shape a child’s identity and life orientation.
