Abstract

Research on tasybih (simile) in Arabic literature has predominantly focused on modern literary works, while the characteristics of tasybih in classical Arabic poetry, particularly the Mu‘allaqāt of Imruʾ al-Qays, remain underexplored. This study aims to identify the types, purposes, and dominant patterns of tasybih in two qaṣidahs by Imruʾ al-Qays, namely Qifā Nabki Min Dhikrā Ḥabībin wa Manzili and Liman Ṭalalun Bayna al-Judayyati wa al-Jabali, from the perspective of ʿilm al-bayān. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation and note-taking techniques. The data consisted of poetic verses containing tasybih, which were analyzed by identifying the elements of tasybih, classifying its types based on the theory of Ali al-Jarim and Mustafa Amin, and examining their rhetorical purposes. The findings reveal 14 instances of tasybih, comprising eight instances in Qifā Nabki Min Dhikrā Ḥabībin wa Manzili and six instances in Liman Ṭalalun Bayna al-Judayyati wa al-Jabali. The dominant type is tasybih mursal mujmal, while the most frequent rhetorical purpose is tazyīn al-musyabbah (embellishing the subject of comparison). Furthermore, the objects of comparison are predominantly drawn from the natural environment and the daily life of pre-Islamic Arab society, creating vivid visual imagery, strengthening emotional expression, and enhancing the aesthetic quality of the poems. This study contributes by mapping the dominant patterns of tasybih, identifying its rhetorical tendencies, and describing the characteristics of comparative imagery in Imruʾ al-Qays's Jahiliyyah poetry, thereby enriching the study of ʿilm al-bayān and the stylistics of classical Arabic literature.

Abstract

Authoritarian oppression often silences freedom, yet simultaneously triggers resistance tactics from the oppressed. This dynamic is depicted in Alaa Al-Aswany’s novel Jumhuriyyatu Ka’anna, set during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. This descriptive qualitative research aims to analyze the forms of open and closed resistance, along with their underlying factors, using a sociology of literature approach and James C. Scott's theory. Results indicate that open resistance manifests through demonstrations, labor strikes, verbal confrontations, visual campaigns, institutional disobedience, and physical resistance. Meanwhile, closed resistance is executed covertly through false compliance, sabotage, evasion, safe space creation, disguise, and withdrawal from the system. These resistances are driven by extreme human rights violations, formal justice system failures, and economic exploitation. The scientific contribution of this study lies in recontextualizing Scott's theory from traditional agrarian societies to a modern urban landscape, revealing novel resistance tactics through the use of visual technology and religious attributes. In conclusion, authoritarian hegemony is never absolute, as the subordinate class consistently finds ways to nurture resistance.

Abstract

The open-door economic policy (Infitah) during the presidency of Anwar Sadat (1970–1981) triggered a socio-economic crisis with wide-ranging impacts on Egyptian society; however, the representation and critique of this inequality within literary works still requires comprehensive study. This research aims to analyze the social representation of Egyptian society during the Infitah era in the novel Yawmu Qutila al-Za'im by Naguib Mahfouz. Using a qualitative descriptive method with René Wellek and Austin Warren's sociology of literature approach, this study analyzes textual data in the form of quotations, dialogues, and descriptions of events from the digital edition published by the Hindawi Foundation (2022). The results show that the novel represents six interrelated social aspects: (1) economics, marked by rising prices and the burden of living costs that hindered the younger generation's marriage prospects; (2) politics, depicting the assassination of Sadat and the panic it caused throughout society; (3) education, highlighting the phenomenon of educated unemployment and declining trust in formal education; (4) religion, recording the simplification of religious practices and the shift of religious education into the family domain due to economic pressure; (5) culture, portraying the staple food foul medames as a symbol of social solidarity amid the crisis; and (6) social life, presenting intergenerational conflict between life principles and financial reality. This research contributes to reaffirming the novel's function as a critical social document of the Infitah policy while enriching the study of modern Arabic literary sociology.

Abstract

: Natural language processing (NLP) ranks among the most important areas of contemporary linguistic research, due to its epistemological intersection between theoretical linguistics and computer science. This interaction has given rise to computational linguistics as an interdisciplinary science aimed at building formal and algorithmic models that simulate human linguistic competence in comprehension and production. Within this framework, the issue of automatic processing of the Arabic language emerges as particularly challenging. Despite technological advancements, Arabic NLP remains in its foundational stages, especially regarding the semantic and prosodic components. The limited progress in Arabic speech processing is largely due to the absence of precise engineering descriptions of prosodic features, such as stress and intonation, which play a central role in constructing pragmatic meaning and distinguishing the utterance-level structure of sentences. The lack of formal and mathematical modeling of these phenomena, alongside the scarcity of standardized speech databases, hinders effective automatic processing of Arabic speech and prevents machines from achieving the perceptual and generative competence required for intelligent natural language simulation. This study aims to highlight the importance of integrating prosodic aspects into the computational architecture for Arabic speech processing, considering it a crucial step toward developing more coherent and linguistically appropriate systems for language perception and generation.

Abstract

Previous studies on balaghah have explored various rhetorical aspects, including majaz, isti‘arah, tasybih, kinayah, jinas, bayan, and the epistemological foundations of rhetoric, particularly in relation to Qur’anic interpretation. However, these studies remain fragmented because they generally focus on specific rhetorical branches or individual Qur’anic objects without systematically synthesizing broader research trends and methodological patterns. This study aims to identify research trends in the study of balaghah and determine the dominant forms of rhetorical analysis used to reveal the linguistic beauty of the Qur’an. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was employed to identify, evaluate, and synthesize findings from previously published research articles. Data were collected using a coding sheet containing information on authors, publication year, research methods, research focus, rhetorical aspects examined, and principal findings. The results indicate that balaghah has a significant role in revealing the aesthetic dimensions and linguistic miraculousness of the Qur’an. The most frequently analyzed rhetorical elements include majaz, isti‘arah, tasybih, kinayah, and jinas, which demonstrate the relationship between linguistic form, semantic depth, and rhetorical effectiveness. The study contributes a systematic overview of methodological and thematic trends in Qur’anic balaghah research and provides a foundation for future studies to develop more comprehensive and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding Qur’anic linguistic beauty.

Abstract

Arabic language learning in Indonesian Islamic higher education continues to face fundamental challenges, particularly fragmented instruction of language skills, limited integration of linguistic components, and weak connections between Arabic learning materials and students’ academic, Islamic, and social contexts. The integrative method offers a strategic approach by connecting the four language skills (istima’, kalam, qira’ah, and kitabah) with linguistic components, including ashwat (phonology), mufradat (lexicon), sharf (morphology), nahwu (syntax), and dilalah (semantics), as well as Islamic values within a coherent learning framework. This article aims to examine the theoretical and linguistic foundations of the integrative method, analyze its implementation models in Indonesian Islamic universities, and identify implementation challenges and development strategies. The study employs a systematic literature review of relevant scholarly articles and research on Arabic language pedagogy, applied linguistics, and integrative learning. The findings indicate that integrative instruction enhances students’ communicative competence, linguistic accuracy, learning motivation, and ability to connect Arabic with Islamic scholarship and real-life contexts. Four models are identified: integrated four-skills instruction, linguistic-component integration, Islamic content-based integration (al-Madkhal al-Takamuli), and technology- and cross-course integration. Challenges include limited instructor competence, rigid curricula, and inadequate authentic assessment. This study contributes a linguistically grounded framework for curriculum reform and sustainable Arabic language instruction in Islamic higher education.

Abstract

This study examines the artistic characteristics of Kanuri proverbs and wise sayings and their Arabic equivalents through a contrastive rhetorical perspective. The research problem stems from the limited academic attention given to the rhetorical and aesthetic dimensions of Kanuri proverbs in comparison with their Arabic counterparts. Although proverbs from both traditions contain rich linguistic, semantic, and rhetorical features, the similarities and the factors underlying them have not been sufficiently explored. Therefore, this study aims to identify the degree of semantic similarity between Kanuri proverbs and wise sayings and their Arabic equivalents, analyze their artistic and rhetorical characteristics, and investigate the factors contributing to these similarities. The study employs an analytical method by examining selected Kanuri proverbs and wise sayings alongside their corresponding Arabic expressions. The findings reveal a significant degree of semantic similarity between the two traditions. These similarities are primarily attributed to cultural coincidence and, more importantly, the influence of Islam on the Kanuri people, which facilitated the transmission and adaptation of Arabic linguistic and cultural elements. The analysis also identifies several rhetorical and aesthetic features, including simile, trope, assonance, anagram, rhyme, symbolism, and concision. This study contributes to comparative rhetorical studies by demonstrating the interconnectedness of Kanuri and Arabic proverbial traditions and providing a linguistic and cultural basis for understanding the role of Islamic influence in shaping Kanuri proverbial expression
