Abstract

This research focuses on the analysis of women’s existence in the Egyptian novel entitled Sikkat al-Manāṣirah by Muḥammad Jibrīl. This study aims to reveal the strategies and driving factors of the main female character in fighting for her existence in the novel. The primary data of this study are derived from Sikkat al-Manāṣirah, while the secondary data are obtained from books, previous studies, and relevant online references. This study uses qualitative descriptive methods and library techniques, namely by describing data related to the criteria of strategies and driving factors of the struggle for women’s existence using Simone de Beauvoir’s existentialist feminism approach. The results of the study show that there are four strategies of the main female character in fighting for her existence, including being an intellectual woman, a hardworking woman, contributing to society, and refusing to be an object. Meanwhile, the driving factors for the emergence of women’s struggle for existence are triggered by economic conditions and thoughts towards change. The implication of this research confirm that women’s existence within the text functions as a process of becoming a subject through choice, labor, and self-assertion. These findings strengthen gender-sensitive literary through economic independence and critical consciousness.

Abstract

Carnivalesque or carnival behavior is a concept coined by Mikhail Bakhtin about the suspension of all forms of social rules and hierarchies in literature. This is reflected in an Egyptian short story Asy-Syahiid written by Taufiq al-Chakim (1898-1987). The short story tells of a demonic character who wants to repent of his attitudes known as a human tempter. The satanic narrative described as contradicting the understanding of divine religion shows that al-Hakim tries to present the carnivalesque aspect in his work. This study will analyze the carnivalesque elements in the short story and the ideology behind the carnivalesque depictions. The method used is descriptive analysis method, namely by first describing the carnivalesque elements in the short story, then analyzing the ideology behind the depiction of these elements. The results showed that the short story Asy-Syahiid represented carnivalesque elements, such as profanation, comical elements, and multiplicity of tones. The ideology shown by the short story is a form of al-Hakim's criticism of humanity categorized by the devil's repentant narrative.

Abstract

The poem “Nachnu Sya’bun Laa Yastachii” by Ahmad Numaini serves as a socio-historical critique, reflecting sectarian tensions and political dynamics in Iraq. This study explores two primary aspects: first, how the poem reflects the socio-political context of Iraq during its composition, and second, its portrayal of Shiite history as interpreted by the poet. Employing a qualitative research methodology with Alan Swingewood’s literary sociology approach, this study analyzes the poem’s use of historical symbolism, particularly the Karbala tragedy, to critique patterns of betrayal and disunity within the Muslim community. The findings reveal that the poem functions as both a reflection of its era and a critique of contemporary socio-political conditions. This study highlights the role of literature in documenting and critiquing historical and societal phenomena, reinforcing its relevance as a medium for social commentary.

Abstract

Timur Tengah merupakan pusat keagamaan bagi muslim di seluruh dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Hubungan keagamaan antara Islam dan Timur Tengah mencakup proses politik dan sejarah yang kompleks. Perjuangan Islam puritan di era dominasi nilai imperialisme dan nilai kebaratan merupakan alasan utama penyebaran gerakan-gerakan politik Islam di berbagai belahan benua Asia. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menguji hubungan antara gerakan politik Islam di Timur Tengah dan gerakan-gerakan yang telah berkembang di Innesia. Terdapat beberapa aspek yang perlu dipahami mengenai munculnya gerakan-gerakan politik Islam. Penyebaran gerakan-gerakan politik Islam di Indonesia telah menunjukkan perubahan signifikan sejak tahun 1970-an dan 1980-an. Perkembangan gerakan-gerakan politik Islam mulai memperoleh momentum seiring meningkatnya jumlah pelajar dan mahsiswa Indonesia yang belajar ke Timur Tengah, yang menyebabkan eratnya hubungan Indonesia dan Timur Tengah pada banyak aspek. Pada tahun 1980-an, pelajar dan mahasiswa Indonesia di Arab Saudi, Mesir dan negaranegara Timur Tengah lainnya menyerap berbagai ide terkait politik Islam atau gerakan fundamentalis Islam dari Timur Tengah.

An impact arises on the imperfection or inability of speakers implying the use of the language. This article will reveal the errors that arise as a result of the lack of dominance of the rules of the language being studied. The goal is to find out on what level the error occurred. This research data is taken from the final examination of the subjects of Arabic Text Review Semester I and Semester III students of Arabic. Further data is analyzed by utilizing existing Arabic structure concept or theory. The result is that these learners' language errors occur both on the lexicon, Arabic phrase and as well in Arabic clauses. From the results of this study can be argued that to avoid language errors, grammatical mastery or grammar of a second language requires a lot of practice, both written and oral.

The form of code-mixing found is code-mixing of English words and phrases. The most widely used code switching is internal code switching and external code switching. Internal code switching occurs from Fuṣḥā Arabic to Amiyah Arabic and back to Fuṣḥā Arabic. In addition, external code switching occurs from Arabic Fuṣḥā to English and back again to Arabic Fuṣḥā. The factors that cause code mixing in Aḥbabtuka Akśara Min Mā Yanbagī's novel (2014) by Aṡīr 'Abdullāh are (a) bringing up humor, (b) appreciation for the interlocutor, (c) petition to the interlocutor, and (d) annoyance.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the hidden meaning within the concept of Nūr Muḥammad as found in the Maulid ad-Dība‘ī, a classical Arabic literary work by ‘Abd ar-Raḥmān of Yemen, widely popular in Indonesia. Schleiermacher’s hermeneutics, which consists of grammatical and psychological interpretation, is employed as the analytical framework. Grammatical interpretation is conducted by examining the structure and linguistic choices in the text to uncover implicit meanings, while psychological interpretation delves into the author’s inner context through his biography, intellectual background, and spiritual environment. Utilizing a qualitative approach based on library research, the findings reveal that, grammatically, the concept of Nūr Muḥammad in Maulid ad-Dība‘ī is positioned as a primordial light that predates all prophets, including Prophet Ādam, and serves as a manifestation of the nobility of the Prophet Muḥammad. Psychologically, ad-Dība‘ī presents Muhammad not merely within a historical framework but also as the center of human existence and spirituality. More than a Sufi concept, Nūr Muḥammad in this work functions as a theological symbol that represents profound reverence for the Prophet and serves as a spiritual medium that radiates wisdom to those whose hearts are purified through love and the emulation of Muhammad.

Abstract

Politic has been defined simply by Harold Laswell as who gets what, when, how?Many people say that politic is synonymous with power. The "power" is the ability of agroup to influence other groups according to the subject wishes. Furthermore, thepolitical experts see the power as a political core and also assume that politic is all amatter of fight and maintain activities power. It has a purpose related to the interests of the entire community. On the other hand mentioned that politic is the process offormation and distribution of a power in society such as decision-making process,particularly in countries. This understanding is the incorporation effort between manydifferent definitions of the political nature which is known in political science. Politic is the art and science to gain power constitutionally and unconstitutionally. Principally political Islam is to actualize Islamic law as the supreme source of lawin the national legal order. All laws and regulations applicable in a country should refer to the highest legal source Shari'a. If there is any conflict with the shari‟a, then it is automatically canceled regulations. Politics that do not have a mission like this can not be classified as political Islam.
