Abstract

The arrival of Jews in Palestine since 1882 changed the order of life of the Palestinian people. Jews began to buy land from Palestinians with the aim of mastering all Palestinian land in the future. This mastery is carried out to realize the ideals of establishing a Jews country that has been proclaimed by The World Zionist Organization. The achievement of control of Palestinian land became apparent when the Ottoman Government in Palestine was defeated and turned into British hands. In 1917, Britain gave way to the Zionist Organization by signing the Balfour Declaration which gave permission to them to make Palestine a homeland. In three decades, the Zionist Organization succeeded in annexing Palestine and making it a Jewish state called Israel. The establishment of the state of Israel became a tragedy to the Palestinians. Arab poets have resisted since the signing of the Balfour Declaration until the tragedy of Israel's annexation of Palestine with their poems. Literary works, in the theory of adab almuqawamah, were written to arouse the spirit of resistance of a nation against colonialism. Arab poets through their poems warn of the adverse consequences of the Balfour Declaration for Palestine. Their poetry is also to arouse the fighting spirit of the Palestinian people against Israel.

Abstract

Unlike realist novels, whose characters can resist certain authorities, characters in naturalist novels cannot do so freely. Instead, they are often portrayed as swept up in pessimism and powerlessness. This study aims to explore the aspects of naturalism in the novel Tafṣīl Thānawī (Minor Detail), which depicts the condition of Palestine under Israeli occupation following the Nakba tragedy, using Zola’s naturalism as its theoretical lens. The research employs a descriptive–qualitative design: the novel is the primary source; secondary sources are books and journal articles on Shibli and Zola. Data were collected through close reading and note-taking, and analyzed via data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate five aspects of naturalism in Tafṣīl Thānawī, including determinism: impaired rational judgment, and a persistent focus on minute details. Settings: the Negev Desert, the hut of the Israeli military commander, and Ramallah. Pessimism: the Bedouin girl’s inability to resist and anxiety about traveling beyond her territory. Objectivity: third-person narration, the commander’s directives to soldiers, and the stark depiction of the girl’s burial. Plot twists: the Bedouin girl’s murder and the female journalist’s successful entry into Israeli territory.

Abstract

The condition of Palestine which has been occupied by Israel for a long time and has yet to be resolved, encourages poets to give birth to literary works in which echoed the suffering experienced by the Palestinian people. One of them is the poem of Maḥmūd Darwīsy entitled "Qaṣīdatu Al-Arḍi" in anthology Al-Aʻmālu Al-Kāmilatu. The poem reflects the message of revealing encouragement for the community in fighting for the Palestinian homeland and bringing up Palestinian nationalism. Therefore, the aim of this study is to uncover the meaning of this poem in relation to defending the Palestinian territories and uniting the nationalism of the people. The theory used in this research is the semiotic theory, which is a discipline that views the poem "Qaṣīdatu Al-Arḍi" in anthology Al-Aʻmālu Al-Kāmilatu as a semiotic marker where the meaning (signified) requires deeper analysis. Methodologically, this study uses the Michael Riffaterre semiotic model, a method that reveals the meaning of poetry technically using indirect expressions, heuristic readings, and hermeneutic readings. The results of this study found that this poem implies the struggle of the Palestinian people in defending their homeland where the action was manifested in large-scale demonstrations but unfortunately it did not even have any impact. Therefore, the only effective way to do it is by telling it through literary works such as in the title "Qaṣīdatu Al-Arḍi" in the anthology of AlAʻmālu Al-Kāmilatu. The work is a reflection of the suffering of the Palestinian people represented by the author, Maḥmūd Darwīsy, a Palestinian writer.

Abstract

Nonviolence and pacifism are widely recognized and understood by various religions and cultures. Since the 1960s, a particular group of intellectuals, theologians, and religious leaders in the Muslim world have been working to establish a theoretical basis for social justice and a society that embraces diversity. Their efforts primarily focus on minimizing the use of violence. The main objective of this work is to elucidate the philosophical perspective on pacifism in Islam as articulated by the contemporary Islamic scholar Jawdat Saʽīd (1931-2022). Saʽīd offers an academic viewpoint on the strategic implementation of pacifism for promoting social change within the Muslim world and its diplomatic utilization externally. His theory is equally applicable to the non-Muslim world, encompassing monotheists and atheists as well. This study examines the texts or written materials, as well as the spoken words and interviews available on Saʽīd's personal website and other online platforms related to academia and widely known and used by the public.

Abstract

The Saudi Arabia Kingdom has a long history of applying Islamic law as a reference for state policies. The modernization that has taken place in Saudi Arabia certainly intersected with Wahhabism, adopted as the central ideology of the Saudi Arabia Kingdom. This study discusses Saudi Arabia's modernization efforts,  which were initiated by Muhammad bin Salman’s Vision 2030. This study was designed with a descriptive-qualitative research method and used a literature review as the data collection technique. The theories used include Talcott Parsons' structural, functional theory with a decision-making process approach and the modernization theory by Inglehart and Welzel. The results revealed that the reign of King Salman and the Saudi Arabia Kingdom implemented Vision 2030 as a modernization of Muhammad bin Salman. Saudi Arabia's administration has gone through considerable changes from time to time. Societies once known to be conservative were able to quickly implement the economic and social reforms that began to lead to a liberal system. This is owing to the king's great power and the assurance of state welfare.

Abstract

This paper aims to describe linguistic phenomena in Arabic as seen from general linguistic theories. Based on the universal nature of language, the unique of a language system can be analyzed using external approaches outside of it. By this comparative method, novelty can be found frequently and encourage the development of a theory. The method used is descriptive and comparative. Descriptive methods are used to describe general linguistic theories. The comparative method is used to find the similarities of the two linguistic systems, especially at the syntactic and morphological levels. Several conclusions were drawn. First, at the syntactic level, Arabic has a system that is not much different from the system in general linguistics. Several syntactic theories in general linguistics such as transitivity theory, X-Bar Theory, Theta Theory and Case Theory can be found in Arabic equivalent. Second, in its morphological system, Arabic also has the same word formation processes such as Affixation, Acronym, Conversion, Back Formation, Clipping, Blending, Compounding, Borrowing, and Coinage.

Abstract

Risālah At-Tawābi' wa Az-Zawābi' is an Andalusian literary work that combines prose and poetry. This treatise contains Ibn Syuhaid's poetry juxtaposed with the poetry of other poets, including jāhilī poets, such as Umruul Qais, Ṭarafah bin Al-Abd, and Qais bin Al-Khātim. This research examines Ibn Syuhaid's poetry in juxtaposition with the three jāhilī poets using Riffaterre's intertextual approach, which considers the important role of the reader in providing meaning of the poetry. To understand the meaning of a poem, the reader must find the intertext that forms the poem's shape. The Ibn Syuhaid poem which is the formal data in this research is entitled Fī Madḥi Yahya Al-Mu'talī, fi Washfi Riḥlah Aṣ-Ṣaydi and fī madīḥ Abī Marwān. This research was carried out to find the intertextual form of Ibn Syuhaid's transformational poetry with the actual hypograms juxtaposed with him in the Risālah At-Tawābi' wa Az-Zawābi'. The methodology used in this research is intertextual by determining the matrix, model, and variants in the transformation poem and the hypograms that are juxtaposed with it.

Abstract

After the revolution in 2011, Egypt has experienced various conditions of instability in various fields, especially the economy and politics. The government of Mohammed Morsi, which was previously expected improve the Egyptian economy, actually exacerbated the situation. The Egyptian people staged various protests and other forms of protest in order for the government to immediately improve the situation. However, the government failed to carry out conflict management so the military carried out a coup. Morsi's position was later replaced by Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi. Al-Sisi's background as a military figure led to repressive policies being implemented. During Al-Sisi's reign, there was a significant increase in the Egyptian economy. The purpose of this research is to identify the role of President Al-Sisi's government for the development of economic reform in Egypt after the 2011 Revolution. This research useda qualitative approach with an exploratory type of research, and refers to the theory of liberalism and the rational actor model. The results of this research indicate that President Al-Sisi's policies have a positive impact on the development of the Egyptian economy as indicated by an increase in Egypt's Gross Domestic Product, a decrease in inflation rates, and poverty.
