THE MYTH OF ‘ABŪ LAHAB’ IN Q.S. AL-MASAD [111]: 1

The Qur’anic story of “Abū Lahab” is often misunderstood by some who assume that the story is factual-exclusive. This article is designed to examine how the concept of Abū Lahab is understood in Qur’anic terms, and how it is embodied in today’s context. This research uses a library research method with a descriptive-analytical pattern, through Roland Barthes’ semiotic approach as a theoretical basis. Barthes argues that the language system can be understood through two steps of semiotic reading, the first is what he calls the linguistic system (language-object), and the second is the mythical system (metalanguage). To arrive at the mythical system, it is necessary to extract meaning through the signifier system, which consists of three elements: the signifier element, the signified element, and the sign element in the second layer of the semiotic system. Through Roland Barthes’ semiotic reading, the concept of Abū Lahab that is understood to be exclusively addressed to ‘Abd al-‘Uzzā is a myth. Abū Lahab is not a personal name, but a general and universal title. ‘Abd al-‘Uzzā is only one historical representation of the figure of Abū Lahab. From Barthes’ semiotics, Abū Lahab is more accurately understood as ‘anyone who opposes the truth and is intolerant (radical) towards other groups, not hesitating to carry out offensive resistance to them if it is not in line with their personal or group ideology or political interests’. Thus, in the modern context, anyone can potentially become “Abū Lahab” as the khiṭab of Q.S. Al-Masad if they share these characteristics.

The explicit narrative proverb in the Holy Qur’an, a grammatical study The story of the owner of two gardens - an example

This study aims to identify one of the many and varied methods of the Holy Qur’an, which is the explicit narrative proverb in the Holy Qur’an. The method of stories is one of the methods that the Holy Qur’an paid special attention to, because of the element of suspense and excitement in it, in addition to taking advice, consideration, and lessons learned. Qur’anic stories are distinguished by advantages that are unique to human stories, including that Qur’anic stories are the truest, best, and most useful stories, due to the power of their influence in reforming hearts, deeds, and morals. In this research, we will take an example of this method, which is the story of the owner of the two gardens mentioned in Surah Al-Kahf, as it is a story that happened and is repeated. From time to time, here and there, at the level of the individual, the state, and the group, there is a perception of a state of arrogance and tyranny that occurs among some as a result of possessing one of the symptoms of this mortal world, such as money, prestige, or power, which makes him forget himself, and this state may push him to insult the believers, belittle them, and degrade them. In this research, we will discuss the verses contained in this story, a grammatical, descriptive, analytical, and statistical study of the sentence, its types, divisions, and position in the parsing.

آنية الفعل ومستقبليته في آيات قصة أصحاب الكهف

The Qur'anic stories constitute one of the most important purposes for explanation, lesson, and measuring current events against past events that the Qur'an wants to convey to us. The Qur'anic story has been formulated in various ways, according to what the context requires, some of which are detailed, and some of which are summarized. The story of the People of the Cave is one of the stories that have been detailed. This research deals with the story of the People of the Cave in terms of using the verb to know the style of the Qur'anic story from the gate of grammar. This was discussed through two important meanings: the timeliness of the verb used, and the futurestic of the verb in the story of the People of the Cave. This section sheds light on how the story, despite the pastness of its time, was formulated in a style that indicates the present and the future so that the story is alive and renewed. The style of dialogue in this story was also discussed, which made the text lively and vibrant with vitality and movement. It was concluded that researching the Qur'anic text through grammar leads to knowledge that adds a dimension to the Qur'anic interpretation that can be used to know the secrets of the Holy Qur'an.

Yusuf in The Well: Contemporary Prophet and His Self-Search in Abdulrazak Gurnah’s Paradise

It cannot be denied that art and literature constitute an important part of life. Artists are master individuals who hold a mirror to life and create their works by distilling the essence of life into them. Artists are responsible individuals who do not turn their backs on the realities of the society they live in but transform those realities into art by using their ability to re-construct it. For hundreds of years, they have been inspired by the religious and cultural codes of the societies they live in and use them as raw materials for their art. One of these master artists, African-born Abdulrazak Gurnah, who is also one of the contemporary British writers, is one of those who masterfully fictionalizes reality like his previous generations of writers. The author fictionalizes, in Paradise, the Qur’anic story of Prophet Yusuf and creates a modern prophet. In the novel, the author, who centers his narrative on themes such as rootlessness, slavery, and marginalization, tries to highlight the problems that African societies are subjected to. In this study, the real-life story of Prophet Yusuf and the African Yusuf, who is a fictional character, will be examined in the context of religion and fiction, and the difficulties faced by Yusuf character during his identity formation and self-development will be examined.

Representations of Disability in Qur’anic Narratives

In some Muslim cultures disabled people are ridiculed, abused and face social injustice. Whilst there are texts which examine the representations of disabled people in a range of legal, social, religious, and cultural Muslim documents, there is a paucity of literature which analyzes the representations of disabled people in the Qur’an. Applying critical discourse analysis, this study interprets two well-known Qur’anic stories. Through the application of thematic analysis, the phrases, clauses and sentences of these two stories are analyzed in order to present patterns of meaning which challenge ableism from a scriptural Islamic perspective.

Building characters in the Quranic storyAnalytical study of the selected models

The personality element in the Qur’anic story acquires its importance over the rest of the other elements, in terms of its presence in the structure of the Qur’anic story, and its diverse construction, and what gives this diversity and presence its importance is the realism of this narrative that we are dealing with and its historical truthfulness, which gives this diversity an aesthetic and cognitive function that lies in presenting . Therefore, the methodological framework of this study will depend on the stylistic approach, which is concerned with monitoring the relationships and methods of the Qur’anic narrative in its formation. What the study concluded is that the diagnosis in the Qur’anic story reveals the most prominent internal traits that characterize the personality, which reveal the scientific and cognitive dimension

Kafka’s Antizionism through a Comparative Analysis of ‘Jackals and Arabs’ with Judeo-Christian Texts, the Alexander Romance, and the Qur’an

Kafka explores many elements in ‘Jackals and Arabs’ that are found in the Judeo-Christian tradition of Gog and Magog, the Alexander Romance, and the Qur’anic story of Dhu’l-Qarnayn. A comparative analysis of these works reveals Kafka’s criticism of the Zionist movement. Kafka rejects Zionist exceptionalism and separatism through the narrator’s rejection of the jackals’ cause. Kafka’s jackals are compared to Gog and Magog, who are portrayed as corruptors of the land in the aforementioned texts. The categorisation of corruptors of the land is significant because this reverses Zionist claims of a profound connection to the land, which Kafka, likewise, reverses when the jackals claim that the desert is their home from which the Arabs should be removed. Zionist avowals of Arab backwardness are countered by Kafka as he makes the Arabs superior, which is also how the indigenous population are depicted in the Judeo-Christian and Muslim traditions since they are contrasted with the barbarity of Gog and Magog. Finally, the Zionist trope of the European Jewish hero who flees persecution is inverted by Kafka who confers on the narrator a quasi-prophetic/royal status similar to that of Dhu’l-Qarnayn and Alexander the Great.

The Multifaceted Identity of Qur'anic Stories in QS. Hūd [11

This study examines the Qur'an's non-chronological narratives, arguing that their purpose goes beyond simply offering advice or lessons. The coherence of these stories suggests a strong link to the specific circumstances Prophet Muhammad faced during his mission. In other words, the way the stories are told seems to be influenced by the context in which they were revealed. This research explores the connection between the narratives and their historical context. It employs a qualitative method and the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, which suggests language shapes how we understand the world. Focusing on the narrative of Prophet’s portrayal within Surah Hud [11], this analysis reveals how the juxtaposition of character portrayal with consequences of defiance reinforces the Prophet's warnings against following ancestral beliefs. Furthermore, the inclusion of Mose’s story, unlike those of other prophets, Nūḥ, Hūd, Ṣāliḥ, Shua'ib, and Lūṭ, highlights the evolving nature of the message throughout Muhammad's mission. This research suggests a two-way relationship between the narratives and the changing context surrounding the Prophet.

The Queen of Sheba in the Mystical Thought of Ibn ‘Arabī

The mystical commentary on the story of Bilqīs, the Queen of Sheba, from chapter 27 of the Qur’an carried out by the highly influential Sufi thinker Muḥyī al-Dīn ibn ‘Arabī (d. 638/1240), shows that he differs radically from exoteric Sunni exegetes. The principal reason for this is Ibn ‘Arabī’s complete reliance on spiritual unveiling (kashf) as a hermeneutic tool. In the chapter on Sulaymān of Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam, Ibn ‘Arabī represents Bilqīs as the most perspicuous instantiation of the divine Name, “the Compassionate” (Al-Raḥmān). It is the divine trait of compassion, says Ibn ‘Arabī, that provides the existentiating impetus required to bring forth the entire cosmos. Due to her personification of this trait, Bilqīs’ ascent to the pinnacle of gnosis and her ontological superiority over her peers is extolled by Ibn ‘Arabī in her Qur’anic story.

The Role Of Context In Arabic Linguistics: The Story Of Abraham's Performance in Quran

This article investigates linguistic variance in narrating the same stories in different locations in the Quran. The research deals with repeating some scenes in the Qur’anic stories in multiple places in the Holy Qur’an, with the difference in the linguistic expression methods of the exact scene in its different locations, as well as the impact of the Qur’anic context on this difference.
