https://ejournal.uinsaid.ac.id/index.php/allais/article/view/10409
<p>The research aims to analyze one of the significant works in Arabic rhetoric and critical studies, Minhaj al-Bulaghā’ wa Sirāj al-Udabā’ by the Andalusian critic and poet Hazim al-Qartajanni. The study seeks to clarify and demonstrate the author's methodology in addressing linguistic, rhetorical, and critical issues, as well as his approach to analyzing and interpreting them. It highlights the integration of knowledge and methodologies through the use of induction and textual documentation as a systematic method to compile argumentative evidence. This approach underscores the uniqueness of the book's author by deconstructing its structural and semantic components and describing them to reach conclusions, analyze content, interpret it, and compare it with Arab and Greek heritage to highlight the findings. To achieve this, two research methodologies were adopted: <em>First,</em> the integrative approach, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of linguistic sciences and rhetorical critical issues by employing tools that study the research topic from all knowledge dimensions and eliminate barriers between specialized divisions. <em>Second,</em> the descriptive-analytical approach, which involves analyzing the critical issues presented in the book based on observation and research mechanisms to collect information and data from the primary source, Minhaj al-Bulaghā’ wa Sirāj al-Udabā’. The analysis aims to explain and interpret the content, draw conclusions, and provide commentary. The findings of the research reveal the diversity and complexity of critical topics addressed by al-Qartajanni. He adopts a logical perspective that integrates Greek and Arabic cultural elements in his analyses, uncovering the principles and foundations upon which rhetoric is built within the framework of a discipline supported by logic and wisdom in Arabic rhetoric.</p>Ismail Moussaoui

https://ejournal.uinsaid.ac.id/index.php/allais/article/view/10130
<p>This study aims to classify and analyze the emotions experienced by the main character “Faris” in the film Qalb Al-Asad (Heart of a Lion) using David Krech’s classification of emotions. The theoretical framework is based on Krech’s theory, which categorizes emotions into four types: (1) basic emotions, (2) emotions related to sensory stimulation, (3) emotions related to self-evaluation, and (4) emotions related to others. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method. The primary data consists of verbal and non-verbal expressions illustrating the emotional classifications of Faris' character. The data source is the film Qalb Al-Asad, directed by Hossam Mousa. Data collection techniques include listening, observing, classifying, and describing emotional expressions based on Krech’s theory. Content analysis is used to identify, classify, and analyze scenes in the film to understand the emotions conveyed through both verbal and non-verbal expressions. The findings reveal 38 instances of emotional classifications for the main character Faris in the film Qalb Al-Asad, categorized as follows: 21 instances of basic emotions (happiness, anger, fear, sadness), 2 instances of emotions related to sensory stimulation (pain, enjoyment), 9 instances of emotions related to self-evaluation (success, pride, guilt, regret), and 6 instances of emotions related to others (love, hatred).</p>Putri Mas Maulya Hasanah Ramadhan AliMuhammad Irfan Anas

https://ejournal.uinsaid.ac.id/index.php/allais/article/view/9568
<p>This study examines the relevance of characterization and plot in the short story Syamsyun Al-Jabbar by Kamil Kilani to the historical narrative of Prophet Syam’un using a New Historicism approach. The research aims to reveal the similarities and connections between the narrative elements of the short story and the historical account of Prophet Syam’un, which remains relatively unknown to the public. Data for this study were collected through library research by analyzing the short story Syamsyun Al-Jabbar and various historical sources documenting the life of Prophet Syam’un. The study employs a qualitative method with parallel analysis, comparing the text of the short story with historical sources. The findings reveal the relevance of the character Syamsyun to Prophet Syam’un, Dalilah to the Prophet's wife, and Sultan to the disbelievers, along with a parallelism in the plot comprising four main stages. In conclusion, the short story Syamsyun Al-Jabbar symbolically represents the history of Prophet Syam’un, emphasizing his existence in a way that highlights his underappreciated historical significance.</p>ِAinia Fatma Afita SariEva FarhahLuigi Sausa

https://ejournal.uinsaid.ac.id/index.php/allais/article/view/10122
<p>The data for this study were sourced directly from the Qur'anic text of Surah <em>a</em><em>l-Lahab,</em> complemented by interpretations from classical and contemporary Tafsir literature, including Tafsir Ibn Kathir and Tafsir al-Misbah. Data were collected through textual analysis, identifying key terms such as لهب (lahab), يدا (yadaa), سيصلى (sayaslaa), الحطب (al-hatab), and مسد (masad), which serve as signifiers. These were then analyzed using semiotic techniques to reveal their denotative meanings ("flame," "both hands," "firewood," and "fiber rope") and connotative interpretations that symbolize punishment, loss, and eternal suffering. The study employed a qualitative approach, integrating linguistic and semiotic analysis to uncover layered meanings in the text. Roland Barthes' semiotic framework was utilized to deconstruct the mythological and ideological dimensions of the Surah. Findings indicate that Abu Lahab (real name: Abdul-Uzza) epitomizes loss and condemnation to Hellfire for his hostility toward the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Furthermore, his wife, complicit in spreading slander and opposing the prophetic message, faces similar punishment as described in the Surah. This research underscores the symbolic and ideological richness embedded in the Qur'anic narrative.</p>Isniyatun Nizwah MZArina RohmatikaNurul Hidayah

https://ejournal.uinsaid.ac.id/index.php/allais/article/view/10196
<p><strong>Abstract </strong></p> <p>This study analyzes the character needs in the novel Ar-Rajul Alladzi Amana by Naguib Al-Kilani using Abraham Maslow's humanistic psychology theory. The study aims to identify the types of character needs and explain how these needs influence character development within the narrative. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, using primary data in the form of selected excerpts from the novel. Data collection is conducted through library research techniques, analyzed based on Maslow's five levels of needs: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. The results reveal that the characters in the novel reflect physiological needs for survival, safety needs for protection, love needs for acceptance, esteem needs for self-worth, and self-actualization needs as the pinnacle of character aspirations. The novel highlights the complexity of these needs and their impact on character interactions within their environment.</p>Muhammad Yasyfa RabbaniMalia Fransisca

https://ejournal.uinsaid.ac.id/index.php/allais/article/view/9630
<p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p> <p>This study investigates the portrayal of gender stereotypes and women's resistance in the film Farchah (2021) by Darin J. Sallam. The research focuses on analyzing the textual representation of female stereotypes and the character Farchah's resistance to them, using Naomi Wolf's feminist theory as the analytical framework. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method combined with library research to analyze primary data in the form of dialogues and scenes from the film, as well as secondary data from relevant literature. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed systematically to identify patterns and meanings in the text. The findings reveal five dominant stereotypes imposed on women in the film: (1) women must marry early; (2) women do not need higher education; (3) women should stay close to home; (4) women are expected to cook; and (5) women are inherently weak. Additionally, the study identifies corresponding acts of resistance by Farchah, including: (1) rejecting an arranged marriage; (2) pursuing education; (3) aspiring to live in the city; (4) refusing to conform to traditional cooking roles; and (5) displaying physical and psychological courage by escaping confinement and using firearms. This research contributes to feminist film studies by demonstrating how Farchah challenges traditional gender roles and highlights women's agency in confronting societal expectations.</p>Intan RamandhaniReza Sukma Nugraha
