Images of Palestina in the Poems Li-Bilādinā & Wa Lanā Bilād by Mahmoed Darwish
No full textThis research is motivated by the prolonged socio-political conflict experienced by the Palestinian people, which has resulted in displacement, loss of sovereignty, and humanitarian suffering. In this context, literature particularly poetry functions not only as an aesthetic expression but also as a medium of reflection and resistance against oppressive realities. This study aims to reveal the image of Palestine in the poems Li-Bilādinā and Wa Lanā Bilād by Mahmoed Darwish using Alan Swingewood’s sociological approach to literature. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a historical-sociological approach to examine the relationship between literary texts and the social, historical, and cultural contexts that underlie them. Data were collected through close reading and note-taking techniques, while data analysis was conducted through three stages: data reduction, comparison of poetic quotations and interpretations from relevant references, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Li-Bilādinā and Wa Lanā Bilād portray Palestine as a sacred yet oppressed land that has lost its sovereignty, identity, and living space due to colonization. In Li-Bilādinā, Palestine is depicted as a holy land marked by suffering, dispossession, and wounded identity, whereas Wa Lanā Bilād presents Palestine as an inner homeland and collective hope that survives in memory despite physical loss. Based on Alan Swingewood's sociological perspective on literature, these two poems reflect three main aspects of the socio-political reality of Palestine, namely territorial and sovereignty conflicts, humanitarian crises resulting from expulsion and violence, and economic crises as a result of structural colonization. Thus, this study confirms that Mahmoed Darwish's work is not merely an aesthetic expression, but a social document that raises awareness of the suffering and struggle of the Palestinian people and calls for the importance of global solidarity for justice and humanity. Therefore, this research contributes to the field of literary sociology by demonstrating the relevance of poetry as a medium for representing socio-political realities and by encouraging further studies on literary works from conflict zones using interdisciplinary perspectives

No full textThis community service program aims to improve the teaching competence of Al-Qur’an teachers in delivering learning specifically designed for elderly learners. The program involved several stages, including needs identification, collaborative planning, implementation of mentoring and training, joint reflection and evaluation, as well as program improvement and adjustment. The community service method employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach and was conducted at MQ Al Muhajirin Boro, Tanggulangin. During the needs identification stage, the service team carried out observations, interviews, and discussions to understand the challenges faced by Al-Qur’an teachers in teaching elderly learners, such as difficulties in delivering material, a lack of appropriate teaching techniques, and limited learning support tools. Based on these findings, a microteaching module tailored to the needs of elderly learners was developed, along with a schedule of regular training sessions and the provision of relevant instructional aids and learning media. The mentoring and training activities were conducted periodically, emphasizing the use of visual and audio methods, adequate time intervals, and simple language. Periodic evaluations indicated improvements in teachers’ instructional skills, elderly learners’ understanding of Al-Qur’an materials, and the effectiveness of instructional aids and learning media. Overall, the program produced a significant positive impact and is expected to serve as a model for similar programs in other settings. Recommendations for program sustainability include continuous development, advanced training, community involvement, facility enhancement, and further research

No full textGlobal challenges and changes in social values require Islamic educational institutions to produce graduates with critical and creative thinking skills to compete amid the currents of modernization and digitalization. However, the quality of education is not measured solely by academic standards, but also by spiritual, moral, social, and managerial dimensions that reflect the unity of faith, knowledge, and charity. This study aims to analyze the concept of educational quality from an Islamic perspective and formulate a strategy for comprehensively improving the quality of Islamic educational institutions. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach based on library research, analyzing primary sources such as the Qur'an, hadith, and tafsir, as well as modern scientific literature on Islamic educational quality management. The results show that the quality of Islamic education is built on the principles of tauhid, amanah, adl, ihsan, and itqan, which guide all educational activities towards the formation of a perfect human being. Quality improvement strategies include strengthening teachers' competence and spirituality, curriculum innovation grounded in Islamic values and the needs of the times, implementing Islamic quality management, and the ethical use of digital technology. Thus, the quality of Islamic education is an integrative process that combines spiritual, professional, and adaptive dimensions to realize quality education, character, and global competitiveness

The Representation of Love in Nizar Qabbani's Poem "Uhibbuki Uhibbuki wal Baqiyatu Ta'ti": A Balāghah-Based Study of Kinayah
No full textThis study examines the use of indirect expressions in Nizar Qabbani’s poem “Uḥibbuki Uḥibbuki wal-Bāqiyātu Taʾtī” to uncover the multidimensional meanings of love conveyed through symbolic and figurative language. As a leading figure in modern Arabic poetry, Qabbani employs indirect expressions to represent emotional depth, psychological nuance, and humanistic values within the experience of love. This study aims to identify the types of indirect expressions used in the poem namely talwih, ta‘ridh, ramz, and ima’/isyarah and to analyze how these expressions articulate the dimensions of love proposed by Erich Fromm, including care, responsibility, respect, and knowledge. The scope of this study is limited to a stylistic and textual analysis of a single poem using the framework of balaghah and humanistic psychology.This research uses a qualitative content analysis method. The primary data consist of Qabbani’s poetic text, while the secondary data are drawn from scholarly works on balaghah, modern Arabic poetry, and Erich Fromm’s theory of love. Data collection was conducted through close reading and systematic note-taking, followed by data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Qabbani’s indirect expressions form layered meanings of love that reflect Fromm’s concept of productive love. These expressions enhance the poem’s aesthetic quality while simultaneously deepening its psychological and humanistic resonance. This study contributes to the field of modern Arabic literary studies by integrating rhetorical analysis with psychological theory. Future research is encouraged to examine a broader corpus of Qabbani’s poetry, apply comparative approaches, or employ interdisciplinary perspectives to further explore representations of love in modern Arabic literature

Analysis of Systemic Violence and Social Inequality in The Purge (2013): A Marxist Theoretical Lens: Analisis Kekerasan Sistemik dan Kesenjangan Sosial dalam The Purge (2013): Lensa Teori Marxis
No full textThis study analyzes systemic violence and social inequality represented in James DeMonaco's film The Purge (2013) using a Marxist theoretical lens. This study focuses on analyzing the three main pillars of Marxist theory: class domination, class struggle, and alienation, as represented in the visual elements, narrative, and characters in the film. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a focus on content analysis. This study interprets the film using Marxist concepts and compares the findings with contemporary academic studies on cinema and cases of social inequality. The results of this study show that The Purge depicts how capitalist ideology legitimizes violence, how resistance emerges symbolically, and how alienation destroys social and psychological structures. This study argues that The Purge functions not only as a dystopian horror film, but also as a symbol of ideological criticism of the capitalist system, which is relevant to both global and local conditions. These findings highlight the role of film as a cultural medium in social criticism and reinforce the relevance of Marxist theory in analyzing social inequality in modern society
The Use of Sequence to Improve Students’ Writing Ability Narrative Text (Quasi-Experimental Research on Class VIII Students of SMPN 3 Metro)
No full textMany students still face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing story sequences, and applying appropriate language features. This problem was also identified among eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Metro, where students’ writing performance was relatively low due to the use of conventional teaching methods and limited visual learning media. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using image sequence media in improving students’ narrative writing ability. The research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest model. The participants consisted of 28 eighth-grade students. Data were collected through writing tests and documentation, and analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and the Paired Sample T-Test. The results revealed that the mean pretest score of 40.07 significantly increased to 79.75 in the posttest, with a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05). These findings indicate that the use of image sequence media has a significant positive effect on students’ narrative writing ability. The study demonstrates that image sequence media effectively assists students in developing ideas, organizing storylines, and improving the overall quality of their writing. Therefore, it can be concluded that image sequence media is an effective instructional strategy for teaching narrative writing at the junior high school level
