The Principles of Islamic Faith in Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Sanata Dharma University, 2010. Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist is a novel which tells the story of Santiago, a simple shepherd boy from the Spanish countryside of Andalusia who decides to leave his land for a journey of accomplishing his destiny – to find precious treasure hidden near the Egyptian Pyramids. During his journey to reach his destination, Santiago undergoes numerous adventures and dangers until he is finally successful to find his treasure. The factor of faith or believing has a great contribution to the accomplishment of Santiago's destiny. The story of Santiago teaches the readers about the importance of faith. In fact, faith is the fundamental of all religions. And this study is conducted specifically to reveal religious teachings from The Alchemist, particularly about the principles of Islamic faith. There are two problems in this study. The first problem is to analyze the plot of the story. And the second problem is to find out the principles of Islamic faith in the novel through the plot of the story. To analyze or answer the existing problems, this study uses the method of library research. Several informations and data are collected through library research in order to support the analysis. One of the most important data is the article about six pillars of faith which describes comprehensively the major principles of Islamic faith. And since this study is intended to reveal the teachings and positive values contained in a literary work, the moral- philosophical approach is considered appropriate to be applied. In the analysis of plot which is divided into four sections (exposition, complication, climax, and denouement), it can be seen that the ideas of faith are clearly visible in the plot of the story. And in the next analysis, the definition of each principle of Islamic faith is described in detail. It can also be seen that each principle of the Islamic faith is represented or portrayed through plot of the story. viii ABSTRAK FAJAR KURNIAWAN. The Principles of Islamic Faith in Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. Yogyakarta: Jurusan Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Sastra, Universitas Sanata Dharma, 2010. The Alchemist karya Paulo Coelho adalah novel yang bercerita tentang Santiago, seorang pemuda gembala sederhana dari daerah pedalaman Andalusia di Spanyol yang memutuskan untuk meninggalkan negerinya demi berkelana mewujudkan takdirnya – yaitu untuk menemukan harta karun terpendam yang tersembunyi di dekat Piramida Mesir. Dalam perjalanannya menuju tujuannya, Santiago melewati banyak petualangan dan bahaya hingga akhirnya dia berhasil menemukan harta karun yang dicarinya. Faktor iman atau kepercayaan sangatlah berperan dalam pemenuhan takdir Santiago. Kisah Santiago mengajarkan pembaca tentang betapa pentingnya iman. Sesungguhnya iman adalah dasar dari semua agama. Dan studi ini secara khusus ditujukan untuk mengungkapkan ajaran-ajaran religius dari The Alchemist, khususnya tentang prinsip-prinsip iman Islam. Studi ini memuat dua permasalahan. Permasalahan pertama adalah untuk menganalisa plot cerita. Dan permasalahan kedua adalah untuk menemukan prinsip-prinsip iman Islam di dalam novel melalui plot cerita. Untuk menganalisa atau menjawab permasalahan-permasalahan yang ada, studi ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka. Beberapa teori dan data penting dikumpulkan melalui studi pustaka untuk mendukung analisis. Salah satu data terpenting adalah artikel tentang enam pilar iman yang menjelaskan secara komprehensif prinsip-prinsip utama iman Islam. Dan karena studi ini dimaksudkan untuk mengungkapkan ajaran dan nilai-nilai positif yang terkandung di dalam sebuah karya sastra, maka pendekatan moral-filsafat dirasakan tepat untuk diterapkan. Dalam analisis plot yang dibagi ke dalam empat bagian (awal, komplikasi, klimaks, dan akhir), dapat dilihat bahwa ide-ide mengenai iman sangat tampak di dalam plot cerita. Kemudian dalam analisis berikutnya, definisi dari masing-masing prinsip iman Islam terjabarkan secara detil. Dapat dilihat juga bahwa setiap prinsip iman Islam itu terwakili atau tergambarkan melalui plot cerita. ix CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study The Alchemist is a novel written by Paulo Coelho. It is first published in 1988. The novel has been known not only in Coelho's homeland, Brazil, but also throughout the world. The Alchemist tells the story of Santiago, a simple shepherd boy from the Spanish countryside of Andalusia who decides to travel across African desert for finding precious treasure hidden near the Egyptian Pyramids. Paulo Coelho himself is the all-time bestselling Portuguese language author. He has sold more than 100 million books in over 150 countries worldwide, and his works have been translated into 66 languages. Some of his works focus on love and the journeys of life. The Alchemist is probably the most famous work of Paulo Coelho. The Alchemist has been translated into more than 66 languages and sold more than 65 million copies in more than 150 countries. The Alchemist is appreciated by some critics as a novel that can provide a sense of hope for the readers. Mark Machaalani, the founder of Accomplish-Life, states on his website accomplishlife.com: The Alchemist is like a simple, motivational, yet exciting novel that bursts with optimism; it is the kind of novel that tells you that everything is possible as long as you really want it to happen. The main message I guess that is transmitted to readers is that “when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true” (2005). 1 The Alchemist is however not merely a motivational novel, but it contains religious values. The Alchemist brings the most fundamental principle of many religions about faith in the unity of God, that he is universal, eternal, all-knowing, all-seeing, and compassionate. This principle implies rejection of any other gods, except God himself. The Quran defines God as the one and only, he is indivisible, he does not beget, and he has no equal (Quran, 112:1-4). During his journey to reach the Egyptian Pyramids, Santiago undergoes numerous difficulties and dangers. But fortunately he encounters people who teach him to always have faith in God and the destiny. These people encourage Santiago to finish his journey in its accomplishment, and not to worry because everything has been written by the same hand. It means that God has already prepared answers to all of life's problems. By following the omens and signs given by God, Santiago is successful to find his treasure at the end of the story. “... God has prepared a path for everyone to follow. You just have to read the omens that he left for you” (30). “Allah created the armies, and he also created the hawks. Allah taught me the language of the birds. Everything has been written by the same hand,” the boy said... (116). He thought of the many roads he had traveled, and of the strange way God had chosen to show him his treasure... “... But the path was written in the omens, and there was no way I could get wrong,” he said to himself (175). Islam is a religion which gives great importance on faith. It is said that people can receive perfect guidance to reach their destinations if they have real faith.

  • Pakistan Response Towards Terrorism: a Case Study of Musharraf Regime
    PAKISTAN RESPONSE TOWARDS TERRORISM: A CASE STUDY OF MUSHARRAF REGIME By: SHABANA FAYYAZ A thesis Submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies The University of Birmingham May 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The ranging course of terrorism banishing peace and security prospects of today’s Pakistan is seen as a domestic effluent of its own flawed policies, bad governance, and lack of social justice and rule of law in society and widening gulf of trust between the rulers and the ruled. The study focused on policies and performance of the Musharraf government since assuming the mantle of front ranking ally of the United States in its so called ‘war on terror’. The causes of reversal of pre nine-eleven position on Afghanistan and support of its Taliban’s rulers are examined in the light of the geo-strategic compulsions of that crucial time and the structural weakness of military rule that needed external props for legitimacy. The flaws of the response to the terrorist challenges are traced to its total dependence on the hard option to the total neglect of the human factor from which the thesis develops its argument for a holistic approach to security in which the people occupy a central position.

  • The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab 3
    The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab 3 I The Motivation Behind This Work This book is not one with a political agenda. It is meant neither to support nor to critique any contemporary regimes or policies.1 Indeed, the driving force behind this work is much greater and more important than that. It has to do with, first, the religion of Islam as preached by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself and, second, with the honor and rights of an individual Muslim, Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab. The name Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab (and correspondingly “Wahhabis” and “Wahhabism”) has been heard quite often throughout both the Muslim and non-Muslim worlds during the past two centuries. In reality, ibn Abdul-Wahhaab is not a man who is “shrouded in mystery.” His writings, as well as the writings of his closest students and descendents, are well-known and easily available today in virtually any part of the world. Although he is not shrouded in mystery what has been said about him over the years has definitely been filled with both fact and fiction. Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab was both a fellow human being and a fellow Muslim. As such, he has the right to be studied in an impartial and objective manner. That is, he has the right to a “fair trial.” No matter how much one may oppose his teachings, one does 1 This means that many issues that are bandied about today must be considered beyond the scope of this particular work.

    Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful .......... The HOPE Bulletin ……….. Health, Ongoing Projects, Education (Vol. 4:3) September 2009 AAIIL Worldwide Edition Editor: Akbar Abdullah CALIFORNIA JAMA‘AT PROJECT: APPROVED BY THE CENTRAL ANJUMAN, LAHORE INTRODUCTION In this, the September 2009 edition of The HOPE Bulletin, we are pleased to introduce a new column, “History: Memoirs of Jama‘at (in the country under discussion)”. We have decided to begin with our Jama‘at in Indonesia where our revered muballig, Mirza Wali Ahmad Beg (1890-1971), missionary from Lahore, made a lasting impact within our Jama‘at in Indonesia. Captain Abdus Salam Khan, the author of the article on the life and mission of Mirza Wali Beg, has this to say: “He was not only a missionary; he was also a visionary and revolutionary. He was an ardent freedom lover and took an active part in the Khilafat Movement....” While covering this article we obtained valuable information from Dr. Zahid Aziz, Editor, The Light, UK edition, who has collected a reservoir of historical information about our elders of the Jama‘at. Now we are seeking from our worldwide Jama‘ats articles on the life and mission of our elite missionaries from Lahore who had influenced the growth and preservation of Jama‘ats in their respective regions. We would like to learn more about the life and mission of Maulana Sheikh Muhammad Tufail, Raja Bedar and others who had an impact in the growth of our Jama‘ats in the Caribbean countries of Trinidad, Suriname and Guyana. We also plan to cover the life and mission of Professor Muhammad Abdullah, and missionaries Mirza Muzaffar Beg and Hafiz Sher Muhammad who left a lasting impact and legacy on the growth and survival of our Jama‘at in the Fiji Islands.

For every rendering or explanation, I had to search Hadith collections, Lexicolo- gies, Commentaries and other important works, and every opinion expressed was substantiated by quoting authorities. Differences there have been in the past, and in future too there will be differences, but wherever I have differed I have given my authority for the difference. Moreover, the principle I have kept in view in this Transla- tion and Commentary, i.e., seeking the explanation of a problematic point first of all from the Holy Quran itself, has kept me nearest to the truth, and those who study the Quran closely will find very few occasions to differ with me.” — Maulana Muhammad Ali, writing in the Preface to the Revised 1951 Edition of his English Translation and Commentary of the Quran, on why reviewers found that his 1917 edition was followed by later Muslim translators (see also page 46).
