COMPARING THE CONCEPT OF SUFISM AS PORTRAYED IN KAHLIL GIBRAN’S THE PROPHET AND RAJA ALI HAJI’S GURINDAM DUA BELAS
This research aims to determine the meaning of Sufism and how it is portrayed in Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet and Raja Ali Haji's Gurindam Dua Belas, including their similarities and differences. The study uses Michael Riffaterre's semiotic theory, which includes heuristic and hermeneutic readings, indirect expression, matrix, model and variant analysis, and hypogram identification. The findings indicate that while Sufism is not the main topic in The Prophet, its traces are evident, particularly in the chapters on prayer, religion, and death. The study also finds that Gurindam Dua Belas directly conveys Islamic teachings, with explicit mentions of terms related to Islamic values. Despite differences in writing structure, both works predominantly use metaphors and metonymy, with The Prophet leaning towards a more poetic and mystical tone, while Gurindam Dua Belas is straightforward and easily understood. The research concludes that Islamic Sufism influenced the creation of The Prophet, particularly in the portrayal of prayer and religion, and the perception of death as the end of life, aligning with Sufism's goal to unite humanity and their gods through makrifat. On the other hand, Gurindam Dua Belas directly incorporates various aspects of Sufism, including Syara’a, tariqah, al-Haqq, and ma'rifat, in accordance with Islamic values.
