Abstract

Leila Aboulela’s Minaret portrays Najwa’s struggle to become a devoted Muslim after she becomes an immigrant in London. The novel tells Najwa’s personal struggles with her faith and self-discovery, aligning with Kierkegaard’s three stages of aesthetic, ethical, and religious stage. This research aims to discuss Soren Kierkegaard existentialism in Leila Aboulela’s Minaret. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method using documentation technique and Kierkegaard three stages of life concept. The result of this research shows that Najwa passes three stages of life according to Kierkegaard existentialism. There are aesthetic, ethical, and religious stages. The aesthetic stage is indicated when Najwa’s life is ruled by passion. The ethical stage portrayed when she recognizes moral responsibility. While the religious stage is shown when she reaches a leap of faith and accepts God’s command. In the end, Najwa finds a sense of contentment and purpose through her renewed connection with her faith and a commitment to living authentically.
