“…It contrasts with the ANNS program at Qatar University, where many non-Muslim participants came from various countries. Balraj, Singh, and Abd Manan (2020) emphasize that language is a tool for conveying religious messages. Arabic can survive as the language of the Islamic holy book, the Qur'an, unlike Sanskrit in Hinduism or Hebrew in Christianity.…”

This study investigates the relationship between Muslim identity and the belief in the Arabic language among students at non-Islamic Higher Education in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative case study approach, and data were collected using a simple random sample survey technique. The respondents were Muslim students at non-Islamic higher education in Jakarta, Makassar, Bogor, and Bandung who enrolled in non-Islamic and non-Arabic language study programs. The results show that the respondents considered Arabic a sacred language more than a foreign language. It is known based on most respondents studying the Qur'an at the elementary school level and some at the kindergarten level. In addition, even though their native language is not Arabic, they state that they have a high fluency in reading the Qu'ran and regularly read the Qu'ran at least once a week. However, they needed to be more convinced and interested in learning Arabic for communication skills like other foreign languages because most stated that learning Arabic is urgent to understand Islam.

Religious discourse offers significant value for linguistic analysis. Functional analysis of religious texts provides a lexico-semantic approach to interpreting these discourses, though it remains underexplored in the literature. To fill this gap, the study undertook a functional analysis of the Parable of the Sower within the framework of transitivity. A mixed-method approach was employed. The text was taken from the Modern English Version (MEV) (Mark 4:1-20). The process types and their participants and the worldview of the parable were analysed within the framework. The material process type dominated the text, occurring 42 times. This was followed by the relational, mental, verbal and behavioural process types. The actor participant dominated the data. The text is highly action-oriented with the world of the text concerned with happenings, movements and tangible actions. The worldview of the parable could be described as: the nature of Christians upon receiving the word and instructions towards bearing fruits. Enthusiasm, materialism, double-minded and being stressed characterize the nature of Christians upon receiving the word while commitment, focus, steadfastness and faithfulness represent the instructions towards seed bearing. The textual and interpersonal metafunctions of language should be employed to consolidate the findings presented in this paper.

“…It entails a vital feature of religious belongingnessreligion refers to not only a single individual, but it also embraces all representatives of a group under the same shared beliefs, rituals, prayers and codes of behaviour. Each religion has a particular history and different way of looking at the world (1,1219). However, the belief that is equally accepted by all religious communities is the existence of external and supernatural power, and such an unconditional reality is entitled differently from religion to religion: the existence of Almighty: Allah, God, Jesus, Brahma, Holy Spirit; sacred places -Mecca and Medina, Jerusalem, Kashi and Oudh and lines of other religious values (1,1220).…”
