PANDANGAN DUNIA ALI AHMAD BAKATSIR DALAM NOVEL SALLAMAH AL-QAS ANALISIS STRUKTURALISME GENETIK LUCIEN GOLDMANN

This research aims to expose Ali Ahmad Bakatsir�s novel published in 1944, Sallam�h al-Q�s (SA). While it used genetic structuralism proposed by Lucien Goldmann, the expression of world view is analyzed through the novel�s textual structure based on dialectical method. Such method works based on reciprocal concept between the world view and textual structure. Hence, the research starts from textual structure exposure together with the world view. The world view found in the novel reflects human�s consciousness and attempts seeking better values. The view reflected in the novel is school of thought of Jabariyah which is greatly influenced by Qadariyah. Such a school of thought is a mixed Qadariyah and Jabariyah taking the middle ground between the two to balance the life of this world and the Hereafter. Each life is getting a balanced portion. Based on formulation of the novel�s world view, it is noted that its textual structure reflects the novel�s world view, which is centered on Abdurrahman and his thoughts, remarks, or acts. Abdurrahman, a environmentally degraded hero, is understood from his relation with other figures and objects as well as binary opposition within the novel. The novel�s structure is linked to socio-cultural circumstances of Arab society of Mecca and Medina during Umayya dynasty, in the post-Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, namely Yazid ibn Abdul Malik. Such situation points to Bakatsir�s experience as an author whose novel reveals the dynamic lives in Mecca and Medina laden with exemplary mannerism such as The Prophet Muhammad�s behaviour stressing a balance between the world and the hereafter life. Meanwhile, a social group giving great influence to Bakatsir is Hasan al- Banna�s circle which comprises assorted people, like farmers, teachers, doctors, engineers, and lawyers. The group attempts to open people�s mind, particularly Muslims, concerning the unity of Muslims and avoid fruitless debates that might lead to friction among Muslims
