LEADERSHIP CONCEPT IN THE QURAN (A SEMANTIC ANALYSIS) 4946

This thesis is explore the concept of leadership in the holy Quran viewed by semantic approach. Therefore, the writer would like to try to understand the meaning of key word used by Quran in explaining about the leadership concept. Semantic Quran that is introduced by Toshihiko Izutsu, a Japanese scientist is one of many methods to understand the contents of Quran. Semantic is not only giving interpretation of Quran based on the understanding of a reader but also looking for the weltanschauung of Quran it self.

In this thesis, the writer interested in studying about the leadership concept because it topic is not far from human life. Every country, community, group, and family always needs someone to be a leader to arrange everything around them. When there is no a leader, a community will be clutter. This showed that a leader is very important in human life.

This thesis is limited to the understanding of the meaning of many key words that used by Quran to explore the leadership concept. Many terms that understood as leader that used in the Quran are khalifah, ulul amri, imam, malik, waly, and sulthan. Although they are understood in the same meaning, but there is no synonym according to semantic approach. Semantic analysis will show the different meaning among to give evidence that they are really not same. Then, by the history of it word will show that a meaning of word can be changing. The understanding of those terms is very different when used by Arabic before Al Quran sent down and when used by Quran.

From the research, the writer can conclude that the leadership terms that used by Quran which have the same meaning in a translation, actually they are totally different. They have their basic and relational meaning. And by the time, they are changing independently in it own unique way. The word can be stopped growing by the public, the word can be continued for a long time, and the word can be started in certain time. Most of leadership terms are used in a long time up to now, but the word sultan is just appear in Abbasid era.  DOWNLOAD FILE LENGKAPNYA
