Abstract: Since the Coronavirus, numerous studies have examined ways in which people communicate news or information surrounding the pandemic. This specialized discourse can be seen particularly with regard to discussions from a political, economic or social view, but rarely are there research exploring how the virus is communicated from a faith-based perspective. This paper acts as a preliminary case study that describes one Islamic research institution and its efforts to compile writings on scholarly view of the pandemic shared freely on the internet. More specifically, the work explores language used in these writings that may be different to ones that are for a more general audience. Using the corpus linguistic approach, a collection of these articles are firstly compared against the Covid-19 corpus on Sketch Engine where keywords analysis reveal salient words that are more faith-based in terms of discussing the topic (e.g. words referring to God, acts of devotion and martyrdom). Further analysis includes examining collocations as well as investigating the use of certain words in more detail via concordancing (words in context). The main difference in language use between the two corpora is noticeable in the way that there are more words referring to God and the Prophet as well as words related to faith. Accordingly, these articles “tackle” issues relating to the virus in terms of the concept of ‘tawakkul’, which means reliance on or trust in Allah (or God), whether the virus is a punishment or a mercy, as well as how to deal with grief. Articles from this Islamic institution, although located in the United States, stimulate the faith-based discussion of how Muslims and non-Muslims alike can obtain information regarding the virus from the well-researched Islamic content provided and in turn, help readers to cope with the pandemic during these unprecedented times. Keywords: Coronavirus, Covid-19, Corpus Linguistics, Sketch Engine, Islamic Views

Reviewer: Nor Faridah Abdul Manaf, Department of E.nglish Language and Literature, International Islamic University Malaysia. Norwegian Professor Ingrid Rudie is not a new name in social anthropological research on Malay women. She has researched andpublished extensively on women in Islamic societies, changing roles of Malay village women and Malay female leadership. In the Visible Women in East Coast Malay Society, Rudie describes her research (done over the period of 8 months between visits in 1986 and 1988) as a follow-up study of her earlier research in Kelantan in 1964-5. The second study investigates changes in gender relations especially concerning women who in 1965, were seen as having wider and freer roles as wives, mothers and businesswomen. They owned, inherited, bought and sold land. They dominated the bazaar and had more say on family economy and family politics. As Rudie charts changes and development of Malay women in Kelantan in the 1960s and later 1980s, one is reminded of an assertion brought forth by Malaysian anthropologist, Professor Wazir Jahan Karim in her book Women and Culture: Between Malay Adat and Islam. Karim argues that the Malay ad at (custom/tradition) liberates Malay women and gives them freedom to say and act. Rudie seems to share this belief but observes that the long established customary laws favouring women continue to thrive despite the Islamic revival in the 1980s:
审稿人:Nor Faridah Abdul Manaf,马来西亚国际伊斯兰大学英语语言文学系。挪威教授Ingrid Rudie在马来女性的社会人类学研究中并不是一个新名字。她研究并发表了大量关于伊斯兰社会妇女、马来乡村妇女角色变化和马来女性领导的文章。在《东海岸马来社会的可见女性》一书中,鲁迪将她的研究(在1986年至1988年的8个月期间进行)描述为她1964-5年在吉兰丹进行的早期研究的后续研究。第二项研究调查了性别关系的变化,尤其是在1965年,女性被认为作为妻子、母亲和商业女性扮演着更广泛、更自由的角色。他们拥有、继承、买卖土地。她们主宰着集市,对家庭经济和家庭政治有更多的发言权。鲁迪描绘了吉兰丹马来女性在20世纪60年代和80年代后期的变化和发展,让人想起马来西亚人类学家瓦兹尔·贾汗·卡里姆教授在她的著作《妇女与文化:马来Adat与伊斯兰教之间》中提出的一个主张。Karim认为马来人的习俗/传统解放了马来人妇女,给予她们言论和行动的自由。Rudie似乎也认同这一观点,但他注意到,尽管20世纪80年代伊斯兰教复兴,但长期以来建立的有利于妇女的习惯法仍然蓬勃发展。

The scientific and technological developments during the 18th and' the 19th centuries ensured material progress of the West, as well as emergence of the West as the dominating power which colonized the rest of the world. During the post-colonial phase, Islam emerged as a revitalized sociopolitical force. This has been mistaken as a threat by the West, and Islam has been portrayed as the "new enemy after the demise of communism. This is partly an effort to establish a Western identity, which is disintegrating due to lack of a challenge; and partly a reflection of the failure of Muslims to realize the social and ethical ideals of Islam.
