The Resonance of Doomsday in Abdurrahman Shiddiq’s Poetry and its Relevance to the Qur'an

Abstract

This paper examines the resonance of the apocalypse in Abdurrahman Shiddiq's poetry and its relevance to the Qur'an. The problem raised is how the concept of doomsday described in Abdurrahman Shiddiq's poetry is in harmony with the teachings of the Qur'an. The purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the representation of the apocalypse in poetry and find the relevance and harmony with the verses of the Qur'an. The research method used is a qualitative method with a contextual thematic approach. The primary data used are Abdurrahman Shiddiq's poetries related to the theme of doomsday, while secondary data include Qur'anic commentaries and relevant literature. The analysis was conducted by comparing the description of the apocalypse in the poems with Qur'anic verses as well as examining scholars' interpretations of the theme. The results of the analysis show that Abdurrahman Shiddiq's poetries reflect a deep understanding of the concept of doomsday that is in line with the teachings of the Qur'an. The poetries contain strong moral and spiritual messages, reminding humanity of the coming of the Day of Judgment and the importance of living life with an awareness of the afterlife. This finding confirms that literature can be an effective medium for conveying religious messages that are relevant to sacred texts.
