Abstract

Objectives: This study investigates the concept of identity as articulated in the works of Jamalu-Din Al-Afghani and Mohammed Abdo, published in Al-Orwatul-Wuthqa. The research focuses on the discursive strategies employed to present these texts to political elites, intellectuals, and the general public.

Methods: The study adopts discourse analysis methodologies, examining the interplay between identity, unity, and text. It explores how new intellectual paradigms were conveyed through language, context, and interaction, incorporating concepts of unity, fragmentation, and discourse-identity approaches. Additionally, it analyzes the processes of representation and transformation within the discourse.

Results: The study reveals that discourse elements, particularly in the political and media contexts, significantly influenced the Eastern populations' efforts toward unity and shed light on Western ambitions in the region. These discursive strategies highlighted the relationship between language, its methodologies, and the circulation of political and social ideas, illuminating the intricate links between language, context, and interaction. Jamalu-Din Al-Afghani and Mohammed Abdo played a pivotal role in shaping counter-colonial knowledge, raising awareness among the masses about the critical situation facing individuals and communities.

Conclusion: The study concludes that Al-Orwatul-Wuthqa was at the forefront of addressing issues of identity and the Islamic world's urgent need for unity and cohesion in the aftermath of significant internal and external conflicts. The journal’s discourse closely reflected the intellectual movements and shared concerns in the Eastern world.
