The Portrayal Religious Moderation In Yusuf Azeem Is Not a Hero And Home Fire Comparative Literature Study

---

This study examines the portrayal of religious moderation in the novels Yusuf Azeem
Is Not a Hero by Saadia Faruqi and Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie using a
comparative literature approach. The research analyzes how the characters in both
novels present the principles of interfaith dialogue, non-violence and tolerance in
response to discrimination and prejudice. The findings of this study show
similarities in the stories of Muslim minorities in the West who experience
discrimination and differences in the portrayal of religious moderation through
characters where the characters in Yusuf Azeem portray harmony in response to
discrimination while Home Fire portrays religious moderation from an anti-violence
perspective. In the novel Yusuf Azeem Is Not a Hero, which tells the story of Muslim
minorities in the West, religious moderation is depicted more through the harmony
and adaptive attitudes of the characters in responding to discrimination, which
shows how the characters in the story strive to maintain a balance between their
religious identity and building interfaith relationships, especially in a contemporary
setting full of modernity and discrimination. Meanwhile, in ‘Home Fire,’ the focus of
religious moderation is more on an anti-violence perspective, showing a middle
ground that rejects extremism and violence as a means of resolving conflict,
particularly in the context of Muslim minorities facing social and political pressure in
the West.
