Religious Moderation through Love and Understanding in the Novel Love from A to Z by S.K. Ali (2019)
This study explores Love and Understanding as the reflection of religious
moderation in the novel Love from A to Z by S.K. Ali and focuses on how the values
of love and understanding influence the characters’ response to prejudice and
diversity. This study uses a Qualitative method and applies the theory of Genetic
Structuralism by Lucien Goldmann to examine how the author's socio-historical
structure as a Muslim woman in the West shapes these values. The findings reveal
that Love from A to Z depicts key aspects of religious moderation, including
tolerance, anti-violence, acceptance of tradition, and national commitment
through the acts of the characters. The study also finds that the author’s identity
as a South Asian Canadian Muslim and her experiences in a post 9/11 Western,
strongly shaped the novel. Muslim authors like S.K. Ali have emerged to promote
and convey to the world the true essence of Islam, especially in response to the
widespread misunderstandings and misconceptions in the media about Muslims
themselves. By examining how moderation is conveyed through narrative, this
research highlights the role of literature in promoting understanding across
religious and cultural differences.
