Repetition as Rhetorical Strategy in the English Translation of Surah Al-Mursalat: A Stylistic and Discourse Analysis

M. Asril Marpaung
Abstract: This study investigates the rhetorical and discourse functions of repetition in the English translation of Surah Al-Mursalat by M.A.S. Abdel Haleem, focusing on the refrain “Woe on that Day to those who denied the truth.”… h.” Using a qualitative descriptive method grounded in stylistics and discourse analysis, the study explores how this fixed phrase, repeated ten times across the chapter, operates at multiple linguistic levels. The analysis reveals that the refrain serves three interrelated functions: stylistically, it foregrounds divine warning and creates rhythmic cohesion; structurally, it segments the surah into thematic units and signals discourse boundaries; rhetorically, it intensifies condemnation and engages the reader emotionally through cumulative repetition. Abdel Haleem’s consistent rendering of the refrain retains these functions effectively, unlike other translations that introduce lexical variation. The findings demonstrate that repetition in Qur’anic translation is not merely ornamental but performs essential linguistic and communicative roles. This study contributes to Qur’anic stylistics, translation studies, and discourse analysis by showing that sacred texts, when translated with rhetorical sensitivity, can preserve the stylistic integrity of the original.

Analysis of Extreme Weather Causes of Flooding in Manado North Sulawesi

Ni Luh Made Anik Evaria, Rafa Zafirah Istiqomah
Abstract: On January 27 and 28 2023, Manado City was hit by heavy rain which caused several areas to experience significant flooding. The high intensity of rain during that period reached extreme levels, resulting in the inundation… n of several areas and submerging hundreds of residents' houses in 22 villages or sub-districts and 7 sub-districts in Manado. In studying this event, this research investigates the factors that influence extreme weather in Manado, observing sea surface temperature data, streamlines, air observations, the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). The analysis shows that the positive SOI and negative IOD phenomena significantly impact extreme weather in the region. Cumulonimbus (Cb) clouds drove the atmospheric conditions formed on January 27 and 28 2023 and air flows from the Indian Ocean which brought wet air masses into Indonesian territory. High sea surface temperatures, reaching 28-29°C, also play a role in the intensive growth of rain clouds. Based on atmospheric conditions seen from radiosonde observation data, the stability index value shows that unstable conditions trigger heavy rain which causes flooding

Implikasi Peraturan Presiden Nomor 68 Tahun 2025 terhadap Transaksi Digital Lintas Negara oleh Pelaku Usaha Indonesia

Muhammad Faiz Hakim, Deril Anshar Baik Irwanto, Yusril Mashur Tjaja
Abstract: Transformasi digital global telah mendorong peningkatan signifikan transaksi lintas batas (cross border digital transaction), yang pada akhirnya menimbulkan kebutuhan mendesak akan regulasi pajak yang adaptif dan efektif.… . Lahirnya Peraturan Presiden Nomor 68 Tahun 2025 merupakan respon strategis pemerintah Indonesia untuk mengatur pemungutan Pajak Pertambahan Nilai (PPN) atas transaksi digital lintas negara, sekaligus menjaga kepastian hukum serta meningkatkan penerimaan negara. Penelitian ini menganalisis secara komprehensif mengenai implikasi regulasi tersebut terhadap pelaku usaha Indonesia, baik domestik maupun asing, dengan fokus pada aspek implementasi teknis, kesesuaian dengan amanat konstitusi Pasal 23A UUD 1945, potensi sengketa perdagangan internasional, serta dampaknya terhadap kepastian hukum dan tanggung jawab kontraktual. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa meskipun Perpres 68 Tahun 2025 berpotensi memperkuat level playing field dan meningkatkan daya saing usaha domestik, tantangan serius masih muncul terkait keterbatasan akses data transaksi, kepatuhan pelaku usaha asing, serta potensi disharmoni dengan prinsip perdagangan internasional seperti Most Favoured Nation (MFN) dan National Treatment. Dari perspektif konstitusional, regulasi ini memerlukan landasan yang lebih kokoh agar tidak dipandang sebagai ultra vires terhadap Pasal 23A UUD 1945. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa keberhasilan implementasi regulasi tersebut bergantung pada integrasi sistem lintas yurisdiksi, penyederhanaan beban administrasi, serta penguatan kerja sama internasional. Dengan demikian, Perpres 68 Tahun 2025 dapat menjadi instrumen penting dalam membangun sistem perpajakan digital yang adil, transparan, dan berdaya saing di tengah kompetisi ekonomi global.
