Abstract


This article discusses the hadith discourse on al-Zalzalah from a semiotic perspective by revealing the derivation of meanings and pseudonyms. Al-Zalzalah has several commensurate meanings, namely al-zalzalah, rajafa, harraka, faza'a, khasafa, shahib al-hadmi, and wa yadhaul alam. Based on the terms studied, the word al-Zalzalah can mean movement or shaking that occurs on the earth, which is then referred to as an earthquake. Furthermore, al-Zalzalah means a non-physical shock or tension, such as a societal shock triggered by social, political, or economic conflicts. This study was qualitative literature research with hadith, theology, socio-historical, scientific, and semiotic approaches. Data was collected with the following steps: takhrij al-hadith, classification of al-Zalzalah hadith, naqd al-hadith, and fiqh hadith. The results indicated some of the meanings of al-zalzalah from semiotic and pseudonymous studies, namely al-Zalzalah as a natural activity, a form of doom and the end of an empire, eschatological events that will occur in the future, the breakdown of morals in society, al-Zalzalah as the law of causality towards the end times, the signs of the great apocalypse, and al-Zalzalah occur because of the help of Almighty Allah to save the righteous.
