Refutation of the Dominant Role of Mothers in Forming Children's Character: A Study of the Text Structure and Meaning of Father-Son Dialogue in the Qur'an through a Literary Sociology Perspective

This research is based on the finding that the dialogue between parents and their sons as immortalized in the Qur'an is more dialogue between fathers and their sons than dialogues between mothers and their sons. Logically, the long journey full of struggle that a mother goes through starting from conceiving, giving birth, nurturing and raising her children, of course has an impact on the amount of interaction and communication between mother and child. However, in fact the dialogue between parents and their children that is immortalized in the Qur'an is more of a dialogue between fathers and their children. Therefore, this research aims to reveal the structure and meaning of the dialogue between a father and his son in the verses of the Qur'an through the use of literary sociology theory, namely genetic structuralism. From the discussion it was found that the language structure of the dialogue between father and son varied, some used the ma'aniy language style, and some used the bayan language style. The use of the interjection “يا“ to call someone close by is a perfect signal to indicate the position of the person being called. In terms of meaning, the father's dialogue with his son shows the father's function as a provider of the foundation of faith, a guide in carrying out Islamic law, as well as an educator and character builder. From the results of the discussion it can be concluded that the father's dialogue with his son refutes the dominant role of the mother in forming son's character, and emphasizes the main role of the father.
