Abstract

This study discusses about a figurative language realized in a song created by Maher Zain. Figurative language is sometimes difficult to interpret for the general listeners. Moreover, not everyone is able to interpret the true meaning of figurative languages, especially in Maher Zain’s song. The study focuses in only one song namely Huwa Al-Qur’an because the lyrics may express the singer’s feeling or depiction about condition or situation faced by him. To collect the data writer used following steps: a) the writer searched the material in internet; b) the writer read the song lyrics carefully to get the understanding with the meaning of the lyrics which contain figurative languages; c) the writer collected some references that related to the study to support this analysis; d) the writer classified the lyrics into sentences to find the lyrics which contain figurative languages; e) the writer analyzed Maher Zain song lyrics to find out the implicit meaning of the lyrics which contain figurative languages; and f) the writer described the contribution of Maher Zain song lyrics in teaching poetry. The study found that there were four types of figurative language found in the lyrics. They are synecdoche, hyperbole, personification, and allusion. Allusion was the biggest number of figurative language found in the lyric while synecdoche and hyperbole was the less number of figurative language found in the lyric.
