REPRESENTASI NILAI ZUHUD DAN KESABARAN DALAM FILM LASKAR PELANGI

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of the values of zuhud (asceticism) and patience in the film Laskar Pelangi (2008) through the perspective of Sufism morality. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study examines dialogues, characters, visual elements, and narrative structures in the film. The analysis is based on Stuart Hall’s theory of representation to understand how spiritual values are constructed and conveyed through cinematic media. The findings show that the character of Lintang represents the value of zuhud through his simple lifestyle, lack of attachment to material possessions, and strong commitment to education despite economic limitations. Meanwhile, the character of Bu Mus represents patience through her perseverance, sincerity, and dedication in educating students under difficult circumstances. These values are presented not only through dialogue but also through visual and narrative elements that reinforce their moral and spiritual significance. The study concludes that Laskar Pelangi functions as an educational medium that promotes Islamic moral values and demonstrates the relevance of zuhud and patience in facing social and personal challenges in contemporary life.
