This edition features studies addressing crucial and strategic issues in contemporary Arabic linguistics and literature. Ideological practices and semantic expansion are revealed through the translation analysis of cultural and religious lexicon in al-Jamāl Jarḥ and al-Raḥīq al-Makhtūm. The reinterpretation of classical religious texts is enriched through Qur'anic intertextuality in Bayt Baws and the reinterpretation of imperative meaning in Mukhtār al-Aḥādīth al-Nabawīyah. The dynamics of living language are highlighted through Acehnese interference in students' spoken Arabic and the Arabization of English culinary vocabulary in digital media. Diwan further affirms its contribution to discourse on political rhetoric and new media amid the region's geopolitical turbulence by unpacking bilingual audience design in Al Jazeera's coverage of the recent Iran–Israel–US conflict, as well as the metaphorization of Palestine in Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's speeches. This edition concludes with literature as spiritual-ideological expression and resistance on the eve of martyrdom, through a semiotic reading of the pesantren poem Yā Nahḍat al-'Ulamā' and Hiba Abū Nadā's last Facebook posts before her martyrdom in Khan Yunis, Gaza.
