Abstract

As complete professional texts, sermons could be analyzed based on Swales’ framework of move analysis to reveal
their conventional schematic structure. Thus, the current study aims at analyzing and comparing the rhetorical moves in
English non-Friday sermons by female and male most influential Islamic scholars using Swales’, Pho’s, Hardjanto’s,
Biber’s, and Wang’s model of genre analysis. The research consists of a small corpus of four non-Friday sermons of
Yasmin Mogahed, Dalia Mogahed, Mufti Ismail Menk, and Shaykh Omar Suleiman. The result depicts that female and
male Islamic scholars have similarities and differences in organizing the rhetorical moves for their non-Friday sermons.
The similarities could be observed in the terms of implementing three obligatory moves and three obligatory steps. The
differences are found in the terms of step occurrence in which the scholars employ relatively different six prototypical
steps and twenty-five optional steps. Moreover, the female and male scholars have different step schematic orders in
their openings and closings. Although there is no significant difference in the sermons by female and male influential
Islamic scholars due to the limited corpus, this initial study is expected to create a new model for more comprehensive
research to include a larger corpus with a genre-based approach and mixed-method applied to non-Friday sermons and
to provide a better understanding and writing English sermon texts.
Keywords: Genre analysis, Islamic scholars, Non-friday sermons.
