Abstract


Prostitution is often perceived as contrary to norms, especially in Muslim-majority countries like Egypt and Indonesia. This is reflected in the short stories "Al-Jawwu Barid" by Najib al-Kilani and "Lelaki ke-1000 di Ranjangku" by Emha Ainun Najib. Both stories from different countries highlight the issues of prostitution and women as its perpetrators. This research uses these two short stories to explore the image of women as prostitutes from a cross-cultural perspective. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method by describing the portrayal of women in both stories and interpreting how the two authors construct these images from different perspectives. The results show that al-Kilani and Najib construct women as prostitutes in contradiction to Islamic teachings. Furthermore, Najib also emphasizes cultural aspects and health impacts, raising awareness regarding prostitution behavior in society.
