Abstract

This paper studies solidarity through thematic analysis within the positive framework of discourse analysis. Despite the fact that there are countless traces of solidarity in Prophet Muhammad's (Peace Be Upon Him and His Family) (henceforth PBUH) tradition, the author discovers a severe deficiency in researches investigating Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) safe conducts in the field of positive discourse analysis. In this line, it is decided to scrutinize solidarity in Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) safe conduct to non-Muslims. Firstly, a brief introduction that embraces the question, the aim and the hypothesis understudy is engaged. Secondly, positive discourse analysis is introduced according to several sources all of which approve that not all discourses are negative. Thirdly, the concept of solidarity and the criteria of thematic analysis are conducted and then the qualitative thematic analysis is followed by the quantitative inspection. Finally, results that signify traces of solidarity in the discourse understudy are qualitatively illustrated and quantitatively presented. The table demonstrates statistical result more evidently.
