Komunikasi Interpersonal dalam Film 172 Days: Analisis Qaulan Layyinan dan Qaulan Sadidan Perspektif Al-Qur’an

Abstract

Interpersonal communication is not merely an exchange of information; it also shapes emotional closeness, trust, and relationship quality. The film 172 Days presents character interactions that can be examined through Qur’anic communication ethics. This study analyzes the representation of qaulan layyinan and qaulan sadidan in the film’s interpersonal communication. It employs a descriptive qualitative approach and content analysis of dialogue, scenes, and character interactions. Data are purposively selected according to their relevance to the two Qur’anic principles. The analysis indicates that qaulan layyinan is represented through gentle language, sensitivity to emotional conditions, and considerate advice, while qaulan sadidan appears through openness, honesty, message accuracy, and communicative responsibility. These principles are complementary: gentleness without truth may conceal important issues, whereas truth delivered without tact may harm the recipient. Their integration offers an ethical framework that balances message accuracy, relational care, and moral responsibility. This study extends previous readings of 172 Days by applying Qur’anic communication ethics as an analytical lens. Nevertheless, systematic scene descriptions and dialogue excerpts are needed to make each interpretation traceable to the film data
