ABSTRACT This study explores the intersections of divine femininity and Islamic mysticism in Johann Wolfgang von GoetheAos Faust and West-ystlicher Divan [WestAeEastern Diva.
, positioning these canonical works as fertile ground for intercultural literary inquiry and postcolonial English Language Teaching (ELT).
Employing hermeneutic, intertextual, and comparative literary methods, this research uncovers GoetheAos engagement with Sufi metaphysics, the QurAoan, and Persian poetic traditionsAiparticularly his intertextual dialogue with Hafiz and the implicit spiritual kinship with Islamic thinkers such as Rabiah al-Adawiyah and Muhammad Iqbal.
Central to this inquiry is GoetheAos concept of the Ewig-Weibliche [Eternal Feminin.
, which, when read through Islamic mystical lenses, reveals a syncretic spiritual vision that transcends Orientalist binaries and patriarchal norms.
The paper argues that integrating these texts into ELT pedagogy encourages both aesthetic appreciation and critical intercultural understandingAiespecially within postcolonial.
Muslim-majority contexts like Indonesia.
By reinterpreting canonical Western literature through Islamic and gender-inclusive frameworks, this study contributes to both Goethean scholarship and transformative, decolonial approaches to literary pedagogy.
