This research observed Shirin’s Islamic identity. Focusing on the female
main character, Shirin, this research used a qualitative approach to analyze her
Islamic identity. This research aimed to reveal the inconsistency in Shirin’s Islamic
identity in this novel that used Deconstruction reading by Jacques Derrida. The data
were obtained by reading and marking the novel related to the analysis. Then, the
supporting analysis was based on articles and books. The identification of Shirin’s
Islamic identity is based on the concept of Identity construction in Islamic identity
proposed by Lori Peek which is ascribed, chosen, and declared identity. This
research finds that the Islamic identity in Shirin’s character that the novel portrayed
is an ascribed identity, from her parents; and, a declared identity, from the religious
crisis experience. However, Shirin’s Islamic identity is disturbed by how she
portrays her declared identity. The positive portrayal that she shows as a Muslim is
being a common American which is not different from others. Therefore, her
Muslim identity is inconsistent because she violates Islamic rules and neglects
Islamic teachings. It can be concluded that Shirin unconsciously deconstructs her
Islamic identity by being a common American teenager.
