Taḥlīl Akhṭā’ Al-Kitābati Ṭullāb Al-Faṣli Aṡ-Ṡānī min Madrasati Mutawassiṭah Penyejuk Mata Hati Al-Islāmiyyah Surabaya, Jāwā Asy-Syarqiyyah
This study aims to analyze spelling errors in Arabic writing among second-grade students at Madrasah Mutawasithah Penyejuk Mata Hati Surabaya using a descriptive qualitative approach. The research sample consisted of six second-grade students, and the data were collected through observation, interviews, and written tests. The data were then analyzed through the stages of error identification, classification, interpretation, and correction. The results of the study revealed various types of spelling errors, including errors in writing hamzah, errors in word separation and connection, letter errors, as well as combined and semantic errors. It was found that errors in writing hamzah were the most dominant. The causes of these errors included weak mastery of spelling rules, lack of practice, limited ability to distinguish letter sounds, and weak general language comprehension. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the students’ writing skills still need improvement through the implementation of more effective teaching methods, such as intensive imla’ (dictation) exercises, gradual reinforcement of spelling and grammar rules, and the use of varied and engaging learning strategies to enhance students’ Arabic writing abilities.

Pengembangan Media Scrabble dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab
This study aims to develop a Scrabble-based learning medium for teaching Arabic vocabulary and to determine its feasibility and effectiveness in improving student learning outcomes. The background of this study is based on the problem that vocabulary instruction is still dominated by rote memorization and the use of textbooks, which causes students to forget quickly, be less active, and easily become bored. Therefore, there is a need for innovative learning media that are interactive and enjoyable. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model proposed by Robert Maribe Branch, which includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The study sample consisted of 31 students. The research instruments comprised an expert validation sheet as well as pretest and post-test assessments to measure improvements in learning outcomes. The validation results indicate that the developed Scrabble-based learning medium is suitable for use in instruction. The pilot test results show an increase in students’ average scores from 73 on the pretest to 87 on the posttest, representing a 14-point improvement. Thus, the Scrabble-based medium is effective in enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery and can serve as an innovative and participatory alternative for Arabic language instruction.

Tarqiyat Mahārāt al-Imlā' al-'Arabī ladā al-Ṭullāb min Khilāl al-Imlā' al-Jārī: Baḥth Ijrā'ī Ṣaffī fī Ma'had al-Barakah al-Islāmī
Writing is a complex and essential skill in Arabic language acquisition, with orthography (Imla’) serving as its fundamental pillar. However, students at Al-Barakah Islamic Boarding School encounter significant difficulties in spelling accuracy due to limited understanding of linguistic rules and conventional teaching methods. Preliminary data showed an average score of 65, falling below the minimum mastery criterion (KKM) of 70. This study aims to improve students' Arabic orthography skills through the implementation of the Running Dictation technique. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and Taggart model, consisting of four stages: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and pre- and post-tests. The findings indicate that the Running Dictation technique was effectively implemented and significantly enhanced students' writing proficiency. This improvement is evidenced by the consistent rise in average scores across cycles: starting from 39.16 in the pre-cycle, increasing to 59.33 in Cycle I, 82.16 in Cycle II, and reaching 88.33 in Cycle III. The Running Dictation technique is an effective pedagogical tool for improving Arabic orthography skills in the Islamic boarding school context.

Kesalahan Sintaksis pada Retorika Bahasa Arab (Perspektif Pemerolehan Bahasa)
Syntax errors in learning Arabic often occur due to the influence of First Language Acquisition. This text discusses the analysis of Syntax errors that occur in Arabic language rhetoric by examining the possibility of language interference leading to these errors. The research method used in this study is Qualitative Research. The results of the analysis of Syntax errors reveal that in Arabic Rhetoric conducted by students of Arabic Language Education at Walisongo State Islamic University, Semarang, there are several forms of errors, including: 1. Tarkib Idhafiy; 2. Tarkib Washfiy; 3. Mafu’ul Bihi; 4. Al-Athfi; dan 5. Munada. The results of the study on the causes of Syntax errors from the perspective of First Language Acquisition are as follows: 1. Tarkib Idhafiy, In Indonesian, combination of two nouns does not require a syntactic rule. 2. Tarkib Washfiy: In Indonesian, adjectives are usually prefixed with the word "Ter-" as the example "Terpelajar" and don’t follow grammatical rules. 3. Mafu’ul Bihi: In Indonesian, there are no diacritics or letters within the word structure.4 . Al-Athfi: The use of conjunctions doesn’t have grammatical rules in Indonesian. 5. Munada: In Indonesian, Interjection words like "Hai" do not have a grammatical structure.

Nisā’ dalam Al-Qur’an: Kajian Morfologi dan Semantik Arab
Contemporary Islamic law is often criticized as being discriminatory toward women, prompting Muslim feminist movements to demand gender equality and a reconstruction of Quranic interpretation. This study explores the semantic and morphological complexities of the term "Nisa’" in the Quran, challenging traditional interpretations that often frame women in a position of domesticity or intellectual inferiority. The research utilizes a linguistic approach, referencing the Lisan al-Arab dictionary and semantic theories to analyze whether "Nisa’" acts solely as the plural of mar’ah (woman) or if it also derives from nasi’ (something delayed or added). The analysis yields two significant reinterpretations: Surat an-Nisa: 34: The term al-rijal (often translated as "men") is interpreted as a quality of "active movement" (at-tarajjul), while al-nisa’ refers to those who are socially or economically "lagging". Consequently, leadership is not a gender monopoly but a role granted based on competence, ethics, and financial ability. Surat al-Baqarah: 223: Rather than being interpreted in a sexual context, the verse is viewed as a command for social charity. Here, al-nisa’ refers to the socially, economically, or intellectually marginalized, and the "plowing" (al-hars) refers to the act of gathering good deeds by uplifting these disadvantaged groups. The study concludes that interpreting al-nisa’ as a plural of al-nasi’ provides a more dynamic and gender-just horizon for Quranic exegesis, aligning the text with modern social realities.

Cognitive Scaffolding Through AI Writing Assistants: Mixed Methods Evidence from Arabic Language Education Students
This study examines whether AI writing assistants function as cognitive scaffolds that enhance students’ academic journal writing in an Arabic Language Education program in STAI Masjid Syuhada Yogyakarta. Using a mixed methods quasi experimental design, the research involved 90 final year students divided into an AI assisted writing group and a comparison group using conventional support. The intervention group employed tools such as Chat GPT, Grammarly, and SciSpace throughout drafting and revision, while the comparison group relied on instructor guidance and standard writing resources. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test writing assessments using an analytic rubric, alongside reflective journals and structured questionnaires. Quantitative results indicated a statistically significant improvement in writing quality for the AI assisted group with large effect sizes (Cohen’s d > 1.0). Qualitative evidence suggests that students used AI output to generate ideas, refine outlines, and troubleshoot language, but still required human feedback to ensure rhetorical fit, disciplinary accuracy, and ethical authorship. Overall, the findings position AI writing assistants as cognitive scaffolds that can expand access to timely feedback and promote learner autonomy, while underscoring the need for explicit integrity guidance and instructor oversight.

Stilistika Bab Al-Aqdam dalam Kitab Idhotun Nasyi’in sebagai Landasan Literasi Moral dalam Membaca Teks Arab
This study examines how stylistic devices in the Al-Aqdam chapter of Idhotun Nasyi’in construct the moral value of courage and how this construction supports moral literacy in classical Arabic text learning. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research analyzes stylistic features such as qashr, tawkid, uslub amr, targhib–tarhib, historical contrast, and visual metaphors. The findings reveal that courage is not presented through normative definitions but constructed rhetorically as a binding moral obligation. Qashr and tawkīd position courage as duty; uslub amr urges action; historical contrast prompts ethical reflection; and visual metaphors with targhib–tarhib emphasize the social consequences of passivity. The text concludes with spiritual reinforcement, framing courage as an act of faith. These findings suggest that teaching classical Arabic texts should integrate stylistic analysis to foster moral literacy, enabling learning to go beyond linguistic competence toward internalized ethical behavior.

Indonesian-Arabic Interference in Translating Theses Abstracts: A Case Study of PBA Students at UIN Padangsidimpuan
This study aims to analyze the interference of Indonesian in Arabic translation among students of the Arabic Language Education program, focusing on morphological, syntactic, and lexical errors. The research employed quantitative, qualitative, and descriptive approaches, with data collected through a document study of students’ theses translated from Indonesian into Arabic. The analysis was conducted to identify the types of errors, their frequency, and the underlying factors affecting translation quality. The findings indicate that Indonesian interference occurs at multiple linguistic levels, affecting the coherence, cohesion, and stylistic appropriateness (Uslub) of the translated texts. Morphological errors included word-for-word translation, incorrect verb conjugation, and gender disagreement; syntactic errors involved word order, misuse of conjunctions, and improper clause combination; while lexical errors consisted of inappropriate word choice, literal translation of idiomatic expressions, and inaccurate use of technical terms. These results underscore the need for targeted training in linguistic rules, stylistic norms, and discourse practice, alongside the development of cultural and pragmatic awareness. The study concludes that Indonesian interference significantly influences Arabic translation, manifesting at morphological, syntactic, and lexical levels.

Using Film Media in Tarjamah Learning to Understand the Meaning of Sentences based on Bloom's Taxonomy Theory
Variations in media in learning play a role in making it easier for students to understand teaching material. The use of film media sourced from YouTube is an alternative for increasing students' understanding in tarjamah learning, one of which is to understand the meaning of sentences. On that basis, this research aims to analyze tarjamah learning to understand the meaning of sentences based on Bloom's Taxonomy Theory. This research uses a qualitative research design with a case study research design on Arabic Language and Literature students at UIN Imam Bonjol Padang. Data collection techniques include interviews, observation and documentation. The research data is in the form of tarjamah learning results and the implementation of learning activities using films. The data analysis technique uses four stages, namely data collection, data condensation, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of the research show that the use of film media in tarjamah learning in understanding the meaning of sentences is still classified as applied learning which shows in the C5 domain (evaluating types of meaning), while the classification of meaning obtained from one of the films and student assignments shows 16 denotative and connotative meanings, 10 types of idioms and two sentence forms, namely ismiyyah and fi'liyyah. On that basis, researchers recommend testing its effectiveness quantitatively.

Psychological Obstacle among Arabic Language Learners: Implementing E-Counseling Strategies in Higher Education
This study examines the implementation of e-counseling to help students overcome psychological problems while studying Arabic at university. Through a qualitative approach consisting of in-depth interviews with lecturers and student questionnaires, the study found that e-counseling conducted via WhatsApp, Zoom, Google Meet, and Siakad was able to provide effective emotional support, improve self-understanding, reduce academic stress, and revitalize learning motivation. Lecturers as counselors demonstrated high responsiveness and empathy, so students felt comfortable sharing academic and personal issues. Despite the positive impact, the study also identified several obstacles such as network limitations, minimal service socialization, and busy student schedules that hampered the counseling process. These findings confirm that e-counseling is a relevant alternative psychological service for digital generation students and can be optimized through institutional support, increased digital literacy, and strengthening online service systems in universities.

Pragmatic Economic Engagement between China and Saudi Arabia: Power, Interests, and the Sustainable Development
In recent years, China–GCC relations have strengthened significantly, particularly in the economic domain, with growing trade and investment ties indicating a shift toward more structured and institutionalized partnerships. China has established itself as one of the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) most significant trading partners, not only through its substantial energy imports but also via its expanding investments across critical sectors, including infrastructure, advanced technology, and renewable energy. This relationship is underpinned by pragmatic considerations, as GCC states endeavor to diversify their external partnerships and mitigate their long-standing reliance on Western allies. At the same time, China views the Gulf region as a reliable energy source and a promising market for investments, especially within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. However, this cooperative trajectory is not without potential challenges. Chief among them is the enduring alignment of Gulf states with traditional alliances—most notably their strategic relationship with the United States, which continues to serve as the primary security umbrella for the region. Such overlapping alliances raise serious questions about the sustainability of China-GCC relations within this complex web of geopolitical balances, particularly if great power interests come into conflict or external pressures emerge that could disrupt the cooperative momentum. Against this backdrop, the central question this paper addresses is whether political and economic pragmatism can provide a sufficient foundation for the long-term sustainability of China-Gulf relations amid an increasingly uncertain and polarized international environment. To answer this question, the study adopts pragmatist theory as a conceptual framework to interpret the foreign behavior of states beyond ideological commitments, and relies on in-depth interviews method to examine the features of this relationship.

Kajian Semantik-Fonologis atas Lagu “Nour” Karya Zap Tharwat dan Amina Khalil
This study is a stylistic analysis focusing on the semantic and phonological aspects of the song “Nour” by Zap Tharwat and Amina Khalil. The aim of this research is to reveal how sound and meaning interact to construct a distinctive aesthetic and ideological system within modern Arab musical texts. Employing a stylistic approach (al-uslūbiyyah/ الأسلوبية), this study integrates linguistic analysis—covering phonological, syntactic, and semantic dimensions—with a socio-cultural perspective that highlights the representation of women and discourses of social struggle in the song’s lyrics. The findings indicate that language in “Nour” functions as a medium of symbolic resistance against patriarchal structures, as well as a means of expressing modern spirituality through the symbol of light (nūr/ نور). This symbol not only conveys religious meanings but also reflects hope, awareness, and emancipation within the context of contemporary Arab society.

Taḥlīl al-Akhṭā’ al-Lughawiyyah al-‘Arabiyyah ladā Ṭullāb al-Jīl Z fī al-Madāris al-Thānawiyyah bi-Musā‘adat Tiknūlūjiyā al-Dhakā’ al-Iṣṭinā‘ī
The teaching of the Arabic language has witnessed a significant and important transformation with the rapid advancement of technology and the development of innovative learning methods. In the current digital age, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Arabic language education is not just an additional option, but has become a strategically critical necessity in efforts to improve the effectiveness of Arabic language instruction. Despite the increasing importance of AI tools in analyzing and correcting patterns of linguistic errors, current research still lacks an in-depth study that specifically focuses on the quality of Arabic linguistic errors committed by "Gen Z students" at the secondary level, who possess unique digital learning and interaction characteristics. Moreover, there is a scarcity of studies that effectively evaluate how Artificial Intelligence technology can contribute directly to the analysis and correction of these specific errors within the context of Arabic secondary education. This study used an experimental method with a sample of 60 students from several high schools in Pati Regency. The students were divided into two groups: an experimental group that used smart technology and a control group that did not use smart technology. The data were analyzed using t-test. The results showed that the experimental group that used smart technology had a lower average Arabic language error compared to the control group, with a decrease in average error from 16.2 to 6.8. The results of this study indicate that smart technology can be an effective tool in reducing Arabic language errors among Generation Z.

The Myth of Palestine and Exile in Darwish's Poem "Tadihiqu Bina Al-Ardh": Barthes' Semiotic Studies
This article discusses the poem Tadhīqu Binā al-Arḍ by Mahmoud Darwish This poem describes Palestinian myths and life in dreams. Its meaning consists of three layers: direct meaning (denotative), figurative meaning (connotative), and mythological meaning. The problem raised is the fact that only a small amount of research has actually linked the symbols found in Darwish's poems to the ideology of a lost homeland and a constant struggle. Roland Barthes' theory of semiotics was used in this study to read the signs in poetry. While symbols such as the land, wheat, mother, stone, and olive tree look beautiful, they also serve as ideological symbols that shape the story of Palestinian identity. According to Barthes, this poem is understood as a text that arranges meaning through two layers of significance thanks to the use of a descriptive qualitative approach and content analysis. The results of the study show that Darwish's poem conveys the shared experience of the Palestinian people through two main myths: Palestine as a lost holy land and Exile as a place where steadfastness and resistance emerge. This shows that Darwish not only wrote about the suffering of others, but also created a cultural archive that preserved the collective memory and Palestinian identity. This poem concludes that literature is not just an expression of art; It is also a symbolic tool to display the history and identity of the nation.

Multikulturalisme Pengajaran Bahasa Arab di Perguruan Tinggi Islam: Konteks dan Pengajarannya Menggunakan Kitab Silsilah Ta‘Lim Al-Lughah Al-‘Arabiyyah
Multiculturalism is an educational concept that emphasises acceptance and appreciation of the cultural, linguistic, religious, and identity diversity of learners. Islamic university in Indonesia serve as spaces where diverse social and religious backgrounds intersect; therefore, Arabic language instruction within these institutions cannot be separated from such multicultural dynamics. Nevertheless, many practices in Arabic language teaching remain uniform in nature and have not fully recognised student diversity as a pedagogical asset. This article aims to analyse the integration of multicultural perspectives in the teaching of Arabic at Islamic higher education institutions, encompassing students’ socio-cultural contexts, pedagogical strategies, and the relevance of instructional materials used, particularly Silsilah Ta‘lim al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah. The study employs a library-based research method with content analysis of literature related to multicultural education, Arabic language pedagogy, and the strengthening of religious moderation. The findings indicate the importance of learning approaches that value the diversity of students’ learning backgrounds, the adaptation of teaching materials to better represent the Indonesian local context, and the role of lecturers as facilitators of diversity and inclusivity within the Arabic language classroom. The originality of this study lies in its effort to link the principles of multiculturalism with a specific analysis of the use of Silsilah Ta‘lim al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah, which has rarely been examined from the perspective of inclusive education in Islamic higher education institutions. This research contributes to the development of a more inclusive, humanistic, and contextually relevant model of Arabic language learning that aligns with the spirit of Islam rahmatan lil-‘alamin and the agenda of religious moderation in Islamic higher education.

Efektivitas Penggunaan Kamus Digital Almaany dalam Meningkatkan Kualitas Terjemahan Teks Bahasa Arab
Translating Arabic texts is a fundamental skill that must be mastered by students of Arabic, as it involves accurate vocabulary comprehension, deep contextual understanding, and appropriate transfer of meaning from the source language to the target language. Translation competence is essential to support students’ reading comprehension and overall language proficiency. Along with the rapid advancement of educational technology, digital dictionaries have increasingly been utilized as effective learning tools to assist translation activities, one of which is the Almaany Digital Dictionary. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Almaany Digital Dictionary in improving the quality of Arabic text translation among eleventh-grade students at SMA Swasta Riyadhussholihiin. The research employed a mixed-methods approach that integrated quantitative and qualitative data through an experimental research design. Two groups were involved: an experimental group that used the Almaany Digital Dictionary during translation activities and a control group that relied on conventional learning methods. The research instruments consisted of translation tests evaluated based on four criteria: accuracy, communicativeness, coherence, and contextual appropriateness. These quantitative data were supported by student interviews to gain deeper insights into learners’ experiences. The findings demonstrate a significant difference between the two groups, with the experimental group achieving higher average translation scores. The effectiveness analysis indicates that the Almaany Digital Dictionary is highly effective in enhancing students’ translation quality from linguistic, communicative, and contextual perspectives. These results confirm the important role of digital dictionaries as technology based learning media in developing Arabic translation skills at the secondary education level.

Barnāmaj Ta‘līm al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah li al-Aṭfāl min Khilāl al-Wasā’iṭ al-Multimīdiyā al-Tafā‘uliyyah
The use of Arabic learning media, especially Iqra, has so far been fragmented. Books, videos, and audio are often used independently without any unity, thus failing to support an interactive learning experience for students. On the other hand, the use of digital technology in education has become quite widespread and opens up opportunities for the development of integrated learning materials. Therefore, there is a need for multimedia learning materials for Arabic letters using the Iqra method that integrates various features. At-Tamrin is an interactive digital Iqra application based on PDF, equipped with comprehensive features such as text, audio, and video, which can maintain students' learning motivation. This study aims to enable students to master the skills of learning Arabic letters correctly through engaging and repetitive multimedia interactions. The development was conducted using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). This media integrates a contrastive analysis approach to help distinguish the sounds and shapes of letters correctly, as well as the Student-Centred Active Learning Method (SCALM) to enhance engagement in the learning process. The research results indicate that At-Tamrin is deemed suitable by media experts and has the potential to become an innovative solution for more effective and engaging Arabic letter learning, particularly for Iqra.

Analisis Cerpen "Robohnya Surau Kami" Karya Ali Akhbar Navis Dalam tinjauan dekonstruksi Jacques Derrida
This study analyzes the short story “Robohnya Surau Kami” (The Collapse of Our Mosque) by A. A. Navis through Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction approach. The research aims to dismantle the dominant meanings constructed in the text, especially those related to the binary opposition between ritual religiosity and social responsibility. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, the study applies a textual deconstruction process that includes identifying binary oppositions, reversing their hierarchy, and revealing contradictions and ironies embedded in the narrative. The findings show that Navis’s story reverses the hierarchy of values in which pious worship, often seen as the highest form of morality, becomes a symbol of spiritual egoism and social neglect. This reversal produces new meanings of religiosity as a moral awareness that must be continuously negotiated in social life. Thus, “Robohnya Surau Kami” not only criticizes formalistic piety but also opens a plural and dynamic space of interpretation that challenges absolute moral assumptions in modern society.

Ekostilistika Lagu L.A Menyala: Kajian Stilistika dan Ekokritik
This article discusses a modern rap/pop song on YouTube by Duck Creator that addresses the wildfire disaster in Los Angeles, California. This study seeks to uncover the meanings behind the words used in the song lyrics through a stylistic approach. The data were collected using listening, reading, and note-taking techniques, while the analysis was conducted using Qalyubi’s stylistic framework and Greg Garrard’s ecocritical perspective. The findings reveal that, stylistically, at the mustawā ṣawtī (phonological level), the song employs rhythmic rhyme characterised by repetition, alliteration, and assonance. It also contains a variety of figurative language, including metaphor, personification, and linguistic contrast, which are rich in visual imagery at the mustawā taṣwīrī (imagistic level), depicting the major fires that struck Los Angeles and linking them to issues of global justice, particularly the suffering of Gaza. From an ecocritical perspective, the lyrics portray natural disasters as moral agents (wilderness), using personification to humanise nature as an agent of cosmic justice. Apocalyptic tropes are highly dominant in the song, functioning as symbols of warning. Furthermore, a critique of dwelling emerges, highlighting global conflicts driven by the egos of political leaders that result in ecological destruction affecting animal agents, pastoral spaces, and even the earth itself. The song functions both as an ecological protest and as a prayer for the realisation of universal justice. It integrates environmental awareness, social criticism, and spiritual dimensions, thereby constituting a work that is politically and ethically powerful.

Exploring Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Improving Learning Outcomes at Al-Musyawarah Islamic High School Bandung
This study aims to explore the implementation of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) by Arabic language teachers in improving students' learning outcomes at SMA Islam Al-Musyawarah Bandung, employing a qualitative approach with a case study design. The primary focus lies on the teacher's ability to choose an appropriate approach for a particular topic, simplify complex grammatical concepts, and relate the material to the cultural context and students' daily lives. The results of the study indicate that teachers who apply contextual, collaborative, and project-based approaches, such as learner-centered learning and experiential learning, can create more meaningful and engaging learning experiences compared to conventional, structural approaches. In addition, the simplification of concepts is achieved through visual strategies, games, and scaffolding that facilitate students' understanding of abstract grammatical concepts. Both also demonstrate the ability to ground Arabic in students' real lives and integrate Arabic and local cultural values interculturally, making learning more relevant and oriented towards the development of communicative competence and cultural awareness. These findings emphasize the importance of mastery of PCK by Arabic language teachers in designing adaptive and contextual learning to meet the demands of 21st-century education.

Mastering Students Learning Characteristics: A Case Study on the Pedagogical Competence of Arabic Teachers in Secondary School
This study aims to examine the pedagogical competence of Arabic Teachers (AT) in mastering the characteristics of students at the secondary school level, focusing on physical, moral, spiritual, and social aspects. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a case study design conducted at MAN kota Cimahi. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of three AT. The results of the study indicate that teachers have diverse approaches to understanding the characteristics of students from four main aspects, namely physical, moral, spiritual, and social. In the physical aspect, teachers actively arrange seating positions based on student's individual needs to create an inclusive learning environment. In the moral aspect, teachers observe students' behavior in daily interactions as an indicator of morality. The spiritual element is demonstrated through the practice of worship, prayer, and the incorporation of religious values during the learning process. In the social aspect, teachers in MAN kota Cimahi pay attention to a student's family background, social skills, and interaction patterns. These findings suggest that the mastery of students' learning characteristics as a whole is crucial for the effectiveness of the Arabic language learning process and is key to building a holistic education that is oriented towards the needs of students. This study recommends ongoing training for teachers in managing the diversity of student characteristics to enhance the overall quality of Arabic language learning.

Psikolinguistik dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab: Analisis Kognitif dan Pengaruh Sosial-Budaya
This research explores the significant role of psycholinguistics in the context of Arabic language learning, focusing on cognitive analysis and socio-cultural influences. Cognitive analysis reveals that an individual's ability to comprehend and use Arabic is influenced by cognitive factors such as memory, information processing, and learning strategies. Meanwhile, socio-cultural influences affect motivation, learning strategies, and communicative competence in Arabic. These findings underscore the importance of a holistic approach to Arabic language learning, which considers cognitive and socio-cultural aspects. The theoretical implications include advancements in psycholinguistic theories and cross-cultural communication, while the practical implications encompass the development of more effective learning methods and curricula oriented towards holistic Arabic language competency development. Recommendations for further research include longitudinal and comparative studies to deepen understanding of the interaction between cognitive and socio-cultural factors in Arabic language learning.

Pendekatan CTL sebagai Strategi Meningkatkan Motivasi Belajar Siswa dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab
Motivation plays a crucial role in determining the success of students in language learning, particularly in subjects perceived as challenging, such as Arabic. This study aims to examine the influence of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach on students' motivation in learning Arabic. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis at SMAN 1 Cikande. Primary data were obtained directly from teaching activities and stakeholder interviews, while secondary data were drawn from relevant literature, including books, journals, and previous research. The findings suggest that the integration of CTL strategies into Arabic language instruction positively impacts students’ engagement and enthusiasm for learning. Students demonstrated increased participation, reduced passivity, and a noticeable rise in curiosity toward Arabic lessons. These outcomes indicate that CTL is a promising approach to enhance students’ motivation and overall learning experiences in language education at the senior high school level.

Keindahan Retorika dalam Al-Qur’an: Analisis Balaghah dalam Ayat-ayat Persuasif
This article explores the rhetorical beauty of the Qur’ān through a balāghah analysis of selected persuasive verses, focusing particularly on the science of badīʿ and its role in enhancing the appeal and effectiveness of Qur’ānic discourse. Balāghah, the art of eloquence in Arabic, comprises three branches, one of which is badīʿ, dedicated to embellishing both the meaning (muhassināt maʿnawiyyah) and the expression (muhassināt lafẓiyyah) of language. This study concentrates on two key muhassināt maʿnawiyyah techniques: thibāq (antithesis) and muqābalah (juxtaposition), both of which contribute significantly to the aesthetic and persuasive qualities of the Qur’ān. Unlike earlier studies that primarily focused on thibāq alone, this research adopts a broader analytical lens by incorporating muqābalah, highlighting how the pairing of opposite meanings serves to reinforce spiritual and moral messages. Verses are examined to demonstrate how contrasts—such as truth versus falsehood or light versus darkness—intensify the intended meanings and deepen the rhetorical impact. The findings reveal that these techniques not only enhance the beauty of the text but also contribute to a more profound understanding of its divine message. The study thus expands the existing discourse in Qur’ānic rhetoric by offering a more comprehensive perspective on the interplay between linguistic artistry and spiritual content. In doing so, it enriches the appreciation of the Qur’ān’s eloquence and provides deeper insights into its persuasive power and thematic depth.

Menelusuri Dalil Nahwu Sebagai Landasan Ilmiah Tata Bahasa Arab
The purpose of this study is to examine the implications of dalīl an-naḥwī (nahwu arguments) in the formulation of Arabic grammatical rules. Nahwu arguments refer to the linguistic evidence employed by nuhāt (grammar scholars) in constructing the principles of Arabic syntax. This research is a qualitative literature study employing a descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected from various classical and contemporary sources related to uṣūl an-naḥw, followed by an in-depth examination of the nature and function of these arguments. The primary sources of reference include the Qur’an, the Prophetic ḥadīth, and classical Arabic poetry—each possessing high linguistic authority in determining grammatical correctness. Nahwu arguments are categorised into naqlī (textual) arguments, drawn from the Qur’an, ḥadīth, and poetry, and ʿaqlī (rational) arguments, based on logical and contextual reasoning. The findings indicate that classical scholars responded differently to certain nahwu arguments, with some considering them irregular (shādh), while others viewed them as acceptable dialectal variations (iʿrāb lughawī). In contrast, contemporary linguists advocate for a modern linguistic framework, interpreting such phenomena through the lens of dialectal variation and recommending a structuralist approach to better understand these irregularities. This study concludes that nahwu arguments not only serve to justify established rules but also function as a methodological foundation for developing new syntactic formulations. As such, they play a critical role in bridging the gap between the classical grammatical tradition and the evolving demands of modern Arabic linguistics.

Analisis Kesalahan Linguistik dalam Buku Ajar 'Ayo Belajar Bahasa Arab' Kelas V: Tinjauan Morfologis, Sintaksis dan Semantik
Teaching materials or textbooks play a vital role in the learning process, particularly in language education, as they directly influence the quality and effectiveness of instruction. Linguistic errors in Arabic textbooks often arise from a limited understanding of correct grammatical structures, including both word formation (morphology) and sentence construction (syntax). In Arabic language learning, textbooks serve as a central resource for teaching grammar (Nahwu and Sharaf), vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. This article aims to examine linguistic errors found in the Ayo Belajar Bahasa Arab textbook for Grade V, published by Erlangga. The study adopts a qualitative approach using library research methods to gather relevant data and theoretical references. The primary source analyzed is the aforementioned textbook. The findings reveal several linguistic issues, including three morphological errors, three syntactic errors, and one semantic error. Morphological errors involve inaccuracies in word endings that affect meaning, syntactic errors relate to improper sentence structure in terms of nahwu, and the semantic error pertains to the misuse or misunderstanding of word meaning within the context of Arabic vocabulary.

Gaya Bahasa Bercerita dalam Kisah Nabi Ibrahim AS pada Surat Ash Shafat Ayat 101 – 110 dan Al Baqarah 258 – 260
This study explores the narrative style employed in the story of Prophet Ibrahim AS recounted in Surah As-Saffat (verses 101–110) and Surah Al-Baqarah (verses 258–260). The research aims to identify and understand the stylistic devices used within these two surahs, and how such devices enhance the narrative impact and convey deeper spiritual messages. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the study integrates stylistic theory and structural analysis to examine the textual data. The research process consists of three key steps: data collection, data analysis, and presentation of findings. Verses 101–110 of Surah As-Saffat narrate the profound test faced by Prophet Ibrahim when he was commanded to sacrifice his son, Ismail. These verses utilize dramatic dialogue, symbolic imagery of sacrifice, and contrasts between servitude and divine command—features that not only intensify the narrative but also emphasize absolute submission and sincerity in obedience to Allah. Meanwhile, Surah Al-Baqarah verses 258–260 comprise three distinct episodes that highlight the majesty of God: a debate between Prophet Ibrahim and a defiant king, the resurrection of a man after a hundred years of death, and Ibrahim’s plea to witness how the dead are brought back to life. These stories are presented with vivid narration, detailed visualization, rhetorical questioning, and natural symbolism. Through the use of stylistic elements, these passages underscore God’s omnipotence while simultaneously strengthening the reader’s faith and conviction.
