EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SINGING METHOD IN ARABIC VOCABULARY MEMORIZATION FOR FIRST GRADERS
Songs can actually make the listener feel happy and calm when listening to it. Not only for refreshing, it turns out that singing can be used in learning Arabic so that students do not get bored quickly when learning. This research is a field research conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ats-tsauroh Serang City. While the type of research is experimental research by dividing 2 class groups, namely the experimental class and the control class In its implementation, the experimental class and the control class are given a pre-test to find out the initial condition of whether there is a difference between the experimental class and the control class, then look for the effect of treatment through the post-test on both groups. This research uses a quantitative approach. Data obtained through tests, observations, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class. This difference can be seen from the change in the average pre-test to post-test scores in each class (experimental class and control class). The average pre-test score was 45 and the post-test score was 85 in the experimental class, while in the control class the average pre-test score was 40 and the post-test score was 65. Thus it can be concluded that teaching Arabic vocabulary by using the singing method is proven effective to improve students' memorization of Arabic mufradat.

ANALYSIS OF THE ARABIC LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT AT THE AL-NOOR INSTITUTE IN PADANGSIDEMPUAN
The researcher was intrigued by the development of the Arabic language environment at An-Nur Institute, Padangsidimpuan, particularly between 2013 and 2016, when a dynamic Arabic-speaking atmosphere emerged. This environment resulted fromemotional, physical, and intellectual efforts by teachers and supervisors who implemented systems, regulations, and language programs. However, despite these efforts, students still do not consistently use Arabic daily, revealing a gap between the intended environment and actual practice. This study aims to analyze the Arabic language environment at An-Nur Institute and identify its supporting and hindering factors. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a case study design, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive qualitative analysis model (data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing). The findings reveal that although supporting factors such as location, digital applications, and qualified teachers exist, the absence of a unified strategy, standards of proficiency, and consistent monitoring has hindered the effectiveness of the Arabic language environment.
ILLOCUTIONARY SPEECH ACTS IN FRIDAY SERMONS AT MASJID AL-HARAM
Friday sermons are an important act of worship in Islam that not only convey religious teachings but also contain illocutionary speech acts. This study aims to examine the types of illocutionary speech acts found in the Friday sermons of Sheikh Bandar Balilah and Sheikh Su’ud Asy-Syuraim at the Grand Mosque (Masjid al-Haram). The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data sourced from transcripts of the sermons and their translations, obtained from the YouTube channels Fawaid Haramain and Khutbah Al-Haramain. Data collection techniques include observation, listening, and note-taking. The results show that in Sheikh Bandar Balilah's Friday sermon, a total of 63 illocutionary speech acts were identified. Among these, directive speech acts dominated with 43 occurrences (68%), followed by assertive acts with 10 occurrences (16%), and both expressive and commissive acts with 5 occurrences each (8%). In the Friday sermon delivered by Sheikh Su’ud Asy-Syuraim, 79 illocutionary speech acts were found. These consisted of 32 directive acts (40%), 26 assertive acts (33%), 17 expressive acts (22%), 3 commissive acts (4%), and 1 declarative act (1%).
ENHANCING ARABIC LANGUAGE COMPETENCE THROUGH THE HELLOTALK APPLICATION
The background of this research departs from the need for learning media that can be an intermediary for direct communication between students and native Arabic speakers. In the modern era of digital education, mobile applications have become essential tools for language acquisition. One such application, HelloTalk, offers interactive features that allow learners to engage in real-time conversations with native speakers. This study aims to examine how the application contributes to the development of Arabic speaking skills—particularly in terms of vocabulary (mufradat), grammar (qawaid), and oral expression (maharah al-kalam). Furthermore, it seeks to explore the benefits and limitations of HelloTalk as perceived by its users, providing insights into both the opportunities and challenges faced in the process of learning Arabic through digital platformsThe research method used is descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that Hello Talk contributes positively to vocabulary improvement, vocabulary accuracy, and speaking fluency. Features such as voice note, room chat, hello Arabic, auto-correction, and other supporting features, and interaction with native speakers encourage more contextual and meaningful learning. However, this study also found obstacles such as limited internet access, lack of response from native speakers, not focusing on learning, and privacy concerns.
THE ETHICS OF CARING FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE PATIENTS IN ḤANĀ MĪNAH’S NOVEL AL-MAṢĀBĪḤ AL-ZURQ
The novel al-Maṣābīḥal-Zurq presents a case study on tuberculosis as an infectious disease experienced by patients, which requires an ethic of care. This research paper aims to examine how the ethic of care is presented and represented in fictional instincts, narratives, and Arabic rhetoric. This research paper examines the presentation and representation of the ethic of care in the novel al-Maṣābīḥal-Zurq by Ḥanā Mīnah (1954), specifically in relation to tuberculosis as an infectious disease experienced by patients. Textual data such as dialogue and monologue in the novel al-Maṣābīḥal-Zurq are determined through reduction, interpretation, and display techniques by taking into account interdisciplinary styles that include Freud's Psychoanalysis, Gill Branston and Roy Stafford's Narratives, and Rumadani Sagala's Balāghah. The research results indicate that the ethic of care is influenced by poor emotional control, the complex relationship between events and the personalities of fictional characters, and the communication styles employed by novelists. These factors contribute to an increased sustainability orientation in human social interaction. This study contributes to the understanding of how ethics of care are portrayed in Arabic literature dealing with infectious diseases, offering a basis for further comparative literary analysis.
MODERN ARABIC POETRY CRITICSM FORM AHMAD AMIN’S PERSPECTIVE
The development of modern Arabic literature has brought about significant changes in the field of Arabic poetry, mainly due to the influence of Western literary traditions that encouraged poets to move away from classical Arabic conventions. Many modern Arab poets began to abandon the rules of 'arūḍ and traditional poetic structures, resulting in a shift away from the classical characteristics of Arabic poetry. This situation sparked a debate among Arab intellectuals regarding the essence and identity of Arabic poetry in the modern era. Against this background, Ahmad Amīn, through his book An-Naqd al-Adabī, offered a critical reflection on poetry and emphasized the importance of preserving the heritage of Arabic literary tradition. This research aims to describe the concept of poetry criticism in Ahmad Amīn's view in An-Naqd al-Adabī. This research uses a type of library research with a descriptive qualitative approach. The results showed that as a historian, Ahmad Amin emphasized the historical-cultural approach in literature, where literature is seen not as something that stands alone, but rather the result of the historical, social, and cultural context of a society. Nonetheless, he retains the values of classical literature, where he believes literature should retain its moral function; by building morals and providing role models.

A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS BASED ON THE SCIENCE OF MA‘ĀNĪ IN THE POETRY OF TA‘LĪM AL-MUTA‘ALLIM BY AL-ZARNŪJĪ
Ta’līm al-Muta‘allim is a significant classical text widely studied by students of Islamic knowledge. It includes numerous poems used to convey educational messages, advice, and learning methodologies. However, understanding these poems often becomes challenging due to the complexity of rhetorical terms such as khabar, insya’, and qashar. This study aims to examine the rhetorical purposes of the poems in Ta’līm al-Muta‘allim, with a focus on how they function within the framework of ‘ilm al-ma‘ānī (the science of meanings) in Arabic rhetoric. Adopting a qualitative approach using library research and documentation methods, the research applies descriptive and analytical techniques to identify and classify the rhetorical features found in the text. The research identifies 57 poetic verses across several chapters, categorized as follows: khabar ibtida’i (57), khabar talabi (8), insya’i talabi (114), insya’i ghair talabi (3), qashar (15), fasl (2), wasl (9), ijaz (9), itnab (4), and musawah (1). The most dominant aspect is insya’i talabi. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of ‘ilm al-ma‘ānī in Arabic literature and serves as a foundational reference for further studies in Arabic rhetoric
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF JINAS IN JAUHARUL MAKNUN AND BALAGHAH WADIHAH ON MUALLAQAT
This article aims to examine the concept of jinās as presented in the classical Arabic rhetoric books Jauharul Maknūn and Balāghah Wāḍihah, as applied to the poetry of Mu‘allaqāt by Umru al-Qais. The author is particularly interested in the more concise classification of jinās found in Balāghah Wāḍihah, in contrast to the extensive categorization in Jauharul Maknūn by Imam al-Akhḍarī. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive method using a comparative literature approach. The findings reveal that the theory of jinās according to Jauharul Maknūn offers a more detailed and systematic classification of jinās types. Consequently, more examples of jinās from Jauharul Maknūn are identified in the Mu‘allaqātof Umru al-Qais compared to those classified using the perspective of Balāghah Wāḍihah. The analysis shows that there are 21 types of jinās based on Jauharul Maknūn and 17 types based on Balāghah Wāḍihah, with 19 identical lines (bayt) of poetry analyzed. This suggests that Jauharul Maknūn provides a broader and more nuanced framework for interpreting rhetorical figures in Arabic classical poetry. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of Arabic rhetorical theory and highlights the importance of classical sources in analyzing literary texts.
