Abstract

Ṣalāwat is a religious form of expression in the Islamic world that serves as a form of prayer and praising the prophet Muhammad and a tool of preaching and cultural identification. One of the most influential texts of the Ṣalāwat Simṭ al-Durar of Habib Ali bin Muhammad Al-Habsyi, but the symbolic expressions contained are usually not fully interpreted. The paper uses qualitative textual analysis to apply the Riffatere semiotic theory developed by Michael Riffaterre which is based on the idea of indirect expression by displacement, distortion and meaning creation. The Simṭ al-Durar manuscript was used as primary sources with the support of the sharḥ literature, scholarly research, and interviews with religious leaders. The symbols that are identified in the analysis include light (nūr), which means prophetic guidance, pearls and jewels, which is a symbol of spiritual purity, fragrance, which is a blessing of God, and journey, which is the spiritual development of the believer. These symbols are multilayered theological and devotional meanings not to be interpreted literally. The results indicate that Simṭ al-Durar is an enriched semiotic text that reinforces religious tradition and gives communal spiritual awareness.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the interactive web-based learning media, WEB KITARA, in improving Arabic vocabulary writing skills among beginner-level elementary students. A mixed-methods design with a quasi-experimental approach was used. The study involved two classes: Al-Aziz as the intervention group and Al-Mu’min as the control group. Data were collected through an Arabic vocabulary writing test, interviews with teachers and students, and qualitative thematic analysis. Results showed a statistically significant difference between the groups, with students using WEB KITARA achieving higher average scores and more consistent learning outcomes. Qualitative findings indicated increased motivation, active participation, and learning satisfaction due to the platform’s interactive writing features. The study concludes that systematic integration of WEB KITARA effectively enhances Arabic vocabulary and writing skills and creates a more engaging learning environment for beginner learners. This media is recommended as an innovative and practical tool for teaching Arabic in Islamic elementary schools.
