<![CDATA[Arabic language learning plays an important role in Islamic education because Arabic is the language of the Qur’an and Hadith. Therefore, appropriate learning strategies are needed to help students understand and use Arabic effectively. Ma’had Ibnu Zubair Padang is an educational institution that develops Arabic language learning integrated with a Qur’an memorization program. This study aims to identify and describe the strategies used in Arabic language learning and to examine the supporting and inhibiting factors in their implementation at Ma’had Ibnu Zubair Padang. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The research was conducted at Ma’had Ibnu Zubair Padang from March 31 to April 30, 2026. The research subjects consisted of teachers, students, and the management of the ma’had. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that Arabic language learning was implemented through the creation of an Arabic-speaking environment (bi’ah lughawiyyah), the use of various learning methods, learning based on students’ ability levels, the implementation of the I'dad Lughawi curriculum from LIPIA Jakarta, and the integration of Arabic language learning with the Qur’an memorization program. The supporting factors included students’ learning motivation, teachers’ competence, and support from the foundation management. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors included differences in students’ educational backgrounds and abilities, the limited number of students, and limited learning facilities and infrastructure.]]>
