This research delves into the intricate dynamics of translating proverbs, aiming to ensure that the essence of the source language is accurately conveyed in the target language. Translating proverbs presents unique challenges due to the inherent cultural and contextual nuances embedded within them. To address this, employing culturally equivalent strategies becomes crucial in faithfully representing the intended meaning. The process of translating through culture is not merely a mechanical task; it serves as a bridge fostering a profound understanding between different cultures. This bridge facilitates the effective communication of proverbial messages in the target language, exemplified by the proverb "Qabla ar-rima tumlau al-kanain." A literal translation fails to capture its essence, but a cultural approach reveals its Indonesian equivalent: "sedia paying sebelum hujan." This stark contrast underscores the necessity of cultural adaptation to convey the intended message accurately. This qualitative study relies on data sourced from various references, such as "Al-Balaghah Al-Wadhihah" and "Al-Amtsal Al-Arabiyyah Wa Al-Amtsal Al-Amiyah: Muqaranah Dalaliyah" by Al-hamzawi. Proverbs are extracted, and the research applies content analysis and a cultural adaptation approach. The fusion of Arabic proverbs with Indonesian counterparts from works like Dipo Udi's "Kumpulan Peribahasa Indonesia" and the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture's "500 Pepatah" allows for a comprehensive analysis. The findings affirm that cultural adaptation effectively conveys proverbial messages. This adaptation involves substituting proverbs with culturally relevant expressions, ensuring a seamless integration into the cultural context of the target language. Ultimately, this research sheds light on the significance of cultural sensitivity in translating proverbs for a more nuanced and accurate representation of their intended meanings.

The purpose of this study is to describe that the Government of Kuwait, through its official social media, uses a lot of euphemistic and dysphemic language styles in conveying information in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a qualitative approach with content analysis to understand the symbolic messages contained in documents, paintings, dances, songs, literary works, and others as unstructured data. The data collection technique used is the observation and note-taking technique. Listening in the context of this study means reading, which is then recorded to document the data obtained. The data analysis technique used is the equivalent referential technique to find out grammatical units such as euphemisms and dysphemisms, while to analyze the background of the use of euphemisms and dysphemisms, pragmatic equivalent analysis is used. Based on the results of an analysis of data obtained from the official social media of the Ministry of Health of Kuwait, many euphemistic and dysphemistic forms were found in conveying information regarding the latest matters and developments regarding Covid-19 in the country of Kuwait. It is used for specific purposes. The purpose of using euphemistic forms is to avoid mentioning negative reality, which aims to minimize the harmful effects of utterances that seem scary, worrying, make noise, offend, hurt, disrespect, or violate social norms. Euphemistic forms also aim to evoke an optimistic attitude toward residents in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. The use of the dysphemistic form used by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Health in presenting information about matters related to Covid-19 in that country is aimed at scaring, showing annoyance, and giving warnings so that they are even more vigilant in dealing with the Covid 19 pandemic.

This study is motivated by the lack of motivation and interest of students in learning Arabic, which is caused by the use of monotonous learning media and the lack of utilization of digital media. The purpose of this study is to measure students' perceptions by using Baamboozle game media on students' learning motivation in learning Arabic. The method used was a quantitative survey involving 55 respondents from several Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Serang Regency. The instrument used was a Likert questionnaire to measure students' learning motivation, and data were collected through observation and questionnaires after the implementation of the game in learning. The results showed that the use of Baamboozle game significantly increased students' learning motivation by 51% with a high positive response to the more interactive and fun learning. In addition, students feel more enthusiastic and involved in the learning process. In conclusion, the application of game-based learning media such as Baamboozle can be an effective strategy to increase students' motivation and engagement in learning Arabic, as well as creating a more dynamic learning atmosphere.

This study was conducted because of the low ability of students in writing skills (kitabah) in class VII of SMP Boarding School Daarul Barkah.Thus this study aims to obtain information about the effect of using the picture word inductive model (PWIM) strategy applied to Arabic language subjects, especially in writing learning, namely kitabah al-muwajjahah. The research methodology used is quantitative with quasi experiment with nonequivalent control group design. This study used two classes as research samples, namely class VII a as a control class with 15 students and class VII b as an experimental class, which numbered 16 students, with a total of 31 students. The sample used in this study used random sampling technique which was carried out randomly in the experimental class. The experimental results obtained and have been processed in the paired sample t-test show (sig < a) which is (.000 < 0.05) stating H⁰ is rejected, and Hª is accepted, indicating that student learning outcomes regarding kitabah skills using the PWIM strategy are higher than student learning outcomes using conventional learning. The conclusion of this study is that the PWIM strategy applied to Arabic language learning, especially for learning kitabah al-muwajjah, has a significant effect seen from the increase in post-test scores after the use of the PWIM strategy.

This study critically examines the philological and historical-comparative linguistic approaches developed by Western orientalists in analyzing the Qur'anic lexicon and their implications for the doctrine of the authenticity and purity of the language of revelation in Islam. It also explores Muslim scholars' responses to claims of foreign language influence in the lexical construction of the sacred text. Starting from the assumption that the Qur'an contains elements of Aramaic, Hebrew, Syriac, and Ethiopic languages, orientalists such as Theodor Nöodeke, Abraham Geiger, Arthur Jeffery, and Christoph Luxenberg attempted to interpret the Qur'anic text as an evolutive product of pre-Islamic Arabic culture and history. This approach, despite its contribution to the field of language history, has been criticized by Muslim scholars for ignoring the theological dimension and sacredness of the Qur'an as divine revelation. Using a qualitative method and a desk study approach, this research analyzes key works from both orientalists and Muslim scholars. The results show that Western philological approaches to the Qur'an are not scientifically neutral but contain historical-critical assumptions that often contradict the normative-transcendental approach in the Islamic tradition. In response, contemporary Muslim scholars have developed an integrative approach that balances linguistic studies with contextual interpretation and emphasizes the importance of taking into account the dynamics of classical Arabic, Qur'anic rhetorical structures, and the context of revelation. As such, this study affirms the importance of a multidisciplinary and dialogical approach in understanding the complexity of Qur'anic vocabulary in order to avoid methodological reductionism and maintain the epistemic integrity of the revealed text.

This study aims to examine the impact of the online learning platform Mondly Language on the Arabic writing skills of seventh-grade students. Writing proficiency is a crucial yet often neglected component of language learning. Adopting a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the research involved two sample groups: an experimental group using Mondly Language and a control group employing traditional teaching methods. After conducting normality tests, data were collected through pre- and post-tests, leading to the application of a non-parametric statistical analysis using the Mann–Whitney U test. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05), indicating that the use of Mondly Language positively influences students’ Arabic writing development. Key contributing factors to the effectiveness of the platform include its engaging visual interface, gamification-based interactivity, and varied exercises that promote active student participation in composing Arabic sentences. The findings support the integration of creative, technology-based instructional strategies to enhance Arabic writing skills among junior high school students.
