Abstract

The tahfiz program in universities is one of the initiatives that help students sustain their Quranic memorization. Alternatively, the program's establishment aims to preserve the consistency of Quranic memorization amongst students currently pursuing professional studies at the tertiary level. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the contributing factors to time constraints that prevent effective outcomes of this particular program. This study is qualitative and depends much on in-depth interviews and document analysis techniques. The results of the study show that there are a relative number of challenges encountered by students that require consideration by all relevant parties, including academic workload, time restrictions, and the extracurricular activities organized by the faculties and colleges. This suggests that remarkable attention is necessary from appropriate parties to ensure the program's effectiveness and produce professional huffaz in the future. Insufficient focus on time management by the proper parties may adversely affect students' ability to implement the technique proposed by Muslim scholars for comprehending the verses of the Qur'an, which involves attaining proficiency in the Arabic language and its associated fields of knowledge.

Abstract

The Quran’s role as a foundational sacred text in preserving and shaping the Arabic language makes it an essential resource for linguists, learners, and educators to enhance their understanding of Quranic Arabic. A key sūrah that captures the fundamental vocabulary and concepts of the Qur’ān is Sūrah Al-Baqarah. Through a literature review, researchers found no previous study on the collection of these words and the number of derivatives in their various contexts. Therefore, this study aims to highlight the fundamental vocabulary of the Qurʼān in this Sūrah, as it includes these words that are repeated at least 50 times throughout the Qurʼān. Through the qualitative approach and analyzing documents in primary dictionaries of al-Quran words, researchers gathered data by analyzing the frequency of the words semantically and comparatively. They counted their frequency with their different derivations using "al-Muʻjam al-Mufahras li-Alfāẓ al-Qurʼān al-Karīm". "Muʻjam al-Adawāt wa-al-Ḍamāʼir" was also used as an additional resource. The meanings of the words were later clarified using "Muʻjam alfāẓ al-Qurʼān al-Karīm". This study concluded that the fundamental words in Sūrah Al-Baqarah include verbs, nouns, and prepositions, with the number of occurrences of their most commonly used derivations amounting to 227 terms. The fundamental vocabulary in this collection represents a rich linguistic treasure and a substantial scientific resource. The findings contribute not only to understanding word roots, derivational morphology, and syntactic patterns. Thus, this research underscores al-Quran’s role as a foundational sacred text in preserving and shaping the Arabic language, making it an essential resource for linguists, learners, and educators to enhance their understanding of Quranic Arabic.

Abstract

Ḥurūf al-Maʿānī are essential linguistic elements that connect explicit and implicit meanings within a sentence. However, Hurūf al-Jarr (Arabic prepositions) present significant challenges for students in terms of comprehension and mastery. Since there are twenty types of Hurūf al-Jarr, each carrying diverse meanings depending on the sentence context, which function as crucial supportive factors in addressing students’ weaknesses and improving their proficiency, this study aimed to examine the level of mastery among Arabic language students in understanding the Maʿānī Hurūf al-Jarr. Additionally, this study also investigated students’ perception levels as a potential social factor to determine their correlation with the mastery of the aforementioned matter. A cross-sectional survey method was employed with a population of 100 students from the Bachelor of Arabic Language Studies programme at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin, enrolled in the the 9th Semester of the 2024/2025 academic session. Research instruments included a questionnaire to assess the students’ perception level and a comprehension test to measure their mastery. The reliability index of the comprehension test was 0.82, while the questionnaire had a reliability value of 0.83, as measured by Cronbach's Alpha. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential methods with SPSS software. Findings revealed that students had a weak level of mastery in maʿānī ḥurūf al-jarr (mean = 50.91%) and a moderate level of perception (mean = 3.38). A positive correlation was found between the level of perception and mastery (rr = 0.257, p 0.05). These results indicate a deficiency in students’ grasp of Arabic grammar and highlight the potential value of perception as an effective factor in this area.
