Abstract

Semantic studies of Qur’anic vocabulary are often confined to partial lexical interpretations that separate the physical and metaphysical dimensions of meaning. This study highlights the semantic complexity of the lexeme safara (سفر), which possesses various semantic derivations—ranging from travel (safar), illumination (asfara), to angels (safarah)—that are frequently misunderstood as unrelated homonyms. The aim of this research is to reconstruct the semantic structure of the word safara in order to identify the core meaning that binds these variants within the Qur’anic worldview. Using a descriptive qualitative method with the Semantic Field Theory approach and componential meaning analysis, this study examines eleven Qur’anic verses containing derivations of the root safara. The findings reveal a novel insight: the derivations of safara do not merely denote “travel,” but rather revolve around the philosophical concept of al-inkisyāf (disclosure or unveiling). Safar signifies the unveiling of one’s true character and the discovery of new places; asfara denotes the unveiling of light from the darkness of dawn; and safarah refers to the unveiling of written revelation conveyed by angels. The theoretical implication of this study demonstrates that the Qur’anic derivational system integrates natural phenomena, human activities, and metaphysical entities within a coherent semantic network, while also challenging conventional lexical interpretations that limit safara solely to the notion of physical mobility.

Abstract

The transformation of Arabic language learning in the digital age requires the implementation of learning models that enhance students' active participation and collaboration. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) cooperative learning strategy supported by YouTube in improving Arabic grammar learning outcomes among tenth-grade students at MAN 1 Kerinci. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, observation sheets, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS. The results indicated that students in the experimental group showed a substantial improvement, with the mean score increasing from 63,00 on the pretest to 82,55 on the posttest, indicating that the TSTS strategy supported by YouTube was more effective than conventional instruction. In addition to improving learning outcomes, the strategy promoted active participation, communication, and collaboration among students while increasing learning motivation through contextual audiovisual media. These findings suggest that integrating cooperative learning with digital media is an effective and innovative approach to enhancing Arabic grammar instruction in madrasahs and contributes to the development of collaborative digital learning models aligned with the demands of 21st-century education.
