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 implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum requires Arabic teaching materials that are flexible, differentiated, multimodal, and supportive of formative assessment. However, many Arabic classrooms still use printed textbooks or static digital documents, which do not optimally support listening, speaking, independent learning, and rapid feedback. This study aims to analyze the urgency of developing an electronic Arabic textbook based on the Smart Interactive Arabic Textbook model as a response to the demands of the Merdeka Curriculum. This research uses library research with content analysis of Merdeka Curriculum policy documents, Arabic Learning Outcomes, and recent literature on digital Arabic learning, differentiated instruction, multimedia learning, gamification, and digital assessment. The findings show that electronic Arabic textbooks are needed for five main purposes: learning personalization, integration of visual-audiovisual texts, strengthening istima’ and kalam skills, reducing cognitive load, and enabling real-time diagnostic assessment. This article contributes a conceptual model of the Smart Interactive Arabic Textbook as a direction for developing adaptive, interactive, data-informed, and curriculum-aligned Arabic teaching materials.
