Abstract

Arabic speaking proficiency (maharah al-kalam) continues to face pedagogical challenges, particularly in pronunciation, vocabulary, and contextual comprehension. This study aims to analyze the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in visual illustrations as instructional media to enhance Arabic speaking skills. Employing a systematic literature review method, the study examines 20 selected articles published between 2020 and 2025. The findings reveal that AI-generated visual media significantly improve learners’ vocabulary acquisition, contextual understanding, and engagement in speaking activities. The study implies that AI can be effectively utilized as a pedagogical tool to promote more interactive and context-based Arabic instruction. Its primary contribution lies in proposing a visually oriented AI approach, distinguishing it from previous research that largely focused on text-based applications or chatbot systems.

Abstract

This study addresses a significant lacuna in Nusantara Islamic manuscript scholarship, which has predominantly emphasized cataloguing, textual transmission, and codicological description, while leaving the functional, symbolic, and theological dimensions of wafaq practices underexamined. Focusing on a circular wafaq (wafaq dā’irah) manuscript from Lampung containing Q. 48:29 and Q. 2:246, this research investigates how Qur’anic text, geometric symbolism, and local religiosity intersect within the tradition of ʿIlm al-Hikmah. Employing a qualitative-descriptive design that integrates philological, codicological, and hermeneutical approaches, the study analyzes the manuscript’s textual integrity, visual structure, and socio-historical context in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. The findings demonstrate that the Qur’anic verses were transmitted faithfully according to the ʿUthmānic rasm, yet functionally transformed through circular geometric inscription, shifting from recitative devotion (tilāwah) to visual-symbolic mediation (hirz/azīmah). Genealogically, the manuscript reflects adaptation of classical Middle Eastern esoteric works—particularly Shams al-Maʿārif al-Kubrā and Khazīnat al-Asrār—into a localized Lampung context, evidenced by Pegon annotations and pragmatic spiritual aims such as protection and authority. Beyond documenting syncretization, this study argues that wafaq manuscripts constitute a contested epistemological arena in which orthodoxy, esotericism, and local authority are negotiated. Consequently, Islamization in Lampung is better understood not as linear doctrinal purification but as a process of symbolic internalization and material articulation of sacred text. By foregrounding the theological contestation and socio-symbolic function of wafaq, this research reframes Indonesian Islamic esotericism as an integral, though debated, component of Islamic intellectual history rather than a peripheral magical residue.
