This quantitative research aims to determine the initial ability, student learning outcomes in Arabic language subjects and the relationship of initial ability to Arabic learning outcomes of 11th grade students at MAN Binjai. Data obtained from the sample (n=30) were collected using observation and documentation studies, then analyzed using inferential statistical analysis techniques, namely simple linear regression tests. The results of inferential analysis of X and Y variable data show that the correlation value between X and Y variables is 0.435, which means it is included in the moderate category. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination is 0.160 or 16%. Which means that X can explain Y by 16% and the rest is influenced by other variables. While the significance value is 0.016 < alpha = 0.05. This shows that there is a significant influence between variable X and variable Y. Thus, based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that students' initial ability has a positive and significant effect on students' Arabic learning outcomes in grade 11 MAN Binjai.
