<![CDATA[This study aims to compare the Arabic writing skill (maharah kitabah) using the imla’ method between students from MTs and SMP backgrounds in grade XI A1 of MAN 2 Bandar Lampung. This quantitative comparative research involved 28 students selected through purposive sampling, consisting of 14 MTs alumni and 14 SMP alumni. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and a written imla’ test. The results of the Shapiro–Wilk test show that the data from both groups are normally distributed, and the Independent Sample t-Test revealed that the average score of SMP alumni was higher than that of MTs alumni; however, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.207 > 0.05). These findings indicate that prior educational background does not significantly influence students’ Arabic writing ability at the MA level. The learning process at MAN 2 Bandar Lampung appears to equalize students' abilities regardless of their previous schooling, suggesting that teaching strategies should focus on strengthening writing skills across groups.]]>
