The low level of Turath literacy caused by the complexity of classical grammar necessitates effective methodological innovations for novice learners. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the Al-Miftah method and the Nahwu Putih Al-Jurumiyah scheme in enhancing the ability to read kitab kuning (classical Islamic texts). Utilizing a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design, the research was conducted at Pondok Pesantren Raudlatul Ulum 1 through purposive sampling. Data analysis using the Independent Sample T-Test and Repeated Measures ANOVA revealed that Al-Miftah is significantly superior in terms of comprehension speed and functional reading fluency. Conversely, the Nahwu Putih Al-Jurumiyah method contributes more significantly to the accuracy of I’rab (grammatical parsing) and demonstrates more stable long-term memory retention consistency (with a decline of only 5.0% compared to 12.0% for Al-Miftah). These findings substantiate a trade-off between cognitive speed and analytical depth. The impact of this research provides a new framework for Islamic educational institutions to integrate both methods, creating an accelerated Arabic literacy system that is both agile and precise for contemporary learners.
