This article presents the management of strengthening qawāʿid al-lughah al-ʿArabiyyah, particularly nahwu (Arabic syntax) and shorof (Arabic morphology), in enhancing the competencies of students in the Arabic Education Study Program at UIN Raden Intan Lampung in 2025. The study was motivated by the insufficient mastery of Arabic grammatical rules among some students, which has resulted in difficulties in comprehending Arabic literature and a lack of confidence in both spoken and written communication. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach supported by quantitative data obtained through a survey using a five-point scale (1 = not understanding to 5 = highly understanding) administered to third-semester students of the Arabic Education Study Program. The data collection process was complemented by classroom observations and in-depth interviews. Data analysis was conducted through data organization, thematic coding, interpretation, and cross-checking with findings from previous studies and relevant theories on educational management and Arabic language learning. The findings reveal that the bi’ah qawāʿid al-lughah al-ʿArabiyyah (Arabic grammar learning environment) among Arabic Education students falls within the lower-middle category. The strongest areas of mastery were ḍamīr munfaṣil–muttaṣil (independent and attached pronouns) (61.4%), various types of mafʿūl (58.6%), and ism al-ḍamīr (57.9%). In contrast, the most significant weaknesses were identified in ẓarf–tamyīz–ḥāl (47.9%) and particularly in ʿadad–maʿdūd (45.7%). This pattern indicates that students tend to perform better in grammatical topics that frequently appear in texts and classroom exercises, while they encounter greater challenges in topics requiring semantic reasoning and structural accuracy. From a managerial perspective, it was found that strengthening Arabic grammar requires a comprehensive approach encompassing explicit curriculum planning, the organization of learning through contextualized practice, and the implementation of intensive instructional strategies such as peer tutoring and digital media integration, and continuous evaluation through formative assessment.
