Limited access to structured basic Arabic and Qur’anic learning activities outside formal education remains a challenge in strengthening Islamic literacy among children in Jorong Muaro Palintangan. This community service activity was conducted to provide children with basic knowledge and skills in Arabic and Qur’anic reading through learning activities that were adapted to their needs and learning abilities. The activity aimed to strengthen children’s Islamic literacy by introducing basic Arabic vocabulary, hijaiyah letters, Qur’anic reading, and simple religious expressions. The program was implemented using a participatory educational approach through direct instruction, guided practice, question-and-answer sessions, repetition, and interactive learning activities. The target participants were children in Jorong Muaro Palintangan, with evaluation conducted through observation of participation, understanding, and learning progress during the activities. The results showed that the children demonstrated increased participation and enthusiasm in learning, particularly in recognizing hijaiyah letters, pronouncing Arabic vocabulary, and practicing basic Qur’anic reading. The activities also created a more structured learning environment and encouraged children to become more actively involved in Islamic learning. The contribution of this program lies in providing a simple and applicable model of community-based Islamic literacy education that can be continued by families and local communities. Thus, basic Arabic and Qur’anic learning can serve as an educational effort to strengthen children’s Islamic literacy while supporting sustainable community empowerment in Jorong Muaro Palintangan.
