Abstract

Abu Nawas is considered to be one of the greatest poets of classical Arabic literature, whose life was previously controversial, but when he repented, the poem Al-I’tiraf was created. And his famous poem is still recited today because it has its power for Muslims. Therefore, the researcher aims to study the hidden meanings in the lyrics of the poem Al-I’tiraf by Abu Nawas, using Riffaterre’s semiotic theory analysis. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods. The result of this study is that the matrix in this poem is found to be the hope of a servant, then the model is repentance and forgiveness, and its variants are found in the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth stanzas. The potential hypogram in the context of the poem Al-I’tiraf, which reflects the hope of a servant refers to the deep aspirations and desires of a servant of Allah which are reflected in the confession of sin and request for repentance. Actual hypogram in the Qur’an in surah al-Anbiyah’ verse 87 and Hadits narrated by Imam Muslim.

Abstract

This study is an attempt to provide an alternative solution to a common issue at the foundational level of Arabic language learning, namely letter recognition. For non-native speakers, articulation often poses a significant challenge, and misarticulation can lead to numerous subsequent problems related to speaking and listening skills. This research compares the phonology of Arabic and Indonesian letters to develop instructional materials for beginner-level Arabic learners. The study employs a qualitative method based on a comparative approach, analyzing the articulation of each letter in both languages. The findings indicate that the teaching of Arabic letter articulation to Indonesian speakers should begin with groups of letters that have identical articulation, followed by groups with similar articulation, and finally, those with distinct articulation.

Abstract

This article delves into the stylistics features of the Arabic language in the Qur’an, focusing specifically on Surah Al-Baqarah, verses 115 to 130, which highlight Al-Asmā’ al-Ḥusnā, or “the most beautiful names.” These divine names embody the exalted qualities of Allah and provide a pathway to understanding His essence. Through a stylistic lens, the article investigates how various linguistic devices such as metaphors, alliteration, and repetition serve to amplify both the message and the aesthetic appeal of these verses. The analysis reveals that each name not only conveys a unique meaning but also enriches the broader narrative and spiritual framework of Surah Al-Baqarah. With its profound linguistic artistry, the Qur'an encourages readers to contemplate the deeper significance of Allah’s names, fostering a greater connection to their faith and spiritual comprehension. This study seeks to offer fresh insights in Qur'anic scholarship and promote a deeper appreciation of the linguistic beauty inherent in this noble text.

Abstract

Classical Arabic (Fusha) and Modern Arabic differ significantly in structure, vocabulary, and usage. This study explores the challenges and opportunities of incorporating Classical Arabic into Modern Arabic instruction, focusing on its impact on students' language skills and cultural understanding. Using a case study approach, the research includes qualitative interviews and classroom observations to assess how teaching Classical Arabic enhances students' comprehension of Modern Arabic while identifying challenges such as grammatical complexities and vocabulary that may not be relevant to daily communication. The findings suggest that while Classical Arabic improves students' linguistic and cultural understanding, key challenges include its grammatical complexity and a lack of student engagement. However, the study also highlights opportunities to enhance academic skills and foster a deeper appreciation for Arabic literature and culture. The study recommends an integrated curriculum with contextualized teaching strategies to improve student motivation and comprehension, bridging the gap between Classical and Modern Arabic for a more comprehensive learning experience.
