Abstract

Arabic language learning in Islamic educational institutions continues to face challenges related to low student engagement and the limited use of interactive digital learning media. Although Smart Apps Creator (SAC) has been widely used to develop digital teaching materials, a comprehensive synthesis of its trends, effectiveness, and implementation challenges in Arabic language learning remains limited. This study aims to analyze research trends, identify advantages and limitations, and examine the effectiveness of SAC-based digital media in enhancing student motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes in Arabic language education. This study employs a literature review method by systematically collecting and analyzing relevant studies published between 2019 and 2024 from national and international academic databases. The findings indicate that SAC-based digital media are effective in increasing student motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes, particularly in reading, vocabulary, and writing skills. However, limitations are found in supporting speaking and listening skills, content personalization, teachers’ digital competence, and technological infrastructure in certain contexts. This study contributes by providing a structured synthesis of empirical findings and offering pedagogical and technological recommendations for optimizing the use of SAC in Arabic language learning, particularly in Islamic educational settings.

Abstract

Major changes in education in the digital age have encouraged non-formal institutions to innovate, including the KUBA program in Malang. Limited space, time, and resources have made digital technology a key strategy for expanding access and supporting contextual learning. This study analyzes the use of digital technology in Arabic language learning at KUBA Malang, focusing on teacher strategies, participant engagement, and challenges encountered. A qualitative case study was applied, with data collected through semi-structured interviews and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model with triangulation of sources. The results show that KUBA integrates Google Meet for online classes, WhatsApp for coordination, and Quizizz for assessment. Innovations are seen in digital comics, animated videos, and native speaker audio, which facilitate vocabulary learning and improve speaking skills. The main challenge is unstable internet connection, which is overcome by providing class recordings for students who cannot attend or experience technical problems. KUBA also offers guidance in routine speaking activities to support material and mental readiness. This study concludes that creative digital media at KUBA Malang not only expands access but also offers an innovative approach that is relevant to non-formal education in the digital era.

Abstract

The rapid development of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created new opportunities for interactive and adaptive learning media in Arabic language education. Tools such as ChatGPT and Chatbot AI enable dialogic interaction, immediate feedback, and personalized learning experiences that support students in practicing language skills and accessing learning resources. However, existing studies on generative AI in Arabic language learning often focus primarily on learning outcomes, while the role of these technologies in supporting students’ learning strategies has received limited systematic attention. This study aims to systematically examine the forms and pedagogical characteristics of generative AI-based learning media, analyze their association with the development of students’ learning strategies, and identify pedagogical and contextual challenges in implementation. This research employs a qualitative Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method guided by the PRISMA framework, with interpretation supported by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Fifteen studies published between 2021 and 2025 were selected from Google Scholar and Crossref databases based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings indicate that ChatGPT and Chatbot AI are widely used to support speaking, writing, translation practice, adaptive feedback, and independent learning in Arabic language learning. These technologies function as external scaffolds that facilitate learning planning, resource management, and learning process monitoring. The study concludes that generative AI has significant potential to support strategic learning development in Arabic language education, although its implementation still faces challenges related to linguistic accuracy, ethical considerations, and disparities in digital literacy and technological infrastructure.

Abstract

his study analyzes the rhythm (wazan) and moral messages in the qasīdah “ʾA min ʾUmmī ʾAwfā Dimnatun Lam Takallamī” by Zuhayr Ibn Abī Sulmā using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data were taken from the poetic text published on the website aldiwan.net, while the data collection technique was conducted through library research and analyzed using the study of ʿarūḍ to determine the type of baḥr and rhythmic variations, namely ziḥāf and ‘illat. The moral messages were then interpreted based on their types and forms. The results show that this qasīdah employs baḥr ṭawīl with a consistent basic pattern, although it frequently undergoes modifications due to the ziḥāf qabḍ. In verse 30, there is also an occurrence of the ‘illat ḥażf. In terms of morality, the most dominant message concerns human relationships with others 30 verses, followed by relationships with oneself 26 verses, and lastly relationships with God 3 verses. Regarding the forms of moral expression, exemplary conduct is the most dominant 30 verses, followed by warnings 21 verses and advice 8 verses, affirming the qasīdah’s character as an ethical reflection on peace, social responsibility, and wisdom in confronting conflict. These findings confirm that the qaṣīdah not only presents the beauty of rhythmic structure within the tradition of ʿarūḍ, but also conveys profound moral messages concerning social relationships, self-control, and human values. This study demonstrates that ʿarūḍ analysis is effective in revealing the relationship between rhythmic patterns and moral meaning in classical Arabic poetry, particularly in identifying the function of zihāf and ʿillat variations as part of both aesthetic and ethical expression in literary texts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the main challenges and strategies in improving financial management accountability at Muslimeen Suksa Islamic Private School in Thailand. The research employs a qualitative case study approach. Primary data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with the principal as the person in charge of financial management and classroom teachers involved in budget implementation, supported by observation and document analysis. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that although financial management functions such as planning, implementation, recording, and reporting have been carried out, accountability has not been fully optimized due to limited human resource competence, weak internal control mechanisms, dependence on government funding, and limited digital financial systems. Accountability is reflected in documented financial reports and conformity between budget plans and realization; however, transparency and digital documentation still require strengthening. Therefore, integrated strategies including digitalization, capacity building, internal supervision, and standardized reporting are needed to enhance sustainable financial accountability. These findings affirm that strengthening institutional accountability is essential to ensure transparency, efficiency, and long-term sustainability of Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

Arabic language learning in Madrasah Tsanawiyah still faces the problem of students’ low maharah kalam (speaking skill). One of the factors contributing to this condition is students’ limited vocabulary mastery and the lack of optimal integration between vocabulary learning and speaking practice. Vocabulary is often taught separately and focused on memorization, which causes students to experience difficulties in applying vocabulary in oral communication. This study aims to examine the use of integrative vocabulary materials implemented by teachers in improving students’ maharah kalam skills at a Madrasah Tsanawiyah. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method and was conducted at a state Madrasah Tsanawiyah. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of learning activities. The findings indicate that the use of integrative vocabulary materials can improve students’ speaking fluency, confidence in using Arabic orally, and accuracy in vocabulary usage during maharah kalam activities. In addition, this strategy encourages students’ activeness and participation throughout the learning process. This study contributes to the development of Arabic language learning based on integrative vocabulary instruction and provides practical implications for teachers in designing more communicative and contextual learning to enhance students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

Writing skills (maharah kitabah) are among the fundamental competencies in learning Arabic ; however, they frequently receive insufficient emphasis in instructional practice. Limited student interest and the scarcity of varied learning media have become major obstacles to achieving optimal results, particularly in writing proficiency. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of  KitaPad (Kitabah iPad), a learning medium that utilizes visual templates, in improving the writing skills of 10th-grade students. KitaPad was developed to create a more engaging, interactive, and well-structured learning process through the use of iPad technology equipped with visual templates that support students’ cognitive and writing development. The study employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design, involving one class that received instruction using KitaPad. Data were collected through written tests administered before and after the treatment. The findings revealed a notable increase in students’ post-test scores relative to their pre-test results, indicating that KitaPad successfully enhances writing skills. Hence, technology-based visual media like KitaPad offer substantial potential to enhance student motivation and learning outcomes, particularly in the area of writing proficiency.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of using Plotagon-based video dialogue media on improving students’ Arabic speaking skills (maharah kalam) at grade XI-10 of MAN Sidoarjo. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The research subjects consisted of 38 students. Data were collected through speaking skill tests, observation, and documentation. The speaking skill assessment instrument covered pronunciation, speaking intonation, fluency, vocabulary, and grammatical accuracy. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test due to non-normal data distribution. The results showed an increase in the students’ average speaking scores from 74 in the pretest to 87 in the posttest. The Wilcoxon test indicated a significant difference between students’ speaking abilities before and after the treatment, with a significance value of 0.000. Furthermore, the effect size calculation yielded an r value of 0.87, which falls into the large effect category. Therefore, it can be concluded that Plotagon-based video dialogue media is effective and has a significant impact on improving students’ Arabic speaking skills.

Abstract

his study examines the principle of universal justice in Qur’anic verse QS. Al-Mā’idah 8 through Fazlur Rahman’s double movement hermeneutical approach and its relevance to the issue of global Human Rights (HR) bias in the case of Palestine. The verse emphasizes the obligation to uphold justice for all people, including adversaries, and rejects any form of injustice driven by hatred, prejudice, or political interests. This research employs a qualitative method using library-based analysis. The findings indicate that although various international human rights organizations have documented serious violations committed by Israel against the Palestinian people, global responses—particularly from major powers such as the United States—remain selective and politically motivated. This situation reveals a significant disparity between the ideal principles of universal human rights and their actual implementation in geopolitical practice. The study concludes that the Qur’anic principle of justice, when interpreted through Rahman’s hermeneutics, provides a strong ethical framework for critiquing such double standards and for promoting a more consistent, impartial, and humane human rights paradigm in support of justice for Palestine.
