<![CDATA[This study aims to examine how the internalization of Qur’anic values can be achieved through Arabic language teaching in higher education. Arabic, as the language of the Qur’an, plays a strategic role not only as a means of communication but also as a medium for instilling moral, spiritual, and social values in students. The research method used was literature study and observation of the Arabic language learning process in the campus environment. The results show that the integration of Qur’anic values into Arabic language learning materials, such as through the selection of Qur’anic verses and the application of values-based teaching strategies, can increase spiritual awareness and character development in students. The role of lecturers as value mediators is crucial in facilitating this internalization process. Thus, Arabic language teaching in higher education not only develops language competence but also shapes students’ personalities with noble morals and based on the teachings of the Qur’an.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aims to explore how linguistic and cultural differences shape communication dynamics in organizational settings, as well as to identify strategies that can effectively minimize misunderstandings. This research employs a library study design using secondary data sourced from books and online journals. The results show that company activities involve individuals from various countries, making cross-cultural communication unavoidable, with language differences being one of its main barriers. Since language is part of culture, variations in understanding or interpreting words or symbols can disrupt business or organizational processes. From an Islamic perspective, cross-cultural communication should be grounded in the values of honesty, trustworthiness, wisdom, and tolerance, as cultural differences are viewed as sunnatullah that must be approached with mutual respect. The application of Islamic communication ethics such as conveying information accurately, avoiding prejudice, and maintaining proper manners can create a harmonious and inclusive work environment. Thus, cross-cultural communication based on Islamic values not only strengthens professional relationships but also fosters brotherhood and brings blessings to the organization.]]>
