Siti Robayan Dalimunthe — 2026-01-16

Reading the Qur’an is a fundamental skill for children in Islamic education, as it relates to the formation of morals, learning motivation, and understanding religious teachings. In Janjilobi Village, Barumun District, Padang Lawas Regency, some children experience difficulties in reading Arabic letters (huruf hijaiyah), understanding tajwid rules, and reading the Qur’an with tartil. This article aims to analyze these difficulties and implement community-based mentoring to improve Qur’an reading skills. PKM activities involved university students, Qur’an teachers, and parents, using interactive learning methods, teacher training, and mentoring at home. The results show improvements in letter pronunciation, understanding of tajwid, tartil reading ability, as well as children’s motivation and discipline. This PKM demonstrates that a collaborative and innovative mentoring model can be an effective solution that can be replicated in other areas

Sri Rahayu Harahap — 2026-01-16

Writing in Arabic is a complex skill involving linguistic mastery, cognitive processes, and motor coordination. In learning, students still experience difficulties in letter formation, distinguishing phonetically similar letters, spelling accuracy, and constructing simple sentences. This article aims to enhance the Arabic writing skills of tenth-grade students at Madrasah Aliyah Darussalam Kampung Banjir, Padang Lawas Utara, through a structured mentoring program. The program is implemented through scaffolded learning integrated with classroom activities, starting from letter and word writing exercises, constructing simple sentences, writing text components, to guided compositions. The results show improvements in writing accuracy, student confidence, and engagement in learning. Additionally, this activity helps teachers identify students' writing difficulties and implement more responsive teaching strategies. This community service affirms the importance of continuous mentoring and contextual writing practice in improving Arabic writing skills at the secondary education level

STRENGTHENING THE QURANIC RECITATION EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAM AT PONDOK PESANTREN MODERN BAHARUDDIN

Nora El Isra — 2026-01-16

The importance of Quranic recitation (tilawah) development as part of strengthening the religious competence of students (santri), as well as the limited availability of systematic and continuously evaluated mentoring models in the pesantren (Islamic boarding school) environment. This activity aims to strengthen the Quranic recitation extracurricular program through a structured mentoring program for santri. The findings of this activity reveal a lack of systematic mentoring models; therefore, this initiative involves santri and supervising teachers in learning tajwid (rules of recitation), makharijul huruf (articulation points of letters), sifatul huruf (characteristics of letters), and recitation melodies through demonstrations and direct practice. In conclusion, this program not only improves the quality of Quranic recitation but also provides a sustainable mentoring model that can be adopted by other pesantren

EXPLORING GRAMMAR MASTERY AS A FOUNDATION OF READING SKILLS IN SALAFIYAH ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOLS

Risky Samina Simamora — 2026-01-16

Grammar mastery (qawāʿid al-naḥwu) plays an essential role in understanding classical Arabic texts, particularly in Salafiyah Islamic education where unvocalized texts are commonly used. This study investigates the relationship between students’ grammar mastery and their reading skills (maharah al-qirā’ah) among eighth-grade students at Ma‘had Salafiyah Islamiyah al-Wustha, Padang Bujur. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 20 students through grammar and reading tests. The findings show that students with higher grammar mastery tend to demonstrate better reading proficiency, while those with limited grammatical understanding experience greater difficulty in reading classical texts. The results confirm a strong positive relationship between grammar mastery and reading skills, highlighting the importance of integrating grammar instruction with reading practice in Salafiyah-based Arabic learning

IMPROVING STUDENTS’ ARABIC COMPOSITION PERFORMANCE USING THE LISTING TECHNIQUE

Syafiha Napsah — 2026-01-16

Several students experienced difficulties in generating ideas, constructing sentences, and developing coherent paragraphs, as reflected in the low initial average score of 56.36. This finding indicates that their Arabic writing skills were still limited and that they tended to rely on memorization rather than meaningful expression. This study aimed to examine the improvement of Arabic writing (Inshā’) skills among fifth-grade students at Rida Allah Boarding School, Perlabian Luar, through the implementation of the Listing Technique. The study employed an action-oriented approach in which students participated in structured listing activities conducted across two phases. The results demonstrated a consistent improvement in students’ writing performance. The average scores increased to 68.18 and 68.64 in the first phase, and subsequently to 77.27 and 84.18 in the second phase. Meanwhile, the proportion of students who achieved an adequate level of writing performance increased from 36% to 73%. These findings indicate that the Listing Technique can effectively support students in generating ideas, organizing them into coherent paragraphs, and using vocabulary appropriately. Therefore, the technique provides a practical approach to facilitating the development of Arabic writing skills, particularly for learners who initially experience difficulties in expressing and organizing their ideas.
