Fri, 21 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This research aims to determine and classify the forms of morphological, syntactic, and semantic errors resulting from AI Poe's translation in translating the translated text of the Al-Qur'an. By applying descriptive qualitative research methods and a literature study research design, this research will reveal the forms of translation errors. The data was obtained from the results of AI Poe's translation of the verses of the Koran that appeared in the book Exemplary Stories of Muslim Children by Maulana Ar-Rosyid. The analysis is conducted through three main steps: identifying linguistic errors, classifying errors based on morphological, syntactic, and semantic aspects, and analyzing and interpreting the errors about the limitations of AI Poe and the complexity of the text. The validity of the data is strengthened through source triangulation, which involves comparing it with Arabic dictionaries, linguistic theories, and expert opinions on translation. The research results concluded that AI Poe had significant limitations in translating the translated text of the Al-Qur'an from Indonesian to Arabic. Of all the data translated by AI Poe, 58% was indicated to contain errors. From the analysis of 21 existing text data, several linguistic errors were found spread across three main aspects: namely syntactic 34 errors (51%), semantic 25 errors (37%), and morphological eight errors (12%).

Al-Ālaqah baina Tafsīr Āyāt al-Aḥkām wa al-Fiqh al-Muqāran al-Nasy’ah wa al-Taţawwur

Mücahit Elhut — Thu, 01 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Holy Qur’an, being the primary source of legislation in Islamic jurisprudence, has motivated Muslim scholars to dedicate efforts to its study, understanding, and application. Among these scholars are jurists who not only engaged in jurisprudence but also endeavored to systematize the Qur'anic verses containing legal rulings in a unique organizational framework, distinct from traditional jurisprudential writing. Some scholars combined opinions from various schools of thought, employing a comparative jurisprudence approach. This approach is clearly embodied in the works of Al-Qurtubi, who, although he provided a complete exegesis of the Qur'an, distinguished his work by its jurisprudential nature, incorporating the views of scholars from multiple schools of thought. Some scholars focused on a single school, though occasionally referencing others, such as Al-Jassas, who supported his views with evidence. Other works were based on the Shafi’i school, such as "Ahkam al-Qur'an" attributed to Al-Shafi'i or what Al-Kiya al-Harrasi extracted from Shafi'i opinions in verses of legal rulings.
When discussing the origins of this field, it is evident that it began with the revelation of the Qur'an, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) was responsible for clarifying its rulings, followed by his companions and their successors, as well as the founders of various legal schools. These founders were not limited to the well-known schools today but included others like Al-Awza'i, Al-Layth, and others whose jurisprudential views on many legal verses must be considered and understood in the context of their development.
This research aims to provide a definition of the interpretation of verses of legal rulings in the introduction, including an overview of its origins. The first section reviews the history of these studies, while the second section explains the main methodologies employed in these works and the general characteristics of this type of exegesis. The conclusion presents the key findings and recommendations.

Stylistic Analysis of the Eschatological Narrative in the Qur’an

Shofwan Sholahudin, Asep Sopian — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the stylistic aspects of Surah Az-Zumar verses 71–74, focusing on the eschatological representation of the Qur'an through linguistic elements. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing library research. The primary data consists of Surah Az-Zumar verses 71–74 and classical and modern exegeses collected through documentation. Data analysis uses qualitative content analysis based on the Qalyubi stylistic framework, encompassing phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic levels. Phonological analysis reveals a consistent end-rhyme pattern and internal rhythm, reinforced by assonance and tempo variations, which create significant emotional and aesthetic impacts. Morphologically, the strategic use of passive forms, such as "sīqa" and "futiḥat," emphasizes eschatological events and enhances visual imagery, thereby building dramatic tension. From a syntactic perspective, formulaic repetition and stylistic ellipsis highlight the narrative contrast between the destinies of the inhabitants of Paradise and Hell, clarifying the divine message of justice and engaging readers emotionally. Semantically, the employment of musyākalah and muqābalah khilāfī enriches the narrative by subtly contrasting the two destinies through word choice. In conclusion, stylistic elements in Surah Az-Zumar verses 71–74 are not merely aesthetic embellishments but serve as profound theological tools, shaping readers' cognitive, affective, and spiritual experiences of eschatological reality.

The strategy implemented in the execution of the muhâdhoroh activity at the Madrasah Aliyah Tahfidzul Qur'an Al UMM Smart Center involves male and female teachers selecting the theme of the speech. Then, the students study and memorize it independently before presenting it. After the muhâdhoroh activity is completed, the male and female teachers immediately evaluate the students' performance by explaining the aspects that need improvement, to develop the students' Arabic language skills for the future. There is no doubt that this muhâdhoroh activity has a significant and positive impact on the students, especially in building their self-confidence in speaking Arabic.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Picture Description strategy in improving speaking skills among seventh-grade students at Al-Durrah Integrated Private Islamic Secondary School in Mariela. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with the Arabic language teacher and five students, questionnaires administered to all students, and documents such as pictures of learning activities, lesson plans, and students’ work. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and verification in a narrative form. The results showed that applying the “Picture Description” strategy increased student engagement, self-confidence, and ability to construct meaningful and contextual oral sentences. Visual media also helped students understand vocabulary and express their ideas more confidently. Moreover, this strategy effectively overcame the traditional Arabic instruction's negative and monotonous nature. The significance of this study lies in its provision of the first empirical evidence at the middle school level regarding the effectiveness of the “Picture Description” strategy. It also offers practical contributions to Arabic language teachers in designing more communicative and contextualized instruction that aligns with the needs of 21st-century learners.

This study aims to analyze the rhetorical structure of the methodology section in Arabic-language scientific articles written by native Arabic speakers and Indonesian speakers, particularly in linguistics and education. Using a qualitative approach and content analysis method, the study applies Zhang and Wannaruk’s (2016) Move and Step framework to identify rhetorical patterns and examine the use of tense and voice in the methodology section. The data were obtained from 80 journal articles—40 in education and 40 in linguistics—equally divided between Arab and Indonesian authors, selected through purposive sampling. The findings show that Move 2 (describing data collection procedures) is the most dominant (56.9%), indicating that the majority of authors place greater emphasis on technical and procedural aspects rather than research design (Move 1: 19.5%) or data analysis procedures (Move 3: 23.5%). Indonesian authors focus more on Move 2 (62.7%) than Arab authors (51.7%), while Arab authors demonstrate a more balanced structure across the three Moves. From a linguistic perspective, it was found that the use of Māḍi (past tense) is more dominant than Muḍāri’(present tense), especially in Moves 1 and 2, as these parts describe processes already carried out. Active voice is more frequently used in Moves 1 and 2, while passive voice is more dominant in Move 3 to maintain objectivity rather than emphasize the researcher’s role.

This study aims to improve Imla’s learning outcomes in Arabic language classes by implementing a word-guessing game among seventh-grade students at SMP Swasta Muhammadiyah 48 Medan. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method in two cycles. The primary data sources were the seventh-grade students and the Arabic language teacher. Data collection techniques included classroom observations, interviews with the teacher and students, and administering tests (pre-test and post-test) to measure students’ learning outcomes. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques to interpret the results of observations and interviews, and quantitative analysis using a paired t-test to determine the significant differences between the pre-test and post-test results. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ learning achievements following the implementation of the word-guessing game, as reflected by the increase in average post-test scores compared to pre-test scores and statistically significant results from the t-test. Therefore, the word-guessing game proved effective in strengthening vocabulary mastery, enhancing Imla’s writing skills, and fostering student motivation and active participation in the learning process. This method is recommended as an innovative alternative for teaching Arabic at the junior high school level.
