Muhammad Jundi, Muhammad Dalle, Safwan Rehan — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to capture an Arabic language immersion program (Mukhayyam al-Lughah al-Arabiyyah) by exploring the significance and meaning it holds for the students in-depth. The research focus extends beyond the impact of this activity on Arabic language proficiency alone, considering various related aspects as well. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this research gathered data through deep interviews with several students, participant observations, and documentation. Findings revealed: 1) Mukhayyam serves as a vital annual program, aiming to introduce Arabic language and culture to new students through immersive learning experiences. Through careful planning, involving student committees and departments, the program ensures the quality of activities and materials. 2) The implementation of Bī’ah Lughawiyah in Mukhayyam emphasizes the importance of creating a language-immersive environment where participants are required to communicate solely in Arabic throughout the program. The strict adherence to language rules, consistent supervision, and involvement of proficient Arabic speakers contribute to its successful establishment, promoting effective language acquisition and communication skills among participants. 3) There is a multifaceted significance of Mukhayyam for students. Uncovering its role in fostering camaraderie, forming and strengthening familial bonds, facilitating self-expression for students, and improving students' soft skills. By providing a platform for meaningful interactions and fostering a familial atmosphere, Mukhayyam contributes significantly to students' holistic academic and non-academic development.

Mukawwin ad-Dars al-Lugawi bi al-Mustawā aṡ-Ṡānawī al-I’dādī bi al-Magrib min Istirātījiyyah at-Tadrīs ilā Asālīb at-Taqwīm

Fatima Ezzahraa Elassali — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study shows the importance of language lessons in improving linguistic skills, for the learning and the mastery of the Arabic language, namely: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The study also clarifies the purpose of language lesson class, which is achieving several competencies for the learner to enable him/her to communicate effectively. The study shows as well some difficulties of teaching methodologies of the language lesson and its evaluation in middle schools in Morocco, through the adoption of the analytical descriptive approach in analyzing the problem under study. And through the adoption of the interpretive inference approach in stating the reasons and in revealing the challenges, which hinder the success of the teaching and the evaluation processes. The study concludes that the teaching methods of language lessons are inadequate. The time frame of its teaching is short. The way it is evaluated has several gaps. Also, the language class is irrelevant to the teaching reality and to the pedagogical condition of the teacher.

Wijhāt an-Naḍar ad-Dīniyah wa aṡ-Ṡaqāfiyah fī Riwāyati “Banāt ar-Riyāḍ” li Rajaa al-Sanea: Naqd Adabī Islāmī

Tatik Mariyatut Tasnimah, Husain Miftahul Rizqi, Ghazali bin Zainuddin — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the religious and cultural views of Rajaa al-Sanea in her novel Banāt Riyad from the perspective of Islamic literature. The novel has garnered both support and rejection from readers since its publication in 2005. The author portrays the characters with a lifestyle like American girls. Not only is the figure's name Westernized, but even the way of dressing and appearance is also very different from the habits of Saudi girls. However, the novelist claims that religious superiority exists in her novel. This research is qualitative. The data collection technique in this study is a documentation technique. This study uses the method of literary criticism from the perspective of Islamic Literature، which paralleles the mission of literary works and Islamic teachings. The criteria for judging and criticizing Islamic literature for works of fiction prioritize noble values and propriety, not freedom of expression. Based on this perspective، the researcher identifies deviations from Islamic teachings contained in the novel. The behavior of the novelists does not reflect the image of Islam. Harassment of religious symbols appears in the dialogue of characters who often use vulgar language. Gentle, beautiful, and polite language is not found in this novel.

Ad-Dalālah aṣ-Ṣautiyah li Ḥurūf ar-Rawiy fī Dīwān “Syajar El-Lail” li Salah Abdel Sabbour

Muhammad Zakaria Darlin, Sherif Alalfy — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The narration letters were multiplied in the free verse (free poetry) of its first pioneer in Egypt, the poet Salah Abdel Sabbour, violating the rules of rhyme established by al-Khalil. In the opinion of his followers, this may spoil the unity of the poem's meaning and lead to the corruption of the entire poem. The researchers tried to respond to these old critical opinions by discovering the hidden secrets behind these various rhymes by using stylistic and structural methodologies in addition to literature statistics, to justify the sincerity of the emotion of this new poetry and the extent of its interaction with the conditions of time and place in which the poetry is said. The researchers will apply it in his poetry collection "The Trees of the Night". The stylistic characteristics of these contemporary poems are going to be the proven evidence on the phonetic level in front of the reader. We found that the diversity of the last letter within the poem has enriched the meaning, making the poetry richer in meaning, and at the same time did not diminish the poetic energies.
