PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA ARAB SEBAGAI STIMULUS BAGI SANTRI TAHFIZH AL-QURAN DI PP. AL-MUNAWWIR KOMPLEK RIBATHUL QURAN II UNTUK MEMAHAMI MAKNA AYAT AL-QURAN

Abstract

Most Islamic boarding schools that label themselves as Quran memorization schools do not pay much attention to the quality of their students' memorization. This quality is not only about reading or tajwid (recitation), but also about the students' ability to understand the memorized verses. Memorizing the Quran without understanding its meaning is inherently flawed. One well-known Quran memorization boarding school in Indonesia is the Al-Munawwir Islamic Boarding School in Yogyakarta, which has several dormitories. One of these dormitories is the Ribath al-Quran II complex, where students are given a special schedule for Arabic language learning. This Arabic language learning is intended to broaden the students' knowledge of Arabic vocabulary and grammar, which is the language of the Quran. This study aims to examine how Arabic language learning can stimulate students at the Ribathul Quran II complex, raising their awareness and interest in understanding the content of the memorized Quranic verses. The approach used to examine the data in this study is an educational psychology approach with Edward Lee Thorndike's Behaviorism learning theory, which introduces the concept of stimulus and response in the learning process. This research is a field study because it attempts to examine a phenomenon with data obtained directly in the field. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Meanwhile, data analysis was carried out through the process of data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions from the data that has been obtained. The results of this study indicate that learning Arabic is quite capable of stimulating students at the Ribathul Qur'an II Complex to have a strong desire and effort in understanding the meaning of the verses of the Quran. This is because in the learning process, the teacher not only provides vocabulary meanings and explains grammatical theories, but also touches on vocabulary in the Quran and directly applies Arabic grammar to sentences from the Quranic verses.
