STRATEGI METODE MANHAJI DALAM MEMAHAMI LITERATUR BAHASA ARAB DI MADRASAH MU???ALLIMIN MUHAMMADIYAH YOGYAKARTA

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and describe the implementation of the strategy of the Manhaji method in helping students at Madrasah Mu???allimin Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta understand Arabic literature. The Manhaji method, which integrates both traditional and modern learning approaches, is designed to facilitate students' comprehension of nahwu, ???araf, and balaghah through a systematic and applied learning process. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed through stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion or verification. The findings indicate that the Manhaji Method learning strategy is effective in enhancing students??? understanding of Arabic literature by applying the following strategies: (1) integrating the talaqqi method combined with three modern learning approaches???lectures, discussions, and modeling; (2) adopting a theoretical-applicative approach; (3) using qir?????ah (reading) and tarjamah (translating) as the main components; and (4) utilizing specially designed songs or nasyid as learning media tailored to the Manhaji method. The implementation of the Manhaji method is realized through the organization of a daurah (intensive course) conducted during the semester break, lasting for one week. This program is designed in a systematic and structured manner. However, there are some challenges including limited student enthusiasm, the predominance of lecture-based delivery, a shortage of educators proficient in the Manhaji method, and the relatively short duration of the program.
