Analysis Of The Ability To Distinguish The Forms Of Fi‘l Mādi And Fi‘l Mudāri ‘in Sentences In Students Of Mas Miftahussalam Medan

Introduction

The Arabic language is a complex and rich language that has been studied for centuries. One of the key aspects of Arabic is the use of verbs, which can be classified into different forms based on their meaning and time. Two of the most important forms of verbs in Arabic are Fi‘l Mādi and Fi‘l Mudāri ‘. Fi‘l Mādi refers to the verb that shows events that have occurred in the past, while Fi‘l Mudāri ‘shows a verb that includes the present and future. Understanding the difference between these two forms is crucial for students, especially in the educational environment that emphasizes learning Arabic.

In this study, we aim to analyze the ability of students in Mas Miftahussalam Medan in distinguishing the forms of Fi‘l Mādi and Fi‘l Mudāri ‘, and identifying the obstacles they face. The research method used is descriptive with a quantitative approach, based on the theory of Gulayaini and other supporting books.

The Importance of Understanding Fi‘l Mādi and Fi‘l Mudāri ‘

Understanding the difference between Fi‘l Mādi and Fi‘l Mudāri ‘ is crucial for students of Arabic. This is because the correct use of these forms can affect the meaning of a sentence. For example, the sentence "I studied Arabic yesterday" uses Fi‘l Mādi, while the sentence "I study Arabic now" uses Fi‘l Mudāri ‘. If a student is unable to distinguish between these two forms, they may produce sentences that are incorrect or confusing.

The Ability of Students to Distinguish Fi‘l Mādi and Fi‘l Mudāri ‘

The results of this study showed that the ability of students to distinguish the forms of fi‘l mādi and fi‘l mudāri ‘is classified as good. The highest value obtained is 85, while the lowest value reaches 47.5. The average value obtained by all students is 69.5. Although the results are quite encouraging, there are still a number of obstacles experienced by students.

Obstacles Faced by Students

There are several obstacles that students face in distinguishing the forms of fi‘l mādi and fi‘l mudāri ‘. These obstacles include:

Limited Class Hours

Students do not get enough time to understand the material in depth, so that their ability to distinguish the two forms of verbs is not optimal. This is a significant obstacle, as students need sufficient time to practice and reinforce their understanding of the material.

Educational Background

Variations in educational background student can affect their understanding of Arabic. Students who have a strong foundation in Arabic more easily understand the difference between fi‘l mādi and fi‘l mudāri ‘. This is because students with a strong foundation in Arabic have a better understanding of the language and its nuances.

Low Learning Interest

Lack of interest in learning can be a significant inhibiting factor. If students do not have enough motivation, the Arabic learning process can be difficult and boring. This can lead to a lack of engagement and motivation, which can negatively impact a student's ability to distinguish the forms of fi‘l mādi and fi‘l mudāri ‘.

Good Resources

Good resources are very important to support language understanding. Students need access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, online materials, and language learning software. Without these resources, students may struggle to understand the material and may not be able to distinguish the forms of fi‘l mādi and fi‘l mudāri ‘.

Conclusion

Overall, this study shows that although Mas Miftahussalam Medan students have a good enough ability to understand Fi‘l Mādi and Fi‘l Mudāri ‘, there is still room for improvement. By overcoming existing obstacles, it is expected that the ability of students in Arabic, especially in distinguishing the forms of verbs, can increase significantly. Educational institutions, especially Mas Miftahussalam Medan, can take improvement steps by increasing Arabic class hours, providing more motivation to students, and providing richer and varied reading material.

Recommendations

Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made:

• Increase Arabic class hours: Students need sufficient time to practice and reinforce their understanding of the material. Increasing Arabic class hours can help students to better understand the material and to distinguish the forms of fi‘l mādi and fi‘l mudāri ‘.
• Provide more motivation to students: Lack of interest in learning can be a significant inhibiting factor. Providing more motivation to students can help to increase their engagement and motivation, which can positively impact their ability to distinguish the forms of fi‘l mādi and fi‘l mudāri ‘.
