The Growthing Love of Arabic Language and Soft Skill Through Learning to Read Al-Qur’an and Knowing Mahfudhot

Abstract

Abstract. Arabic is still considered a difficult subject for children, even though it is the language of the Qur'an. Reading the Qur'an for children has been started and introduced early on through learning at the TPA or the like. In fact, it is not uncommon for a child to be able to read the Qur'an well at a young age. However, this has not made it easy for children to learn Arabic. For this reason, it is necessary to provide awareness for children that learning to read the Al-Qur'an is also learning Arabic at the same time. So that it can foster a love for learning it and keep away from the attitude that learning Arabic is difficult. Besides that, to cultivate character in children in this empowerment program it will also provide mahfudhot learning where these mahfudhot words have a deep meaning, but unfortunately they are still taught in Islamic boarding schools and have not been studied in schools in general. Words of wisdom in mahfudhot can provide understanding and foster good character for children if they study them and even stick them in strategic places so that they are always remembered and implemented.
