THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF TEACHING SARF IN MADRASAHS

The teaching of Sarf, or Arabic morphology, forms a cornerstone of Islamic education, particularly in madrasahs, as it equips learners with the ability to analyze and interpret classical texts accurately. This study explores the theoretical and methodological foundations of Sarf instruction, emphasizing the integration of classical scholarship with modern pedagogical strategies. It highlights the importance of linking theoretical knowledge with practical exercises, progressive content sequencing, and interactive learning approaches. Furthermore, the study underscores that a balanced methodology, combining tradition and innovation, enhances students’ linguistic competence, critical thinking, and comprehension of religious texts.
