Abstract

This study is designed to examine the impact of the ability to read the Qur'an on the achievement of learning Arabic at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Asy Syifa Balikpapan. With a cooperative quantitative approach, a population of 200 students was studied and 35 students were randomly selected as samples. To collect data, this study used a questionnaire consisting of ten questions using the Likert Scale. Data analysis was carried out by applying reliability tests directly through SPSS 25. The R Square value obtained at 0.590 indicates that there is a significant correlation between the ability to read the Qur'an and the achievement of learning Arabic. This means that the ability to read the Qur'an contributes by 59% to the variation of Arabic learning outcomes. Furthermore, a reliability coefficient of 0.785 indicates that every 1% increase in Qur'anic reading ability will increase Arabic learning achievement by 0.785. In conclusion, the ability to read the Qur'an has a positive impact on Arabic learning outcomes, so it is very important to integrate the teaching of reading the Qur'an into the Arabic curriculum in madrassas to improve student achievement.
