Integration of Sharia Values in Arabic Language Education: A Character-Based Learning Model and Legal Literacy

Abstract

This study aims to develop an Arabic language learning model that integrates sharia values as a means of character formation and legal literacy among secondary school students. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review and classroom observation in several Islamic schools (madrasahs). The findings indicate that integrating sharia values into the learning process strengthens students’ affective dimensions, enhances their learning motivation, and fosters legal awareness grounded in Islamic principles. The proposed model combines linguistic components (grammar, morphology, and vocabulary) with Islamic legal values (jurisprudence, ethics, and moral conduct) delivered in a contextual and practical manner. Thus, Arabic language education is not only oriented toward linguistic mastery but also plays a significant role in shaping Islamic character and comprehensive legal literacy.
