While observing Arabic language learning activities, the researcher identified several challenges, including 1) students’ limited understanding of nahwu (Arabic syntax) rules and 2) a monotonous and unengaging learning system. The research aims to: 1) the effectiveness of the Al-Miftah Lil Ulum method in reducing student fatigue in learning Arabic qowaid and 2) whether the Al-Miftah Lil Ulum method improves students’ mastery of Arabic qowaid. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, specifically field research, to analyze the implementation of the Al-Miftah Lil Ulum method. Data analysis techniques include domain, taxonomic, componential, and thematic analyses. The findings indicate that implementing the Al-Miftah method at Muqaddimatul Akhlaq Islamic Junior High School has been effective and aligns with the guidelines outlined in the Al-Miftah Lil Ulum method handbook.
