Abstract

Reading the classics/yellow book is the biggest project for a student besides improving moral quality. Lubbul Labib Islamic Boarding School realizes that reading books is not an instant thing that can be obtained easily and in a short time. Lubbul Labib Islamic Boarding School uses the Al-Miftah Lil Ulum method as a quick method to be able to read the yellow book. It is hoped that with this method, students will be able to master reading books in a relatively shorter time.The aim of this research is to determine the application of the Al-Miftah method in improving students' skills at the Lubbul Labib Islamic Boarding School Kedungsari Maron with a special focus on improving reading comprehension of the Yellow Book. The Yellow Book is the most important source of information about Islam. Classical Arabic is frequently used and requires specialized knowledge. Therefore, mastering the reading of the Yellow Book is very important for students to study religious knowledge in depth. Known for its systematic and interactive approach, the Al-Miftah method is designed to help students understand these ancient texts The research method used is the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach by developing spiritual assets owned by the community, one of which is the preservation of rock culture. This program holds two evaluations, namely teacher evaluation and student evaluation. There are several obstacles experienced by both teachers and students. Obstacles experienced by students include difficulty reading pegon and difficulty understanding the material in perticuar and children experiencing boredom. Meanwhile, the obstacles experienced by teachers are difficulty understanding the students' abilities, difficulty controlling the class and difficulty motivating. The results of the research show that the application of the Al-Miftah method at the Lubbul Labib Islamic Boarding School has had a positive impact on increasing students' ability to read and understand the yellow book. Through structured practice and individualized instruction, students will understand the rules of the Arabic language more easily and quickly. This method encourages students' active participation in every learning process and speeds up the understanding process. Overall, empowering students through the Al-Miftah method can improve the quality of religious education in Islamic boarding schools and equip students with skills that will be useful in everyday life. This research recommends that the use of this method be expanded to other Islamic boarding schools so that learning through the Yellow Book can be maximized in the future.
