Abstract
Reading skills are one of the essential Arabic language skills that must be mastered to understand various Arabic texts. However, the learning process still faces several obstacles, such as difficulty reading hijaiyah letters, limited vocabulary, and weak comprehension of reading content. To overcome these problems, Pondok Pesantren Riadul Qur'an Al-Ihsani Ajung Malang uses Arabic comic media in teaching reading skills. This study aims to describe the use of Arabic comic media in teaching reading skills for beginners and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, and data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that the use of Arabic comic media in learning reading skills is carried out through three stages, namely planning, implementation, and evaluation. This media has helped students understand vocabulary and reading content, increased their interest and enthusiasm, and made it easier for teachers to deliver learning materials. Among the supporting factors are student enthusiasm, the active role of teachers, and the suitability of comic content for the beginner level. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors include limited vocabulary, differences in students' reading abilities, and limited learning time.
