Da’wah is the term used to refer to the process of spreading information about Islam by a da’I (a Muslim communicator). Indonesia, as the country with the biggest Muslim population in the world has produced a large number of da’I who gain popularity in either, local, national, or international scale. Ustadz Abdul Somad is one among the most popular da’I from Indonesia who in the last few years has attracted audience across various social economic, educational, and political backgrounds. Driven by the popularity gained by Abdul Somad which outruns most other da’I in Indonesia, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing the success of his da’wah communication. This study applied a descriptive qualitative approach using documentation and interview as the instruments of data collection. The findings show that there are two main factors behind the success of his da’wah communication, First, the verbal factors which include comprehensive reference and the language choice. Second, the nonverbal one, which in this case is the use of various platforms for da’wah dissemination.

There are some factors causing some challenges for non-Arabs speakers in learning Arabic, which include non-linguistic and linguistic ones. These factors also influence Indonesian students learning Arabic as a foreign language. In general, Indonesian students find difficulties in learning Arabic due to a number of differences between Indonesian as their first language (L1) with Arabic as the target language (L2) at almost all aspects of linguistics. The process of learning L2 which does not show its linguistic equations in their L1 has led the assumption among Arabic students in Indonesia that the language is difficult to learn. Therefore, this study aims to: (1) describe the similarities between Indonesian and Arabic phonetics; (2) describe the differences between Indonesian and Arabic phonetic; and (3) offer a formulation of Arabic learning pattern for speakers of Indonesian learning Arabic to help them learn the language easier. This research applied a comparative descriptive qualitative approach. The result of data analysis shows three findings; (1) There are 16 (sixteen) similar sounds of Indonesian and Arabic phonemes; (2) There are 7 (seven) Indonesian phonemes that do not exist in Arabic; and (3) There are 13 (thirteen) Arabic phonemes that do not exist in Indonesian. Based on these findings, it is suggested that the teaching of Arabic language should prioritize the similar sounds in Indonesian and Arabic.

Language and law seem to have either distant or no connection at all. However, in reality these two disciplines are closely interconnected and interrelated, particularly in the perspectives of Islamic legal theory. One’s language competence is among the determining factors in comprehending Islamic law. This is because in Islamic legal theory, law is derived from the tenets enshrined in the Qur’an and the Prophetic traditions that require a high standard of Arabic language science. Thus, it can be concluded that language and law are inseparable. Unfortunately, many students majoring Islamic law still have minor knowledge as well as awareness of the connection between these two disciplines. Regarding this case in hand, the aims of this study are two fold; first, to find out students’ awareness of the role of language competence in Islamic legal theory, and second, to investigate the correlation between the awareness with students’ competence in Islamic legal theory. This study conducted at the postgraduate program, UIN SU employed a qualitative approach. The data were collected by using questionnaire and in-depth interview. The findings reveal that students’ awareness of the significance of language competence is still relatively low. Furthermore, it is also found that the awareness is positively correlated with their competence in Islamic legal theory.

The rapid growing of Islamic finance sector is characterized by the establishment of Islamic financial institutions as well as Islamic financial market worldwide. Indonesia also shows significant development in this sector, which can be observed through the founding of various Islamic banking and insurance companies. As a result, Indonesian students’ interests in taking majors in Islamic Economics and Business are skyrocketing in the last decade. However, this phenomenon is not without any challenges since those students come from different educational backgrounds, either Islamic or public high schools. Meanwhile, Islamic finance uses much terminology taken from Arabic and English languages. This means that students from public high schools may not be familiar with the terms from those two languages, particularly the Arabic-derived ones. Thus, this study aimed to investigate Islamic Economics and Business UIN SU students’ comprehension of Arabic and English Terminology used in Islamic Finance. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, this study used questionnaire as the instrument of data collection. The results reveal interesting findings indicating students’ comprehension of Arabic terminology is significantly higher than that of English one. It can be concluded that students coming from either Islamic or public educational background have no significant differences in understanding Islamic financial terms derived from Arabic and English languages.
