Huruf Yā’ merupakan salah satu huruf hijaiyyah yang mempunyai pelbagai fungsi dalam nahu Arab. Namun, pemahaman majoriti pelajar lebih tertumpu pada satu fungsi iaitu sebagai ضمير (kata ganti nama) أنا yang bermaksud ‘saya’. Justeru, Objektif kajian ini dilakukan adalah untuk mengenal pasti tahap kemahiran pelajar dalam membezakan fungsi Yā’, mengenal pasti ketepatan penggunaan Yā’ dalam struktur ayat, serta menganalisis kemampuan pelajar menghubungjalin fungsi huruf Yā’ dengan i’rab. Hasil dari kajian ini boleh membantu para pengajar merangka, mempelbagaikan dan menambahbaik pengajaran bahasa Arab khususnya bagi subjek nahu. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif berdasarkan ujian bertulis dan temu bual terhadap lapan orang responden bermula dari darjah enam hingga tingkatan tiga di Madrasah Alsagoff Al-Arabiah, kajian ini dijalankan dengan berpandukan kerangka teori revisi Taksonomi Bloom. Hasilnya, dapatan kajian menunjukkan pemahaman ضمير (kata ganti nama) kepada أنا yang bermaksud ‘saya’ lebih dominan dari yang lain. Keterbatasan ini berlaku kerana pelajar menggunakan aspek kognitif mereka pada tahap mengingat dan memahami. Kesimpulannya, keterbatasan pelajar dalam fahaman fungsi huruf Ya’ berpunca pada kelemahan mereka yang tidak mengaplikasi dan menganalisis sesuatu maklumat yang diterima terlebih dahulu. Akibatnya mereka tidak mampu menilai perbezaan fungsi kepelbagaian huruf Yā’ dalam nahu Arab.

Semantics of Tammām also known as ilm al-dalālaṯis the discussion of the strong relationship between meaning and three items by integrating syntax and ilm al-ma‘ānī(the science of meaning). There are two pillars of meaning, namely ma‘nā maqālī(literal meaning) and ma‘nā maqāmī(contextual meaning)that uphold semantics.This study foundanyuncertainty regarding the semantic components can call into question the analysis’s efforts and the veracity of the results. Thisisas mentioned by Iftikhar Muhammad (2004) in his master’s thesis when talking about the uncertainty of niẓām al-jumlaṯ(verse system aspect) from Ibrāhīm Anīs.From that, this study has decidedto explain the semantic functions of the waqf lāzimthat is present in the Surah al-Mā’idaṯ.The selection of this Surah is based on the existence of three different waqf ikhtiyarilaws, there are law of tām, kāfīand ḥasan.This existence sheds light on the purpose and semantic significance of Tammam in the waqf lāzimverses with its several laws.In an effort to achieve the research objective, this study uses a qualitative method,covering only the literature review. By this method, the study has room to use a non-prominent method, where data is obtained from written records only. The collected data will then be analysedusing the content analysis method.It includes three steps: mind mapping of the waqf lāzimverse, verse description, and interpretation and evidence.Next,by using the research methodology earlier, this study found that two waqflāzimverses in Surah al-Mā’idaṯhave the same waqflaw, while the other two versesaredifferent. Two verses that have the same waqflaw are Surah al-Mā’idaṯ, 5: 51 and Surah al-Mā’idaṯ, 5: 64, that is, with the rule of kāfī.Two more verses are Surah al-Mā’idaṯ, 5: 2, which is with the law of tām, and Surah al-Mā’idaṯ, 5: 73, which is with the law of ḥasan.In the end, this study provided a simple semantic framework to understand its function in the verses of waqf lāzimas shown in Figure 1. This study also contributed in solving the ambiguity found in semantic theory such as Ibrāhīm Anīs in studying the verses of waqf lāzim. The most interesting contribution from this study is revealing the semantic correlation between the four verses of waqf lāzimwith signalling techniques
