Abstract

In Malaysia, there are widespread opportunities for studying Arabic language, beginning from preschool, primary school to secondary school and university level. There are public universities in Malaysia which offer relevant programs specializing in Arabic language such as Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). Among the core courses for specialization in Arabic language are courses relating to Arabic grammar. Courses on grammar encompass various aspects, among which is huruf alma‘ani. Past prominent Arabic grammarians emphasized very much on study of huruf al-ma‘ani. Various works on it were written by many Arabic grammarians. One of them was the distinguished 8 th Century Hijrah Ibn Hisham al-Ansari. He contributed much to Arabic grammar development, particularly through his famous writing which is still relevant for application even today. Among his works is Mughni al-Labib which is considered as a masterpiece acclaimed and regarded as unique by many lovers of Arabic language who wish to explore Arabic language, especially on the aspect of huruf al-ma‘ani. The objective of this study is to review ibn Hisham‟s endeavour to simplify learning of grammar, particularly through his study of the huruf al-ma‘ani aspect in his book Mughni al-Labib and its suitability as part of reference for Arabic specialization syllabus in Malaysian universities. This article is based on descriptive study of the methodology in Mughni al-Labib contained in the chapter relating to huruf al-ma‘ani. It is found that Ibn Hisham endeavoured to simplify learning of Arabic grammar through his study of Arabic huruf al-ma‘ani. It is hoped that the use of his book, Mughni al-Labib, as part of syllabus reference may benefit students, particularly those majoring in Arabic language in university.
