Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between Arabic Pegon literacy and comprehension of the Qotrul Ghaits text in Arabic language learning among tenth-grade students at MAN 1 Kota Gorontalo. The research employed a quantitative non-experimental correlational design. The population consisted of 120 students, with 60 participants selected using proportional random sampling. The instruments included a 20-item Arabic Pegon literacy test and a 25-item Qotrul Ghaits comprehension test, both validated by experts and tested for reliability, yielding Cronbach's Alpha values of 0.87 and 0.89, respectively. Data were analyzed using normality, linearity, Pearson Product–Moment correlation, and determination coefficient (R²) tests via SPSS version 25. The results revealed a positive and significant correlation between Pegon literacy and text comprehension, with r = 0.712 and p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). The determination coefficient R² = 0.507 indicates that Pegon literacy accounts for 50.7% of the variation in text comprehension. These findings confirm that higher Pegon literacy skills are associated with better understanding of classical religious texts written in Pegon script. The study fills a gap in previous research, which has rarely examined the empirical relationship between Pegon literacy and comprehension in modern Islamic education contexts. It recommends integrating Pegon literacy systematically into Arabic language curricula in madrasahs to strengthen religious literacy, preserve the intellectual heritage of Islamic Nusantara, and enhance students' comprehension of classical Arabic texts.
