This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using an Arabic dictionary in enhancing the vocabulary of students at SMK Tarbiyatus Salafiyah Pesawahan Tiris Probolinggo. The main focus of this research is to identify the factors influencing the use of dictionaries in vocabulary acquisition and the impacts resulting from their use. The research problem formulation includes identifying the supporting and inhibiting factors in dictionary utilization and analyzing the effects of dictionary use on students’ vocabulary mastery.

Speed reading is an essential skill in modern education, requiring students to quickly and effectively comprehend information. This study aims to examine innovative and effective strategies for developing students' speed reading abilities in the era of modern learning. The research method used is library research, involving an extensive review of books, scholarly journals, and previous studies relevant to speed reading instruction.

As a literary genre with its own appeal, short stories (qishshah qashirah) and poetry (shi'r) offer a unique and beneficial reading experience for students. However, learning to read Arabic literary texts often presents various challenges. This study aims to analyze in depth the reading skills of Arabic literary texts, specifically short stories and poetry, at Madrasah Aliyah. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, which aims to observe and describe events, phenomena, attitudes, social activities, perceptions, beliefs, and thoughts of individuals or groups. Data collection is conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique follows the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students' ability to read Arabic literary texts, both short stories and poetry, remains relatively low. Several internal and external factors influence this ability, including limited vocabulary (mufradat), which causes students to struggle in understanding texts, frequently pause, guess word meanings, or even give up entirely. Additionally, weak proficiency in Arabic grammar (nahwu and sharaf) further hinders their comprehension of sentence structures in literary texts. To address these challenges, three strategies can be implemented by educators to enhance students' reading skills: utilizing diverse learning media, selecting engaging and relevant themes, and providing a variety of reading resources.

The aim of this research is to get a clear picture of the meaning of each tradition that is still carried out by the Al-Ikhlas prayer room in Kasemen until now.  The explanation of this research is to describe the meaning and motive for implementing Qunutan in the Al-ikhlas prayer room. This research uses functional structure research methods.  The results of this research show the meaning of the Qunutan tradition in the Al Ikhlas prayer room, namely as a very special form of time to pray and ask for forgiveness and blessings from Allah SWT.  Qunut in the month of Ramadan is usually related to prayers performed on the night of Lailatul Qadar, one of the most special nights in the month of Ramadan, as it involves participation in joint religious activities such as evening prayers, reading the Koran, and praying.  Many people also do good deeds, such as giving alms or doing good to others, and guidance from Allah.  During the last 10 nights of Ramadan, especially in searching for Laylatul Qadar, the Kasemen people often strengthen the practice of qunut as part of their intensive worship.  The practice of qunut in the month of Ramadan is an important part of Muslims’ efforts to get closer to Allah and obtain blessings in the holy month of Ramadan which is considered full of grace.

Based on observations made at MTs Madrasatul Qur'an Salafiyah in class VII, student interest in mathematical literacy is low, with a percentage of student interest reaching only 45%. This is due to the implementation of learning that is limited to textbooks and situations in the classroom, which makes students quickly feel bored when reading because the material read is dominated by text. This study aims to determine and explain the effect of using Nearpod media in increasing student interest in mathematical literacy at MTs Madrasatul Qur'an Salafiyah. The population studied included all VII class students totaling 74 people, with the sampling technique using saturated sampling. This research is classified as classroom action research (PTK) with data collection techniques through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The instruments used in this study consisted of questionnaires and observation sheets. The data obtained from the research were then analyzed with a quantitative descriptive approach. The results showed an increase in interest in mathematical literacy through the use of poster media identified in cycle I and cycle II. In cycle I, students' interest in mathematical literacy reached 65%, while in cycle II it increased to 90%. This shows that the use of Nearpod media successfully increased students' interest in mathematical literacy.

The Society 5.0 era integrates digital technology with human values to create a human-centered society that addresses social issues, enhances quality of life, and promotes sustainability. Digital literacy and multidimensional skills are crucial in education to prepare students for global challenges. Strengthening literacy in reading, numeracy, science, finance, digital competence, and citizenship is key to adaptation and progress. However, literacy levels in Indonesia, including at MTs Negeri 1 Kota Prabumulih, require improvement to foster critical thinking and knowledge application. Based on multiliteracy and multidimensional theories, literacy development extends beyond text comprehension to include interactions with cultural, social, and technological contexts for meaningful learning. This qualitative study with a phenomenological approach explores students' literacy levels, relevant literacy concepts for Society 5.0, the integration of Islamic Education (PAI) values with literacy, and how PAI supports literacy enhancement at MTs Negeri 1 Kota Prabumulih. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results indicate that students' literacy levels remain moderate, requiring enhancement. Literacy integration with PAI is evident in thematic approaches, linking zakat to financial literacy and Qur'anic verses to science. However, optimizing facilities, teacher training, and project-based learning is necessary for stronger literacy development.
