The Implementation of the Sorogan Method in Teaching the Kitab Fatkhul Qorib to Alfiyah Awal Students at Pondok Pesantren Nurul Anwar Metro

Abstract

The application of the sorogan method in kitab kuning learning plays a crucial role in deepening students’ understanding of Islamic teachings within traditional Islamic boarding schools. At Pondok Pesantren Nurul Anwar, Kota Metro, the method is implemented especially for students in the Alfiyah Awal class to develop their ability to read and comprehend classical fiqh texts, particularly Fatkhul Qorib. As a foundational fiqh book widely used in pesantren, Fatkhul Qorib provides essential principles of Islamic law relevant to daily life, making it a central focus of the sorogan learning process. This study investigates how the sorogan method is implemented in the teaching of Fatkhul Qorib for Alfiyah Awal students at Pondok Pesantren Nurul Anwar. The research aims to describe the learning process and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing its effectiveness. Using a qualitative field research approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Triangulation techniques were used to ensure data validity from multiple perspectives. The findings indicate that the implementation of the sorogan method begins with prayer and the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah, followed by turn-taking reading sessions. This method encourages personalized learning, strengthens students’ comprehension, and enhances mastery of the text. Supporting factors include the dedication of instructors and students’ enthusiasm, while inhibiting factors involve dependence on translated texts and a lack of seriousness among some students.
