Abstract

The correct pronunciation of Arabic letters, also known as Makhraj, is crucial to Quranic reading rules. For many years, researchers have debated the impact of native languages on the articulation of the Arabic alphabet's phonetic aspects. Since the Quran is written in Arabic, mastering the Makhraj of Hijaiyyah consonants is essential to produce clear sound and precise meaning when reading the Quran. This study aims to establish a Hijaiyyah consonant designation pattern based on the characteristics of articulation fluency, consonants, and phonetic nature of the Malay tongue for Quranic teaching and learning. Content analysis was used to develop a thematic approach to the pronunciation fluency of letters, categorized into three levels: easy, intermediate, and advanced. The letter classification system serves as a guide for teachers and researchers in Arabic language teaching and Quranic education.
