FDI Students learn the use of maktabah syamilah
Rectorate, UIN News Online – New students of the Faculty of Dirasat Islamiyah (FDI) UIN Jakarta held training on the use of the Maktabah Syamilah. This is done so that new students can understand how to find references from various books of Ulumul Hadith, Syarh Hadith, Tafsir al-Quran, Ulum al-Quran, and others.
The training activity which lasted a full day, Wednesday (09/08/2021), was initiated by the Research and Development Division of DEMA FDI. This virtual training presented Chair of the Daarus-Sunnah Mahasantri Association as well as a teacher of Arabic and Al-Quran at a number of institutions Dhia al-Rahman as resource person.
In the training, Rahman first introduced the Maktabah Syamilah software itself, including its functions and how to use the software. Rahman also explained about the use of the software in finding references from various fields of Islamic scholarship such as Fiqh, Usul Fiqh, Tafsir, Ulum al-Qur'an, Ulum al-Hadith and Syarah Hadith.
Furthermore, Rahman also explained how to import-export various updated books. Finally, he also explained the model of writing footnotes and bibliography of a scientific paper using the Maktabah Syamilah software.
The day before, Tuesday (09/07/2021) hundreds of new FDI students also attended writing Arabic papers training. The Coordinator of the Research and Development Division of DEMA FDI Eva Marpu'ah said that this activity was carried out to introduce how to write papers using Arabic.
“The thing that new students often worry about is how to write papers in Arabic. As is well known, the teaching and learning process at FDI UIN Jakarta uses Arabic, so students need related skills,” said Eva.
The resource person for the training was an alumnus of FDI, Budi Andrianto, who was recorded as having the best thesis writing achievement. In his presentation, Budi encouraged new students to first learn to love Arabic so they are motivated to continue learning it.
Budi also added that another thing that is needed is to strengthen the commitment to learning to write in Arabic. While the structure of the paper itself is no different from scientific papers in general. (usa/fdi/zm)
