History

From a historical perspective, language and Arabic culture have been known since the arrival of Islam to Nusantara, that means long before Indonesian independence, Arabic was already known by indigenous people. If the relationship between Arabic and Islam in the archipelago is traced, the culture of Arabic has a great influence on people's lives and the culture of Islam in the Nusantara, for example in terms of the language used in everyday society.[1]

The development of the Arabic language occurred due to the stopover of Arab trade caravans and Persians in Indonesia for a long period of time. It is known that Arabic language and literature are thought to have existed in this archipelago since the early 7th–8th centuries AD and began to develop rapidly in the 9th–12th centuries AD (this theory is supported by Hamka, Van Leur, and T.W. Arnod).[1]

Usages

This language is generally used in places of Islamic education or Islamic boarding schools and villages inhabited by people of Arab descent or called Kampung Arab.[3][4]
