However, the students' interest in learning was high and this was responded well by the Arabic language lecturers by making efforts and breakthroughs to achieve learning objectives. Second; The process of contextualizing the verses of the Qur'an goes through two stages: the first stage; teaching material design and determination of selected verses.
