Introduction
Arabic is a very important language for Muslims. This is because every Muslim worship uses Arabic. Because of this, Muslims should learn the Qur'an from an early age. Usually, Arabic is learned by children who have a strong grasp and memory. This is because the Arabic language material is so extensive. However, this is different from the program created by the Community Service Team from the Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam As-Sunnah which was carried out in the city of Tebing Tinggi where Arabic lessons were not taught to children but to parents who lived around the Masjid Imam Syafii and them who lives outside the city of high cliffs. The program aims to introduce Arabic to parents so that the language can be known by everyone, both parents and children. Arabic in Indonesia has a central position that has a major influence on the social order of people's lives. Arabic and the spread of Islam entered and developed in Indonesia in the 13th century through the preachers from Gujarat. 1 Moeliono revealed that Arabic is a language with a special purpose in Indonesia because many expressions derived from Arabic are absorbed into the standard Indonesian language, especially in terms of worship. 2 As the judge said, customs, pulpit, gifts, prayers, health, obedience, and so on. In this regard, Arabic in Indonesia has become one of the compulsory subjects in various educational institutions, especially Islamic educational institutions such as Islamic Boarding Schools. In fact, in 2008, the Minister of Religion published the official objectives of learning Arabic, which is to encourage, guide, develop, and foster abilities and foster a positive attitude towards Arabic both repressively and productively. Comprehensive learning objectives have not been fully realized in the majority of Indonesian educational institutions. Many Arabic educators complain about the difficulty of teaching Arabic to students, both for repressive purposes, let alone productive ones. 3 Arabic learning today has undergone many developments as evidenced by Arabic learning in Indonesia, which has started from early childhood education to college. The existence of Arabic language learning in schools, colleges, and other Islamic educational institutions shows the seriousness of advancing the system and its quality. Arabic learning aims to understand the sciences written in Arabic or understand and master language skills, which consist of listening (Istima'), reading (Qira'ah), speaking (Kalam), and writing (Kitabah). Learning Arabic is learning a foreign language that has not been known by students since childhood. Although learning Arabic as a foreign language, has various principles. Among them is the principle of similarity with the mother tongue. This will influence the ease of learning a foreign language. However, there are also differences between the mother tongue and foreign languages that cause difficulties in learning Arabic. Arabic book Arabiyah Baina Yadaik has a very important role in teaching and learning Arabic because this book is a representative learning resource. This can have an impact on the learning outcomes that take place. The presentation of Arabiyah Baina Yadaik teaching materials is not only sufficient verbally, but the teacher must be able to present the teaching media contained in the book correctly and appropriately and effectively, and fun for students. People not only memorize but are also more communicative. People are not satisfied with teaching methodologies that emphasize rote memorization. Instead, they prefer a communicative approach where they can verbally apply what they have learned, corrected, and improved. 4 Many methods are used in teaching Arabic. One method that can be applied is the Hypnoteaching method. The Hypnoteaching method meets the requirements as a new method of learning Arabic. This is one of the innovations in Arabic learning methods that can be used today. Because this method maximizes one's subconscious, learning can achieve maximum results with fun learning. 5 Therefore, teachers should master how to use Arabic learning methods well and apply Arabiyah Baina Yadaik textbooks in the learning process.

This is in contrast to the traditional approach that has so far focused on community problems and needs. Therefore, ABCD is an approach that starts from everything in the community as a positive asset or asset. 10 In simple terms, assistance with the ABCD method begins with an Appreciative Inquiry revealing the potential possessed by the community.

(2) Arabic language learning directs participants to communication skills and insights related to Arabic culture from various sides such as knowledge of Arabic, Islamic and other cultures that do not conflict with Islamic values.
(3) Arabiyah Baina Yadaik is one of the books that have a flexible character because it can be used in general for both adult and adolescent students who are taught intensively or periodically. Even this book can also be taught to beginners who have never studied Arabic. In addition, this book can be presented in stages from zero to being able to communicate like a native Arabic speaker both orally and in writing, even being able to continue Arabic education at an Arabic language college. This book has a large number of volumes including Arabic letters, student books consisting of (1) two volumes and a teacher's handbook for the beginner class, (2) two volumes and a teacher's handbook for the middle class, student books, (3 ) Two volumes along with a teacher's handbook for advanced classes, student books, and (4) Two volumes and a teacher's handbook for special classes, Arabiyah Baina Yadaik dictionary, CD recorded text of Arabiyah Baina Yadaik subject matter.

This program is implemented considering the importance of learning the Koran for survival. This is because all the instructions for life are in the Qur'an. Moreover, considering the times that are increasingly sophisticated with their luxury, we must fortify ourselves with the Qur'an. This means that with an increasingly sophisticated life, we are still guided by the Qur'an. Qur'an learning activities are also related to learning Arabic because the contents of the Qur'an are in Arabic. So to understand the Qur'an, you must use Arabic. This is so important that the study of the Qur'an is held. The initial activity of learning the Koran is learning to read the Qur'an.

The results of community service activities, it has a good impact on the people who live around the Masjid Imam Syafii and those outside the area due to the Arabic language learning training activities designed and carried out by the Community Service Team. People who come from the Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam As-Sunnah Deli Serdang. The positive impact that can be felt is the increase in the knowledge of the training participants regarding the use of the Arabiyah Baina Yadaik book as teaching material. Then participants also gain an increased understanding of the Arabic language itself. However, despite the many positive benefits, there are also problems in the form of a lack of time for carrying out activities carried out at dawn where not everyone can participate at that time, then participants from outside the area who have to travel long distances, then participants who are old. In general, Arabic learning training using the Arabiyah Baina Yadaik book is very suitable to be applied in other areas for Arabic language development by taking into account the implementation schedule and the readiness of the presenters.

Conclusion
Based on the results of the evaluation, it shows that the community service activities carried out in the form of this training are as follows: (1) This training activity is in great demand by participants, especially from the community among parents. This is evidence that this training activity received a response from the wider community.

(3) The speaker in delivering the material always invites participants to be deeply involved, so that their understanding and knowledge of Arabic learning training can be completed, the position of teaching materials and the use of Arabiyah Baina Yadaik teaching materials in the Arabic learning process can be implemented properly. (4) The presentation of material that is so straightforward by the minister also makes the participants understand more. (5) The readiness of the participants can be said to be sufficient in participating in this learning training from a physical and spiritual perspective, although the participants are said to be elderly, they are still enthusiastic about participating in the training activities.
Based on the results of the evaluation, several notes become suggestions for community service activities in the future, namely: The number of enthusiasts for this activity, although it runs enthusiastically, is still quite lacking, there must also be internal factors that must make the congregation want to follow and be motivated and time the implementation is short because it is carried out in the month of Ramadan where the community asks that the implementation time does not last long and also wants to focus on other practices such as reading the Qur'an especially, it is necessary to hold similar activities in the future with the maximum allocation of time so that the implementation of activities is truly completed, and students do not have their books. Only a few people had books, the rest used books available from the Masjid, and some we brought from home. It is also one of the difficulties in teaching and the difficulty of understanding learning for students because the media is not fulfilled.
