The lack of well structured Arabic language planning in several Islamic educational institutions has led to fragmented learning and minimal real-world application of the language. This study had the urgency to explore the deeper causes of this issue and analyze how intentional language policy which is thoughtfully implemented can improve learners’ Arabic proficiency, connect language use to Islamic studies, and build a more immersive educational environment.

The findings provided a model that other Islamic institutions can adapt to develop clearer language goals, strengthen
