The Role of Nonverbal Communication in the Hadith of Jibril: Effective Arabic Language Teaching Strategies for Non-Native Speakers

Nonverbal communication plays an important role in the teaching process, especially in the teaching of Arabic to non-native speakers. The Hadith of Jibril, which recounts the interaction between Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Angel Jibril, provides a classic example of how nonverbal communication supports verbal messages. This article analyzes the nonverbal elements in the Hadith of Jibril, such as body posture, hand gestures, and nonverbal affirmation, and links these elements to pedagogical practices in Arabic language teaching. This study uses a content analysis approach, referencing nonverbal communication theories by Mehrabian, Argyle, and Hall. The results of the study show that nonverbal communication plays a role in reinforcing students’ understanding and enhancing the effectiveness of teaching. The article also provides practical guidelines for applying nonverbal communication elements in the teaching of Arabic to non-native speakers.
