Abstract

The fiqh (Islamic law) learning process using media among Islamic studies teachers at MAN 2 Mataram has huge implications for the quality of the learning process. Fiqh learning, especially on the topics of hajj and umrah as well as the treatment of the deceased, with media support, turns out to be exciting, and it accelerates and enhances students' understanding. Teachers of Islamic studies can explain hajj and umrah as well as bathing and praying the deceased through a demonstration using a miniature of Ka’bah and a doll representing a corpse, respectively. Students practice the lessons individually and in groups upon the teacher's demonstration. The process of Fiqh learning using media has an implication towards the increase of students understanding and their ability to memorize the lessons.
