摘要：The findings of various studies on the Arabic writing skills of Malay students in Malaysia, whether in secondary school or tertiary education, have shown that these students face various problems in mastering this skill even if they have learned Arabic since primary school. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the students' proficiency level and the problems they face. To achieve this objective, a qualitative approach was adopted in which 22 previous research articles related to writing skills in particular and language skills in general were analysed using content analysis. The documents analysed were all articles published within the last ten (10) years. These articles were obtained from “Google Scholar” and “Dimensions” databases using 13 keywords: "masalah" [problem], "kesalahan" [error], "kelemahan" [weakness], "tahap" [level], "penguasaan" [mastery], "menulis" [write], "penulisan" [writing], "mengarang" [composing], "karangan" [composition], "insya" [composition], "ajar" [teach], "ayat" [sentence] and "asas" [basic] which relate to Arabic in Malaysia. The results showed that the majority of the study revealed that the students' Arabic writing is at an average and weak level, and the main problem they face is related to the lexical aspect, such as errors in choosing vocabulary based on sentence context, errors in using verbs as well as particles. Errors also occur in word and phrase construction, as well as sentence structure. These results show the importance of finding a solution to ensure that these two (2) main errors, namely lexical and sentence structure, can be overcome so that students are able to use accurate vocabulary when writing and construct good and correct Arabic sentences.
