Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether the use of Islamic stories had a positive and significant influence on students’ reading comprehension. The main problem faced by students was their low ability to comprehend narrative texts, particularly in identifying main ideas and finding specific information due to limited vocabulary mastery. Therefore, this study examined how Islamic narrative texts influenced students’ reading comprehension.

This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. Data were collected through written tests consisting of a pre-test and post- test with 10 multiple-choice questions, supported by documentation. The data were analyzed using an independent samples t-test through SPSS version 26. The population of this study was all eighth-grade students, while the sample consisted of 68 students, including 36 students in the control class and 32 students in the experimental class, selected using a cluster random sampling technique.

The findings showed that students in the experimental class achieved higher reading comprehension after being taught using Islamic stories. The independent samples t-test result showed a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000, which was lower than 0.05. Thus, the alternative hypothesis was accepted. It can be concluded that the use of Islamic stories had a positive and significant influence on students’ reading comprehension of the eighth-grade at MTsN 1 East Lampung.
