The Alfiyah is a famous thousand-verse poem on Arabic grammar and morphology written by Ibn Malik in the 13th century. In Indonesia and elsewhere, its verses, known as Nadhom Alfiyah, are traditionally memorized by santri in pesantren through communal singing, each region adding its own melody. Recordings of that chant now circulate widely on TikTok and WhatsApp, where short excerpts go viral among students. The clip remains popular because the rhyme and melody turn difficult rules into something memorable, linking modern creators back to centuries of classroom practice.
