The teaching of maharah istima’ (listening skills) serves as the primary foundation for Arabic language acquisition, particularly for students in pesantren-based higher education institutions. This article aims to comprehensively describe the instruction of maharah istima’ through a santri (Islamic boarding school student) character approach, utilizing Arabic-language videos embedded with Islamic values and ethics at Pesantren Sunan Drajat Lamongan. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method involving 27 third-semester students at Sunan Drajat University, Lamongan. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and instructional reflection. The results indicate that this approach is effective in enhancing maharah istima’ competence, enriching Arabic language mastery, and fostering students' religious, moral, and social character. These findings affirm that integrating Arabic language learning with santri character education is highly relevant for development in Islamic higher education.
