Student engagement remains a persistent challenge in Arabic language learning, particularly when traditional textbooks fail to capture learners’ interest and sustain motivation. In response, Kaifa Haluka (KH), a bilingual comic series, was developed as an innovative pedagogical tool to foster a more interactive and meaningful learning experience. KH incorporates QR codes, video elements, visual illustrations, Arabic dialogue transcriptions, and vocabulary support to enhance accessibility and learner participation. This innovation has received academic and commercial recognition through conference presentations, journal publications, and intellectual property registrations. The distinctiveness of KH lies not only in its integration of technology but also in its ability to revitalize the teaching and learning process through an engaging and interactive format. Research findings indicate that KH positively contributes to students’ Arabic language achievement, while feedback from UiTM Kelantan students reflects strong acceptance of KH as an effective educational resource. Overall, KH demonstrates considerable potential to transform Arabic language education by enhancing student engagement, improving learning outcomes, and fostering sustained interest in the language.
