Therefore, this study describes the composition of maharah al-kitabah contained in Arabic textbooks for class VIII MTs, and its role in the development of language skills. The method used in this research is descriptive analysis method, through literature review using a book by Ibrahim Al-Fauzan entitled I'dad Mawad Ta'lim Al-Lughah Al- 'Arabiyah Lighairi An-Nathiqin Biha.
