Don t envy someone on a blessing, because you don t know what Allah took from him.
Be obedient to Allah in everything. If others don t like it, then let them be. Life is not about
pleasing everybody.
Zero is where everything starts. Nothing would ever be born if we didn t depart from there.
-Shinichi KudouLife is limited. That s why it s so precious. Since there s a limit, we try our best to live.
-Hattori HeijiYou are going to regret it, if you underestimate girls. Yusaku Kudou-

In the name Allah, the Most Beneficent and the Most Merciful. No God but Allah
and Muhammad is His Prophet. I proudly dedicate this thesis to my beloved
parents, Kuwatno, S.Pd and Herlina, S.Pd who always love me unconditionally
and who always inspire me. This thesis is also dedicated for my brother, Rinaldi
Ihza Kurnia. Thank you for your support and your everlasting love.

mercy and the strength so that I could finish this thesis. Invocation and peace go
to Muhammad SAW, his families and his disciples.
I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Jamilah, M.Pd., for
her guidance, advice, patience and valuable knowledge. Additionally, I thank all
my lecturers for the useful knowledge during my study in Yogyakarta State
University.
I greatly appreciate all the members of MTS N Ngemplak, particularly Mr.
Subono Walubina and Grade VIII D students for the help and the cooperation
during the research.
Furthermore, the deepest thank is also forwarded to my beloved family,
particularly my father, Kuwatno, my mother, Herlina, and my brother, Aldi.
I also thank all my friends in Class A 2011 English Department of UNY
for their assistance especially Intan, Aprilia Dewi, Sinta, Gumelar, Marlin, Titin,
Dwi, and Anis.
Finally, I realize that this thesis is still far from being perfect. Therefore,
criticism and suggestions for the improvement of this thesis are greatly
