Abstract
It is known that proverbs have existed for a long time, but today researchers have identified many proverbs, especially those that use animal symbolism, and these proverbs are being republished on social media. This study aims to analyze the meanings and origins of these proverbs so that we can understand the context of their current use on social media. The research was conducted using a qualitative method with an in-depth semantic approach. Data were collected through social media research techniques, drawing from YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. The findings indicate that animal symbols in Arabic proverbs contain both negative and positive elements. The use of animal symbolism in Arabic proverbs on social media is mostly intended to offer advice, while others depict human behavior in contexts such as satire, criticism, praise, and mockery.

Bahasa Abstract
Diketahui bahwa peribahasa telah muncul sejak lama, tetapi saat ini para peneliti telah menemukan banyak peribahasa, terutama yang menggunakan simbol hewan, dan peribahasa tersebut dipublikasikan ulang di media sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis makna dan asal-usul peribahasa tersebut sehingga kita dapat memahami konteks penggunaannya saat ini di media sosial. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan semantik yang mendalam. Data diperoleh dengan menggunakan teknik riset media sosial yang bersumber dari YouTube, Facebook, dan Instagram. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa simbol hewan dalam peribahasa Arab mengandung unsur negatif dan positif. Adapun penggunaan simbol hewan dalam peribahasa Arab di media sosial, sebagian besar dimaksudkan untuk memberikan nasihat, dan sebagian lainnya juga menggambarkan perilaku manusia, konteks satir, teguran, pujian, dan ejekan.
