Peningkatan Taḥsîn al-Qur’ân melalui Hafalan Kitab Tuhfat Al-Athfal di TPQ. Assalafiyah, Darul Furqon, dan Himmatul Qur’an Probolinggo

Abstract

The obligation to learn proper Quranic recitation (taḥsīn al-Qur'ān) according to Tajweed rules applies to all Muslims. However, many still struggle to read the Qur'an correctly. The main challenges faced by taḥsīn al-Qur'ān learners include understanding recitation rules, memorizing Tajweed laws, and correctly applying makhraj and ṣifat of letters. These difficulties are also experienced by students at TPQ Assalafiyah, Darul Furqon, and Himmatul Qur’an in Alastengah Village. This community service program applies the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach to enhance students' taḥsīn al-Qur'ān skills through learning based on the Tuhfatul Athfal Tajweed book. The program actively involves students, teachers, and facilitators in problem identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The methods include repetitive memorization of nazam (drilling), recitation demonstrations, and classical exercises over one week. Evaluation follows Bloom’s Taxonomy, covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. The results indicate that the participatory approach using PAR effectively improves students’ understanding and skills in taḥsīn al-Qur'ān. Students find it easier to comprehend Tajweed rules, recognize makhraj and ṣifat of letters, and apply them correctly in Quranic recitation. Thus, this method serves as an effective alternative for enhancing Quranic learning quality in TPQ settings.
