Assistance in the Al-Miftakh Method as an Effort to Improve Religious Text Reading Skills at Garanggung Islamic Boarding School Karawang Regency

Abstract

This community service program focuses on the implementation and impact of the Al-Miftakh method in enhancing the ability to read religious texts at Garunggung Islamic Boarding School in Karawang Regency. The Al-Miftakh method is a structured approach aimed at improving the reading proficiency of religious texts by providing a systematic and practical framework for learning. The program seeks to enhance the santris' skills in reading classical Islamic texts, enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of both content and context. The community service involved a series of workshops and hands-on training sessions where santri were systematically guided through the Al-Miftakh method. The sessions were followed by assessments to evaluate their progress. The results indicated that the Al-Miftakh method significantly improved reading fluency and comprehension among the participants. Out of 85 students involved in the program, 89% reported an improvement in their skills based on post-training surveys. This program concludes that structured reading methods like the Al-Miftakh method are highly effective in contributing to the educational development of santri in Islamic boarding schools, offering them valuable tools to better understand religious texts.
