Implementation of this strategy consistently contributes to improving learning outcomes, strengthening Islamic values, and developing student character. These findings contribute to further understanding of strategic management in improving the quality of education through the tahfidz Al-Qur'an program. The practical implications of this research can be used as a reference for educational institutions in designing policies and implementing effective management strategies to achieve excellence in Islamic education.
