Management of the Habit of Reading the Qur'an as an Effective Memorization Strategy for Tahfidz Class Students at Madrasahs

Abstract

This study examines the management of the habit of reading the Qur’an as an effective strategy to enhance memorization among students in Tahfidz classes at madrasahs. The habit of regular Qur’anic reading is considered a fundamental component in strengthening memorization quality, fluency, and retention. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach to explore planning, implementation, and evaluation processes related to the management of Qur’an reading habits. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers and school leaders, observations of learning activities, and documentation analysis of Tahfidz programs. The findings indicate that effective management of Qur’an reading habits involves structured scheduling, consistent supervision by teachers, integration of reading activities with memorization targets, and the use of motivational and spiritual reinforcement. These practices contribute to improved memorization accuracy, stronger discipline, and increased student engagement in Tahfidz learning. Furthermore, continuous evaluation and collaboration between teachers, students, and parents play a significant role in sustaining the effectiveness of the program. This study concludes that the management of Qur’an reading habits serves as a strategic foundation for improving memorization outcomes in Tahfidz classes and can be adopted as a model for Qur’anic learning management in madrasahs.
