MENUMBUHKAN CINTA AL QUR'AN KEPADA PESERTA DIDIK MELALUI PROGRAM TAHFIDZ

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the tahfidz program in fostering a love for the Qur'an among students in an Islamic educational environment. Love for the Qur'an is a fundamental component in developing good Muslim character, encompassing understanding, practice, and a deep love for the holy book. The tahfidz program, as a means of religious education, serves to bring students closer to the Qur'an through memorization and contemplation of verses. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method at RTQ Aflaha. Data were obtained from in-depth interviews with teachers, students, and program holders, as well as observations of the implementation of tahfidz activities and document analysis. Through data analysis techniques including data reduction, data presentation, and verification, this study seeks to holistically dissect the phenomenon of students' spirituality. The results of the study have shown that a tahfidz program that is implemented routinely and well integrated into Islamic educational management can have a significant influence on increasing students' love for the Qur'an. Factors such as innovative teaching methods, encouragement from the school and family environment, and teacher skills are factors in the program's success.  Teachers at RTQ Aflaha play an active role in guiding and correcting tajwid (Quran recitation), while also providing much-needed motivation for students to maintain consistent memorization. However, there are challenges, including limited time and student motivation, that must be overcome. The management addresses these challenges by providing regular appreciation, personal guidance, and structured schedule management for students. Therefore, the tahfidz program is an effective way to foster positive relationships with students through the Quran, which contributes to improving their spirituality and morals.
