Application of the Talaqqi Method to Improve Qur'an Memorization at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Surakarta

Abstract

This study examines how the talaqqi technique is used in SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Surakarta to improve the memorization of the Qur'an. The talaqqi technique guarantees that the recitation is in accordance with tajweed standards, improves memory to memorize the Qur'an, and allows students to learn directly under the direction of their teacher. Data were collected using qualitative phenomenological methods through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings of the study show that the talaqqi approach has been used for five years and has succeeded in improving the quality and volume of students' memorization. In addition, students' memorization before the Tahfidz exam is strengthened by the Memorization Quarantine Program (Mabit). However, there are several obstacles in the implementation of this method, such as the consistency of memorization and mastery of tajweed that still need to be improved. The conclusion of this study shows that the talaqqi approach can improve the quality of students' worship in addition to their memorization skills. To improve the effectiveness of learning, a more methodical approach to tahfidz learning must be created. It is hoped that Islamic educational institutions can use the findings of this research as a guide to maximize the teaching of the Qur'an.
