| description | Although Huffaz (those who memorize the entire Qur’an) in Indonesia are certified to have memorized the whole Quran upon graduation, the
majority are not able to fully interpret (Tafsir) its meaning. This could be related
to the methods applied for memorizing the Text. This study aimed to identify
the most common method used by respondents in memorizing the Qur’an, to
analyze the differences in the examination scores for Qur’an memorization
based on gender, to examine the relationships between respondents’ score for
Tafsir and Qur’an memorization. Respondents were students at Ma’had Tahfiz
Al-Qur’an at Prenduan Indonesia. A questionnaire survey was employed for
data collection. Besides that, the examination scores for Qur’an memorization
(Tahfiz) and for Tafsir were also collected and analyzed to address the second
and third research questions. Descriptive analyses, independent sample t-test
and Pearson correlation were conducted to support evidences. Findings showed
that four memorization techniques: Wahdah, Kitabah, Sima’i, and Jama’ were
applied by respondents, the most common method being the Wahdah method.
The study found a significant difference in the examination scores for Qur’an
memorization between male and female respondents. It also found that the
relationship between respondents’ scores for Tafsir and scores for Qur’an
memorization is statistically significant. The study concludes that by studying
Tafsir, Huffaz could improve the understanding of the Qur’an which should be
the ultimate aim in memorizing the text. Huffaz should not only expect to gain
rewards while reciting the Qur’an but to be able to apply the teachings from the
revelation in daily life. |
