Methods and Motivation of Al-Quran Memorization

Tahfiz institutions in Malaysia are increasing, whether individual, private, or government-aided. This shows that the community is becoming more aware of sending their children to tahfiz institutions to produce children who are professional huffaz (profaz), or religious people who could memorize the Al-Quran. This awareness has caused a lot of beneficial impacts, and the government itself is now introducing a comprehensive curriculum for tahfiz institutions known as the Integrated Tahfiz Curriculum. This curriculum is being used and inculcated in government-aided schools that are selected by the Islamic Education Department. However, some action or approach must be taken to overcome student dropouts based on the standards set by the curriculum. Therefore, this paper aims to explore suitable methods and approaches that can be practiced by the tahfiz institutions to accommodate the process and motivate the students better. The technique of analysing documents will be applied instead of field studies. It is hoped that by reviewing these techniques, tahfiz institutions and students will be more motivated, as they are relatively and closely related.
