PERSEPSI SISWA TERHADAP MAKNA PROGRAM TAHFIDZ : STUDI KASUS DI MI TARBIYATUNNASYIIN 2

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the meaning of the tahfidz program on
students' perceptions, its impact on learning life, discipline, and character building,
as well as the factors that influence students' interpretation of the tahfidz program
at MI Tarbiyatunnasiyyin 2 Jombang. The tahfidz program is positioned as a priority
initiative in schools targeted at mastering Al-Qur'an memorization, especially in juz
30. The implementation of this program places great emphasis on aspects of
pronunciation fluency, accuracy of makharijul huruf, and consistent application of
tajwid rules. In examining this phenomenon, this study uses a qualitative method
through a case study design. The researcher collected primary data through direct
interaction in the form of semi-structured interviews and observations, and
strengthened by documentation as supplementary data. The main sources in this
study include the principal and students participating in the program, supported by
internal madrasah archives as secondary data. Data analysis was carried out
following the Miles and Huberman framework which includes reduction,
condensation, and final inference. In addition, the validity aspect of the findings was
ensured through triangulation procedures, both technically and through sources.
Research findings indicate that students internalize the tahfidz program through two
main perspectives: as a mandatory academic regulation and as a manifestation of
spiritual devotion to increase piety. This program has been proven to contribute
positively to Quranic literacy, memorization skills, and strengthening the values of
discipline and religious character. Furthermore, the routine of muroja'ah (recitation)
and memorization (memorization) plays an important role in training focus, time
management, and a more systematic learning drive. Challenges faced by students
include difficulty memorizing long verses, verses with similar wording, and limited
time for muroja'ah. The tahfidz program at MI Tarbiyatunnasiyyin 2 serves not only
as a Quranic memorization activity, but also as a place to educate moral education
that shapes students into religious, disciplined, and responsible individual
