Preliminary Study of Hafazan Methods for Diploma Level Students at Tahfiz Study Institutions

Memorizing the Quran is an act of worship and one of the processes of interacting with the Quran. It has begun to gain a place in today’s educational institutions. It is implemented with various methods by referring to their respective learning methods. However, different methods of memorizing the Quran affect students’ memorization achievement. The study examined what memorization methods are often implemented in Tahfiz institutions and what is often practised by students. The initial study was conducted on 33 Diploma Tahfiz al-Quran wal Qiraat program students at the Islamic University of Melaka. The study analysis was conducted based on the analysis of previous studies and descriptive analysis by studying the mean frequency based on SPSS version 23 software. The study found that the methods implemented by the students in memorizing the Quran were at a high level, with an overall mean of 3.79. The tasmik memorization method in front of the teacher and the method of memorizing using the same manuscript showed the highest mean, recorded at 4.58 and 4.33 respectively. The study hopes that the memorization methods in tahfiz institutions are diversified to achieve better performance levels.
