Strategy for Developing the Tahfidz Al-Qur’an Program to Improve Students’ Non-Academic Achievement (a Case Study at Madrasah Aliyah Sabilul Muttaqin Pungging Mojokerto)

Abstract

The Tahfidz Al-Qur’an program at Madrasah Aliyah plays a strategic role in shaping character and improving students’ non-academic achievements, such as discipline, responsibility, and perseverance. While the program’s primary goal is to memorize and understand the Qur’an, its benefits extend beyond spiritual aspects. The Tahfidz program not only hones religious capabilities but also develops essential life skills that support non-academic achievements, such as leadership, teamwork, and adaptability in social environments. This study aims to analyze the strategies for developing the Tahfidz Al-Qur’an program at Madrasah Aliyah Sabilul Muttaqin, Pungging, Mojokerto, and its impact on students’ non-academic achievements. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving program instructors, Tahfidz participants, and the school principal. The findings of the study show that the development strategies include planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. Development activities are conducted by forming Tahfidz groups, providing intensive supervision, and awarding incentives to motivate students. As a result, students demonstrate improvements in discipline, self-confidence, and organizational skills. In conclusion, the Tahfidz Al-Qur’an program not only strengthens religious values but also significantly contributes to enhancing students’ non-academic achievements.
