Penguatan Literasi Al-Qur’an melalui Pendampingan Baca Tulis Berbasis Metode Tilawati di Madin Ghozali Porong Sidoarjo

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to strengthen Qur’anic literacy among students at Madrasah Tarbiyah Al Ghozali, Porong, Sidoarjo, through Qur’an reading and writing assistance based on the Tilawati method. The activity was motivated by differences in students’ abilities in recognizing makhārij al-ḥurūf, applying basic tajwid rules, distinguishing reading lengths, recognizing punctuation marks, writing Arabic letters, and connecting letters into words and sentences. The program was implemented through five stages: problem identification, program planning, assistance implementation, evaluation, and reflection and follow-up. The assistance integrated classical learning, individual reading-listening sessions, imlā’ exercises, Arabic letter connection practices, and peer learning involving senior students. Evaluation was conducted through initial and final assessments covering seven aspects of Qur’anic literacy: makhārij al-ḥurūf, tajwid, reading length, fluency, punctuation recognition, imlā’, and Arabic letter connection. The results indicated an improvement in students’ overall abilities, with the average score increasing from 60.71 to 82.17. The normalized gain (N-Gain) score of 0.55 indicated a moderate level of improvement. In addition to competency development, the activity encouraged greater learning participation, responsibility, and peer support among students. Therefore, the integration of the Tilawati method with imlā’, individual reading-listening, and peer learning can serve as a relevant model for strengthening integrated Qur’anic reading and writing literacy in Islamic non-formal education institutions.
