Study of the influence of Halaqoh Tahfidz on learning motivation: A Case in Islamic Junior High School Al-Ghuroba, Sorong

Abstract

The Qur'an is the greatest miracle given by Allah SWT to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The Qur'an is also the main source of Islamic teachings and a guide to life for every Muslim. There are various ways to interact with it, such as reading it, studying the laws of reading it, contemplating it, memorizing it, studying its interpretation and teaching it because all of that is considered worship. However, nowadays, there are few teenagers who are interested in studying the Qur'an. They prefer to splurge, spend their time on useless things and this affects their enthusiasm for learning. After seeing the problems above, the tahfidz halaqoh is expected to be a means to get closer to the Qur'an again and to increase students' enthusiasm for learning. The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical data and valid and reliable facts about whether there is an influence of the tahfidz halaqoh at the beginning of learning in increasing the enthusiasm for learning of class VIII students at the Islamic Junior High School (IJHS) Al-Ghuroba, Sorong Regency, West Papua.
