To obtain a character who adheres to the Al-Quran in everyday life, students need to get used to it from an early age or it cannot be achieved with an instant process. Meanwhile. YPP Anwarul Ulum Keritang trains its students to get used to reading certain surahs at certain times, such as reading Al-Kahf every Friday night. However, in practice, it seems that students experience various obstacles so that their Fadhilah regarding reading Surah Al-Kahf cannot be felt clearly. Therefore, this research explores the motivation of students at YPP Anwarul Ulum in reading Surah Al-Kahf and describes the obstacles they experience in carrying out the routine of reading the Al-Quran at YPP Anwarul 'Ulum. Furthermore, this research also explored participants' manners in reading the QurAoan. This research took a sample of 99 Data mining was carried out by applying written interviews and preliminary questionnaires. Participants' responses and arguments were then processed using Nvivo 12 software. This research found that 60% of participants were motivated to follow the routine of reading Al-Kahf because of the priority/fadhilah of reading it. Meanwhile, the obstacles that most often occurred to participants were situations of hadas, drowsiness, self-control, and lust which still had to be trained. This research also found that not all etiquette in reading the QurAoan had been implemented by the participants. Therefore, this study recommends to participants in particular and every Muslim, in general, to practice self-control and lust and apply all manners in reading the QuAoran. Keywords: Motivation. Adab. Barriers. Reading the Koran. Al-Kahf Introduction The routine of reading the Al-Quran is a permanent agenda for every Muslim which needs to be developed from an early age 330 | AJIS : Academic Journal of Islamic Studies, vol. 8, no. 2, 2023 considering the many benefits of reading the Al-Quran. namely: syifa' . from various diseases of the heart . uch as doubt, hypocrisy, and stupidit. and healing the body using ruqyah. 1 Apart from that. Allah has promised students and memorizers of the Al-Quran who do not have the opportunity to pray at all because they are too focused, to get a greater reward than those who ask for His mercy. 2 and get the best reward that a grateful person can get. The routine of reading the Al-Quran is not just about reading the Al-Quran, but more about understanding the Al-Quran when reading it. Understanding the QurAoan can encourage humans to acquire Islamic character and morals. Even if they don't understand the contents of the QurAoan, people will still get rewards just by reading it. Humans will also get the privilege of reading certain surahs at certain times based on relevant hadiths. For this reason. YPP Anwarul Ulum holds daily and weekly routines containing Al-Quran reading activities with the hope that students can get the benefits of reading the surahs that have been set as a daily and weekly routine agenda. In this research, the author focuses on examining the weekly routine agenda, namely reading Surah Al-Kahf every Friday night. Practically, every worship agenda will always encounter various However, the author believes that these obstacles can be reduced with sufficient motivation. Therefore, this research attempts to describe the participants' motivation in reading Surah Al-Kahf and outline the obstacles they experience. The obstacles referred to in the context of this research are all obstacles that could prevent participants from participating in reading Surah Al-Kahf. Meanwhile, motivation in the context of this research is all forms of motivation that can encourage participants in this research to get used to reading Surah Al-Kahf every Friday night. Furthermore, this research also explores the manners of reading the QurAoan practiced by the participants in this research. The discussion about the etiquette of reading the Al-Quran aims to measure how well the participants in this study carry out the routine of reading 1Nukhbah Min Ulama.

Each topic regarding motivation, obstacles, and participant etiquette in reading the QurAoan will be discussed in more detail in the sub-discussion. This research applies qualitative methods with data processing tools in the form of Nvivo 12 software. Data collection is implemented by distributing leaflets containing questions and space to answer questions in writing on the leaflets. Next, the data obtained was input into Nvivo 12 software to make it easier for the author to group and categorize variations in participant responses. The data collected in this research is data in the form of a linear scale and written interview data. The author processes linear scale data with Microsoft Excel software. Meanwhile, the data that comes from written interviews, the author processes it using Nvivo 12. Nvivo is a software that is generally directed to reveal qualitative data analysis 13 Nvivo is used to present raw data that has been organized according to the design and needs of researchers. 14 Using Nvivo 12 software, the author creates certain themes to group interview results based on the themes that have been created. The thematic grouping of data like this is applied to help authors summarize research findings and develop discussions. The author processes data from written interviews using Nvivo The stages of processing this research data are: . first, the writer retyped the entire distribution of the written interview guide, . the author inputs the manuscript into Nvivo 12 software, . The author creates nodes/codes thematically based on interview guidelines and develops nodes according to participants' responses to the questions For linear scale data from surveys, the data processing stages are: First of all, the author selects data that meets the requirements for analysis, . summarize and input the data into Microsoft Excel software according to participant responses.

Some answers are not relevant to the purpose of the question, so the author only takes the relevant answers. On the other hand, participants may answer more than expected. For example, several participants answered the priority of reading Surah AlKahf in the motivation question column. This means that participants were motivated to read Surah Al-Kahf because of the importance of reading it. In cases like this, the author carries out justification in grouping data themes in the Nvivo software. So, the author groups these statements into Motivation nodes and Knowledge nodes about the virtues of reading Surah Al-Kahf. Results and Discussion Living Qur'an Research on the Living Qur'an is different from tafsir research because, in Living Qur'an research, the main aim is not to interpret certain verses. Research on the living QurAoan is often aimed at research that explores a tradition related to the Qur'an, such as research carried out by Nugroho,15 Rusmana,16 Maqfiroh17, and others. Other research specifically discusses the tradition of reading the Qur'an but does not link it to the Living Qur'an, such as the study conducted by Maskur 18. Research on the Living Qur'an plays an important role in filling the deficiencies in the study of the Al-Quran textually and contextually. Although the Living Quran research model is still developing today, in general, the Living Quran research model examines the process of 15Nugroho. AuResepsi Kajian Surat Al-Kahfi Di Dusun Kuwarisan.

Malang27. Banyuasin 28 and other places. The differences between this research and previous research on the Living Qur'an are in the aspects of location, data processing methods, data processing tools, and samples. Apart from that, previous research was not accompanied by a discussion of participants' etiquette when reading the Koran. What this research has in common with previous research is that they both describe the practice of reading Surah Al-Kahf, and both identify the motive or purpose of reading Surah Al-Kahf. Previous research has found that the motive or purpose of reading Surah Al-Kahfi is: istiqomah, getting pleasure from reading Surah Al-Kahfi, rejecting evil, because it makes it easier for oneself to memorize or not get senile easily, and in tahajjud prayer. 29 However, previous research did not reveal any obstacles experienced by participants in reading Surah Al-Kahf. 20Junaedi.

Get help and mercy on the Day of Judgment 38, . The house used for reading the Koran is attended by angels, . Lighter of the heart, . Not affected by disaster on the Day of Judgment. 39 The difference between this research and that research lies in the coverage of points of view regarding the virtues of reading the Al-Qur'an.

Ay 336 | AJIS : Academic Journal of Islamic Studies, vol. 8, no. 2, 2023 This study was specifically motivated to raise the topic of Surah Al-Kahf because no auh hadith recommends a special reading on Friday nights except for the hadith about reading Surah Al-Kahf. The virtue of reading Al-Kahf on Friday is the light that shines on it between the two Fridays. 40 People who memorize the first 10 verses of Surah AlKahf will be protected from the slander of the Dajjal. 41 Some opinions state that people who memorize the last 10 verses of Surah Al-Kahf will be protected from the fitnah of the Dajjal. 42 Other priorities are: . Keep away from incurable heat illnesses, . keep away from the deceptions of Satan43, . kept away from ugliness which is displayed with beauty and jewelry44, . Resisting disaster, . Easy to memorize/not easily senile. provide peace of life46. Because of the possibility of participant responses regarding motivation for reading Al-Kahf, one of which is the priority of reading it, in this research, the study of the importance of reading Surah Al-Kahf serves as a reference in assessing participants' knowledge about the importance of reading Surah Al-Kahf. Apart from that, this study is also useful in finding out the element of novelty in this research in terms of its findings. Because the participants' manners in reading the Al-Qur'an are very diverse, this research requires a reference as a basis for assessing good etiquette in reading the Al-Qur'an.

In previous relevant research. Syafei, et al. , stated that the etiquette for reading the QurAoan is learning face-to-face and choosing a holy place. 49 However, the research focus of Syafe'i, et al. , is different from the focus of this research. This research explores the factors that influence a person's ability to read the Al-Qur'an, while this research explores whether a person has applied etiquette in reading the Al-Qur'an or not.

What motivated you to read Surah Al-Kahf?Ay This question was asked to find out more specifically about participants' interest in getting used to reading Surah Al-Kahf. Based on the results of data processing in Nvivo 12 software, the reasons and motivation for participants to read Surah Al-Kahf are: . Amal Bil Ilmi Wal Quran, . Learning IstiqAmah, .

The next most dominating motivation is "Cottage routine", namely with 39 . hirty-nin. participants or 38. 61% of the total sample. This means that in general, the participants' motivation for reading Surah Al-Kahf was because of the importance of reading it and because of the routine of the cottage. Participants in this research also stated that the motivation for reading Surah Al-Kahf was to practice the knowledge and content of the Al-Qur'an. Participants in this research also stated that learning istiqomah was one of their motivations for reading Surah Al-Kahf every Friday night. They admit that the tradition of reading Surah Al-Kahf can help them to learn Istiqomah and practice its contents. The meaning of "self-encouragement" in the table above is all forms of encouragement and motivation that arise from one's mind 340 | AJIS : Academic Journal of Islamic Studies, vol. 8, no. 2, 2023 without the influence of the surrounding environment. When asked about their motivation for reading Surah Al-Kahf, participants in this study stated that they read Surah Al-Kahf because of their own will, either because they wanted to read it fluently, or because of their desire. Meanwhile, encouragement from friends, administrators, or the environment means all encouragement that comes from outside oneself, such as seeing their friends reading Surah Al-Kahf and being asked to do so by the Intra-School Student Organization (OSIS). Participants in this study stated that their motivation for reading Surah Al-Kahf was because of "a fixed agenda or routine at the cottage". However, several participants also stated that over time they read Surah Al-Kahf out of self-awareness and not because of routine at YPP Anwarul 'Ulum. The various confessions of the participants above can be the basis for concluding the form of the fact that they were motivated because of the fadhilah of reading Surah Al-Kahf, which shows that they want Taqarrub . o get closer to Allah SWT). It was proven that quite a few participants were motivated by their fadhilah, seeking Allah's approval, practicing the Sunnah, and abandoning evil actions. Obstacles in Reading Al-Kahf Next, the author asks the question "What prevents you from reading Surah Al-Kahf?" The author also asks an in-depth question, namely "If something prevents you from reading Surah Al-Kahf, why does that happen?" These two questions were asked to evaluate the AlKahf surah reading program and use it as input that can describe the extent to which an Al-Kahf surah reading program can be achieved with the hope that the results of this report or research can become material for development planning for YPP Anwarul Ulum. The obstacles experienced by the participants in this research were also very diverse, namely: . queue for your turn in the bathroom. Small and large hada . , . Urgent interests such as picket and illness, . One of the causes of fatigue is too much activity during the day, . Daydreaming while reading, . Drowsiness caused by lack of sleep, .
