Cimahi. Jawa Barat. Indonesia evafitariani2898@gmail. Received: October, 2024. Accepted: February, 2025 Abstract Memorizing the Koran is not easy. Parents must be involved in guiding and motivating their children to memorize the Qur'an at home so that their memorization increases and becomes stronger. In some cases, parents simply hand over their children to teachers at school to guide them back. so that children are not too interested in memorizing the Koran. Thus, the goal of memorization is not achieved. This research aims to determine the role of parents in children's Al-Qur'an tahfie education. This research uses a combination method, which means combining qualitative and quantitative methods. At the initial stage of the research, qualitative methods were used, and quantitative methods were used at the next The method used to analyze the data was average score analysis. The results show that one indicator of the satisfaction category is the role of parents in increasing children's memorization of the Qur'an. This suggests that children see significant improvements in memorization as parents maximize this role, but a lack of self-confidence from parents causes children to memorize more slowly. Educators try to understand the role of parents in improving children's memorization of the Qur'an. Keywords: Al-Qur'an, memorization, parents Abstrak Menghafal Al-Qur'an tidak mudah. Orang tua harus terlibat dalam membimbing dan memotivasi anak mereka menghafal Al-Qur'an di rumah agar hafalan mereka meningkat dan kuat. Dalam beberapa kasus, orang tua hanya menyerahkan anak mereka kepada guru di sekolah untuk membimbing mereka sehingga anak-anak tidak terlalu tertarik untuk menghafal Al-Qur'an. Dengan demikian, tujuan hafalan tidak tercapai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan peran orang tua dalam pendidikan tahfie Al-Qur'an anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kombinasi, yang berarti menggabungkan metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Pada tahap awal penelitian, metode kualitatif digunakan, dan metode kuantitatif digunakan pada tahap berikutnya. Metode yang digunakan untuk menganalisis data adalah analisis skor rata-rata. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa salah satu indikator kategori kepuasan adalah peran orang tua dalam meningkatkan hafalan Qur'an anak. Ini menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak melihat peningkatan yang signifikan dalam hafalan karena orang tua memaksimalkan peran ini, tetapi kurangnya kepercayaan diri dari orang tua menyebabkan anak lebih lambat menghafal. Pendidik berusaha untuk memahami peran orang tua dalam meningkatkan hafalan Qur'an anak. Kata kunci: Al-qurAoan. Hafalan. Orang Tua How to Cite: Fitariani.

INTRODUCTION Children reflect their parents because parents influence a child's development. Because every child born in this world must receive an inheritance from their parents, both physical and nonphysical. That's why the saying goes that the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. That means that a child's personality, physique and character will be the same as their parents. Fitriani. Optimizing The Role Of Parents In Improving Children's Memorization Of The Quran At Stp Khoiru Ummah Cimahi The Qur'an is the word of Allah SWT which was revealed to Rasulullah SAW and distributed to his followers in sequence. It starts with surah al-fatihah and surah an-nass. On the Day of Judgment, because the Qur'an builds behavior and morals, maintains the word of mouth, and strengthens the faith. Islam has provided a curriculum that is taught to children. According to Shaykh Jamal Abdurrahman's book. Al-Hafidz As-Suyuthi, "Teaching the Qur'an to children is one of the main points in Islam so that they are raised in a pure and white nature and their hearts are filled first with the light of wisdom before lust takes over him which will blacken him because of the turbid influence of iniquity and error. " (Hadith History of At-Tirmidhi. Sunan At-Tirmidhi. Al-Alamiyah Version: 2835. Maktabatu Al-Maarif Riyadh Version: 2910, and the Virtue of the Qur'an in the Chapter of Reading One Letter of the Qur'an and Its Rewards 3 Abdul Muhsin . Even busy people can memorize the Koran (Rouf. Mashudi & Nikmah. Children are a small part of Islamic society as a person who basically has common sense, which must be used to search for information. This potential gives children the opportunity to develop their personality, which is influenced by the child's awareness of thinking (Arifin, et. , 2. Childhood is the best time to memorize the Qur'an because parents must pay attention to it. Memorizing the Qur'an is a very worthwhile endeavor. However, memorizing the Koran is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand. Therefore, so that memorizing is not too difficult, there are several things that need to be prepared before doing (Arif & Busa, 2. Evaluation of children's memorization at home is very important, parents can find out whether their child's memorization is in accordance or not with the targets given by the school that provides the memorization targets. Parents must also pay attention to their children's readiness starting from physical and non-physical readiness, so that the results are maximized. Apart from that, parents must pay attention to non-physical things, namely children's reading when According to hearing correct memorization, makhrijul letters, shifatul letters, and fluency in memorizing are signs that parents are helping their children memorize the Qur'an (Uswatun, et. , 2. The Qur'an must also be taught by parents to their children like children's memorization activities. Apart from parents evaluating children's activities, parental assistance at home for children when memorizing is also very important. Most Muslims hope to memorize 30 juz of the Koran. Memorizing the Qur'an is also considered a "guardian", or al-hafidz, which is a very noble gift. They have a very close position before Allah, starting from intercession in the afterlife to the rank of Ahlullah. It is not easy to memorize the Koran in its entirety and apply it in everyday life because there are many trials that must be passed in the process, which results in a high level in the eyes of Allah and humans. Theoretical basis Community education seeks to help students by giving them the power and resources they need to solve society's problems. Diversity and participation are pillars of education and community Education that values people and their experiences will emerge as a result of this Informal education, popular education, community development, community learning, non-credit education, and collaborative types of education are some of the labels used around the world for elements related to community education. The historical context of each country or region usually determines the appropriate label. however, in each country or region, there is an implied connection and conflation of what is meant by the words "society" and "education", which impacts the focus of "Community Education" (Decker, et. , 2. Fitriani. Optimizing The Role Of Parents In Improving Children's Memorization Of The Quran At Stp Khoiru Ummah Cimahi According to Cronnoly public education is an effort to realize social justice in addition to providing education to the community (Sudiapermana, 2. From this perspective, community education is seen as a process that addresses the underlying causes of oppression and injustice by providing students with opportunities to consider the way they emerge in the situations they experience. Afterwards, students are encouraged to act and use their knowledge to bring about change for themselves or to achieve greater equality. According to the role of parents refers to how parents look after their children (Lestar & Amaliana, 2. These roles must strictly correspond to how parents should look after their children. This is due to the fact that parents' actions will set an example for their children. There is no doubt that parents have an important role in providing the best teaching for their children Parents have a big role in helping their children's education. One of them is helping children when they study online at home. Parents have a very important role in providing attention and affection to their children. In educating children, we must show good examples, good advice, good guidance, remind them when they are wrong, and give them an understanding of what they are doing. METHODS This research uses a mixed approach, which combines two research approaches . uantitative and qualitativ. States that a mixed approach combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches into research activities, so that the data obtained will be more comprehensive, valid, reliable and objective (Sugiyono, 2. This research conducts a case study, and the aim of this type of research is to gain a better understanding of the case that is the focus of the research. In accordance with the definition above, the aim of this research is to calculate the influence and understand why parents should accompany their children in improving their memorization of the Qur'an as a means of obtaining information. According to population is a generalization area consisting of subjects or objects that have certain qualities and characteristics that are chosen by researchers to study and then produce conclusions (Sugiyono, 2. Parents who educate their children at STP Khoiru Ummah Cimahi City are the subjects of this research. Currently, there are 45 parents of students involved in this research. This research uses nonprobability or non-random sampling techniques, or sampling that is not done randomly. Researchers specifically use purposive sampling techniques, which select samples based on criteria set by the researcher. This research involved parents. Questionnaires . tructured or close. and questionnaires . nstructured or ope. are the three data collection methods used, namely interviews, literature studies, and questionnaires or This method is used to collect accurate information about the role of parents in improving children's memorization of the Qur'an. A total of 45 parents from the surveyed sample received written questions. Next, the second step is to conduct interviews. The data collection method known as interviewing involves questions being asked orally to the To obtain further information, the researcher asked verbal questions to the students' parents regarding the case being studied and also asked questions to experts regarding the problem. Next, the third method is literature study. This method includes searching and analyzing data to be researched theoretically, as well as references and other scientific literature related to values, norms and children's education in a social context. This literature study uses data from books, journals, papers, research reports and other research results related to this topic (Sugiyono, 2. Fitriani.

Interpretasi Data Range (%) Criteria 0<20% Very Ineffective 20% Ae < 40% Ineffective 40% Ae < 60% Quite Effective 60% hingga 80% Effective 80% hingga 100% Very Effective Discussion The Al-Quran tahfidz program is offered by STP Khoiru Ummah Cimahi City to improve students' Quran reading skills. where all thirty minutes before learning begins, someone must memorize the specified memorization. Previous studies show that the more attention parents pay to children increases their ability to read the Koran together. STP Khoiru Ummah Cimahi City offers an Al-Quran tahfidz program to improve students' AlQuran reading skills. where someone has to memorize the letters that have been determined every 30 minutes before learning begins. Without parental support, the program will not be Parents have a very important role in this matter. By giving them the Koran and ajwid, inviting them to muraja'ah at home, and motivating them to read the Koran every day, parents can help their children learn many things. Previous studies show that the more attention parents pay to children increases their ability to read the Koran together. According to Ki Hajar Dewantara, as part of the three education centers, families, especially Parents should try new things and accompany their children in a way that best suits their personality. Parents can use educational props to teach their children if necessary. This can be achieved by creating card games with green letters that encourage children to engage in lessons (Zeyeni. Raynaud & Revet, 2. In addition, methods such as Fighter Jet. Ummi, and Wafa are often associated with research on learning the Koran. Discipline in children's learning also helps them understand the Koran. There is a significant correlation between parental attention and the ability of children or students to read the Koran, according to several studies (Herdiansyah, 2. Parents should also encourage their children to study the Koran. As stated student failure in learning to read the Koran will be directly correlated with the student's lack of selfencouragement (Hariandi, 2. It is very beneficial for parents to spend special time, such as after maghrib, with their children and encourage them to learn to read the Koran. The sorogan strategy is used by parents if necessary. Children read the Koran with Tartil under strict supervision according to the science of Tajweed and separately from their parents. It seems that the sorogan method can be used to find the makhraj letters of the Koran (Hasanah, 2.
