RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A Historical Overview of QurAoan Memorization in Indonesia: The Emergence and Impact of the Yadain Method The tradition of the QurAoan memorization in Indonesia has a deep-rooted history closely related to the coming of Islam to the archipelago since the 13th century.
Traditionally, before more formalized methods for memorizing the QurAoan were introduced, teaching of the QurAoan was conducted by oral approaches, constituting an important part of the pesantren culture, or Islamic boarding schools.
14 The talaqqi method of teaching was heavily dominated in the early days, whereby a teacher or kiai would have to recite the verses of the QurAoan, and these were repeated by students until they got them memorized.
As a matter of fact, such a tradition was not aimed at memorizing of the verses of the QurAoan but at comprehending the meanings and essence of these texts.
Many had traditional pesantren backgrounds where access to the printed mushaf, or copies of the QurAoan, was at a minimum and memorization depended on the degree of listening and repetition.
As time advanced, during the beginning of the 20th century, the pesantren began to take shape and form as organized centers of Islamic education.
In this environment, one of the students' major goals was the memorization of the Quran.
Throughout this period, most pesantren made it a point to stress memorization of the QurAoan within a specific timeframe.
The pesantren system of education built more organized memorization techniques that relied on constant repetition and proper time use.
Every student, known as a hafidz or QurAoan memorizer, is supposed to commit at least a few juz of the QurAoan to memory within a specific time period.
This system further developed itself by establishing a tahfidz class that emphasized memorization, together with the study of tajwid .
and tafsir .
of the QurAoan.
After Indonesia declared its independence in 1945.
Islamic education in Indonesia mushroomed, whereby many pesantrens adopted formal and modern curricula.
The Indonesian government also opened Islamic educational institutions that combined religious studies with general knowledge, but QurAoan memorization kept its central place in the Islamic education system.
In this age, methods of QurAoan memorization became more systematized, and in some pesantren, time-based techniques of memorization were Rusmini Samsu.

introduced for efficiency in the process.
Regular repetition and small group methods were introduced in this regard.
Technology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries brought new developments to QurAoanic memorization in Indonesia.
Digital apps and multimedia were increasingly used in pesantren and Islamic schools, making memorization easier.
These tools allowed students and the general public to memorize the QurAoan more flexibly while keeping oral memorization as the main focus.
Technology also helped people who lived far from learning centers or had busy schedules to participate in Tahfidz programs.
However, to better understand the Yadain Method's impact, it is important to also explore the memorization methods that existed in Indonesia before this method was introduced.
This will help provide context for how the Yadain Method fits into the broader landscape of QurAoanic education.
One of the newest innovations introduced into the QurAoan memorization tradition in Indonesia by Yadi Iryadi is the Yadain Method.
This Yadain Method involves more visualization and provides an understanding of the meaning of the QurAoanic verses as the key to accelerating memorization.
The Yadain Method basically includes three steps, namely: virtual QurAoan, which means seeing the verses of the QurAoan in one's mind.
management, which includes dividing the verses into smaller pieces so that they can be managed more efficiently.
and verse imagination, which involves imagining what a verse would have looked like if it had actually happened in real-life situations.
This method shows that in order to memorize, one needs awareness of the meaning and relationship between verses, yet it allows for a holistic learning approach, not entirely focused on rote memorization but also on comprehension and reflection.
The Yadain Method has been widely publicized for its ability to simplify the process of memorization without compromising depth in understanding the QurAoan.
With this approach, success has been achieved in many modern Islamic institutions, particularly in modern pesantren.
In Indonesia.
QurAoan memorization participants can now memorize more efficiently and understand the context and wisdom behind each verse they memorize.
Furthermore, this approach will make it easier for people at any age level, even children, teenagers, and adults from various walks of life, to participate in QurAoan memorization programs with greater efficiency.
In general, the tradition of memorization of the QurAoan in Indonesia has had a very long journey and has passed through many changes up to this time.
Starting with the traditional method of talaqqi in pesantren to introducing modern methods like Yadain, the process of QurAoan memorization continuously transforms to meet the needs of the It is in this method that Indonesia manages to rescue the immense cultural and religious heritage of her people and at the same time opens up avenues for future generations to further the use of the QurAoan as a guide in life with far more adequacy and 17 Muhammad Jakfar.

QurAoan Memorization Using the Yadain Method: Practices and Impact at the Executive Tahfidz Center Yogyakarta This section of the paper opens the discussion on the uniqueness of the Yadain Method in learning and its importance, which creates memorization at the Executive Tahfidz Center Yogyakarta.
The method described will thus be part of the center's method in tahfidz through mental and spiritual development to develop closer relations among participants with the QurAoan.
Defining the Memorization of the QurAoan and its Spiritual Significance Memorization of the QurAoan, which comes from the Arabic root hifz, is more than just a recitation of this verse.
it means committing to memory and retaining the meanings for correct recall.
This is because the term QurAoan itself means "to read" or "to recite," and as such, is the divine revelation that holds a very sacred position in the life of a Muslim.
The QurAoan is not only a tangible book but is treated as the eternal word of Allah that guides, shapes, and uplifts the spiritual state of its adherents.
It has been held in great belief that QurAoan memorization has a great spiritual significance: it's believed to bring inner peace.
God's protection, and high spiritual status.
The traditional methods of memorizingAiwhich include binnadzr, talaqqi, tiqrar, and wahdahAiall denote repetition and attachment to the text.
These approaches emphasize that one needs to memorize the words and, more importantly, reflect upon and understand their meanings.

approach Allah in the acts of dhikr,24 salah,25 and tafakkur of the Qur'an.
26 The serenity resulting from this repetitive engagement with the text internalizes divine wisdom within the person while drawing him closer to the Creator.
Memorization, therefore, goes beyond a mere act of mental recall to a journey and transformation in the spiritual nurturing of the heart, mind, and soul.
The Historical Development and Practical Application of the Yadain Method This method was initiated by Yadi Iryadi between 2006 and 2009 as an effort to overcome his students' difficulties in memorizing the QurAoan at Pondok Pesantren AlMultazam Husnul Khatimah in West Java.
It is planned for a young learner.
hence, tahsin, or the proper way of reading, is merged into tahfidz, or memorization, along with some unique visualization techniques.
Because the very essence of this method lies within the "two hands": the right hand is in blue for the truth, in haq, and the left hand is in black to represent falsehood or bathil.
This instantaneous visual dichotomy enables one to discern even more, developing an intuitive understanding of the verses.
The Yadain Method is distinguished by its innovative and integrative approach to QurAoanic memorization.
Unlike traditional methods, it incorporates contextual insights such as translations, asbabun nuzul .
ircumstances of revelatio.
, and the structure of the verses within the QurAoan.
These layers transform memorization into a multisensory experience that engages both the intellectual and spiritual dimensions of the learner.
29 By combining memorization with reflection, understanding, and a focus on the meaning of the verses, the Yadain Method fosters not only cognitive development but also spiritual growth, thereby enhancing mental well-being.
This approach proves effective across all age groups, providing an environment in which learners can internalize the QurAoan in a meaningful and lasting way.
Yadain Method-Structured Quarantine Activities Quarantine activities within the Yadain Method are intellectually and spiritually It is a system that balances rigorous memorization and enrichment activities to bring in intellectual and spiritual development in tandem.
This structure will help one not only memorize the QurAoan but also create an attachment with the text.
These are activities involving reflection, recitation, and the providing of context for the verses through which participants are able to internalize the meanings themselves, thus fostering better retention and comprehension.
Participant Enrollment and Essential Materials for Tahfidz Quarantine Programs Enrollment into the quarantine program is a three-stage registration process: online registration, verification of payment, and an initial memorization Those who pass are oriented and given reading preparations in advance to give a solid background on this journey of memorization.
The structural framework of the program incorporates a Standard Operating Procedure, hence it 5-12 hours daily of tajwid and tahfidz session activities.

Spiritual practices like dhikr and reflecting on verses helped create peace and emotional balance, making memorization easier.
At the same time, the quarantine offered a supportive social environment where participants could share their successes and challenges.
These shared experiences built a sense of community and motivation.

In Juz 1Ae27, only new vocabulary and key verse elements are translated, so the focus can be intact on the memorization but at the same time core meanings will be conveyed easily.
Understanding the Yadain QurAoan This Yadain QurAoan follows the Uthmanic script and also considers standards set by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs for being accessible and authoritative.
Color-coding of the method takenAiused in blue on the right-hand side for the true meaning and black on the left for the false or misleading interpretationAiserves to instruct learners.
This gives a very clear visual cue that will help students decide on the correctness of meanings and hence pick up misconceptions, which improves their memorization of the QurAoan and message as well as clarity of understanding.
The coloring indicators will thus enable learners to ponder deeply over those verses while engaging the QurAoan at an intellectual level of memorization, coupled with spiritual reflection.

In verse memorization, read the verse once and then glimpse into the mushaf for one second and close your eyes, visualizing it in your head.
Aim to memorize between one and four words per glimpse.
If this feels difficult, try smaller intervals to begin with and gradually extend the length to increase your powers of concentration.
This way, you will be able to reach fast memorization.
each word will be engraved in your memory in almost no time.
This will eventually lead to better retention and speed later on.
Review and Continuous Memorization (MurajaAoa.
After the initial memorization, one proceeds with the review of the memorized parts in juz or half-juz increments, which in Arabic is referred to as setoran.
Advanced new memorization sessions may take approximately 10 to 30 minutes per page, although, for beginners, an hour per page is quite common.
Gradually, as the memorization advances, the memorizer reflects upon the verse being memorized concerning its subject, the attributes mentioned in it, and its contextAia process in Arabic called tadabburAi whereby the absorption of meaning will be deeper and retention will improve.

considerably hastened, especially for beginners.
It also features thematic indexes and asbabun nuzul, or reasons for revelation, that put the verses into context.
39 Overall, this Yadain approach provides intellectual contemplation with an emotional resonanceAian experience full of insight on a spiritual and cognitive level.
Cognitive Techniques in QurAoanic Memorization Using the Yadain Method The Yadain Method of QurAoanic memorization uses a systematic process that has cognitive means to advance both the memorization process and the comprehension First, it provides the Virtual QurAoan technique, which makes each participant imagine verses they have never seen.
That brain exercise links the written words to their meaning, giving way to a better grasp and rapport with the text.
The Verse Management technique next in turn breaks down each verse into manageable segments, normally 3-4 words per section.
This then coincides with how the brain naturally retains information through smaller and more digestible pieces of information.
By memorizing word by word, participants internalize the verses further and keep each phrase within its context much The process now goes to Verse Imagination, whereby, after the reading of the verse, the meaning is imagined.
When imagination is hard, repetition of the verse is what will help derive clarity and strengthen memorization.
This approach emphasizes the fact that memorization is not just about rote learning.
rather, it's about creating a deep mental and spiritual connection with the verse.
With the memorization at an end, one then focuses on setting the verse well in the long-term memory.
This is done through much recitation and review until the verse is gradually buried within the mind, just like the way the Surah Al-Fatihah is learned and digested within.
This approach places more emphasis on tadabbur, or contemplation, through the actual practice of reflecting on the meaning of the verses with all senses: seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling.
Such a holistic approach to memorization may allow a deeper understanding of the text, enabling participants not only to memorize the QurAoan but also to connect with its deeper meanings.
While memorizing, individuals are also involved in exegesis and translations to comprehend the thematic relevancies of the verses for actual understanding and remembering.
Another essential concept of the Yadain Method involves of verse management is jari ayat, a technique wherein a participant has to acknowledge the correct sequencing of the verses, where every verse is committed to memory in the right order and position.
This also means discerning right from wrong, and it is further symbolized by the right and left-hand sides of the QurAoan.
Color coding and visualization enhance this clarity of mind, which in calm and concentration is a must for effective memorization.
Finally, murajaAoah, or the review process itself, is an important part of this method, wherein one ensures whatever is memorized will be retained for a long.
Muroja'ah can be done by reviewing each time after memorization, reviewing before sleep to consolidate what is learned, and the submission of the memorized content to a mentor for evaluation.
The idea of constant revision and feedback makes the memorization not only accurate but also well entrenched in the memory of the participant to the extent of living the QurAoanic verses daily.
While the Yadain Method combines cognitive techniques, spiritual reflection 39 Aziz.

forms a comprehensive approach to QurAoanic memorization by nurturing both the mind and soul.
Evaluating the Strengths and Weaknesses of the Yadain Method The Yadain Method of Qur'anic memorization has several strengths that make it effective and appealing to many learners.
One major advantage is its ability to speed up the memorization process.
With practice, participants can memorize a page of the Qur'an in 20-30 minutes.
This efficiency is enhanced by reflection and understanding, which makes memorization faster and more meaningful.
By contemplating translations and understanding the verses, learners retain and connect better with the material.
The method also provides a solid framework for complete memorization.
44 It is especially helpful for memorizing the first three juz, which form a foundation that makes the remaining 27 juz easier to memorize.
This integrated approach creates a smoother learning process and reduces the effort needed in later stages.
The methodAos flexibility allows it to cater to different age groupsAifrom children to adultsAiand even busy individuals, enabling them to progress at their own pace without losing efficiency.
Another strength is the use of cognitive visualization, which helps participants mentally picture the verses.
This improves recall and makes memorization more engaging, moving beyond simple rote learning.
Visualization and reflection also deepen understanding, blending intellectual and spiritual growth in the memorization process.
However, the Yadain Method has some limitations.
Participants need initial guidance, which takes 2-3 hours before they can start memorizing in groups.
This preparatory phase requires a skilled instructor, which might be a challenge for some.
Additionally, learners often need to complete the first 2-3 juz to fully adjust to the method and experience its ease.
This stage demands patience and commitment, which can be difficult for those seeking quick results.
The methodAos success depends on four key principles: focus, regular practice, repetition, and comprehension.
Missing any of these elements can hinder progress.
It also requires learners to connect deeply with the QurAoanic verses, both intellectually and emotionally, for the best results.
In summary, the Yadain Method is effective for memorizing the QurAoan and building a personal connection with its content.
It is fast, flexible, and engaging but requires proper preparation, adherence to key principles, and emotional commitment.
With an integrated approach to learning, the method can help participants achieve both intellectual and spiritual growth.
The Yadain MethodAos Influence on Psychological and Emotional Well-Being The Yadain Method at the Executive Tahfidz Center Yogyakarta has a strong impact on participantsAo mental well-being during the Tahfidz quarantine.
This method uses five key steps to promote emotional calm and spiritual growth.
The first step is AuTahsin and QiraAoah al-QurAoan,Ay where participants focus on correct recitation.
This builds confidence, reduces anxiety about making mistakes, and creates a sense of achievement.

Another step is AuIntegrating Physical and Spiritual Well-Being.
Ay Maintaining physical health improves mental focus, while spiritual practices like dhikr and reciting maAosurat bring peace and reduce negative thoughts.

51 Reflecting on its meanings, using translations provided by IndonesiaAos Ministry of Religious Affairs, makes the text more relatable, especially for those not fluent in Arabic.
This deepens understanding and fosters a sense of peace, spiritual growth, and intellectual clarity.
52 In essence, the Yadain Method not only supports faster memorization but also creates a supportive environment for emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Its structured routines, spiritual practices, mentorship, and focus on reflection promote mental clarity and balance, making the memorization process more meaningful.
Further studies could explore participants' experiences to uncover more insights about the methodAos impact.
CONCLUSIONS

It accelerates memorization with this dual focus on cognitive and spiritual elements, internalizing the QurAoan more effectively in participants while creating a profound connection to its meanings.
Such retention and fluency are further reinforced to make sure that participants build mental and emotional clarity on their way by the integration of structured review, or muraja'ah, and emphasis on correct recitation, tahsin, in the method.
