The Urgency of Waqaf and Ibtida’ for Accuracy of Meaning in the Study of Tajwid Al-Qur’an

2025-12-01T07:15:15+00:00

This study examines the importance of waqf and ibtida’ in maintaining the accuracy of the meanings of Qur'anic verses. Mistakes in pausing or beginning the recitation can lead to shifts in meaning that affect the reader's understanding. Through a literature study approach, this research explores the definitions, legal basis, and classifications of waqf and ibtida’ according to classical and contemporary qira’ah scholars. Data was obtained from tajwid books, qira’ah literature, and relevant academic references. The results show that proper application of waqf and ibtida’ not only helps improve the quality of tilawah, but also preserves the continuity of the verses’ meanings so they are not interrupted or misinterpreted. Correct understanding of waqf signs in the mushaf also aids the qari in determining reading pauses. Therefore, mastery of the knowledge of waqf and ibtida’ is an essential part of performing the Qur'an recitation in a tartil manner, with precise meaning, and in accordance with the guidance of scholars.

Strategy for Internalizing Religious Values Through the Subject of Faith and Morals in Shaping Student Discipline at MI NW Anjani

2026-01-01T09:44:14+00:00

Education is not only aimed at developing students’ intellectual intelligence but also at shaping their character. In practice, Indonesia still faces various moral problems, such as increasing deviant behaviors, violations of school rules, low discipline, and declining politeness among students. Previous studies have emphasized the importance of character education based on religious values; however, few studies have specifically examined the strategies used by teachers to internalize religious values in shaping students’ disciplinary character. This gap becomes the focus of the present study. This study employed a qualitative descriptive case study method with a field research approach conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nahdlatul Wathan (MI NW) Anjani. Data were collected through participant observation, structured interviews, and documentation, while data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Akidah Akhlak teachers implement strategies for internalizing religious values through several approaches, including habit formation, exemplary behavior, embedding values in lesson materials, positive reinforcement and rewards, as well as corrective guidance and educational sanctions. Supporting factors for the success of these strategies include the active role of teachers as role models, curricula that integrate religious values, a religious school environment, and collaboration with parents. In contrast, limiting factors include insufficient facilities and infrastructure and lack of parental support. In conclusion, the internalization of religious values through Akidah Akhlak lessons effectively shapes students’ disciplinary character, provided it is supported by exemplary teachers, a conducive school environment, and parental involvement. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of a holistic approach to character education, combining academic learning with religious values consistently both at school and at home.

Mimicry Memorization Technique in Arabic Vocabulary Learning: A Case Study in Grade 2 at an Islamic Elementary School in South Tangerang

2026-02-05T06:05:34+00:00

This study aims to describe the application of the mimicry-memorization technique in teaching Arabic vocabulary to second-grade students at an Islamic Elementary School in South Tangerang. Arabic plays an essential role in islamic education, yet it is often perceived as difficult from Indonesian. Therefore, an appropriate teaching technique that aligns with young’s learning characteristics is needed to help them gradually master basic vocabulary. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through unstructured interviews, participant observation, documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the teacher implemented the mimicry-memorization technique through four main stages: listening, imitating, repeating, and memorizing vocabulary. The teacher acted as a language model by providing clear pronounciation examples, while students preated the words collectively. This and reinforced their memory through repetition. However, the study also identified signs of boredom among students and difficulties in memorization when learning lacked engaging media. Therefore, the mimicry-memorization technique should be integrated with visual aids and games to better match the characteristics of elementary learners. When applied creatively, this technique can serve as a relevant and meaningful approach to arabic vocabulary learning in primary education.

This research aims to describe the implementation of P5-PPRA, analyze its contribution to forming religious moderation and entrepreneurship, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. This qualitative case study used observation, interviews, and documentation techniques involving teachers and students of three Islamic elementary schools in Gresik. The results indicate that project-based programs such as entrepreneurship fairs, interfaith tolerance activities, community collaboration, and contextual learning successfully improved students’ understanding of religious moderation and basic entrepreneurial skills. Supporting factors include institutional policy and community involvement, while obstacles arise from teacher competence and time limitations. The study concludes that P5-PPRA is effective in developing students’ religious moderation and entrepreneurship when implemented collaboratively and supported by adequate human resources.
