The Implementation of The Asy-Syafi’i Method in Enhancing Al-Qur'an Reading Ability at Rumah Tahfidz Anwarul Madinah

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Asy-Syafi’i method in enhancing Qur’anic reading proficiency among students of Class (A) at Rumah Tahfidz Anwarul Madinah. The Asy-Syafi’i method, known for its structured phonetic approach and emphasis on tahsin (improvement of recitation quality), is designed to help learners develop accurate pronunciation, rhythm, and understanding of tajwid rules. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, involving observation, interviews, and documentation to capture the learning process and students’ progress. Data were analyzed through stages of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the systematic implementation of the Asy-Syafi’i method significantly improves students’ ability to recognize letters, apply makhraj correctly, and recite the Qur’an fluently with proper tajwid. In addition, the method fosters students’ motivation and discipline through repetitive practice and teacher-guided correction. The role of the instructor proved crucial in maintaining consistency, providing feedback, and ensuring individual attention to learners. Challenges identified include students’ varying initial abilities and the need for continuous reinforcement outside class sessions. Overall, the Asy-Syafi’i method demonstrates effectiveness as a pedagogical strategy in Qur’anic education, contributing to the development of structured and efficient learning models in tahfidz institutions. This research suggests the importance of integrating traditional recitation methods with modern pedagogical approaches to strengthen Qur’anic literacy among young learners.
