Talaqqi in the Digital Age: Analyzing the Integration and Sustained Efficacy of Traditional Methods in Tahfidz Education

Abstract

This research arises from the urgency of memorizing the Qur’an as an effort to preserve the authenticity of Allah’s revelation while shaping a Qur’anic generation with knowledge and noble character. Madrasatul Qur’an Mambaul Falah, as a tahfidz institution, applies the talaqqi method inherited from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), yet in practice, variations in students’ memorization outcomes are still observed. This study focuses on two main questions: (1) how the talaqqi method is implemented to improve the memorization ability of tahfidz students, and (2) what supporting and inhibiting factors influence its application. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that the talaqqi method is effective in enhancing students’ memorization quality, particularly in fluency, tajwid accuracy, and articulation of letters (makh?rijul ?ur?f). The supporting factors include teacher competence, student grouping based on memorization achievement, and a conducive learning environment. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors consist of the limited number of teachers, low discipline among some students, and the lack of regular evaluation. Therefore, it is suggested that the institution increase the number of tahfidz instructors, strengthen student discipline through supervision and motivation, and improve systematic evaluation so that the implementation of the talaqqi method can be further optimized in producing high-quality Qur’an memorizers
