Exploring the factors contributing to the success of Tahfiz students.

Abstract

There has been substantial progress in the field of tahfiz education in Malaysia,
driven by increasing public awareness and interest. However, several challenges have
emerged, particularly regarding time management issues that adversely impact the daily lives
of tahfiz students. To optimise students’ Quran memorisation abilities, tahfiz education relies
on active two-way interactions between instructors and students. Therefore, this study aims to
explore the factors that motivate tahfiz students to engage seriously in their studies and identify
effective strategies for enhancing their study routines. This qualitative research employed a
case study approach, utilising data collected through semi-structured interviews, direct
observation, and document analysis. The data were analysed using NVivo Pro 14 software.
Purposive sampling was used to select two instructors and five tahfiz students as research
participants. The findings revealed two main themes: internal and external factors that
influence the development of high-achieving tahfiz students. It is anticipated that this study will
contribute to a deeper understanding of tahfiz education and help inform strategies for
improving the quality of religious education and services for future generations.
