Abstract

This research aims to determine and obtain information about how teachers improve the quality of reading, understanding, and character habituation through Qur'an reading activities for class IIA students at MIS At-Taqwa Sambas. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis techniques used were data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The data validity techniques applied were source triangulation, technique triangulation, and member checking. The results of the study show that teachers improve the quality of students’ Qur'an reading through the Iqra’ method by teaching the recognition of hijaiyah letters according to their correct makhraj, teaching the use of harakat such as fathah, kasrah, and dhammah, and providing gradual reading exercises using the Iqra’ book. Teachers also provide correct reading examples, correct students’ reading mistakes, and give repetitive exercises so that students become accustomed to reading hijaiyah letters and Qur'anic verses fluently in accordance with tajwid rules. In improving students’ understanding of Qur'an reading, teachers explain reading signs in the Qur'an such as harakat, tasydid, and the rules of long and short pronunciation, as well as introduce basic tajwid rules such as mad, idzhar, idgham, iqlab, and ikhfa. Furthermore, teachers improve character habituation through Qur'an reading activities by organizing special time for Qur'an reading activities and monitoring students’ discipline during the activities. This habituation aims to instill religious character, discipline, and positive habits in students so that they become accustomed to reading the Qur'an in their daily lives.
