Implementation of Ummi Method to Perfect Al-Quran Reading: Case Study at STAI Ma'arif Magetan

Abstract

The Ummi method is one of the innovative approaches in learning the Qur'an that focuses on aspects of reading, understanding, and memorising the Qur'an with a natural and personal approach. This study aims to analyse the implementation of the Ummi method at the Ma’arif Islamic Religious College (STAIM) Magetan, especially in improving students' Qur'an reading and writing competence. The research used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the application of the Ummi method at STAIM Magetan succeeded in improving the ability to read the Qur'an in tartil and students' understanding of the laws of tajweed. In addition, this approach also motivates students to be more active in learning the Qur'an through fun and interactive learning. Thus, the Ummi method has great potential to be applied more widely in the context of Islamic education.
