This study aims to improve students' understanding of the obligation to serve their parents through the application of mind mapping in the 11th-grade Al-Qur'an and Hadith subject at MA NU Maron. The background of this study was the lack of student understanding of the material presented using conventional methods, necessitating learning innovations that are engaging and motivating. This study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, implemented in two cycles. Each cycle included planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research instruments consisted of comprehension tests, observation sheets, and documentation. The results showed that the application of the mind mapping method increased student engagement in the learning process, facilitated their understanding of the material, and strengthened their memory. In the first cycle, students' learning achievement showed an initial increase, and in the second cycle, the results improved significantly, reaching the specified success indicator. Thus, it can be concluded that the mind mapping method is effective in improving students' understanding of the Al-Qur'an and Hadith subject, particularly the material on the obligation to serve their parents.
