This study aims to enhance the academic synergy of the Quranic Studies and Exegesis Program at IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo in supporting Quranic literacy mentoring activities for coastal communities in Oluhuta Village, Bone Bolango Regency. The study is motivated by the low level of Quranic literacy in coastal areas, which is influenced by limited access to religious education and a shortage of competent mentors. This condition is further exacerbated by the fact that most residents of Oluhuta Village are fishermen who spend much of their lives at sea, limiting opportunities for structured learning. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores the role of lecturers and students from the Quranic Studies and Exegesis Department in planning, implementing, and evaluating a mentoring program aimed at strengthening basic skills in reading and writing the Quran. The findings show that interdisciplinary academic synergy, particularly in tajwid, tahsin, and Quranic teaching methodologies, significantly improves participants’ Quranic literacy skills. In addition, the program strengthens the relationship between Islamic higher education institutions, particularly IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo, and the surrounding community. It also serves as a medium for implementing academic integration and community service values. This study recommends the development of an integrated and context-based Quranic mentoring model for similar coastal communities in other regions.

Kemampuan baca tulis Al-Qur’an (BTQ) merupakan kompetensi dasar dalam pendidikan Islam yang perlu dikembangkan secara sistematis sejak usia dini. Namun, dalam praktik pembelajaran di Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an (TPQ), masih ditemukan permasalahan berupa rendahnya kemampuan membaca, menulis huruf hijaiyah, serta ketidakseimbangan antara aspek tajwid, makhraj, dan kefasihan bacaan santri. Kondisi ini menunjukkan perlunya inovasi metode pembelajaran yang lebih efektif dan terstruktur. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan BTQ santri melalui pendampingan berbasis integrasi metode imla’ dan talaqqi di TPQ Nurul Huda Sentani Jayapura. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain library research yang didukung oleh data lapangan kegiatan pengabdian. Proses pelaksanaan dilakukan secara partisipatif dan aplikatif melalui tahapan pembelajaran membaca (talaqqi), menulis (imla’), serta penguatan melalui muroja’ah terjadwal. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan santri pada berbagai aspek. Pada aspek kelancaran membaca dan hafalan, lima santri memperoleh nilai 5, empat santri nilai 4, dan enam santri nilai 3. Pada aspek tajwid, empat santri mencapai nilai 5, enam santri nilai 4, dan lima santri nilai 3. Sementara itu, pada aspek kefasihan bacaan, sembilan santri mencapai nilai 5. Secara umum, penerapan metode imla’ dan talaqqi memberikan dampak signifikan terhadap peningkatan kemampuan membaca, menulis huruf hijaiyah, serta ketepatan makhraj dan tajwid santri. Kesimpulan dari kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa integrasi metode imla’ dan talaqqi efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan BTQ santri, serta berdampak positif terhadap motivasi, kedisiplinan, dan keterlibatan aktif dalam pembelajaran. Model ini dapat menjadi alternatif strategi pembelajaran BTQ di TPQ, khususnya di wilayah dengan keterbatasan sumber belajar.  

This study aims to describe the role of parents in increasing the motivation to learn to read and write the Qur'an (BTA) at TPQ Babul Khair Abepura and analyze its impact on the children's abilities. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving teachers/ustadz, parents, and students as data sources. Data was collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, with its validity tested through source triangulation. The results show that the role of parents is crucial in enhancing children's learning motivation, both as educators, motivators, facilitators, and role models. Active parental involvement has proven to improve discipline, enthusiasm for learning, and children's achievements in reading and writing the Qur'an. On the other hand, a lack of parental involvement negatively affects children's motivation and abilities. The motivation provided by parents helps in the smooth reading of the Qur'an, understanding tajwid, and writing hijaiyah letters. In conclusion, the success of BTA learning is not only dependent on the process at TPQ but is also influenced by parental involvement at home. The synergy between the family and educational institutions is crucial in improving the quality of Qur'an learning and shaping a morally upright generation.

This study aims to identify and analyze effective learning strategies for improving Qur’an reading and writing skills among elementary school students. The ability to read and write the Qur’an serves as an essential foundation for students’ spiritual, moral, and cognitive development, shaping their Islamic character from an early age. This research employs a descriptive approach using a literature study method that reviews various sources, including books, journals, and previous studies related to Qur’an learning at the elementary school level. The findings indicate that a combination of several innovative strategies proves to be highly effective in enhancing Qur’an literacy skills. These strategies include the use of engaging and interactive digital learning media, the application of contextual learning approaches that connect Qur’anic teachings to students’ daily lives, and the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning model to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, strengthening students’ intrinsic motivation through a supportive and religious learning environment plays a crucial role in maintaining learning interest and discipline. The integrated implementation of these strategies not only improves students’ technical ability to read and write the Qur’an but also reinforces their character, responsibility, and spiritual awareness in the context of Islamic education at the elementary level.

This community service activity was carried out in the form of the Studi Al-Qur’an Intensif (SAINS) program as an effort to empower Qur’anic literacy among students of Universitas Negeri Makassar. The program focused on improving the ability to read and write the Qur’an, considering that some students still lacked the skill to read properly and correctly according to the rules of tajwīd. The implementation methods included a preliminary test of Qur’anic reading and writing skills, intensive mentoring through study groups, the application of the talaqqī method, and periodic evaluation through a final test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ ability to read and write the Qur’an, a strengthened understanding of basic tajwīd, and an increased spiritual motivation to become closer to the Qur’an. In addition, the program successfully fostered a collaborative and sustainable Qur’anic learning atmosphere within the campus environment. Thus, SAINS proved to be an effective means of empowering students’ Qur’anic literacy while instilling religious values as a provision for both academic and social life.

This study departs from the urgency of early childhood religious education as the foundation for shaping religious and moderate character. The lack of Qur’an learning facilities and qualified teachers in Karang Mulya Village has hindered children aged 6–10 years in mastering Qur’anic literacy skills, even though this stage is considered a golden period of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor development. To address this issue, the research employed a qualitative descriptive method combined with a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach, which allowed the teaching process to be linked with practical and contextual activities. Data were collected through direct observation, structured interviews with parents and teachers, and careful documentation of student progress. The analysis was carried out through systematic steps of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal significant improvements in children’s ability to recognize, read, and write hijaiyah letters, although variations remain, particularly in creativity and independence. Furthermore, Qur’anic literacy activities meaningfully contributed to strengthening the understanding of religious moderation values, such as national commitment, tolerance, anti-violence, and acceptance of local culture. In conclusion, student service activities through Qur’anic literacy not only enhanced technical skills but also functioned as an effective medium for building religious moderation foundations from an early age.

Basic literacy issues remain a global challenge, as evidenced by the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which place Indonesia at a low rank in reading proficiency. This condition highlights the urgency of literacy as a fundamental competency for elementary school students, particularly in Indonesia. A similar phenomenon is observed in the city of Semarang, where students demonstrate low reading interest, limited access to reading materials, and reliance on conventional teaching methods. In this context, the presence of the SOUL Literacy Community holds strategic potential to support the enhancement of students’ reading and writing skills. This community service initiative aims to empower the SOUL Literacy Community by strengthening the capacities of teachers, students, and the community in developing literacy programs. The methods employed include Participatory Action Research (PAR) and Participatory Community Appraisal (PCA), implemented through preparation, training, mentoring, and evaluation stages. The program results indicate increased community capacity in formulating literacy agendas, improved student interest and skills in reading and writing, and enhanced teacher confidence in applying interactive literacy strategies. Furthermore, the program successfully established a participatory literacy model that strengthens school–community collaboration and can be replicated in other regions. In conclusion, this initiative contributes to the development of a sustainable literacy ecosystem and supports the achievement of SDG 4 on quality education.

This community service activity was carried out with the primary objective of improving the Qur'an reading skills of the women of the Majelis Taklim (Islamic study group) through systematically designed intensive training. Reading the Qur'an properly and correctly is an obligation for every Muslim, but in reality, many people, especially the women of the Majelis Taklim (Islamic study group), still face obstacles in aspects of makhraj, tajwid, and fluency. This condition encourages the need for a targeted coaching program to improve the quality of Qur'an reading, so that the values ​​of Islamic teachings can be understood and practiced more accurately. The training was held in early July 2025 with a total of 35 participants from the Majelis Taklim (Islamic study group) with diverse reading ability backgrounds. The methods used included lectures, demonstrations, reading practice, individual guidance, and ongoing evaluation at each meeting. This approach was chosen so that participants not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical skills that can be immediately applied. Evaluation was carried out through observing reading ability, courage to ask questions, and active participation in group exercises. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in the participants' Qur'an reading skills, both in terms of letter pronunciation, application of Tajweed rules, and fluency in reading holy verses. The participants' enthusiasm was evident in their eagerness to participate in all sessions, their sincerity in practicing, and their active interaction during the learning process. Furthermore, this activity also fostered new motivation for participants to continue improving their reading quality independently and create a conducive learning environment in the Islamic study groups. Thus, this training proves that the right learning strategy, supported by high motivation from participants, can have a positive and sustainable impact on improving the quality of Quran reading. It is hoped that this type of program can be replicated in other Islamic study groups so that its benefits are even broader for the community.
