Difficulties in learning to read the Qur’an among adults do not always stem from the quality of teaching materials or instructors, but are often caused by the use of learning methods that are not appropriate to adult learners’ characteristics. Adults possess distinct psychological, physiological, and experiential backgrounds that require learning approaches different from those used for children. Monotonous and rigid instructional methods may hinder motivation and limit learning outcomes, particularly in Qur’anic literacy education. This condition is further compounded by physical limitations commonly experienced by adults and the elderly, such as dental and oral health problems, as well as strong regional language accents that affect pronunciation accuracy. In response to these challenges, the Tsaqifa method was developed as an alternative and practical approach specifically designed for adult beginners who have little or no prior ability to read the Qur’an. This method emphasizes simplicity, flexibility, and learner-centered instruction, enabling participants to gradually improve their Qur’anic reading skills in a supportive and non-intimidating learning environment. Through its application, adult learners are encouraged to regain confidence and motivation in studying the Qur’an, thereby contributing to efforts to reduce Qur’anic illiteracy among adult and elderly communities, particularly in rural areas.

This study examines the influence of earnings quality and dividend policy on firm value at PT Alkindo Naratama Tbk during the period 2014–2024. Firm value is measured using the Price to Book Value (PBV), earnings quality is proxied by the ratio of operating cash flow to net income (QOE), and dividend policy is measured using the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR). This research adopts a quantitative approach with an associative causal design using secondary data obtained from the company’s quarterly financial reports over eleven years, resulting in 44 observations. The analysis method applied is multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that earnings quality has a positive and significant impact on firm value. Dividend policy also shows a positive and significant effect on firm value. Simultaneously, earnings quality and dividend policy significantly influence firm value. The coefficient of determination indicates that a large proportion of firm value variation can be explained by these two variables. These results support signaling theory, which suggests that high earnings quality and stable dividend distribution provide positive signals to investors and increase market confidence in the company. The study contributes to financial management literature by highlighting the importance of financial performance indicators in determining firm value.
