Abstract

Purpose – Amidst technological disruption and modern moral crises, the orientation of education and human development often becomes trapped in dry intellectual achievements detached from spiritual nobility. This article examines the intellectual-spiritual transformation toward the status of ulul albāb from a Qur'anic perspective. The study is prompted by the prevailing tendency to restrict the meaning of ulul albāb solely to intellectual superiority, whereas the Qur'an portrays it as a holistic human quality shaped by reflective reasoning, remembrance (żikr) of Allah, moral acuity, and ethical action. Methodology – This research employs a qualitative library research method with a thematic exegesis (tafsīr mawḍū‘ī) approach. The analysis focuses on verses containing the term ulul albāb and its related concepts, such as tafakkur, tadabbur, żikr, ḥikmah, and self-purification. To strengthen the interpretation, this article utilizes Tafsir Al-Azhar by Hamka, Tafsir al-Qur’ān al-‘Aẓīm by Ibn Kaṡīr, and verified journal articles from SINTA 1 and Scopus Q1 journals. Findings – The results demonstrate that the transformation toward ulul albāb occurs through two interconnected pathways. The first is intellectual transformation, characterized by the ability to read the signs of Allah (āyātullāh) in revelation, history, and creation, to distinguish truth (al-ḥaqq) from falsehood (al-bāṭil), and to build reasoned conviction. The second is spiritual transformation, characterized by remembrance (żikr), humility, soul purification (tazkiyah), accountability before Allah, and ethical consistency. Research implications/novelty – This article asserts that ulul albāb in the Qur'an is not merely a knowledgeable figure, but a holistic individual whose intellect is guided by faith and whose spirituality is deepened through contemplation. Originality/value – The study indicates that ulul albāb represents the Qur'anic ideal of human maturity formed by the integration of knowledge, faith, and ethics.

Abstract

The Taqwiyah Li Hifdzil Qur’an (THQ) Program is a Qur’anic memorization strengthening program organized as a form of community service through collaboration between MAN 22 West Jakarta Boarding School and the Center for Scientific Tafsir Studies Foundation (YaPASTI), which is affiliated with the Institute of Qur’anic Sciences (IIQ) Jakarta. This program aims to improve the quality of memorization, accuracy of tajwid, consistency of muroja’ah, and the formation of disciplined and independent character among female students (santriwati). The activity was held on January 13–17, 2026, at Bamboo Sanctuary, Pancawati, Bogor, using an intensive boarding-based mentoring model through five daily tahfidz sessions (ziyadah and tasmi’), qiyamul lail, dawn study (kajian subuh), and nightly progress evaluation. The methods applied included initial tahsin, structured memorization deposit, monitoring of tajwid and makharijul huruf, and individual progress recording. The results showed an improvement in both the quantity and quality of memorization for most participants, indicated by an increase in juz achievement, improved stability of recitation tempo, and better consistency in applying tajwid rules such as mad, ghunnah, ikhfa’, and idgham. Daily evaluation and mentoring by musyrifah played a significant role in maintaining participants’ motivation and focus on memorization. This THQ program demonstrates that an intensive tahfidz mentoring model based on institutional collaboration is effective in strengthening Qur’anic memorization while simultaneously shaping the Qur’anic character of santriwati. This program is recommended as a sustainable tahfidz development model for the boarding school system.
