<![CDATA[A child's understanding of the proper etiquette for Quranic study is a crucial aspect of character and personality development, particularly for school-aged students. Various factors—such as cultural and technological shifts, evolving mindsets, and the demands of daily life—pose challenges for parents in providing adequate guidance to their children. This situation is evident among students at the Baitul Makmur Quran Education Center (TPQ/TPA) in Jorong Duo Koto, Nagari Guguak Malalo, Batipuah Selatan District, Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra. Many parents work in the fields from morning until midday or even late afternoon; consequently, exhaustion makes it difficult for them to supervise their children or support their Quran studies, leading to a lack of awareness regarding the proper etiquette for reading the Quran. This issue carries over into the TPQ itself, where students often display behaviors indicating a lack of understanding regarding proper conduct—such as chatting with peers while others are reciting, eating or chewing gum during lessons, failing to pay attention to the teacher, and not maintaining a respectful demeanor in the presence of the Quran. Reinforcing the understanding of Quranic reading etiquette is not solely the responsibility of educational institutions; it is a collective duty involving home-based habituation and community support. Guidance—through offering advice and gentle correction—is essential to help students cultivate proper behavior during their Quran studies. This enables the students at TPQ Baitul Makmur to put what they have learned into practice and be disciplined in their Quran recitation activities and avoid errors in reciting the Qur'an.]]>
