<![CDATA[Accurate Qur’anic reading requires appropriate modelling, repeated practice, and direct correction of pronunciation and tajwid. This community service activity was conducted at TPQ Baiturrahim, Korong Durian Bukur, Nagari Batu Gadang Kuranji Hulu, Sungai Geringging District, Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra. The partner institution serves approximately 40 male and female students ranging from preschool age to junior secondary school, with different levels of Qur’anic reading ability, from Iqra’ to the Qur’an, and is supported by two teachers. The activity aimed to strengthen students’ Qur’anic reading through talaqqi and musyafahah-based mentoring while assisting the teachers in providing more intensive recitation guidance. The activity employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach through observation, coordination with the partner, planning, small-group mentoring, recitation assessment, evaluation, reflection, and follow-up. The mentoring was integrated into the regular learning schedule after Maghrib prayer until before Isha prayer. Students were grouped according to their reading levels, with approximately two students assisted by one student mentor. The mentoring process consisted of modelling the recitation, student practice, direct correction of makhraj and tajwid, tahsin explanation, and repeated practice. Observations indicated gradual development in pronunciation accuracy, application of tajwid rules, reading fluency, willingness to recite before the mentor, and participation in learning activities. The involvement of university students strengthened the intensity of mentoring without replacing the existing role of the TPQ teachers. The program can be sustained through regular recitation assessment, repeated tajwid and tahsin practice, and periodic evaluation by the teachers.]]>
