Abstract

Hospitality and guest service in Islam represent the embodiment of noble moral values as taught in the Quran and Hadith. This study aims to explore how Islamic teachings guide individuals in hosting and serving guests. Employing a qualitative method, this research adopts the living Quran and Hadith approach, drawing data from Islamic scriptures, the results of ijtihad, and expert opinions. The use of the living Quran method is based on Engkizar's theory, tailored to the thematic needs and objectives of the study. Additional insights are supported by previous research published in reputable international journals. Thematic analysis reveals that the Islamic practices of visiting and hosting guests are not merely symbolic acts but are rooted in a profound value system encompassing etiquette, social responsibility, and mutual respect. These findings indicate that such values remain highly relevant in reinforcing a socially conscious culture grounded in Islamic principles. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic ethics and offers insights into fostering respectful and compassionate interpersonal relationships.

Abstract

The teaching of the Quran requires teachers to master fundamental instructional skills comprehensively, as they are not merely transmitters of sacred texts but also facilitators of effective, interactive, and meaningful learning processes. Such mastery enables teachers to foster students’ motivation, improve the quality of recitation, and cultivate an emotional connection with the Quran. This study aims to examine the concept and practice of nine essential teaching skills in Quranic instruction and to explore how these skills are implemented in classroom settings. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach, data were drawn from theories, expert opinions, and the review of 120 relevant scholarly articles. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 software. The findings highlight nine core teaching skills that Quran teachers must acquire both theoretically and practically: i) openings and ii) closures enhance attentiveness and reflection, iii) explanation and iv) questioning strengthen comprehension and critical engagement, v) reinforcement and vi) variation sustain motivation, while vii) classroom management, viii) group discussions, ix) and individualized teaching foster discipline, collaboration, and inclusivity. This study contributes theoretically by strengthening the conceptual framework of basic teaching skills within Islamic education, and practically by offering insights for teacher training, curriculum development, and policy initiatives aimed at enhancing the quality of Quranic pedagogy in Islamic educational institutions.
