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.

Abstract

This study aims to discover three supporting components that contribute to the success of gifted students in Quran memorization, namely parental support, teacher support, and peer support. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected from twenty purposively selected gifted students actively engaged in Quranic memorization programs. In-depth interviews were conducted, and thematic analysis was performed using NVivo 12 software to identify recurring themes and patterns. The findings reveal that parental support is provided through motivation, emotional encouragement, a conducive environment, and active involvement in accompanying memorization. Teacher support is realized through systematic memorization techniques, continuous monitoring and evaluation, and motivational reinforcement. Peer support contributes through group memorization, healthy competition, and mutual moral encouragement. Overall, the success of Quran memorization among gifted students is strongly influenced by the synergy of family, school, and social environments. This study emphasizes that the integration of parental, teacher, and peer support is essential for designing systematic and comprehensive Quranic memorization programs, and the findings provide practical insights for educators and policymakers in strengthening tahfiz education as a medium for intellectual, moral, and spiritual development of gifted students.
