<![CDATA[Al-Qur’an instruction at the madrasah ibtidaiyah (Islamic elementary school) level focuses not only on reading ability but also on accurate letter pronunciation, the application of tajwid (recitation rules), fluency, tartil (measured, rhythmic recitation), and the correct application of recitation techniques. One method employed is the Bil Qolam method, developed by KH. Muhammad Basori Alwi Murtadho. This method is rooted in the Jibril method and utilizes the talqin-taqlid technique, wherein the teacher provides a recitation example and students imitate it repeatedly. This study aims to analyze students' recitation quality, the implementation of Al-Qur’an instruction using the Bil Qolam method, and the factors supporting or hindering its execution at MI Taswirul Afkar 01 Surabaya. The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Research informants included the school principal, the Bil Qolam coordinator, and Bil Qolam teachers. Data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation and technique triangulation. The results indicate that the implementation of Al-Qur’an instruction via the *Bil Qolam method is proceeding well. Students' recitation quality is evident in their ability to read according to the specific volume level, the accuracy of makhraj (articulation points) and letter characteristics, the application of tajwid rules, tartil, waqaf (pausing) and ibtida’ (starting), as well as reading fluency. The method is implemented through teacher modeling, student imitation, and repetition until the student's recitation meets the required standards. Supporting factors include teacher competence and student enthusiasm, while hindering factors include student passivity, issues with the discipline of some teachers, a lack of parental support, and limited program development from Bil Qolam partners]]>
