The ability to recite the Quran is a fundamental skill that is required to be mastered by every Muslim. However, there are still many university students whose Quran reading literacy is still very low. This study aims to analyze the Quran reading literacy among University Al-Azhar Indonesia (UAI) students, which indirectly also reflects the Quran reading literacy levels of urban students in the capital city of Jakarta. This research uses mixed method with a descriptive approach, as it is a field study aimed at exploring phenomena in the field through Quran reading tests. The population and sample consist of 693 undergraduate students from 19 study programs at UAI class of 2022-2023. The test results on 693 students showed that 14.43% (approximately 100 students) are categorize as unable to read the Quran. Meanwhile 85.57% (593 students) are categorized as able to read the Quran, although 19.89% of them achieved low scores. The findings indicate that the Quran reading literacy level among urban students at UAI remains relatively low. This is attributed to several factors, including internal factors such as discontinuing Quran learning after graduating from elementary or entering middle school, and external factors such as family and environmental influences.Keywords – Alquran, Literacy, Reading Ability, Urban Students.
