<![CDATA[Quranic education plays a crucial role in shaping the spiritual, moral, and character foundations of young Muslims. The ability to read the Quran from an early age is not only related to technical skills but also serves as a means of internalizing Islamic values that strengthen children's faith and morals. One form of non-formal education that plays a significant role in this process is afternoon Quranic study activities, which still exist in various rural areas. This study aims to analyse the role of afternoon Quranic study activities in developing children's Quranic reading skills in Selemak Village, Hamparan Perak District. These activities are carried out simply under the guidance of a female teacher who adapts teaching methods to each child's individual abilities. The results show that afternoon Quranic study activities not only improve the technical aspects of Quranic reading such as pronunciation, pronunciation, and tajwid—but also foster learning motivation, discipline, and religious character through learning in a family-like and spiritual atmosphere. However, challenges remain, such as limited Quranic study teachers, limited learning facilities, and the influence of children's modern lifestyles in the digital era. Therefore, innovation in learning methods and collaboration between teachers, parents, and the community are needed to ensure that afternoon Quranic recitation activities remain relevant and effective as a community-based Islamic educational platform. Thus, afternoon Quranic recitation activities can be viewed as an integral part of the Islamic education system, not only fostering Quranic reading skills but also shaping a Quranic generation with noble morals, Islamic personalities, and the ability to face the challenges of modernity]]>
