This study aims to analyze tahfiz teachers' strategies for increasing students' interest in Qur'an memorization at the MTs level in Darul Haq Islamic Boarding School, Jambi. A descriptive qualitative approach with a field research design was employed. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and document analysis, then processed using Miles & Huberman's interactive model. Findings reveal that effective tahfiz teacher strategies synergistically combine three approaches: an affective approach through personal motivation and emotional reinforcement, a spiritual approach through internalization of worship values and teacher role modeling, and a technical-methodical approach through the application of talaqqi, tikrar, tasmi', and muraja'ah methods. A religious boarding school environment and peer group support serve as the main facilitating factors, while dense schedules, methodological monotony, limited facilities, and disproportionate teacher-student ratios are the primary barriers. Recommendations include optimizing time management, diversifying instructional methods, improving teacher training, and strengthening family involvement in students' memorization process.
