This study aims to analyze the influence of the Wafa method, learning motivation, and the interaction between the Wafa method and learning motivation on the ability of makhārijul huruf among fifth-grade students at Al-Washliyah 15 Elementary School Medan. This research is a quantitative study using a quasi-experimental approach with a 2×2 factorial design. The independent variables are the learning methods (Wafa and Iqra’) and learning motivation (high and low), while the dependent variable is the students’ ability in makhārijul huruf. The research subjects consisted of 16 students. Data were collected through tests and questionnaires, and analyzed using two-way ANOVA. The results show that: (1) the Wafa method has a significant effect on students’ makhārijul huruf ability, with a significance value of 0.000 0.05; (2) learning motivation has a significant effect on students’ makhārijul huruf ability, with a significance value of 0.000 0.05; and (3) there is an interaction between the Wafa method and learning motivation in influencing students’ makhārijul huruf ability. These findings indicate that the Wafa method is more effective in improving makhārijul huruf ability, particularly among students with high learning motivation.
