<![CDATA[This study examines the effect of Qur’an memorization on the formation of Qur’anic character in early childhood at Suturuzzhulam School, Tembung, from Buya Hamka’s perspective. Using a quantitative Pre-Experimental One-Group Pretest-Posttest design, data were collected from 20 first-grade students selected through saturated sampling via questionnaires, observation, and documentation, then analyzed with descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. Results show a significant increase in memorization scores, from a pretest mean of 11.35 to a posttest mean of 70.35 (t = 6.83 > t table 2.093, α = 0.05), with 13 of 20 students completing Juz 30. The tahfiz program also fostered religious, disciplined, responsible, patient, and respectful character traits, though character development was significantly higher at school (49.0%) than at home (40.0%) (t = 2.78). These findings support Buya Hamka’s view that Qur’anic character formation must begin early through instilling tauhid and sustained habituation, indicating that parental involvement at home needs to be strengthened.]]>
