This study explores the implementation of the Syafa'ati method and participants' perceived experiences of Qur'an memorization at the female dormitory of Selaparang Islamic Boarding School. A qualitative field research design was employed to obtain an in-depth understanding of the memorization process within its natural setting. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentary review, and analyzed using the Interactive Model of Data Analysis proposed by Miles, Huberman, and SaldaƱa, which involves data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The credibility of the findings was strengthened through source and method triangulation. The findings show that the Syafa'ati method consisted of three interconnected stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. During the planning stage, memorization targets were adjusted to students' individual learning capacities. The implementation stage emphasized gradual guidance, small-group learning, and regular muroja'ah activities. At the same time, evaluation was carried out through Hifzoty books and per-juz assessments to monitor memorization accuracy and recitation fluency. Participants described the method as providing a structured memorization process that supported their motivation to learn, recitation fluency, and accuracy in applying the rules of tajwid and fashahah. Evidence from observations and documentary records likewise indicated that individualized targets, continuous guidance, and regular muroja'ah contributed to maintaining students' memorization routines. Within the context of this study, the Syafa'ati method was perceived as offering a systematic framework for supporting Qur'an memorization in the Islamic boarding school environment.
