Abstract

Students’ ability to memorize the Qur’an still faces challenges due to the limitations of conventional teaching methods and media, making it necessary to develop more interactive alternative media. This study aims to develop the Maqdis application and test its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in improving the memorization skills of 11th-grade students regarding Surah Al-Mu’minun, verses 12–14. The study employed the Research and Development (RD) method with a one-group pretest–posttest design, involving 21 students. Data on practicality were obtained through a student response questionnaire, while effectiveness was analyzed using pretest–posttest results and the N-Gain measure. The results indicate that the Maqdis app is valid according to experts, highly practical with an 85% student response rate, and effective in improving memorization, with average scores rising from 50 to 88 and an N-Gain of 0.76 (high category). The integration of audio, verse content, video, and memorization features into a single app fosters a more meaningful memorization process. It can be concluded that the Maqdis app is suitable for use as a learning medium for the Qur’an and Hadith because it meets the criteria of being valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ memorization skills. This app can serve as an alternative solution for teachers to address the limitations of existing Qur’an memorization methods and media in schools.
