Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an (TPQ) Musholla Nurul Ikhlas Padang Jua, Kabupaten Agam, Sumatera Barat. Kegiatan ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya motivasi santriwan dan santriwati dalam mengikuti kegiatan mengaji secara rutin serta masih terbatasnya kemampuan membaca Al-Qur’an sesuai kaidah tajwid. Tujuan pengabdian ini adalah meningkatkan motivasi kehadiran santri dan kemampuan membaca Al-Qur’an melalui pendekatan personal dan partisipatif. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan dengan penjemputan santri ke rumah masing-masing, pembiasaan shalat Magrib berjamaah di TPQ, serta kegiatan mengaji secara bergiliran. Selain pembelajaran membaca Al-Qur’an, kegiatan ini juga disertai pemberian motivasi melalui cerita Islami dan pengalaman personal. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kehadiran santri, semangat belajar yang lebih tinggi, serta perbaikan kemampuan membaca Al-Qur’an. Kegiatan ini berkontribusi dalam membentuk karakter Qur’ani sejak usia dini dan menegaskan pentingnya peran guru, orang tua, masyarakat, serta mahasiswa dalam mendukung pendidikan keagamaan.
This community service activity was conducted at the Nurul Ikhlas Qur’anic Education Park (TPQ) in Padang Jua, Agam Regency, West Sumatra. The program was motivated by the low attendance of students in regular Qur’an recitation activities and their limited ability to read the Qur’an according to proper tajwid rules. This activity aimed to increase students’ motivation to attend TPQ and improve their Qur’an reading skills through a personal and participatory approach. The methods implemented included picking up students from their homes, encouraging congregational Maghrib prayers at the TPQ, and organizing rotating Qur’an recitation sessions. In addition to Qur’an learning, motivational support was provided through Islamic stories and personal experiences to foster students’ interest in learning the Qur’an. The results showed an increase in student attendance, higher learning enthusiasm, and gradual improvement in Qur’an reading ability. This community service contributes to the development of Qur’anic character from an early age and highlights the importance of collaboration among teachers, parents, the community, and university students in strengthening religious education.
