<![CDATA[This community service initiative took the form of an after-Maghrib teaching program designed to provide guidance in Quranic studies for local children. The activity was motivated by the importance of establishing a regular religious learning environment outside of school hours specifically to foster the habit of reading the Quran and to introduce children to short surahs (chapters) for memorization. A direct mentoring approach was employed, utilizing a simple, relaxed learning process tailored to the children's abilities. Sessions were held from Monday to Thursday provided there were no conflicting scheduled activities and rotated between the Kajai Surau (prayer hall) and the local activity post. The curriculum alternated between Quranic recitation sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the reading and repetition of short *surahs* on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Evaluation was based on observing the children's active participation, their engagement in reading, and their ability to follow the provided recitations. The results indicate that consistent mentoring encouraged children to participate more actively in Quranic studies and helped establish a habit of studying the Quran after Maghrib. The initiative’s contribution lies in its application of a simple, flexible mentoring model adaptable to local settings and conditions. It is hoped that this program will help sustain the habit of Quranic recitation and religious learning among children in the community.]]>
