This community service program was motivated by the limited understanding among children and some residents of Kampung Tangah regarding the manners and ethics of reading the Qur'an, including personal purity, respect for the mushaf, proper sitting posture, and correct tajwid application. The program aimed to improve participants' understanding and awareness of Qur'anic reading etiquette and to encourage its application in daily social interaction, in order to attain complete reward, inner peace, and a reduction of negative social habits. A participatory mentoring and training approach was used, involving school-age children and the general community of Kampung Tangah, consisting of preparation, material delivery, guided practice, intensive mentoring, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. Results showed an increase in participants' understanding from an average of 58% to 87%, along with behavioral changes such as washing hands or performing ablution before touching the mushaf, sitting respectfully, and demonstrating more courteous social interaction. The program is concluded to be effective in strengthening spiritual awareness and improving the social character of the target community, and is recommended to continue through a sustainability program based on the local mosque and Qur'an education center (TPA).
