One of the community service initiatives carried out by students participating in the Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN—Community Service Program) in Nagari III Koto Aur Melintang is tadarus (recitation) of the Al-Qur’an. This program was designed to provide guidance to children, helping them improve their Al-Qur’an recitation skills through direct instruction and personal mentoring. The initiative was developed in response to the varying levels of proficiency among the children; while some were already able to recite the verses of the Al-Qur’an well and fluently, others required further guidance—specifically to improve their fluency and refine the pronunciation of individual Arabic letters. The methodology employed included observation, preparation, practical sessions, mentoring, and evaluation. The sessions were held every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday for approximately one hour, spanning the time between the Maghrib and Isha prayers. The tadarus practice involved both group and individual recitation, during which the KKN students listened, provided examples of proper recitation, and helped correct any errors. The results indicate an increase in the children's participation: from three participants in the first week to five in the second, and over ten by the third week. Furthermore, the children have become more comfortable, confident, and active in the sessions, gaining consistent opportunities to practice and refine their Al-Qur’an recitation.
