The Maghrib-to-Isha period can support community-based Qur'anic learning when activities are directed, participatory, and adapted to children's reading abilities. This community service article evaluates the effectiveness of Maghrib Mengaji mentoring at the community service post in Jorong Batang Palupuah, Palupuah District, Agam Regency, on 12 June 2026. A qualitative case-study approach combined habituation and participatory mentoring through initial observation, flexible ability grouping, guided reading, individual correction, peer support, reflection, field notes, informal dialogue, and photographic documentation. Effectiveness was analyzed through goal attainment, integration, and adaptation, supported by the OECD evaluation perspective. The findings show immediate process-level achievements: children were more willing to read aloud, responded to pronunciation corrections, remained involved in small groups, and received assistance suited to their abilities. Integration appeared in supportive peer and facilitator interaction, while adaptation was reflected in flexible grouping and individualized correction. The program is qualitatively effective for short-term mentoring; however, no statistical claim is made because pre-test, post-test, verified participant count, and longitudinal data were unavailable.
