<![CDATA[The ability to recite the Qur'an in accordance with the rules of tajwid is a fundamental competency that should be possessed by every Muslim, including children who are studying the Qur'an. However, the learning process still reveals errors in the pronunciation of makhraj (points of articulation), characteristics of letters (ṣifat al-ḥuruf), and the application of tajwid rules, particularly in the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah. This community service program aimed to improve children's tahsin skills in reciting Surah Al-Fatihah through a training program conducted at Rumah Tahfiz Tapian Kandih. The program employed an educational and participatory approach consisting of material presentation, guided recitation practice, individualized corrective feedback, and evaluation. The activities were carried out on July 2 and July 8, 2026, involving 15 participants. Data were collected through observation, recitation practice, and documentation, and were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The findings indicated that prior to the training, eight participants mispronounced the geminated letter ra in the words ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim, two participants incorrectly pronounced the letter lam in the phrase al-ḥamdu lillah, while the remaining participants experienced difficulties in applying vowel length (madd) and pronouncing the letters sad, dad, and ʿayn. Following the training, participants demonstrated noticeable improvement in the accuracy of their recitation, although continuous practice was still required to maintain consistent performance. This program contributes by offering a practical tahsin training approach that integrates theoretical instruction, guided recitation practice, and individualized corrective feedback as an alternative learning strategy to support the improvement of Qur'anic recitation skills among children in Qur'anic learning centers (TPQ) and similar institutions.
