<![CDATA[The achievement of santri memorization targets in the Al-Qur’an tahfidz program often encounters various obstacles related to managerial aspects. This study aims to analyze the management of the Al-Qur’an tahfidz program and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in achieving santri memorization targets at Pesantren Al-Azkiya Malang. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation study. The research subjects included the pesantren caregiver, the tahfidz coordinator, supervising ustadz, and santri from each memorization target category. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the management of the tahfidz program at Pesantren Al-Azkiya Malang had been implemented systematically through the functions of planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision. The main supporting factors for the success of santri memorization included a conducive pesantren environment, disciplined scheduling, the active role of supervising ustadz, and a continuous evaluation system. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors included santri boredom, differences in individual ability, physical fatigue, and suboptimal time management, particularly among santri with high memorization targets. This study concludes that the successful achievement of santri memorization targets is determined not only by individual ability but is also strongly influenced by the effectiveness of tahfidz program management implemented in a planned and sustainable manner.]]>
