Strategi Murajaah al-Quran bagi Huffaz di Peringkat Tertiari [Strategies in Murajaah al-Quran for Huffaz at The Tertiary Level]

Abstract

Pendidikan tahfiz al-Quran di negara ini melahirkan ramai huffaz lepasan sekolah menengah dan akan memasuki universiti bagi melanjutkan pengajian ke peringkat tertiari. Di peringkat tertiari, mereka tidak lagi mempunyai pembimbing al-Quran serta bebas untuk menyusun aktiviti harian. Sebagai pelajar pra-siswazah, para huffaz al-Quran akan sibuk dalam hal ehwal akademik, tidak mempunyai persekitaran yang kondusif bagi pengekalan hafazan dan sering berhadapan masalah pengurusan masa. Justeru, timbul persoalan sejauh manakah huffaz di peringkat tertiari ini mampu murajaah al-Quran bagi menjaga dan mengekalkan hafazan al-Quran. Sehubungan itu, kertas kerja ini mengenal pasti isu-isu dan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh huffaz di peringkat tertiari serta merumuskan strategi yang perlu dimplementasi dalam usaha mereka mengekalkan hafazan. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif yang menggunakan pendekatan analisis kandungan. Kajian dibuat dengan kaedah analisis dokumen, manakala analisis data dilakukan secara bertema. Kertas kerja ini menggariskan lima isu utama yang menjadi permasalahan huffaz dalam mengekalkan hafazan al-Quran. Selain itu, kertas kerja ini turut mencadangkan enam strategi yang menjadi tonggak kepada huffaz di peringkat tertiari untuk komited melakukan murajaah al-Quran. Implikasi kajian ini memberi panduan kepada pihak berautoriti untuk merangka strategi pembelajaran yang komprehensif bagi memaksimumkan potensi huffaz di peringkat tertiari.

Tahfiz al-Quran education in Malaysia has produced numerous secondary school huffaz who would be enrolling into universities to further their tertiary studies. At the tertiary level, they would not have anyone to guide them on the Quran besides being free to organise their daily activities. As undergraduate students, they would be busy with academic matters, not having a conducive environment for murajaah al-Quran and often having trouble in time management. Hence, the question is how far the huffaz at the tertiary level are capable of performing murajaah to keep the memorisation of al-Quran. Therefore, this paper identifies issues and challenges faced by the huffaz at the tertiary institutions and formulates strategies that could be implemented in efforts to retain their Quranic memorisation. This study is qualitative in nature and used the content analysis approach, which employed the document analysis method, while the data were analysed thematically. This study had identified five main issues that were presumed to be problems for the huffaz in retaining their memorisation of al-Quran. Besides that, this study propose six strategies that are vital for the huffaz to be committed to engage in murajaah activities. The implication of this paper will give guidelines to the authorities to design a comprehensive learning strategy by maximising the potential of the huffaz at the tertiary level.
