IMPLEMENTASI METODE UMMI DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEFASIHAN MEMBACA AL-QUR’AN PADA SISWA DI MI RUMAH QUR’ANI IMAM BUKHARI DI KOTA TERNATE

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Ummi method in improving Qur’anic reading fluency among sixth-grade students at MI Rumah Qur’ani Imam Bukhari, Ternate City. The background of the study arises from the low proficiency of students in reading the Qur’an with tartil, caused by a shift in learning focus in the digital era and limited spiritual engagement in learning. The Ummi method was selected because it offers a structured, comprehensive, and step-by-step approach that emphasizes early Qur’anic literacy through the talaqqi-musyafahah method. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The subjects include students, Qur’an teachers, the school principal, and the Ummi method coordinator. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, and validated through source and method triangulation. The findings reveal that the implementation of the Ummi method—through stages such as hijaiyah letter recognition, syllable merging, articulation training, and practical tajwid mastery—has significantly improved students’ fluency in reading the Qur’an. Most students showed clear progress, particularly in fluency, articulation accuracy, and tajwid application. The success of this method is supported by active teacher guidance, parental involvement at home, regular evaluations, and a supportive learning environment. The study concludes that the Ummi method contributes not only to technical Qur’anic reading skills but also to shaping students’ character and spirituality. It is therefore recommended as a relevant and replicable approach for madrasahs in strengthening long-term Qur’anic reading and writing programs.
