THE TABARAK METHOD IN QUR’AN MEMORIZING

A MULTISENSORY STUDY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD

Abstract

This study is based on the need to develop Qur’an memorization (tahfidz) methods that are suitable for early childhood during the golden age. Conventional methods tend to rely on repetitive verbal techniques and often fail to engage young learners effectively. However, studies examining multisensory-based tahfidz methods, particularly the Tabarak method, remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the planning, implementation, evaluation, and influencing factors of the Tabarak method in early childhood Qur’an memorization. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted at Markaz Tahfidz Balita Ibnu Abza in Padang City. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the Tabarak method is implemented systematically through structured memorization targets, multisensory learning (sima’i, tasmi’, and repetition), and continuous evaluation. Supporting factors include a conducive learning environment, teacher commitment, and parental involvement, while inhibiting factors include differences in children's characteristics and inconsistent assistance at home. In conclusion, the Tabarak method is effective as a multisensory-based approach and can serve as an adaptive model for early childhood Qur’an memorization.
