Encouragement, (3) Understanding and 4) Motivation. For example, the usage aspect is marked by the word use,
the encouragement aspect is shown by the word encourage, the understanding aspect through the word
understand, and the Motivation aspect with pleasure, pride and not shame. (Mohammad Fadzeli, 2012)
While 'Motivation' is defined as a picture or shadow in the heart or mind about something. The view through the
senses is also one of the definitions presented. In addition, Motivation can also be explained as an impression.
This definition was found to coincide with the scope of Motivation examined in the study conducted (KD. 2005)
and vice versa. According to a psychological perspective, Motivation means how we respond to all the
information we receive. This means that Motivation is a process of receiving information from various sources
for the purpose of interacting with the environment. Each Motivation will provide understanding and awareness
to individuals to be used in their lives. Therefore, if the information received is wrong and there is no effort to
find the truth, then at any time they can be exposed to making a wrong Motivation. Apart from receiving wrong
information, errors in making Motivations can also occur because they are too focused on old information and
do not pay attention to the latest things.
According to Abdullah and Ainon, Motivation is the interpretation of what the eyes see, or in other words,
Motivation is the meaning given to what the eyes see”. Motivation and belief factors can influence students'
conative or response to the learning process. For example, if students' Motivation of a subject is low, then they
will not give a high focus on that subject. Therefore, attitude and Motivation are two elements that are
interconnected with each other and should be studied together.
Problem Statement
The ability to read the Quran can be divided into two, namely the level of mastery and skill. For example, Ahmad
Rozaini Ali Hasan, Shadli Sabarudin & Che Bakar Che Mat (2010) studied the level of mastery of reading the
Quran among students at UiTM, Sarawak. A total of 128 students were selected to undergo a test of reading
aspects and knowledge of tajweed. As a result, 72% were in the moderate reading category and 36.91% were
weak in tajweed. The respondents were found to be unable to pronounce the letters of the Quran well. Sapie,
Baribah, Suhana & Mohamad (2018) also studied the level of mastery of reading the Quran among year 5 students
based on the khatam al-Quran and Tasmik j-Qof models. The study subjects consisted of 200 students. The results
of the study found that 70.6% mastered reading the Quran, while 19.9% were at a moderate level, and 9.5% were
at a weak level. This shows the effectiveness of the implementation of inputs and products to reach the standard
level. Another study was conducted by Abi Syafiq, Mohd Ikram, Uqbah & Ahmad Ibrahim (2019). The subjects
of the study were 50 pure science students based on the Quran learning method at the Cyberjaya Medical Sciences
University College. The results of the study showed that the level of mastery of the Quran among the respondents
was good. Norwardatun, Siti & Maisarah (2021) also studied the Quran reading skills among daily secondary
school students. This study used the method of collecting documentation from previous studies on Quran reading
skills. The results of the study found that despite having studied tajwid for 7 years, there were still many students
who had not mastered the Quran reading with tajwid. A further study was conducted by Norita Abd Aziz et al
(2021) on the mastery of the Quran with tahsin among 13 students at the Polytechnic. Based on the observation
method and the Quran reading checklist, the results of the study found that the respondents' mastery of the Quran
was increasing, especially in terms of makhraj, tajwid and songs.
Mohamed et al. (2012) in "Quran Mastery Class Towards the Development of the Quran Generation in Malaysia"
(Quran Mastery Class Towards the Development of the Quran Generation in Malaysia) identified several
influences including religious beliefs, educational background. , family support and resources. availability. These
factors all contribute to an individual's motivation and ability to engage with the Quran regularly. Shalihah (2020)
in "Program Pelekasan Mbaca dan Menulis Al-Quran di Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Hulu Sungai Tengah"
(Pelekasan Program Pelekasan Mbaca dan Menulis Al-Quran di Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Hulu Sungai Tengah)
focuses on a specific Quran. Quran reading program in religious schools. Their research highlights the importance
of a positive learning environment and effective teaching methods in enhancing the reading experience. By
comparing these studies, we gain a broader perspective. Mohamed et al. (2012) offer a basic understanding of the
motivating factors behind reading the Quran, while Shalihah (2020) shows how the structure of the program can
influence this experience. This combination of analyses paves the way for further research on promoting Quranic
reading in Malaysia.
