Ramadan Da'wah Safari in Improving Motivation to Learn the Qur'an

Community service activities packaged in Safari Da'wah are carried out to increase children's motivation to learn the Qur'an. This problem happens because of children's low ability to read the Qur'an correctly and the low motivation of children to learn the Qur'an. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) method was used to overcome the existing problems and motivate children to continue learning the Qu'ran. Tahsin activities, learning Iqra' and tahfizh with interesting methods are expected to provide significant changes to children who cannot read the Qur'an or still stammer in reading the Qur'an and improve the quality and quantity of children's memorisation. The activities carried out for 15 days can be said to be successful in improving the quality of children's reading and memorisation of the Qur'an and motivating them to continue learning the Qur'an, as seen at the end of the program with their good and fluent reading.


Introduction
Sidoharjo I Pasar Miring Village is in Pagar Merbau Sub-district, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province.Based on 2018 data, the population of Pasar Miring Village is 5,544 people, 5,516 of whom are Muslims, and only 28 people are Christians. 1 Based on this data, it can be said that this village has a majority Muslim population.Mosques are also built evenly throughout the village to support worship and religious activities.
In general, the people of Sidoharjo I Market Village have a religious attitude a spirit of worship, and are hardworking and open-minded.The Qur'an was revealed as a guide for humanity in living in the world and as a provision for the afterlife.As Allah Ta'ala said: "The month of Ramadan, the month in which is revealed (the beginning of) the Quran as a guidance for mankind and an explanation of that guidance and a distinction (between the right and the wrong)." 2 Since the Qur'an is the foundation of Muslims in carrying out life, basic Qur'anic education must be provided early.   addition, learning the Qur'an from an early age will also give birth to a generation that gets the title of the best of the people.As said by the Messenger of Allah Rasulullah Shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam: "The best of you are those who learn and teach the Qur'an."(Narrated by Bukhari 5027) 4 Based on the observations of the STAI As-Sunnah Community Service Program team, the phenomenon of children's low ability to read the Qur'an correctly and the low motivation of children in learning the Qur'an were found.It is strongly suspected that children's widespread use of smartphones and the lack of parental supervision mean that opportunities to learn Islam and the Qur'an are less prioritized.
Although the population of Sidoharjo I Pasar Miring Village is predominantly Muslim, children and even parents there tend to be weak in their ability to read the Qur'an.This problem is due to the poor reading of the prayer leader and children who do not receive Qur'anic learning in their neighborhood, so when they read the Qur'an, it is still not good from the mahkarijul letters and the laws.This STAI As-Sunnah Community Service Program aims to increase the motivation to learn the Qur'an for children due to the lack of time to learn the Qur'an and the lack of supervision and attention of parents to children's religious education.To achieve this goal, the STAI As-Sunnah Community Service Program team compiled several programs to increase motivation to learn the Qur'an.This activity aims to teach children how to read the Qur'an properly and correctly.
The method used in community service activities in this field work program is Participatory Action Research (PAR).The Participatory Action Research (PAR) method is a method whose process is for learning to overcome problems and meeting the practical needs of the community, as well as the production of science and the process of religious social change. 7 In the study of participatory action research, there are at least 6 types of completion: formative, system improvement, problem-solving model analysis, participatory, and critical corporate self-consciousness. 8 One type of PAR method carried out in this activity is problem-solving because it is considered most relevant to efforts to solve problems found in the field.Some activities carried out during the Ramadan safari are expected to solve the problem of weak motivation and quality of children's Qur'an reading in Sidoharjo I Pasar Miring Village.

Result and Discussion
Based on the problem found in the field, namely the low ability of children to read the Qur'an correctly and the low motivation of children in learning the Qur'an.It is strongly suspected that due to children's rampant use of smartphones and the lack of parental supervision, opportunities to learn Islam and the Qur'an tend to be less prioritized.KKL team compiled programs expected to solve these problems and foster public awareness to pay attention to early learning of the Qur'an.

Learning the Qur'an with the Iqra' Method Through learning to read the Qur'an, children can recognize hijaiyah letters, memorize letter sounds, and read words and sentences in Arabic.With this provision, they will later be able to read the Qur'an properly and correctly.When children can read sentences, they can practice reading the Qur'an short and long verses with the correct tajweed and articulation according to the rules.It will be easy to learn the theories in tajweed, even though only in simple forms, such as the basic laws of lam sukun, tanwin, nun sukun, mad, and sukun.Through learning to read and write the Qur'an, children can master and understand the properties of the hijaiyah letters in a basic way, and children will also be able to read the rhythm and memorize the Qur'an according to the applicable rules. 11 The Iqra' method is a way of learning to read the Qur'an without spelling, but students are given a teacher's example.Students immediately learn to read one, two, or three letters, then words or sentences accompanied by pronouncing the correct letters.K.H. initiated the Iqra' method.As'ad Humam from the national LPTQ Research and Development Centre of the AMM Yogyakarta Qur'an Tadarus Team. 12e iqro' method is a special program for children who do not have the knowledge and ability to read the Qur'an.We conducted this program at the Amaliyah Mosque in Sidoharjo 1 Pasar Miring Village, Pagar Merbau Sub-District, Deli Serdang District, North Sumatra.The implementation time of this program is from 26 March to 9 April (15 days).We carry out this program every aftertaste.After tarawih, alhamdulillah, This program has been run and attended by around 7-10 participants, divided into 2-3 halaqah during the activity program.
It is known that a person will not be able to read the Qur'an properly and correctly according to the rules of reading if he has never learned and knows the basic knowledge in reading the Qur'an, namely about Makharijul Letters.Therefore, in this program, we strongly emphasize and focus on the material on how to pronounce the hijaiyyah letters.In Makhraj material, children are trained to pronounce letters according to their nature and place of release from Alif, Ba', Ta,' Tsa to Ya.' The teaching methods are 1) Modeling letter by letter.2) Children listen and imitate in turn.3) Inviting children to ask questions if there is still an explanation that has not been understood.Among the forms of da'wah Safari activities in increasing motivation to learn the Qur'an are Tahsin tilawah Al-Qur'an (Improvement of reading the Qur'an), Iqra' Method and Memorising and Muroja'ah short chapters, Tahsin tilawah Al-Qur'an (Improvement of reading the Qur'an) is focused on children who have completed learning in the Iqra' method this activity focuses on discussing the laws of reading such as ikhfa', idgam, idzar and others.The Iqra' method is a way of learning to read the Qur'an without spelling, and this method focuses on makharijul huruf, namely how to pronounce the hijaiyyah letters properly and correctly, then memorizing and muroja'ah short surahs, memorizing short surahs and muroja'ah because these short surahs will be the basic provision for each child.

The STAI As-Sunnah Community Service Program team found positive developments in the children before and after the program.Most of them who previously still could not pronounce the hijaiyyah letters correctly, alhamdulillah, now have begun to recognize the hijaiyyah letters and can pronounce them.However, of course, not 100% of the children have progressed and succeeded in following our programs.However, it is hoped that this Ramadan Safari Activity can encourage the children to continue learning the Qur'an.
