Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Taḥfīẓ House in building the Quranic generation. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection methods that include interviews and observation. The research was conducted in Musi Rawas Regency, where Musi Rawas Regency is currently one of the areas in South Sumatra-Indonesia which have the largest regional budget to implement the Taḥfīẓ House program. This research involved informants from parties who played an important role in managing the Taḥfīẓ housing program in Musi Rawas Regency. The results showed that the role of the Taḥfīẓ House in building the Quranic generation was obtained mainly through learning to read the Qur’ān according to the rules of tajwid and memorizing verse by verse. The existence of Taḥfīẓ Houses accustoms students to interacting with the Qur’ān, which then gradually familiarizes students with Islamic teachings as a whole. This encourages students to adhere to all that is commanded and simultaneously to abstain from that which is prohibited in religion. It also encourages students to hold firmly to the guidelines of Qur’ān and the ḥadīth of Rasūl'Allāh (b). The existence of the Taḥfīẓ House is part of the efforts of the community and the government to create a generation of Qur’ān.
