Abstract

This study examines integrating spiritual and pedagogical strategies in Qur’anic memorization (tahf?dz) at two Pesantren in Metro City, Indonesia, addressing gaps in comparative research on spiritually oriented versus target-driven approaches. Employing a qualitative multi-case design, data from observations, interviews with participants, and document analysis were thematically analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model. Results revealed distinct strategies: the spiritually oriented pesantren emphasized sincerity, tahajjud prayers, and non-coercive enrollment, relying on intensive repetition and daily assessments, while the target-driven institution prioritized structured scheduling, multi-method techniques (e.g., talaqqi, wahdah), and measurable goals. Both shared strengths in consistent murâja’ah (repetition), moral reinforcement, and structured routines, highlighting the efficacy of combining spiritual intentionality (tarbiyah ruhiyah) with systematic pedagogy. The study concludes that harmonizing spiritual devotion with pedagogical structure enhances Qur’anic memorization, offering a replicable framework for Islamic education. Practical recommendations include adopting hybrid models balancing intrinsic motivation with methodological diversity, and integrating digital tools for retention. Future research should explore the longitudinal impacts and diverse institutional contexts to refine educational approaches
