Implementation of the Munaqosyah Hifzhul Qur’an at SMP Al-Siddiq International
SMP Al-Siddiq International once again held the Munaqosyah Hifzhul Qur’an as part of its character-building programme and the strengthening of Qur’anic values for all students. This activity took place in the School Library from 24 to 28 November 2025, in an atmosphere that was solemn, orderly, and filled with enthusiasm from the participants. Over the five-day period, students attended the munaqosyah in turns to have their Qur’an memorisation assessed directly. They recited in front of Qur’an teachers who served as examiners, applying strict and professional assessment standards. The panel of examiners was led by Ust. Ahmad Toha, M.Ag., and included Ust. Abdul Aziz, S.Pd., Ustadzah Retno Suzanne Handayani, Lc., Ustadzah Mila Febri Wahyuni, Lc., and Ustadzah Diah Santikawati, S.Pd. The examiners assessed not only the accuracy of memorisation but also the fluency of recitation, correctness of tajwid, proper application of elongation (mad), and makharij al-huruf (points of articulation). In this way, participants were required to demonstrate not only their ability to memorise but also the quality of their Qur’anic recitation in accordance with correct principles. This munaqosyah reflects SMP Al-Siddiq International’s commitment to creating an educational environment closely connected to the teachings of the Holy Qur’an. Through this activity, the school hopes that students will not only memorise the Qur’an, but also love and practise its teachings in their daily lives. This annual programme also serves as a moment of evaluation and motivation for students to enhance their memorisation and improve the quality of their recitation. With the support of competent Qur’an teachers, SMP Al-Siddiq International continues its efforts to nurture a young generation that is intelligent, well-mannered, and imbued with Qur’anic values.By Umair Shoddiq, S.I.kom
