PENDEKATAN PENGAJARAN AL-QURAN BUAT WARGA EMAS MENURUT HADITH RASULULLAH ﷺ

Abstract

Quranic classes are one of the available options for the elderly. However, there is a worrying trend where only the same students are registering for these classes, and even their number is declining. This situation is seen not only in mosques but also in welfare homes for the elderly. Investigations have revealed various contributing factors for this phenomenon. For example, the approach used by teachers is not appropriate to the levels of physical, cognitive, and psychological abilities of the elderly. Therefore, this study aims to propose a specific approach to teaching al-Quran for the elderly based on the hadiths of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. The library research method was used to select the hadiths that can be used as a reference in developing a suitable aproach for Quran teachers who teach the elderly. Using an appropriate approach for the elderly is imperative, as the wrong approach will discourage them from studying the Quran, ultimately leading to withdrawal from the classes.
