Abstract

The advancement of digital technology in the 21st century has transformed various aspects of education, including Islamic learning institutions. This transformation presents both challenges and opportunities for Qur'an memorization (tahfīẓ) programs that must balance spiritual authenticity with technological innovation to remain relevant to the digital generation. Traditional tahfīẓ practices, particularly repetition (tikrār) and direct recitation (ṭalāqqī), have long demonstrated effectiveness in ensuring accuracy and depth of memorization. However, these approaches are time-consuming and less responsive to learner diversity, especially within inclusive education settings that accommodate students with differing abilities. This qualitative research adopted a case-study approach at the Hamalatul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School, Jogoroto Jombang, specifically within the HQ Camp Children Dormitory, to examine how digital tools and monitoring systems were integrated into the Qur'an memorization process. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observations to explore the pedagogical, technological, and social dimensions of digital integration. The findings indicate that digital innovation enhances student engagement and retention, enables adaptive and individualized learning, including for children with special needs, and strengthens collaboration between teachers, parents, and administrators through a real-time digital monitoring platform. Despite infrastructure constraints and varying levels of digital literacy among educators, integrating technology supports the creation of an inclusive, efficient, and contextually relevant tahfīẓ education model. This study contributes to the broader discourse on the digital transformation of Islamic education. It highlights technology's potential to enable equity and quality in Qur'anic learning.
