Abstract

The Quran is a miracle and a source of guidance for every Muslim, and therefore, the knowledge of the Quran must be taken seriously, starting with the recitation according to Tajweed. This study examines the level of knowledge regarding Quranic Tajweed among students of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). The main issue highlighted is the students' weakness in reciting the Quran in a proper and tajweed-compliant manner, which can have a negative impact on their commitment to reciting it and affect individual moral development as well as social aspects. The objective of this study is to identify the level of Quranic Tajweed knowledge among UTM students. The methodology used in this study is quantitative, utilizing a questionnaire distributed to 122 fourth-year students from the School of Education at UTM. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. The results of the study indicate that the level of Tajweed knowledge among students is still low, with only 15.2% of respondents able to recite the Quran well. The main factors identified include a lack of interest, a shortage of teachers, weak foundational Tajweed knowledge before entering university, and a lack of Quranic classes and time allocation to learn it. Suggestions for further research include a deeper investigation into the factors affecting Quranic knowledge and more effective approaches to improve Tajweed mastery among students.
