Memorize Al-Qur’an in Kudus City

Kota Jenang is an utterance for Kudus City beside Kretek City and Wali City. In this opportunity, I am going to explain about why Kudus is chosen as the main destination for them who want to memorize Al-Qur’an.

            First is the environmental factor. Environment gives effect for shaping a character. It takes a part in people successfulness. In Kudus, some pesantren are orientated in tahfidz Al-Qur’an (memorize). Therefore, it goes without saying that Kudus is called as madinatul huffadz. Take a look the situation, people who want to memorize Al-Qur’an will have spirit and enjoy.

            Second is about choosing a friend. This factor is important for them. In kudus we can find many santri who memorize Al-Qur’an. They read a holy Qur’an by takrir menakrir method with their friends. For example, first person reads Al-Qur’an and second person is listening.

            Third is about teachers. Teacher in Kudus is categorized in two kind. First, is a setoran teacher and second is makhroj teacher. Setoran teacher is ustadz who receive our achievement every day. Different with setoran teacher, Makhroj teacher is a teacher who take a responsibility about our Tajwid. We are not allowed to do memorizing if we are not fluent in reading Al-Qur’an using Kudus standard.

            Next is a method. Talking about memorizing Al-Qur’an, Kudus has no absolute method that should be applied by santri. Moreover, santri are not allowed to memorize Al-Qur’an before their sound are heard as like madzhab Kudus as the standard. Last factor is related with fee. A daily needs or living cost in Kudus can be categorized inexpensive for them. That is all factors that make people want to study Al-Qur’an in Kudus.
