The motivation to memorize the Quran varies among individuals, particularly among students at SDI Plus Imam Muslim, where each student's motivation is influenced by their unique circumstances and needs. These differences in motivation can impact the quality of the students' Quran memorization.

The research uses a qualitative descriptive method, with analysis conducted through interviews, observations, and documentation.

Parents support this process by maintaining supervision and not giving children complete freedom without oversight.
