Korelasi Tilawah Al-Qur'an Dengan Kesehatan Mental Anak-Anak Di Era Modern

Children's mental health in the modern era faces serious challenges stemming from pressures related to digital technology, academics, and social environments. This study examines the correlation between the recitation of the Quran and children's mental health, employing an interdisciplinary approach that integrates classical and contemporary tafsir (Quranic exegesis), Islamic psychology, and empirical research. The study utilizes a library research methodology, incorporating thematic analysis of Quranic verses, authoritative tafsir works, and scholarly journals. The findings indicate that the recitation of the Quran has a significant impact on reducing anxiety, enhancing concentration, building emotional resilience, and fostering inner tranquility in children. The theological foundations—drawn from Surah Ar-Ra'd: 28, Al-Isra': 82, and Yunus: 57—are supported by neuroscience research, which demonstrates that Quranic recitation leads to a reduction in cortisol levels and an increase in alpha brain waves. Practical implementation involves strategies for incorporating regular Quranic recitation within families and Islamic educational institutions, utilizing positive technology as a learning medium—without replacing direct interaction with the mushaf (physical copy of the Quran).
