Examining the Role of Knowledge, Skills and Motivation on the Attitude of Reciting the Quran

Abstract

Al-Quran is the Book of Allah which is considered as worship when reciting it. Nowadays, there are also many people who cannot master the recitation of the Al-Quran well. Therefore, this study was conducted in order to see the factors that cause this to happen. This study has two objectives which are to determine the correlation between knowledge, skills, motivation, and attitude of reciting the Quran and identifying factors (knowledge, skills, motivation) that influence the attitude of reciting the Quran. The study methodology is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods by which questionnaires are used as well as interviews. The sample for quantitative study comprises of 59 staffs in UiTM Kelantan Branch and was selected at random by using simple random sampling. The findings showed that there is a positive correlation between knowledge, skills, and motivation and the habit of reciting the Quran. However, the findings from the Multiple Regression Analysis show that only the Quran recitation skills are significant in the attitude of reciting the Quran. Therefore, more classes or programmes should be organized to improve Quran recitation skills.
