Summary: | In Malaysia, children with disabilities (OKU) include hearing impairment, visual
impairment, physical impairment, speech impairment, mental impairment, learning
disabilities and various disabilities. Quranic learning for children with disabilities
(OKU) is often neglected. This is because the community considers that children with
disabilities are not required to study religion. Children with disabilities have various
levels of disabilities and they have the ability to master the recitation of the Quran if
given the opportunity. Therefore, the effort to provide opportunities for children with
disabilities to learn religion such as reciting the Qur'an is fardh kifayah. In Malaysia,
there are various methods of learning the Qur'an that have been used from ancient
times until now such as the method of Iqra ', the method of Baghdadi and others. In
fact, in recent times, the learning of the Quran for children with disabilities has gained
focus due to the awareness of parents to teach the Quran to them. Therefore, this study
aims to examine the methods of learning the Qur'an used to children with disabilities in
Malaysia and the challenges faced in the process of learning the Qur'an. The research
method used in this study is document analysis based on previous studies and research through journals and books related to the discussion on the learning of the Quran for
children with disabilities. The results of the study found that there are three methods of
learning the Quran used for disabilities in Malaysia, namely the method of Fakih, the
method of Abahata al-Jabari and the method of skin sensitivity for visual impairment.
However, in an effort to implement Quranic learning for children with disabilities,
there are challenges faced, namely experienced teachers, children's interest in learning
the Quran, controlling the emotions and behavior of children with disabilities as well
as space and environmental problems. The implication of the study is to identify
the existing methods of learning the Qur'an that can be used as a guide by parents,
teachers and preachers in teaching the Qur'an to children with disabilities. In addition,
agencies that manage children with disabilities may adopt the most appropriate method
according to the type of disability. |
