Need analysis on the development of tahfiz al-Quran learning model for students with visually impairment

The greatness of the Quran as the greatest miracle proves that even without the eyesight, there are many groups of al-Huffaz and al-Qurra' among the visually impaired. Thus, al-Quran memorization requires guidelines for devising a good memorization strategy. The strategy must be determined based on the individual's suitability and ability. In parallel, this study aims to explore the need to develop the tahfiz al-Quran learning model for student with visually impairment. This study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with the study's 7 participants in order to determine the needs of the model development, as well as the issues and obstacles that were encountered. The findings indicated that there is an agreement among all the participants on the need for an implementation the model specifically for student with visually impairment. Hence, the need to develop tahfiz al-Quran learning model for students with visually impairment is an initial phase to assist the next research process for the construction of a clear and systematic model framework. Furthermore, this study will develop a guideline model for visual impairment undergoing the al-Quran memorization process with a more effective and systematic way.
