Abstract

Purpose – This study explores the dynamics of al-Qur'an memorizing couples in realizing a sakinah family. This study fills a void in the literature on how the practice of memorizing the Qur'an can affect family relationships and daily life. The main argument is that the spiritual practice of memorizing the Qur'an can significantly improve family harmony and emotional well-being. Design/methods/approach – A qualitative approach focused on phenomenological studies to gain in-depth insights into the participants' experiences. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three couples who memorize the Qur'an and work as teachers at Roudlatul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes and patterns related to the impact of memorizing the Qur'an on family dynamics. Findings – The study found that memorizing the Qur'an helps control emotions, create inner calm, and increase wisdom in family decision-making. Spouses who memorized the Qur'an reported increased self-awareness and the ability to deal with conflict more calmly and wisely. These findings support the theory that listening to and remembering the Qur'an can reduce stress and promote inner calm through mechanisms that activate natural endorphins and stimulate delta waves. Research limitations – Some limitations of this study include the small sample size and focus on one particular location, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. Further research with a larger sample and various locations is needed to strengthen the conclusions. Originality – This study makes an essential contribution to the literature on the role of spirituality in family dynamics. The results of this study show that the memorization of the Qur'an has an impact not only on spiritual aspects but also on emotional and psychological aspects, providing a strong foundation for achieving a sakinah family. This research also opens up opportunities for further research on how religious practices can be used to improve the quality of family life.
