One of the miracles of the Qur’an is believed to
influence the human’s mental health, particularly to those who
can memorize it. The Huffazh (Quranic Tahfidz) has been
discussed in many verses, but only recently that scientific
investigation gauged this issue, resulted in tremendous efforts to
implant it among Muslim communities. The current study seeks
to uncover the contribution of Quranic Tahfidz to mental health.
Eight hundred and twenty- eight students studying Islamic
Studies in the Faculty of Islamic Education and Teacher Training
were interviewed, observed, and given questionnaires to find out
their level of tahfidz and mental health. The findings revealed
among other things that 62.5 percents of the respondents were the
huffadz for 1 to 5 juz. The huffazh in 6 to 10 Juz constituted 7.5
percents, and there were only 10 huffazhs who memorized up to
10 Juz. Key words: Quranic tahfidz, mental health, Islamic studies.
