Abstract
For a Muslim, the Qur’an is a sacred book. When there is a problem related to the way of life, thinking, or Islamic values, then the Qur’an should be the first reference to use. Therefore, it is very important for Muslims to be able to read and practice the content of the Qur’an. However, today we can see that fewer and fewer homes have the Qur’an, and many Muslims can’t read it. This is very worrisome because it can make someone more and more distant from the teaching of the Prophet. Therefore, all parties, not only religious or BTQ teachers, but also teachers from other subjects and society, should take an active part in enhancing the culture of reading the Qur’an among Muslim families. Through the reading of the Qur’an, one can gain happiness in this world and in the Hereafter.
