Abstract: The objectives of this action research were to explore the conditions of promotion, to develop guidelines for promotion, to examine the results of the operational promotion of Islamic learning, and to propose application of the results for policymaking. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, brainstorming and critique meeting with early-elderly Muslims, Muslim leaders and Muslim academics. The data were analyzed with content analysis after experiments were conducted with the target groups. T-test and one-way ANOVA using the R program were performed. The results were as follows. 1) The elderly Muslims in the two areas had problems in Islamic learning, needed Islamic learning, had methods for Islam studies, received Islamic learning promotion, and had the same factors of Islamic learning. 2) A suitable guideline for promoting Islamic learning was group study activities or “Halaqah Activities Program†. 3) After the operational experiment, all the four groups of elderly Muslims had higher performance results on all the three aspects. 4) Heads of families, community leaders and local organizations should encourage the use of Halaqah activities to promote Islamic learning among all age groups.
