Abstract: Community-based Quranic education has emerged as a strategic approach to addressing adult learning needs in a contextual and inclusive manner, particularly within the framework of contemporary Islamic education in Malaysia. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Smart Learning al-Quran Program in terms of participants’ mastery of tajwid and their perceptions of the program’s implementation. A descriptive quantitative design was employed, with data collected through pre- and post-program surveys involving 120 adult participants. Descriptive analyses, including means and score comparisons, were used to assess changes. The results show that average scores went up for all tajwid indicators, with the biggest improvement in understanding recitation rules (+1.14), followed by learning experience (+1.11) and pronunciation points (makhraj al-huruf, +1.06). Participants also reported high levels of satisfaction with the instructors and program content. These improvements reflect the promising potential of structured pedagogical strategies for enhancing adult tajwid proficiency. However, the absence of inferential statistical testing and qualitative triangulation limits the generalizability of the findings to the context of this study alone. It is suggested that future studies use a combination of methods, including real assessment tools, and look at long-term effects to help create a better, more lasting, and value-focused approach to teaching adults about the Quran.
