The Qur’an, especially the short letters, might be difficult for many principals and kindergarten teachers to memorize. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of an instructional method called the Zahrawain Method, in learning to memorize the Holy Quran, with a group of Surakarta’s kindergarten principals and teachers. This research design employs a quasi-experimental method, to capture the before and aftereffects of using the selected instructional method. Findings have shown that the participants from the experimental group were more able to memorize the assigned Surah from the holy book, after seven instructional sessions. The instrument used to measure the effectiveness was by documentation and validated by psychology experts, early childhood education experts, and Arabic teachers. The study concludes that the Zahrawain method is an available instructional method in teaching the Holy Quran, to meet the local expectations at Surakarta district.
