Memorizing Qur’an and Mathematics Achievement

The aim of this research is to know the correlation between memorizing Qur‘an and mathematics learning achievement. It is a quantitative research using linear regression. The sample was taken by purpose sampling technic and an elementary school in Sragen was chosen. The data source was a document of the mathematics subject mark and the number surah memorized. The result shows that there is a correlation between memorizing Qur‘an and mathematics learning achievement. The regression linear model was able to be built. The coefficient of regression is 1.024. This shows that memorizing one surah of Qur‘an more would make the mathematics learning achievement increases at 1.024 point. The coefficient of determination is 0.365. The conclusion is that memorizing Qur‘an has contribution to mathematics learning achievement This electronic document is a ―live‖ template and already defines the components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] in its style sheet.

Qur'an is the holy book of Islam.It is the words of Allah, the Lord in Islam, was revealed to prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him (PBUH).He teach his companions Qur'an by memorization.Allah Most High and Exalted has makes it easy for people to memorize the Qur'an.He also preserves its contents so that the Qur'an is protected from changes and any kind of abuse and changes (Hasyim, 2015).In preserving Qur'an, Allah involves His servants.It means that Allah gives His grace to His servants to get involved in maintaining Qur'an (Mas'udi, 2012).Memorizing the Qur'an is an effort to preserve Qur'an, to prevent a loss quantity of people to memorize the Qur'an also avoid any attempt to distort and falsify the Qur'an (Hasyim, 2015).
Nowadays, memorizing Qur'an has becoming more popular.There are many education institution offer memorizing Qur'an as a superior program.The institution are formal institution such as private school and Islamic school and non-formal institution Vol. 2 No. 1 February 2018ISSN : 2579-5724 ISSN : 2579-5260 (Online) http://ejournal.umm.ac.id/index.php/MEJsuch as boarding school.The trend, then, bring up a critical question whether memorizing Qur'an has positive effect to other aspects of education.
There have been various research conducted on correlation between reading and memorizing the Quran and various psychological variables, including anxiety, stress and mental helath.Thus, this study was aimed to investigate Qur'an memorization, it correlation to mathematical achievement.

RESEARCH METHOD
There are several researches about memorizing Qur'an.Some of them related memorizing Qur'an to academic achievement.A quantitative research revealed that memorizing Qur'an gives impact to achievement of Arabic lesson of students (Rosidah, 2015).Another research, an experimental research which was giving memorizing Qur'an lesson.Academic achievement before the lesson was compared to after lesson one.The result was a significantly difference.It was also showed that there was positive impact in socio-culture life of the one who commit to memorize Qur'an (Nawaz, 2015).
An action research of cognitive skill enhancement through memorizing Qur'an in Qur'an Hadith lesson.A change is showed after second cycle where the initial average of cognitive score increased from 75 to 80.The rate of active students also increased (Dhomiroh, 2015).A correlational found the correlation between intensity of memorizing Qur'an and self-control.It stated in conclusion that there is a positive correlation and the coefficient correlation is 0.587 (Maliki, 2009).
This research is a quantitative research held in 2016 at Lukmanul Hakim elementary school in Sragen regency.Data was collected by documentation.There was two particular documentations, the amount of surah memorized by students and mathematics achievement score taken from middle examination.This is a correlational and predictive research.A correlational research is looking for the correlation between memorizing Qur'an to mathematical achievement

RESULT
The data was taken form 54 students of mathematics achievement score and the number of surah in Qur'an memorized.Data processing utilized IBM SPSS Statistic 21 computer program.Before doing regression analysis, the data was tested for normality and heteroskedasticity.Normality test hold by plot.The result showed that all data is near the line.It can be said that the data is normal distributed.Heteroskedasticity is tested by Scatterplot.The data is spreading and not forming a certain pattern as seen in Fig 1.The coefficient of correlation (R) is 0.596.This say that the number of surah memorized has positive correlation to mathematics achievement.The R-Square or the coefficient of determination is 0.356.It means that Qur'an memorization gives impact to mathematics achievement at 35.6% as shown by table 1.

Hypothesis
H 0 : There is no influence Qur'an memorization to mathematics achievement H 1 : There is influence Qur'an memorization to mathematics achievement Fig.1 Scatterplot for Heteroskedastisity Test

value of significant is 0.000.It is obviously less than 0.05.Therefore, the regression model in this research is a linear model.This also said that the model could be used to predict the dependent variable.On the other words, mathematics achievement could be predicted by the model
