Hubungan Kemampuan Memahami Makna Bacaan Al-Qur'an dengan Tingkat Kecerdasan Spiritual Mahasiswa

Abstract

Understanding the meaning of Quranic recitations plays a crucial role in shaping an
individual's spiritual awareness, especially in facing the challenges of modern life.
As the intellectual generation in an academic environment, students require the
reinforcement of spiritual intelligence to internalize Quranic values in their daily lives.
This study aims to examine the relationship between the ability to comprehend the
meaning of the Quran and the level of spiritual intelligence among students at Ahmad
Dahlan University Yogyakarta.This research employs a quantitative method with a
correlational approach to analyze the relationship between Quranic comprehension
and students' spiritual intelligence. The sample consists of 81 students from Ahmad
Dahlan University, selected using probability sampling with a random sampling
method. Data collection was conducted through a closed-ended questionnaire
using the Guttman scale, while data analysis techniques included Spearman's Rank
and Kendall Tau correlation tests to measure the degree of association between
the two variables.The results indicate a significant relationship between Quranic
comprehension and students' level of spiritual intelligence. The Spearman’s Rank
and Kendall Tau correlation tests yielded a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05),
with correlation coefficients of 0.552 and 0.479, respectively, indicating a moderate
to weak correlation. These findings reinforce that understanding the meaning
of the Quran contributes to the development of individual spiritual intelligence.
Therefore, enhancing Quranic comprehension can serve as an effective strategy for
strengthening students' spiritual intelligence.
