As a result, the children were more motivated and receptive to memorizing short surahs. Applications/Originality/Value: This study highlights the effectiveness of interactive video as a tool for improving early childhood Qur'an memorization. It offers practical insights for educators and parents in selecting appropriate media to support young learners. The findings emphasize the importance of balancing digital media use with direct personal interaction to optimize both motivation and learning outcomes in early childhood religious education.
