This study investigates the challenges faced by Islamic education teachers in teaching the subject of Al-Quran in primary schools. The Al-Quran is a fundamental pillar in Islamic education, and the correct approach is necessary to ensure a solid understanding of Islamic religion and culture. Hence, Islamic education teachers bear significant responsibility to ensure the effective teaching of the Al-Quran to primary school students. This study examines the challenges encountered by these teachers, including the lack of appropriate resources, the need to understand child development, and the need for teaching methods suited to children's developmental stages. A qualitative research method was employed to gain insights into these challenges. The findings indicate that the main challenges include a shortage of suitable teaching aids, difficulties in engaging children’s interest in learning the Al-Quran, and the need to integrate more play-based approaches in teaching the Al-Quran to primary school students. In conclusion, the provision of more effective teaching aids, deeper understanding of child development, and creative teaching approaches are some of the steps that can be taken to address these challenges. The research design utilized qualitative methods, focusing on data collection instruments and interviews.
