The Quran is a source of knowledge for mankind given to Prophet Muhammad as a guidance by Allah the Almighty. Memorising the Quran began by Prophet Muhammad, his companions and continued by scholars who are experts in their field.

This study aims to identify the effect of the memorisation of the Quran (hereafter referred as hifz al-Quran) achievement on the academic performance of secondary school students. The sample of the study consist of 83 students of a maahad tahfiz school in Pahang. Their performance in memorising the Quran and academic was recorded and analysed using descriptive statistics, coefficient of variation, correlation, and regression analysis. The finding shows the distribution in academic performance is equally consistent as compared to memorising the Quran based on the result of value coefficient of variation. The results also show that there is a significant positive relationship between students' hifz performance and academic performance which can be initially presumed that the students who excel in memorising Quran are more likely to excel in their academic field. Analysis of regression indicated that memorising the Quran has significant effect on academic performance where for every one marks of increase in memorising the Quran, the marks for academic performance also increase by 0.58. There are 22% of total variation in academic performance of student influenced by memorising the Quran. Therefore, the study serves a beautiful insight hidden on the effect of the Quran to academic performance.
