Quotes the interview even though it was delivered by the informants in a language slightly different, but actually they had the same purpose. The first theme was sincere intentions because of Allah SWT, according the informant. One of the success factors in memorizing the Quran was sincere intention sincere because of Allah SWT, because all good deeds would get a reward with Allah SWT depended on a person's initial intention in doing this practice.

For a memorizer of the Quran praise from other people did not make him proud and arrogant, because he believed that all the memorization he had was a deposit from Allah SWT and was not appropriate to boast before men. Thus, from the results of interviews with informants of the findings of this first theme became the main factor in the success they memorize the Quran. This theme was stated by three informants as excerpts of the interview in table 1 below:  3 Willingness and determination for myself, because for me success or failure in memorizing the Quran is in accordance with the determination and sincerity of each individual in the memorization process... The third theme was planning a good memorization target, according to the results interviews that the writer conducted with several informants, then, the third theme three was the majority of the answers to the questions the writer asked.
According to the informant, planning a good memorization target gave motivation for them in memorizing the Quran. With a target they wanted to achieve, it would generate enthusiasm to achieve the target. So, According to some informants, success in memorizing the Quran could be seen from the achievement of the targets made before starting the memorization process of Quran. This theme was stated by three informants as quoted from interviews in table 3 below: The fourth theme was memorizing verses with the correct reading tajwid. According to informants their success in memorizing the Quran was also due to because they memorized the Quran according to the science of recitation, directly applying the science of tajwid in memorizing would provide convenience and the fluency of each memorized verse. Tajwid knowledge will also provide the beauty of reading so that it added to the solemnity of memorizing the Quran.This theme was stated by two informants as quoted from interviews in table 4 below: My success factor in memorizing the Quran is the tajwid method, because the correct recitation in memorizing really helps make it easier for every verse to be memorized...
The fifth theme was to always repeat memorization diligently. Repeating memorization was something that was obligatory for memorizing the Quran, because memorization would become stronger when it was often repeated. This fifth theme was used a lot by informants as one of the success factors in memorizing the Quran.
According to an informant, a memorizer of the Quran was said to be successful in memorizing was when he was istiqamah repeating his memorization.
This theme was delivered by two informants as shown in the interview excerpts in the table 5 following:   The eighth theme was using the right method. According to the informant, the selection of the right method also had an impact on success in memorizing the Quran. Everyone had their own method of memorizing. There were those who only saw the form of writing and then he memorized it, however there were also those who just listened to murottal could memorize it, or even there were also those that had to be read over and over again to be memorized. The right method would make it easier for memorizing the Quran, then the findings of the last theme was used as one of the factors that supported students' success at Sekolah Tiggi Agama Islam Pengembangan Ilmu Alquran (STAI-PIQ) Sumatera Barat. This theme was conveyed by two informants as shown in the excerpt interviews in table 8 below:  Related to the factors that supported the success of students memorizing The Quran at Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Pengembangan Ilmu Alquran (STAI-PIQ) Sumatera Barat, the results of the study actually found eight themes, including namely i) sincere intentions due to Allah SWT, ii) strong self-determination, iii) planning good memorization target, iv) memorizing verses with correct recitation, v) always repeating memorization diligently, vi) always being motivated by a supervisor, vii) living in a Quran environment, viii) using the right method. To make the eight findings of this study more interesting, the writers would discuss based on theory, expert opinion, and the results of previous research discussed.
These problems were in more or less the same context and issues.
First (sincere intentions because of Allah SWT), to be the guardian of Kalam Allah SWT were those who were chosen directly by Allah SWT, not everyone could do it, this was because it took a lot of efforts and sincere intentions only expect a reward from Allah SWT. Sincere intentions in the day were things that needed to be considered before starting memorizing the Quran (Husna et al., 2021). According to Masduki, (2018) ;Marza, (2017) to be able to memorize all the contents of the Quran did not require a short time, but took a long time, and even repeating memorization was a lifelong obligation for a memorizer Quran. During the memorization process, several exams would make a memorizer of the Quran stop to do it such as felling bored, lazy, tired, or even feeling like giving up before being able to finish 30 Juz. It needed strong intention and motivation to overcome these problems.
According to several previous studies such as Supriono Meaning: "And whoever desires the hereafter and strives towards it earnestly while he is a believer, then they are people whose efforts are well rewarded".
Third (planning the memorization target well), the target was the target The results of research from Romziana et al., (2021)  Syafaruddin, (2017); Syaifullah et al., (2021) tajwid was the knowledge that learned and explained the procedures for reading the Quran properly and correctly.
Someone who memorized the Quran with the rules of recitation would have different levels the speed he memorized compared to people who memorized without having the knowledge of tajwid (Retnowati, 2019). According to the informant, the knowledge of recitation also affected the quality and fluency of reading when compared to someone who did not understand tajwid. Then, also according to Sulistiyono, (2020) explained: that memorizing the Quran had to be first prepared for reading the Quran or verses that were memorized in accordance with tajwid, because of reading with tajwid, the right one would achieve maximum quality and success.
Based on the results of the research above, it was clear that memorizing the Quran with good and correct tajwid knowledge was one of the success factors in memorizing the Quran. Therefore, before starting to memorize the Quran it was better first understand in-depth the knowledge of recitation so that it would be easy to apply in the memorization process.
Fifth (always repeating memorization diligently), diligent meant diligent and serious in doing something, this was especially true in memorizing Quran.
Mujahadah or perseverance is the most important thing in someone's success to memorize the Quran. According to one of the informants, the characteristics of the people who were diligent in repeating memorization were having strong memorization or mutqin. This could be achieved because of discipline towards the  (Sapara et al., 2020). Then the environment was comfortable, peaceful and Islam Eighth (using the right method), the method of memorizing The Quran could be interpreted as a method or strategy used so that it could help someone in memorizing the Quran. In memorizing the Quran, there were several methods that could help, including the talqin method, talaqqi, kitabah, tikrar, tawazun (Lubis & Ismet, 2019;Mashud, 2019;Rahmi, 2019;Albi et al., 2020;Romziana et al., 2021).
According to one of the informants choosing the right method was the most important thing in the success of memorizing the Quran, because everyone had their own method of memorizing and memorizing could not be equated. According Based on several research results that the writers have described, the use of the right method was one of the success factors in memorizing the Quran. The appropriate method was determined by each self-memorizer itself according to the ability he had.
