There are possible factors that affect Tahfiz students’ performance in Quran memorization. One noticeable factor was due to lack of etiquette. This phenomenon has been discussed by Quran teachers. Thus, this study was conducted to identify the etiquette factors of Quran memorization practice for Tahfiz students in Maahad Tahfiz Sulaimaniyyah, Malaysia. A qualitative case study was conducted involving focus group discussion interviews with two experienced teachers. The interview was transcribed verbatim, and keywords were identified. Coding was also made to classify the transcribed data. The results were validated by two experienced inter-raters. The findings indicated nine themes that are classified into three categories: (1) Etiquette before memorizing the Quran, (2) Etiquette during memorizing the Quran, and (3) Etiquette after memorizing the Quran. Each of these categories consists of detailing the etiquette factors. These findings provide etiquette factors to be be used as guideline for measuring tahfiz students’ etiquettes when memorizing al-Quran.
