Supporting factors in this effort include adequate facilities and support from the school, while the obstacles faced include variations in students' abilities and time constraints. In conclusion, the efforts made by teachers are effective in improving students' ability to read the Qur'an, although there are challenges that need to be overcome for more optimal results.
