Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the effect of memorizing the Al Quran surah Thaha verse 25–28 on functional communication skills, independence, and quality of life in stroke patients with motoric aphasia disorders.
 
 MATERIALS & METHODS: The study was conducted at Ja'far Medika Karanganyar General Hospital, Central Java, Indonesia for approximately 3 months, with a total sample of 102 motor aphasia stroke sufferers, divided into 2 groups (n = 51) as controls receiving medical therapy, (n = 51) intervention group who received medical therapy and were trained to memorizing the Al Quran. The time of the study was carried out for three months starting December 4, 2017 to Maret 21, 2018. Type of quantitative research, using experimental design, simple randomized the pretest-posttest control group design. 
 
 RESULTS: Based on the results of path analysis that memorizing the Al Quran significantly influences the quality of life in stroke patients with motoric aphasia disorders of (r = 0.735; p = 0.000), while family support is (r = 0.321; p = 0,000), functional communication is (r = 0.017; p = 0.618) and independence by (r = 0.035; p = 0.305). Thus the direct influence of memorizing the Al Quran and family support for the quality of life is better, without having to go through functional communication and the level of independence as mediation.

Summary
The incidence of stroke ranks third as a cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Data from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) in Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics-2017 Updates, states that in America every 40 seconds an individual experiences a stroke and every 4 minutes someone dies from a stroke (Roger et al, 2017). Stroke is the third leading cause of death in developed countries, where 10 to 12% of all deaths are caused by strokes with a crude mortality rate of 50 to 100/100 thousand patients (Douiri et al, 2013). According to the basic health research of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (Riskesdas 2018), the prevalence of stroke increased when compared to the 2013 Riskesdas, the prevalence of stroke rose from 7% to 10.9% (Riskesdas 2018).
