Interdisciplinary studies between religious studies and psychology are important to understand more deeply how Quran recitation contributes to fetal development. In Islamic religious tradition, there is a practice of listening to Quran recitation to the fetus as part of the habituation of faith values from an early age. Quran recitation is believed to bring calm, instill spiritual values, and be a form of early stimulation for the spiritual development of the fetus. This study aims to examine the effect of Quran recitation on the psychological development of the fetus in the womb through a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature studies. Data were obtained from various scientific sources such as journals, Islamic psychology books, and relevant previous research. The results of the study indicate that the fetus begins to be able to respond to sound stimulation from 24 weeks of gestation, so that Quran recitation can act as spiritual stimulation that fosters calm, emotional balance, and an inner bond between the mother and fetus. Quran recitation is not only a form of worship, but also has a positive influence on the emotional and cognitive development of the fetus. The integration of Islamic values and developmental psychology is an important foundation in forming a generation that is emotionally healthy and spiritually strong from the womb.
