The introduction of reading the Qur’an from an early age is one of the noble tasks carried out by parents as the first educator in the family. Based on initial observations in Gampong Dalam, South Aceh Regency. Researchers found that parents have a role in introducing the reading of the Qur'an to children. This is evidenced by the child's ability to recite the recitation of the Qur'an. Therefore, this study aims to determine the role of parents in introducing the reading of the Qur'an to Early Childhood in Gampong Dalam and the obstacles they face. This research is a descriptive qualitative research using interview sheets to collect data. The informants interviewed were 9 parents who have early childhood in the gampong.
