Quoting from Caknun.com and the introduction to the Tadabbur Maiyah Padhangmbulan Al-Qur’an Mushaf, the word tadabbur is an election judged to be by the needs of the Maiyah congregation. The study of the Koran at Maiyah Padhangmbulan was directed to tadabbur because it was considered to be by the needs of the community.

The Maiyah Padhangmbulan congregation is very heterogeneous, and most of them are lay in the religious sciences. Therefore, what is needed by the community is not a scientific study but a spiritual study of amaliah. What is required is not a broad or deep understanding of the Qur’an but to understand the meaning of the verse in general and then reflect, appreciate, and how to practice it in real life.

“Therefore, the choice of verses is adjusted to the needs for the development of the soul and life,” said Ahmad Fuad Efendi in the Introduction to the Mushaf of the Qur’an and Tadabbur Maiyah Padhangmbulan.
