Learning the Holy Qur’an is obligatory for both Muslim men and women since it is a perfect guide for human life in this world and hereafter. However, it is surprising that the Muslim society is far from the Holy Qur’an due to an increased desire for worldly life. It is possible to identify, especially among university students, that their connection or involvement with the Holy Qur’an is becoming spiritually retrograde. Therefore, the study employed a convergent mixed-method research design to identify the involvement of university students with the Holy Qur’an. A total of 315 university students voluntarily participated in this study by filling self-Administrated questionnaires, conducting unstructured interviews and telephone conversations. Moreover, the secondary data was collected from various sources of information such as books, journal Articles, web-publications. The collected data was analysed by way of descriptive method. findings of the study were presented in the form of tables, charts, sentences and texts. This study concludes with the argument that the university students were lack of involvement with the Holy Qur’an, and they are rarely involved in learning and memorizing the Holy Qur’an. Moreover, the numerous factors are there as obstacles to learning the Holy Qur’an and the majority have realized that they will not be able to respond to the inquiry in this regard on the day of judgment.
