Experimental design with post-test only control group design was used in this study. Participants involved in the study were 60 psychology students in the first semester by using random sampling. Participants grouped into an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 30 participants. The instrument used was a false memory question comprising of 30 questions been validated by expert judgment at the trial stage. The instrument validation was carried out qualitatively by three lecturers with psychological and measurement backgrounds. Validation results show that there are language and content improvements in the instruments used, and then the authors correct them so that all experts agree that the instrument is suitable for use. Meanwhile, the results of the study show that there is a significant difference between the two groups given treatment and not, where from the score obtained, the experimental group obtained a greater score on filling in the false memory test than the control group. These studies inform that giving Murottal Al-Qur'an can reduce the level of false memory in the subject.

On another utterance, it can be said that false memory is a distorted episodic memory. Episodic memory is memory related to events in the past (Sandrini et al., 2019). Episodic memory stores information about the content, location, and face of an event so that it is very influential on human life (Hassabis & Maguire, 2007; Rugg & Vilberg, 2013). Human dependence on their memory makes them believe that memory must provide correct information. However, in reality, human memory can experience an error. This happens because human's memory is vulnerable to a lot of mixed information, can be lost, can be replaced, can even be created (Leising et al., 2019). The results showed that real and false memories activate the same parts of the brain, processed by the same methods, and show the same patterns (Otgaar et al., 2019). Thus, we will find it difficult to distinguish which memory is true or false because both are experienced the same as real memory. In Bhinnety (2008), there are two kinds of memory; Short Term Memory and Long Term Memory. The first appeared information entered in short-term memory, which always acts collectively with another because it directly related to knowledge. If the information already received in short memory, it can be retransfered through long-term repetitive activity so it can be stored, or the obtained information lost because of it has been replaced by something new (Ranganath
