Lesson planning means the teacher's understanding of what will be delivered and how teaching process implementation should be implemented are based on the suitability of students and the content needs of the field. This study explores the implementation aspects of planning and preparation of Islamic education teachers (GPI) to integrate science and Al Quran in teaching. A total of four GPIs who teach at maahad tahfiz sains who use the tahfiz sains stream integration curriculum have been found. The respondents of the study were selected using the purposive sampling technique. This study used Atlas t.i 7.5.7 program software to analyze each data obtained. There are three main themes found based on the perspectives of the four study participants. The first is lesson planning and the sub-theme of the Daily Teaching Plan and the Annual Teaching Plan; the second is the theme of preparation of teaching aids and the sub-theme is ICT materials; the third is the discussion theme and the sub-theme is friends.Therefore, teachers need to plan and implement lessons that can increase the awareness, understanding and confidence of students that Allah s.w.t is the only God who must be worshiped. Tahfiz teaching planning should be arranged more systematically, especially in terms of planning lesson activities, lesson materials and discussions with peers in order to provide maximum impact on students' acquisition of knowledge.
