Abstract

The practice of reciting Surah al-Takāṡur in the marzoah tradition in Islamic cemeteries in Medan City represents a form of Qur’an reception that lives within the socio-religious space while simultaneously emphasizing the urgency of a living Qur’an approach to understanding the dynamic relationship between the sacred text and death-ritual practices. The study focuses on analyzing the pattern of community reception, the construction of meaning attached to Surah al-Takāṡur, and the relationship between the text and death-memorialization practices in the local context. A qualitative approach based on the living Qur’an is used, with data collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using a thematic-interpretive framework to uncover layers of symbolic and functional meaning. The findings show variations in reception patterns that include performative, spiritual, and communal dimensions; Surah al-Takāṡur is understood as an eschatological reminder, an instrument for reflection on mortality, and a medium for strengthening social solidarity in death rituals. The construction of meaning develops through the interaction between normative teachings, local traditions, and the collective experiences of the congregation, resulting in an integration between textual messages and social practices. The relationship between text and practice demonstrates an adaptive negotiation of meaning, where Qur’anic recitation is not merely a symbolic ritual but a means of internalizing values ​​and shaping the community’s religious identity. The implications of this study enrich the theoretical framework of the living Qur’an and provide an empirical contribution to understanding the contextual and meaningful layers of Muslim religious practice.

Abstract

The practice of offerings persists in some Muslim communities as an expression of local traditions believed to have symbolic and protective functions. At the same time, Islamic teachings emphasize the purity of monotheism, thus creating normative tensions between culture and religious texts. The focus of this study is to test the validity of the practice of offerings through the recitation of Surah al-Baqarah verse 170, to assess its suitability from the perspective of the Qur’an. A qualitative case study-based approach was applied in Sumberejo Village, Pagar Merbau District through field observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic interpretation to link the meaning of the verse to social reality. The results show that the practice of offerings is built on social constructions inherited from generation to generation, reinforced by cultural authority and collective beliefs about salvation. The analysis of the verse reveals criticism of the attitude of following traditions without rational basis and revelation, so that the practice of offerings is considered to have no legitimacy within the framework of monotheism. The validity test shows the inconsistency between local practices and the basic principles of Islamic teachings that reject all forms of symbolic intermediaries in requests for protection. The implications of this study enrich the development of contextual interpretations that are responsive to cultural realities and emphasize the dynamic relationship between religion and tradition in contemporary Muslim society.
