Abstract

This study critically investigates the practice of using Qur’anic verses as “penglaris” (sales enhancers) within the local economic context of Sungai Penuh City, Jambi. Adopting the Living Qur’an framework and reception theory, and integrating phenomenological, mystical, and cultural contestation approaches, the research reveals how the meanings and functions of “penglaris” verses are constructed, negotiated, and enacted by traders, traditional leaders, and religious authorities. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 key informants and participant observation in three traditional markets. Major findings indicate that: First, verses such as Al‑Fātiḥah, Ayat al-Kursī, and the “Thousand Dinar” prayer are pragmatically employed as spiritual instruments to boost traders’ confidence and optimism; Second, belief in the barakah (blessing) of these verses underscores a mystical dimension inherent in the text, even as users affirm that sustenance ultimately remains Allah’s prerogative; Third, the practice functions as a competitive tool in market rivalry while also becoming a hegemonic norm within the community; and Fourth, a contestation of meaning arises between traditional authorities, who accept the practice as cultural heritage, and religious authorities, who critique it as potentially shirk (associationism). This study contributes to the development of Qur’anic reception methodology in contemporary tafsīr studies and broadens understanding of the interaction between sacred text, local traditions, and economic dynamics.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of using Quranic verses as trade charms in Sungai Penuh City through the Living Qur'an approach, which highlights how the community interprets and applies sacred texts in the local economic context. This research employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological and reception approach to understand the meanings, beliefs, and perspectives of the community regarding this practice. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and literature studies. The findings indicate that the use of Quranic verses as trade charms stems from various motivations, ranging from the belief in blessings to efforts to attract customers. Community views on this practice are divided: some regard it as a legitimate effort as long as it aligns with Islamic teachings, while others see it as an abuse of sacred texts. The study also reveals a contestation between customary and religious authorities in assessing the legitimacy of this practice. This research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between local traditions, Islamic values, and community economic practices. Additionally, it opens a space for theological reflection on the use of religious symbols in economic contexts. Penelitian ini mengkaji fenomena penggunaan ayat-ayat al-Qur'an sebagai penglaris dagangan di Kota Sungai Penuh, dengan menyoroti praktik masyarakat dalam memaknai dan menerapkan ayat-ayat suci dalam konteks ekonomi lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi dan resepsi untuk memahami makna, keyakinan, dan pandangan masyarakat terkait praktik tersebut. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan studi literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan ayat-ayat al-Qur'an sebagai penglaris memiliki latar belakang yang beragam, mulai dari keyakinan akan keberkahan hingga upaya menarik pelanggan. Pandangan masyarakat terhadap praktik ini terbagi menjadi dua: sebagian menganggapnya sebagai bentuk usaha yang sah selama tidak menyimpang dari ajaran Islam, sementara yang lain melihatnya sebagai bentuk penyalahgunaan ayat-ayat suci. Penelitian ini juga menemukan adanya kontestasi antara otoritas adat dan agama dalam menilai legitimasi praktik tersebut. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi dalam membangun pemahaman yang lebih mendalam mengenai hubungan antara tradisi lokal, nilai-nilai Islam, dan praktik ekonomi masyarakat. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga membuka ruang diskusi untuk refleksi teologis tentang penggunaan simbol-simbol agama dalam konteks ekonomi.
