Furthermore, to find out what impact Ngaji Jama' has on the social life of the people of Dompu, West Nusa Tenggara. The recitation of the Qur'an undergoes transmission and transformation, namely, the Recitation of the Qur'an in the Companions Era, the Recitation of the Qur'an in the Middle Era and the Recitation of the Qur'an in the Contemporary Era.
