This study examines how Qur’anic teachings on mutual admonition are socially received and practiced within the plantation worker community of PT Sewangi Sejati Luhur, Sukaramai Village, Tapung Hulu District, Kampar Regency, using a Living Qur’an perspective. The research is grounded in the assumption that Qur’anic verses do not function solely as normative texts, but are also embodied in everyday social practices, values, and communal interactions. Focusing on Surah Al-Balad verse 17 and Surah Al-‘Asr verse 3, this study explores how the ethical principle of mutual admonition is interpreted, negotiated, and enacted in the socio-cultural life of the community. Employing qualitative field research with a descriptive-analytical approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that mutual admonition in this community is manifested not merely as verbal advice, but as a socially embedded religious practice expressed through collective worship, interpersonal moral reminders, and communal solidarity in addressing social and economic challenges. Its enactment is shaped by religious understanding, educational background, and socio-economic conditions, which together influence the forms and intensity of Qur’anic reception in daily life. This study contributes to Living Qur’an scholarship by demonstrating how Qur’anic ethical teachings are transformed into lived religious praxis within a plantation community, thereby extending the discussion of Qur’anic reception beyond textual interpretation toward embodied social practice.
