<![CDATA[The Armarohimin Tradition is a form of Living Qur'an practice preserved by the people of Nagari Taram, Lima Puluh Kota Regency, as a spiritual effort to seek rainfall through the recitation of Qur'anic verses, dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and supplication. Previous studies have generally examined the Armarohimin Tradition from the perspectives of its historical background, ritual implementation, and cultural acculturation. However, limited attention has been given to how the local community perceives the use of Qur'anic verses as part of a Living Qur'an practice. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Armarohimin Tradition, identify the Qur'anic verses employed and their meanings, and examine community perceptions regarding the use of these verses from the perspective of Living Qur'an. This research employs a qualitative approach using the Living Qur'an method through field research. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that the community understands the recitation of Qur'anic verses as a means of supplication, seeking forgiveness (istighfar), and placing trust (tawakkul) in Allah SWT, rather than as texts possessing inherent supernatural power. The Armarohimin Tradition begins with the recitation of qunut supplication, followed by community deliberation, the recitation of selected Qur'anic verses, dhikr, salawat, and collective prayers involving all members of the community. The Qur'anic passages used, namely Q.S. Nuh [71]: 10–11, Q.S. Ibrahim [14]: 32, Q.S. Hud [11]: 3 and 52, and Q.S. Al-Baqarah [2]: 60, reflect functional, performative, and exegetical receptions of the Qur'an within the community's religious life. The novelty of this study lies in its analysis of community perceptions regarding the use of Qur'anic verses in the Armarohimin Tradition from a Living Qur'an perspective, thereby expanding the discourse on Qur'anic reception beyond ritual practices to include the community's construction of the meanings and functions of Qur'anic verses in socio-religious life. This study contributes to the development of Living Qur'an scholarship by providing a deeper understanding of the relationship between the Qur'anic text, local cultural practices, and community perceptions in shaping religious values within society.]]>
