<![CDATA[There are differences in the reception of Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur'an (MTQ) participants towards Qira'at Sab'ah. Some participants do not only view Qira'at Sab'ah as a competition branch, but also as part of the treasury of Al-Qur'an knowledge. This study aims to determine the reception of participants towards Qira'at Sab'ah, participants' understanding of Qira'at Sab'ah in reading the Qur'an, and its application to participants in the Qira'at Sab'ah branch of the 41st West Sumatra Provincial MTQ in Bukittinggi City. This study is a field research with a Living Qur'an approach and uses Ahmad Rafiq's reception theory. The study was conducted qualitatively through interviews and documentation. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that participants had a positive reception towards Qira'at Sab'ah. Qira'at Sab'ah is understood as a science that has a mutawatir sanad and is part of the treasury of Al-Qur'an reading. From the Living Qur'an perspective, the participants' reception reflects an exegetical reception, namely an understanding of the scientific foundations of Qira'at Sab'ah, as well as a functional reception evident in its application in coaching, learning, and MTQ competitions. Thus, Qira'at Sab'ah is understood not only as a competitive branch, but also as a legacy of Islamic scholarship that needs to be studied, practiced, and preserved.]]>
