Tradisi Tirakatan Keluarga Nusantara: Studi Living Qur’an Program Baca Tartil Al-Qur'an Hafizah Berkeluarga di Lamongan dan Gresik

Abstract

The tirakatan tradition with tartil recitation is a form of Quranic reception among members of Jam'iyyah Mudārasah Al-Qur'ān Li Al-Ḥāfiẓāt (JMQH) and is part of the Living Qur'an studies. This research is motivated by the busy schedules of hafizah who are married, the low quality of tartil recitation, and the lack of interest in revisiting memorized verses through khataman. This study is a field research using qualitative methods and a Living Qur'an approach. Primary data was collected from 30 informants, consisting of JMQH administrators and members, while secondary data was sourced from books, articles, and other documents. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive approach with reception theory by Sam D. Gill. The research results show that the tirakatan tradition involves Quranic recitation without interaction beyond one's connection to Allah. This activity is carried out by JMQH members across Indonesia from Sha'ban to Ramadan. Social factors in Lamongan and Gresik influence its practice. The benefits include improving memorization quality, focus, discipline, and inner peace. The reception of this tradition is divided into two aspects: the informative aspect through Islamic studies and the performative aspect through tartil recitation and belief in the verses as prayers.
