Pre-Marital Completion of the Qur'an in Bangai Village: A Study of the Living Qur'an
Keywords:
Completion of the Qur'an, Prospective Bride and Groom, Wedding Traditions, Bangai Village, Living Qur'an, Peusijuk (Flour Ceremony)Abstract
This study aims to analyze the practices and meanings of the khatam Al-Qur'an tradition for prospective brides and grooms in Bangai Village, Torgamba District, South Labuhan Batu Regency, as well as its relevance to religious and social identity. Using a qualitative approach with field research and the Living Qur'an framework, data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation of community leaders, religious scholars, and prospective brides and grooms. The results show that this long-standing tradition, which is carried out before the marriage contract, is considered essential for bringing blessings, even though its implementation often only involves reading part of Juz 30 (Surah Ad-Dhuha to An-Nas). This tradition serves as intrinsic motivation for prospective brides and grooms to improve the quality of their recitation of the Qur'an and strengthen religious values in marriage, in line with the practice of Living Qur'an in Indonesia. As a recommendation, this tradition needs to be preserved as local wisdom that enriches the meaning of marriage, while encouraging brides and grooms to regularly and completely recite the entire Qur'an.
