Abstract

Religious traditions in Islamic boarding schools are a real manifestation of human interaction with the Qur'an that gives birth to the practice of Living Qur'an. One example is found in the Nurul Ishlah Islamic Boarding School, namely through the tradition of "Amalan Shalawat Syajaratu an-Nuquud." This study aims to uncover the origins of this practice and analyze the reception of caregivers and students using the theory of Al-Qur'an reception from Ahmad Rafiq. This study uses a qualitative approach through field research methods. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that: Shalawat Syajaratu an-Nuquud, also known as shalawat 400, is a mandatory practice for students every Friday night which functions as a means of dhikr, munajat, and expression of love for the Prophet SAW; The typology of reception for this practice is included in the category of functional reception because its use is practical and spiritual. This study contributes to expanding understanding of the practice of Living Qur'an in Islamic boarding schools as a form of experiencing the values ​​of the Qur'an in a living and dynamic local tradition.
