Resepsi Kolektif Surah al-Wāqi‘ah dan Rātib al-Ḥaddād: Konstruksi Sosial Makna Qur’ani di Pesantren Mahasiswa LSQ Al-Rahmah Yogyakarta

Abstract

This study examines the ritual practice of reciting Surah al-Wāqi‘ah and Rātib al-Ḥaddād at the LSQ Ar-Rohmah Islamic Boarding School in Yogyakarta through the lens of the Living Qur’an approach and Peter L. Berger’s sociology of knowledge. The research aims to uncover the processes of transmission and transformation of these two ritual texts in shaping the religious habitus of student pesantren communities, while also exploring how the rituals are meaningfully interpreted by their practitioners. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles & Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that the recitation of Surah al-Wāqi‘ah is perceived as a means of cultivating work ethics and economic optimism (ḥifẓ al-māl), while Rātib al-Ḥaddād is regarded as a spiritual tool for purification of the heart (tazkiyah al-nafs). Both practices have been institutionalized into the pesantren’s daily routine and are collectively received by the students, both cognitively and affectively. Furthermore, from a sociological perspective, these practices are not merely devotional acts, but also socially constructed meanings that integrate spirituality, symbolism, and Islamic pedagogy. This study demonstrates that Qur’anic and liturgical texts are enlivened within social spaces through the internalization of values transmitted by religious authorities and shared communal practice.
