(KAJIAN LIVING QUR’AN)

Abstract

Islam always teaches positive values, one of which is dhikr (remembrance of God). One of the most widely practiced forms of dhikr is the activity of Istighosah. This study presents the Qur’anic values within the Istighosah tradition among the community of Wiyoro Village, Pekalongan Regency (A Living Qur’an Study). This research is motivated by the increasing prevalence of Istighosah practices, both those conducted by religious social organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama and those held by various institutions and other organizations. One of the villages known for regularly conducting Istighosah is Wiyoro Village, located in Kandangserang District, Pekalongan Regency. This activity has been ongoing for a long time and has even become a monthly selapanan tradition in the village. The purpose of this research is to explain how the Istighosah activity is carried out in Wiyoro Village, Pekalongan Regency, and to identify the Qur’anic values contained within the Istighosah tradition practiced by the Wiyoro community. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, which focuses on individuals’ lived experiences. This study applies Karl Mannheim's sociology of knowledge theory, which includes three aspects of meaning: objective meaning, expressive meaning, and documentary meaning. The results of this research show that the Istighosah tradition is conducted in the mosque once every selapanan (35 days), specifically on Jumat Kliwon (a Friday on the Javanese calendar). The procession includes several recitations such as tawassul, maulid diba’, istighosah kubro, mau’idhoh hasanah (religious sermon), collective prayers, and a shared meal with the community. The Qur’anic values embedded in this Istighosah tradition include: drawing closer to Allah SWT, having faith in the Prophets and Messengers, values of patience and humility, Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah), moral and humanitarian values, and the love of sending blessings (sholawat) upon the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
