The Ataqohan Tradition as a Living Qur'an Phenomenon: A Phenomenological Study of Edmund Husserl in Wargajaya Village, Cigudeg District, Bogor Regency

Abstract

This study examines the Ataqohan tradition in Wargajaya Village, Cigudeg District, Bogor Regency, as a Living Qur'an phenomenon using Edmund Husserl's phenomenological approach. The study aims to understand the historical origins, implementation process, meaning, and function of the Ataqohan tradition in the local community's socio-religious life. A qualitative method was employed with data collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentary study. The findings reveal that the Ataqohan tradition is a religious ritual performed on the first night after someone's death, involving the recitation of Qur'anic verses, the dhikr of the tawhid phrase lā ilāha illā Allāh 70,000 times, and communal supplication. From a Living Qur'an perspective, this tradition represents an actualization of Qur'anic values in community social practice. Through Husserl's phenomenological analysis, the community is found to interpret this tradition as an expression of religious consciousness (intentionality), collective experience (intersubjectivity), and a part of the lifeworld (lebenswelt). The Ataqohan tradition also fulfills spiritual, social, and informal religious education functions.
