The Fade of the Khataman Al-Quran Tradition of The Bride in the Malay Community of Palembang

Abstract

Studies about the Qur'an, of course, have been widely studied. This research will complement the research that has been done before. In the time of the Holy Prophetsa. TheQur'an is done by gathering the closest family then followed by the recitation of the khataman prayer. This khataman tradition continues to be preserved by friends and along with the development of Islam in Malay land, this tradition has become popular among the Malay Islamic community. In its implementation, this tradition is also packed with various cultures, such as the bride's Quran khataman for the Palembang Malay community. The uniqueness of this tradition is carried out only by the bride. This is to show that the bride has been educated with religious education by both her parents.  Now, this tradition is eroded by cultural alkuturation, because most Palembang Malays no longer practice this tradition. This paper discusses the fading tradition of khataman Al-Quran bride in the Malay community of Palembang. This type of research is field research with a qualitative approach. The methods used are observation and interviews. This study resulted in findings    of the fading of this tradition due: (1) Lack of education from both parents to learn to read the Qur'an. (2) Although they learn the Quran, the habit of reading the Quran is not trained from an early age. (3) Parents are too busy preparing for child marriage. (4) The bride and groom are more likely toprepare pre-wedding and post-wedding documentation than to prepare to read the Quran.
