Abstract

Mistakes in reading tahlil readings in urban communities often occur due to pronunciation errors, which can result in changes in meaning due to a weak understanding of tajwid and pronunciation. This study aims to identify various reading errors that often occur among tahlil congregations related to their understanding of worship carried out in daily activities. The research method is qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documents. This study focuses on Dusun Gasek, Malang City, East Java. This location was chosen because it is very strategic in the city center and is known as a community active in religious activities. The discussion in this study is that two types of errors are commonly found: minor errors that do not affect the meaning (khafî), and serious errors that can change the meaning (jalî). The result of various factors causing these errors is due to dependence on the surrounding environment, which results in errors in reading tahlil. Thus, this study shows 12 types of errors, including tajwid errors such as errors in the length of the reading (mad) and pronouncing letters (makhrajul hurûf)
